Wonder Woman: You wanted to see me, Mother?
Queen Hippolyte: You may leave his care to others.
Wonder Woman: Thank you, but I would prefer to stay on until I'm certain that he's well.

Wonder Woman: Am I allowed to ask why?
Queen Hippolyte: You are very intelligent.
Wonder Woman: I am your daughter.
Queen Hippolyte: There are so many things you don't know. Do you have any idea of your age?
Wonder Woman: By what standard?
Queen Hippolyte: By the earth's clock.
Wonder Woman: No.
Queen Hippolyte: You are immortal, as are all of us on Paradise Island. If you should ever leave here, you could revert to a human being.
Wonder Woman: Why are you telling me this now, Mother?
Queen Hippolyte: Because I sense what might happen between you and that man. We are stronger, wiser and more advanced than all those people in their jungles out there. Our civilization is perfection!
Wonder Woman: No! There's something missing, Mother. When I look at Steve Trevor, I feel things. Things I've never known before.
Queen Hippolyte: There are some things that are better not known. Young Amazon minds are best occupied with athletic discipline, higher learning.
Queen Hippolyte: We now know why he was in the area. That man must be returned to his own country.
Wonder Woman: But why, Mother?
Queen Hippolyte: For his safety - and ours. One of our young Amazon girls will escort him to his country, and then return to Paradise Island.
Wonder Woman: But all the girls will want that task.
Queen Hippolyte: I know. To forestall any ill feelings, I have planned a tournament of athletic games, by which I alone will determine the strongest, nimblest, and most likely candidate for the assignment.
Wonder Woman: A tournament! That's a wonderful idea, Mother. I look forward to participating in the games myself.
Queen Hippolyte: You? Never!
Wonder Woman: But, Mother!
Queen Hippolyte: I cannot risk my only begotten child, our princess, on a mission in behalf of the life of a savage!
