Steve Trevor quotes from Wonder Woman (2017)

Steve Trevor

I love fire, don't you? It is like a living act of entropy. The ultimate weapon of destruction. Reminding us that in the end everything eventually returns to the ash it came from.

Steve Trevor

I am taking you to the front. We are probably gonna die. This is a terrible idea!

Steve Trevor

It has to be me. I can save today. You can save the world. I wish we had more time. [backing way from Diana] I love you!

How long until we reach the war?

Steve

The war? Which part? The Western Front in France is 400 miles long, from the Alps to the North Sea.

Where the fighting is the most intense, then. If you take me there, I'm sure I'll find Ares.

Steve

Ares, as in the... the god of war?

The god of war is our responsibility. Only an Amazon can defeat him. With this. [holds up the "Godkiller" sword] And once I do, the war will end.

Steve

Look, I, uh... I appreciate your spirit, but this war is... it's a great big mess. And, uh, there's not a whole lot you and I can do about that. I mean, we can get back to London and try to look for men who can--

I'm the man who can! And once I find and destroy Ares, the German armies will be freed from his influence, and they will be good men again, and the world will be better.

Steve

Great...

You'll see.

Steve

This is No Man's Land, Diana! It means no man can cross it, alright? This battalion has been here for nearly a year and they've barely gained an inch. Alright? Because on the other side there are a bunch of Germans pointing machine guns at every square inch of this place. This is not something you can cross. It's not possible.

So … what? … so we do nothing?!

Steve

No – we are doing something. We are! We just … we can't save everyone in this war. This is not what we came here to do.

No. But it is what I am going to do.

Is this what people do when there are no wars to fight?

Steve

Yeah... [stutters] This and other things.

What things?

Steve

Umm, they have breakfast. They love their breakfast. And, umm, they love to wake up and read the paper and go to work, they get married, make some babies, grow up together. I guess.

What is that like?

Steve

I have no idea.

Steve

I can't let you do this.

What I do is not up to you.
[She shoves him away from her and rushes after Ludendorff]

No! After everything I saw, it can't be! It cannot be! They were killing each other. Killing people they cannot see. Children. Children! No, it had to be him, it cannot be them.

Steve

Diana, people-- [stutters]

She was right. My mother was right. She said, "The world of men do not deserve you". They don't deserve our help.

Steve

It's... it's not about "deserve". Maybe-maybe we don't. But it's not about that, it's about what you believe. You don't think I get it after what I've seen out there? You don't think I wish I could tell you that it was one bad guy to blame? It's not! We're all to blame.

I'm not.

Steve

But maybe I am!

Charlie

Oh. My. God...! What are we gonna do‽

Steve

There's not much we can do, if that's who I think it is.
