Miguel Ferrer: Aquaman

Quotes 

• Lois Lane : [watching as the grunting Aquaman struggles to break his chains]  Aquaman, huh?

  Aquaman : Something wrong?

  Lois Lane : No, it's just that I always thought you were an urban legend.

  Aquaman : Nothing urban about me.

  Lois Lane : So, you gonna tell me what's going on?

  Aquaman : Some of your people...

  Lois Lane : *My* people?

  Aquaman : Surface-dwellers. They're about to cause the deaths of millions.

  [grimly determined] 

  Aquaman : I have to stop them.

  [Lois's eyes widen] 

• Aquaman : Tell the surface-dwellers to respect the sovereignty of my seas, or we'll return and finish what we've started.

  [submerging into the ocean with his forces] 

  Aquaman : We'll be watching.

• Aquaman : Are you all right?

  Lois Lane : Are you nuts? That was a great white!

  Aquaman : Yes. Lucky he was passing by. I've got ten more circling us right now.

  Lois Lane : Hope they're not hungry.

  Aquaman : Want me to ask them?

• Lois Lane : [escaping Lex's henchmen]  Neat trick back there. How did you...

  Aquaman : I communicate with the creatures of the sea telepathically. There's not much time. I need to get out to the blast site.

  Lois Lane : [seeing they're being pursued]  These guys have something else in mind.

  [crashing through a blocked-off section of road] 

  Lois Lane : We're running out of road.

  Aquaman : Keep going.

  Lois Lane : What?

  Aquaman : Trust me.

  Lois Lane : You can fly, right?

  Aquaman : Fly?

  Lois Lane : [they sail off a cliff and fall into the ocean]  "Trust me," he says.

• Aquaman : It's over, Luthor.

  Lex Luthor : Maybe... for now.

  Aquaman : No. Forever.

  [his forces emerge from the waters] 

  Aquaman : Warriors of Atlantis, prepare to fire!

• Aquaman : LexCorp has been testing explosives off the eastern seaboard. The explosions have caused extensive damage to my home, Atlantis.

  Lois Lane : Whoa. You mean Atlantis is real?

  Aquaman : Very real. And very angry. I was sent here to try to put a stop to the tests, but my peaceful overtures were met with violence and capture.

  Lois Lane : What happens if you don't make it back?

  Aquaman : War.

• Superman : You've got what you wanted. Now call off your troops.

  Aquaman : How do I know he or some other surface-dweller won't try this again? For too long, we've remained hidden and silent and have suffered the consequences. It's time to settle this once and for all by blasting them back to the Stone Age.

  Superman : I'll have to stop you.

  Aquaman : You'd side with them? They're polluting your sky just as they're poisoning my ocean.

  Superman : They're not all like Luthor. Some are working to solve the problems.

  Aquaman : Let's hope they succeed, for their sake.
