Wonder Woman Page #2

We are the Amazons.

We live simple lives,

and we wish to keep it that way.

There are a few questions

we'd like to ask you.

Sorry, ma'am, soldiers don't talk.

Hey, I'm into the kinky stuff too,

but if you think...

...that's gonna make me

more cooperative...

Identify yourself.

United States Air Force.

Colonel Steven Rockwell Trevor.

This lasso was designed to bypass

the untrustworthy nature of man.

You cannot resist its powers.

What interest does your government have

in our island?

My government is unaware

of the existence of your island.

I'm only here

because my plane was damaged.

I don't have to put up with this crap.

We are unfamiliar

with this particular idiom.

What does crap mean?

No, forget I even said it.

It's another word for excrement.

You happy now, lady?

What did he say?

Oh, my goodness.

- I can't believe this.

What did he say?

See, my child?

Is it not as I've always said?

Here the true nature of man

is laid bare.

What other depraved thoughts

must you be thinking?

God, your daughter's got a nice rack.

Shall I kill him now, my queen?

This pilot poses no threat to our people.

Therefore, it is our duty to see him

safely returned to the outside world.

I wanna be the one to take him back,

Mother.

Seconded.

You do not have the experience necessary

to lead such an expedition.

As in ancient times...

...a contest will determine our emissary

to the outside world.

Artemis, make the arrangements.

This is not fair, Mother.

I will always lack necessary experience

unless given the opportunity.

Diana, you may resent my decisions

but there are evils in this world...

...that I, as a mother,

am compelled to protect you against.

I am a woman now.

I no longer need your protection.

If the princess will not be participating

in the contest...

...perhaps she can join me on guard duty.

It appears you are going to be busy.

What?

Alexa,

are you covering Persephone's guard duty?

I am covering yours.

Now, go, the contest will begin shortly.

I appreciate the gesture...

...but you know that's the last place

my mother will allow me to show my face.

Then perhaps you should hide it

under a combat helmet.

You are my heart, sister.

Where is the princess?

Why does she not understand

her mother knows what is best for her?

The heart wants what the heart wants,

even that which is worst for it.

This contest will determine

the most capable among you...

...to be our emissary

to the outside world.

Fight with honor.

So the queen's kid, you know,

the hot chick?

Princess Diana.

Yeah, her. So, what's her deal?

Her deal is that

I will personally castrate you...

...if you come within five yards of her.

Perhaps the arrival of this man

will bring forth a new era for the Amazons.

And perhaps it will only bring

a return to darker times.

That is fear talking, sister.

There's a quote in which I find

the courage to face the unknown.

As a rock on the seashore,

he standeth firm.

"And the dashing of the waves

disturbeth him not."

In the instant...

Yes, I know the quote well.

It has aided me much in recent days.

Shall I finish it?

In the instant of danger,

the courage of his heart...

...sustaineth him and the steadiness

of his mind beareth him out.

Forgive me.

It's as you said.

The heart wants what the heart wants...

...even that which is worst for it.

A century's long courtship

finally culminated in a kiss.

I find my joy is only tempered

by the fact that Diana lives.

Still, our destruction has worked.

Come.

We have a tie which must be broken.

She who is left standing

after this final event...

...will be the victor.

Left standing?

You fought with honor and intelligence.

The gods go with you

with the gifts I'm about to bestow.

As is the custom...

...our emissary will don the colors

of the foreign nation...

...as a sign of respect and peace.

Amazon bracelets...

...formed from shards of Zeus' shield

by Hephaestus himself.

Finally, the Lasso of Truth...

...bequeathed to us

by the goddess Hestia...

...sent here by Eros

from Mount Olympus.

Now reveal yourself, warrior...

...so that we may fully honor you.

I have no doubt you will serve us well...

...my daughter.

Alexa's dead.

Ares has escaped.

My sister has failed in her duties

to the Amazons.

It is Persephone who has failed us.

It seems, daughter, your journey

will have a second purpose.

- I am ready, Mother.

- Then go now.

Follow the path of misery, of death

and destruction and you will find Ares.

May Gaea be with you, Diana.

All of Themyscira...

...all of the world depends on you.

- We should not have let her go.

- I don't see how we could've stopped her.

I could have shot her in the leg.

Not near an artery, of course.

You are the soul of thoughtfulness,

Artemis.

Welcome to New York, angel.

I think you're gonna like it.

MAN:

Hey, wait a minute.

What is going...? Look at that lady.

What is it...?

BO Y 1:
You can't catch me.

DIANA:
Children.

Steve, I've never seen children before.

I'm...

What's wrong, little one?

They won't let me play pirates

with them.

And why not?

Because I'm the girl,

and they need someone to save.

It's okay.

I don't even know how to sword fight.

Take that.

Neither do they.

In battle, they'd be slaughtered instantly.

Would you like me to teach you

how to sword fight?

They're using the horizontal cut,

but in close like they are...

...the thrust is a better move

as it's more likely to cause real injury...

...and less likely to be blocked

by your opponent.

- Do you understand?

- Uh-huh.

Now go. Unleash hell.

That was sweet. Teaching her

to disembowel her playmates like that.

Now we part ways, Steve Trevor.

I have work to do.

Hold on, maybe I can help.

My job allows me access

to sophisticated surveillance technology.

It might help your search.

I will see

what your technology has to offer.

What is she wearing?

- Wow.

First, let's get you into something

that won't get me arrested for solicitation.

Stevie.

Everyone said you were dead.

I even took a long lunch to buy

this cute little number for your funeral.

Now, when am I gonna get to wear it?

I hear General Cookmeyer's health

is failing.

Etta Candy, this is Diana.

She's part of the team that, uh, rescued me.

Pleasure.

I'm so glad you're here, Stevie.

Would you mind moving

this heavy table for little old me?

It's holding my favorite pen hostage.

I'm sorry, Etta Candy,

but what's wrong with you?

Excuse me?

You appear to be strong and in good health,

yet you can't move that table by yourself.

I was wondering

if there was something wrong with you.

Well, no one's complained yet.

Is this what you were looking for?

We have some work to do

on the computers.

I'll see you later, Etta.

Hmph.

Remarkable.

The advanced brainwashing...

...that has been perpetuated

upon the females of your culture.

Raised from birth to believe they're not

strong enough to compete with the boys.
