DIANA:

It's bitter.

STEVE:

(agrees)

It's an acquired taste.

Diana smiles and nods, the world of men is an acquired

taste.

STEVE:

It has hints of different flavors,

if you look for them.

Steve and Diana drink in unison. She nods, seems to like

it better.

(CONTINUED)

82 CONTINUED:

A young girl hands Diana a FLOWER. She's moved. So's

Steve.

STEVE:

You did this.

DIANA:

We did.

STEVE:

You have dancing on `Paradise'

Island?

DIANA:

Dance on Themyscira is more --

STEVE:

Interpretive?

DIANA:

Precisely.

(then)

Perhaps you'd better show me.

Diana puts the flower behind her ear then moves out on to

the dance floor.

STEVE:

Excuse me?

DIANA:

If I'm going to a gala, I'll need

to know how to --

STEVE:

You're not going to the gala.

DIANA:

Of course, I am. Why wouldn't I?

STEVE:

Because you don't know how to

dance, for one thing.

DIANA:

(re:
the other

dancers)

I would argue that they don't know

how to dance.

Steve finally smiles and moves out onto the floor to join

her. He takes her left hand and moves his arm around her

waist. It's the first time they've touched. Which

they're both keenly aware of.

(CONTINUED)

82 CONTINUED:

DIANA:

You're awfully close.

Their faces are very near to one another's, neither makes

a move to pull away.

STEVE:

That's kinda the point.

DIANA:

Ah. I see.

Diana moves a bit closer to Steve, smiles. The music

changes as a NEW PIANIST begins a beautiful melody,

breaking into song with an incredible TENOR VOICE.

Diana and Steve look towards the piano and see that it is

CHARLIE WHO IS PLAYING AND SINGING. Diana can't help but

be surprised once again by these men.

Sameer and The Chief join the people crowding around

Charlie, smiling, laughing, grateful.

As the emotional song continues, they sway for a beat,

holding each other and then a SINGLE SNOWFLAKE falls.

Diana looks up as more and more white ice falls from the

sky, sprinkling her hair. She holds out a palm, CATCHING

A FLAKE and sniffing it.

STEVE:

It's a snowfall.

DIANA:

It's magical.

Steve takes it in, seeing beauty where she does.

STEVE:

You're right.

Diana rests her head on Steve's shoulder. Steve can't

remember loving anything as much as this feeling.

DIANA:

Is this what people do when there

are no wars to fight?

STEVE:

This and other things.

DIANA:

What things?

(CONTINUED)

91.

82 CONTINUED:
(3) 82

STEVE:

I don't know. They... make

breakfast.

DIANA:

What else?

STEVE:

Read the newspaper. Go to work --

(carefully)

They... get married. Maybe have

babies, grow old together.

DIANA:

What is it like?

STEVE:

No idea.

But something in his eyes tells Diana he'd like to find

out. Diana thinks she might, too. Steve pulls her in

closer. She looks deep in his eyes.

DIANA:

Maybe... once I defeat Ares and

war ends forever... there will be

time to learn about... all kinds

of things.

The way Diana says it -- that look in her eyes -- for the

very first time in the film Steve finds himself believing

her story -- desperately wanting to believe it.

STEVE:

(wistful)

God, I hope you're right.

83 INT. INN (VELD) - BEDROOM - NIGHT 83

Steve lays Diana gently down on the bed, brushing her

hair from her neck and KISSING IT. Diana's eyes are wide

and shocked by the ELECTRICITY of those LIPS ON HER SKIN.

She looks up at him, runs her hands through his hair and

pulls him to her, mouth-to-mouth, the most perfect,

passionate FIRST KISS ever.

... Steve's TICKING WATCH on the nearby nightstand.

84 EXT. TOWN SQUARE (VELD) - DAWN 84

The morning sun looks brighter to Diana than normal. She

smiles, turns to see the team, Steve dressed in a GERMAN

UNIFORM. They're rounded up with HORSES.

(CONTINUED)

92.

84 CONTINUED:

SAMEER:

The villagers gave them to us.

THE CHIEF:

A gracious gift.

SAMEER:

They called us heroes.

DIANA:

You are.

Everyone looks at Diana. The way she says it, Sameer and

Chief believe it -- and it feels good. Sameer smiles at

Charlie -- who forces a smile back, struggling to agree.

STEVE:

(to team)

Guys, I'm fully aware that I said

this job was two days --

THE CHIEF:

You would get lost without us.
