Quotes[]
- Joe Atkinson: Of course, I'm going to need receipts for accounting from you, Steve.
- Steve Trevor: Have I ever failed accounting?

- Steve Trevor: It was a C!
....
- Hippolyta: In times of trouble I can only turn to Amazonian philosophy: "When you see the heart of darkness, you will begin to perceive the light".
....
- Diana Prince: Wherever you have human misery, you can find Manta's hand.
- Steve Trevor: I wonder how long he's been operating in the Triangle. You know, years ago my father crash landed somewhere around here.

- Steve Trevor: Yeah. If Manta was behind that, maybe I'll get a chance to even the score.
....
- Steve Trevor: Sergeant, why are you staring at my driver?
- Sergeant: It's just... he's got a funny build on him, sir.
- Steve Trevor: That happens to be the regimental karate champion. I wouldn't say that to his face.
