Quotes 

• Diana : Well, Lydia, this time, you've overstepped the bounds of even your ego. I demand an explanation for this cowardly withdrawal.

  Lydia : Actually, I'm not the person you should speaking to. I'm merely following orders.

  Philip : I was the one who issued the troop recall, Diana.

  Diana : Under whose authority, may I ask?

  Philip : The leader's. He's declared that all hostilities be immediately terminated.

  Lt. James : Why? When we're so close to victory?

  Philip : Apparently, lieutenant, the reports of your success have somehow become overly exaggerated.

  Diana : I can't imagine how.

  Lydia : Oh, I can.

  Philip : Regardless, the war is over. The leader himself is due to arrive here to take personal charge of the peace negotiations.

  Diana : Peace negotiations? You engineered this, didn't you? You're a traitor, just like your brother Martin.

  Philip : We both know that's a lie, Diana. Fortunately, the leader knows it as well. The truth is, Diana, the leader's lost confidence in you. Your voice will no longer be heard.

• Philip : I take it you know these people.

  Diana : Intimately.

  Lydia : Skilled fighters, all.

  Diana : Yes, it's almost a pity that we won't meet in combat again.

  Dr. Julie Parrish : Why Diana, I didn't know that you could feel pity. Maybe things are changing.

  Diana : I meant no disrespect. After all, if it weren't for the armistice, how else would I get the legendary Donovan in my grasp...
