Batman: "You want my advice, get out of the betrayl business, Wonder Woman. You're a rotten liar."
Batman: "Now you propose we let the dinosaur flatten
Geneva because a prophecy told you to look the other way? Sorry,
Diana, but that sounds like coward's talk to me."
Wonder Woman: "This....is no dinasour, Batman. It's a
dragon. An ancient power. The bane of the world. And, as Hera is my
wittness, how dare you call me a coward."
Wonder Woman: "For what it's worth, I'm sorry to have to
do this. But there is no other way."
Batman: "There's always a way."
Batman: "I'm not letting you face that creature
alone."
Wonder Woman: "You have no choice."
Wonder Woman: "So this is how it ends. In deceit and ruin....and death."
