Quotes 

• Marcia : You may be fast, Wonder Woman, but nobody can be in two places at the same time!

  [laughs] 

  Wonder Woman : It's over, Marcia. You're through.

  Marcia : You may have me, but the Third Reich will never be through. It will go on a thousand years!

  Wonder Woman : I heard the Greeks and the Romans say the same thing.

  Marcia : You heard that?

  Wonder Woman : I may be older than I look.

• Wonder Woman : [Walks through, Steve's office door]  I knew it was you all the time.

  Marcia : You didn't know anything.

  Wonder Woman : Well, I knew that you had a friend who carried a machine gun in her purse. And you won't get away with whatever you're doing.

  Marcia : Oh-ho. Then who's gonna stop me?

  [Marcia points a gun at Wonder Woman] 

  Wonder Woman : You, of all people, should realize how useless that gun is against me.

  Marcia : I don't need a gun to take you, Wonder Woman. I was Nuremberg Judo Champ!

  Wonder Woman : I assume...

  [closes door] 

  Wonder Woman : ...that that is supposed to impress me.

  Marcia : [Karate Yell]  Hah!

  [Wonder Woman and Marcia gets into a tussle] 

  Wonder Woman : [ending their climatic fight]  They didn't teach you to fight fair!

  [Punches Marcia, in the face] 

  Wonder Woman : [Walks to Marcia, tying her to the chair with her golden lasso]  Now, you are going to tell the truth.

  Marcia : I... I...

  [Marcia gasps for air] 

  Wonder Woman : Don't bother fighting it. That lasso compels you to be honest, and you must answer every question. Where is Steve Trevor?

  Marcia : [Out of breath]  M-M-My apartment, 20-2809 West 20th Street, Chevy Chase.

• Wonder Woman : I can avoid that bullet faster than you can shoot, Mr. Norman.

• Wonder Woman : You obviously have little regard for womanhood. You must learn respect!

• Wonder Woman : Women are the wave of the future, and sisterhood is stronger than anything!

• Diana : You wanted to see me, Mother?

  Queen Hippolyte : You may leave his care to others.

  Diana : Well, thank you, but I would prefer to stay on until I'm certain that he's well.

  Queen Hippolyte : That was a command, not a request.

  Diana : Am I allowed to ask why?

  Queen Hippolyte : You are very intelligent.

  Diana : I am your daughter.

  Queen Hippolyte : There are so many things you don't know. Do you have any idea of your age?

  Diana : By what standard?

  Queen Hippolyte : By the Earth's clock.

  Diana : No.

  Queen Hippolyte : You are immortal, as are all of us on Paradise Island. If you should ever leave here, you could revert to a human being.

  Diana : Why are you telling me this now, Mother?

  Queen Hippolyte : Because I sense what might happen between you and that man. We are stronger, wiser and more advanced than all those people in their jungles out there. Our civilization is perfection!

  Diana : No. There's something missing, Mother. When I look at Steve Trevor, I feel things. Things I've never known before.

  Queen Hippolyte : There are some things that are better not known. Young Amazon minds are best occupied with athletic discipline and higher learning. We now know why he was in the area. That man must be returned to his own country.

  Diana : But why, Mother?

  Queen Hippolyte : For his safety... and ours. One of our young Amazon girls will escort him to his country, and then return to Paradise Island.

  Diana : But all the girls will want that task.

  Queen Hippolyte : I know. To forestall any ill feelings, I have planned a tournament of athletic games, by which I alone shall determine the strongest, nimblest, and most likely aspirant for the assignment.

  Diana : A tournament! That's a wonderful idea, Mother. I look forward to participating in the games myself.

  Queen Hippolyte : You? Never.

  Diana : But, Mother! I don't understand...

  Queen Hippolyte : [interrupting]  I cannot risk my only begotten child, our princess, on a mission in behalf of the life of a... a savage!

• Wonder Woman : [still barefoot, rushing up stairs to podium]  Mother!

  [remembers to be formal:] 

  Wonder Woman : Oh, Your Highness, Doctor...

  Queen Hippolyte : Where did you find the man, daughter?

  Wonder Woman : On the beach, near the cave. Will he be all right?

  Queen Hippolyte : Yes, in time. But will we be all right?

  Wonder Woman : We, Mother?

  Queen Hippolyte : The instant he returns to civilization the world will know about us. Our island. Then where will we be?

  Wonder Woman : But, surely, some men can be trusted?

  Queen Hippolyte : You're too young to remember... how... we women were slaves in Rome... and Greece. I promised myself it would never happen again. We found... this island... where we could live in harmony... peace, sisterhood...

  [to the Doctor:] 

  Queen Hippolyte : Be gone!

• [last lines] 

  Major Steve Trevor : You're very perceptive, Diana.

  Diana : I'm a woman. Where I was brought up, women were taught to respect honesty.

  Major Steve Trevor : Now, I like that. You know, we're gonna get along just fine.

  Diana : I'm sure we will.
