Aquaman

Descent into Atlantis' Lost History

Mera One of the tribes of Atlantis broke off and settled here when this region was still an inland sea. When the water dried up, they perished along with it.

Arthur Perished? Yeah, that's terrific.

Mera We're getting close now.

Arthur Oh, yeah? Close to what? Dying of thirst?

Mera Close to getting punched in the face!

Arthur Look, ], I know you're new to how things work up here. Why don't you look around? We are lost. You see that over there? Hey, what is that? Nada. This place is a wasteland.

[[w:Fight Club|Fight Club]

Mera You're the one who calls this wasteland a home.

Arthur This isn't my home! It's not like the whole surface looks like this!

Mera Oh, no, of course not. You've also got disgusting cities whose sewers empty out into our ocean and whole mountains made out of trash. And, oh, you've got great factories that do nothing but belch out filth and melt ice caps.

Arthur Okay. Point taken. Listen. Yeah, we got some idiots running the show, but we've got some good things too, all right? We got green forests and big mountains beautiful lakes. You'd love em. They're like little baby oceans.

Mera Are you trying to provoke me?

Arthur I'm just saying you cannot judge a place before you've even seen it.

Mera You've judged Atlantis on far less.

Arthur No. Would you just stop it with that? No. Your stupid Atlantean GPS just told you to jump out of an airplane over the middle of the desert, and now we are stranded.

[''Runs to Mera holding up tracker''; ''Slaps it out of her hand''; ''Falls through sinkhole'']

Mera If you're the next true king, we're doomed.

[''Jumps in after him'']

Arthur That was awesome. Oh. Look what I found.

Mera What you found?

Arthur Yeah. Check this place out. This is badass!

Mera This is the Hall of Armory. Where the legends say Atlan's trident was forged.

Arthur I don't think they're legends anymore.

Mera Vulko was right. It's real. Huh. Noting.

[''Walks up to hologram player and plugs in a cylinder'']

Arthur Of course it's not working. It's been sitting here collecting dust since before the Sahara was a desert. Man!

Mera Since before the Sahara was a desert.

Arthur Thank you for repeating what I just said.

Mera It's completely dried out. Let's just say you do your best thinking when you're not thinking at all. All right, now hold still.

Arthur Hey. What are you doing?

Mera We need water, and you're the closest source. Now, hold still.

Arthur Hmm. Show-off. I could have just peed on it.

Mera King Atlan.

King Atlan In this trident resides the power of Atlantis. In the wrong hands, it would bring destruction. But in the hands of the true heir, it would unite all our kingdoms above and below. If you seek my power, you must prove your worth. Journey beyond the edge of the world to the Hidden Sea. Look inside the bottle for the charted path. Only in the hands of the true king can he truly see.

Mera Hmm. We can't let Orm find this.

Arthur Hey! Wait!

Mera What?

Arthur Shouldn't we have written it down first?

Mera I memorized it. Didn't you?

Arthur Oh, yeah. Totally.

Mera What'd he just say?

Arthur Something something trident.

Mera Look inside the bottle for the charted path.

Arthur It's our next stop.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

Unexpected Introductions in The Hobbit

Dwalin Dwalin, at your service.

[bows]

Bilbo Uh, Bilbo...Baggins. At yours. Do we know each other?

[Dwalin walks in]

Dwalin No. Which way, laddie? Is it down here?

Bilbo Is what down where?

Dwalin Supper. He said there'd be food and lots of it.

Bilbo He said? Who said?

Dwalin Very good, this. Any more?

Bilbo What? Oh, uh, yes, yes. Help yourself. It's just that, um, I wasn't expecting company.

[finds a jar of seed-cakes; pauses as Dwalin eats away]

Dwalin That'll be the door.

Balin Balin, At your service.

[smiles and bows]

Bilbo Good evening.

[blankly]

Balin Yes, it is. Though I think it might rain later. Am I late?

Bilbo Late for what?

Balin OH! Evening, brother!

[catches Dwalin trying to get more scones out of another jar]

Dwalin Ho ho, by my beard! You are shorter and wider than last we met.

[sets down the jar and smiles]

Balin Wider, not shorter. Sharp enough for both of us.

Bilbo Excuse me? Sorry, I hate to interrupt, but the thing is I'm not entirely sure you're in the right house. It's not that I don't like visitors. I-I like visitors as much as the next hobbit, but I do like to know them before they come visiting. The thing is...uh...the thing is, I don't know either of you, not in the slightest. I don't mean to be blunt, but I had to speak my mind. I'm sorry.

Balin Apology accepted.

[suddenly noticing that Bilbo was talking; smiles, to Bilbo's growing confusion]

Fíli Fíli.

Kíli And Kíli.

Fíli and Kíli At your service.

[bowing]

Kíli You must be Mr. Boggins!

Bilbo Nope! You can't come in; you've come to the wrong house.

[tries to shut the door]

Kíli What? Has it been cancelled?

[pushes it open with his foot; deflated]

Fíli No one told us.

Bilbo Ca-? No, nothing's been cancelled.

Kíli That's a relief!

[smiles]

Fíli Careful with these. I just had em sharpened.

[tosses Bilbo their blades]

Kíli It's nice, this place. You do it yourself?

Bilbo Well, no, it's been in the family for years- That's my mother's glory box! Could you please not do that?

[sees Kíli rubbing his shoes on the furniture]

Dwalin Fíli, Kíli, come on. Give us a hand.

Kíli Mr. Dwalin.

[smiling at the sight of Dwalin]

Balin Let's shove this in the hallway. Otherwise, we'll never get everyone in.

[about the table]

Bilbo He - "Everyone"? How many more are there? Oh no. No, no. There's nobody home! Go away and bother somebody else! There's far too many dwarves in my dining room as it is! I-I-If this is some...clot-head's idea of a joke... ...I can only say. It is in very poor taste! Gandalf.

[surprised; doorbell rings again, Bilbo is getting rather cross as he heads for the door.; louder, tossing the knives to the floor; chuckles sarcastically; opens the door and eight dwarves (Dori, Nori, Ori, Óin, Glóin, Bifur, Bofur, and Bombur) fall down on top of each other. Gandalf stands behind looking at Bilbo; with an irritated look on his face]
