Chapter 2 - Bathing
-Timeskip-
Healer:
Is it true you saved his life?
Diana:
Who told you that?
Healer:
He did.
-With you-
You:
Ah.. I didn't see you come in.
Diana:
Would you say you are a... ...a typical example of your sex?
You just stand there holding yourself trying to find a good answer.
You:
I am... ...above average.
Diana:
What's that?
You:
It's a... Oh... It's a watch.
Diana:
A watch?
You:
Yeah, it's a watch. Tells time. My father gave it to me. Went through hell 'n back with him. Now it's for me and, good thing it's still ticking..
Diana:
What for?
You:
Because it tells time. When to eat, sleep, wake up, work...
Diana:
You let this little thing tell you what to do?
You:
Yeah... Can I ask you some questions? Where are we?
Diana:
Themyscira.
You:
No, I got that before, but I mean.. Where are we? What is this place? Who are you people? Why does the water do that? How come you don't know what a watch is? How can you speak English so well?
Diana:
We speak hundreds of languages. We are the bridge to a greater understanding between all men.
You:
Right.
Diana:
You know, I didn't get a chance to say this... Thank you... ...for what you did on the beach.
You:
So... ...you are here to let me go?
You begin to put back on your clothes.
Diana:
I tried, but it's not up to me. I even asked them to send me with you.. Or anyone. In Amazon.. The Amazons.
You:
The Amazons?
Diana:
It is our sacred duty to defend the world. And I wish to go.. But my mother will not allow it.
You:
Well... I can't say I blame her. The way this war's going... ...I don't wanna let anyone I care about near.
Diana:
Then why do you want to go back?
You:
I don't think "want" is the word, right? I guess I gotta try. My father told me once he said... " If you see something wrong happening in the world... "... you can either do nothing, or you can do something." And I already tried nothing.
You finish putting on your clothes and turn around to see Diana in this outfit.
You:
Nice outfit.
Diana:
Oh. Thank you. Now.. I'll show you the way off the Island... ...and you'll take me to Ares. Deal.
-Timeskip: After Diana took the 'Godkiller' Sword and Shield-
Diana shows you a wooden boat that has the TARDIS on it.
You:
I am leaving on that? We could just take the TARDIS instead.
Diana:
We are.. Yeah, we're leaving in that? Do you not know how to sail?
You:
Of course I know how to sail. Why wouldn't I know how to sail? It's just... It's been a while.
-2 Hours later-
Diana:
How long until we reach the war?
You:
The war, which part? The Western Front in France is... ...400 miles long, from the Alps to the North Sea.
Diana:
Where the fighting is the most intense then. If you take me there, I'm sure I'll find Ares.
You:
Ares as in.. the God of War?
Diana:
The God of War is our responsibility. Only an Amazon can defeat him. With this. And once I do... ...the war will end.
You:
Look. I appreciate your spirit... ...but this war is... It's a great big mess. And there's not a whole lot you and I can do about that. I mean, we can get back to London and try to look for men who can.
Diana:
I'm the man who can! Once I find and destroy Ares... ...the German armies will be freed from his influence... ...they will good men again and the world will be better.
You:
Great.
Diana:
You will see. What are you doing?
You:
I thought maybe you wanna... ...get some sleep.
Diana:
What about you? Are you not sleeping? Does the average men not sleep?
You:
Yes, we sleep. We just don't sleep with a...
Diana:
You don't sleep with women?
You:
No, I mean, I do, I sleep with... I sleep with... Yes, I do.. But out of the... ...confines of marriage. Not polite to assume, you know? It's been a very long time since I've talked about this with a woman.
Diana gives you a weird look.
Diana:
"Marriage"? And how long?
You:
927 years. You don't have that... You go before a judge... ...and you swear to love, honor and cherish each other... ...Until death do you apart.
Diana:
And do they.. love each other till death?
You:
Not very often, no.
Diana:
Then why do they do it?
You:
I have no idea.
Diana:
So you cannot sleep with me unless I marry you.. I will sleep with you if you want.
You:
I'll sleep right there.
Diana:
There is plenty of room.
You:
Then fine, if you don't mind...
Diana:
No, it's up to you. I'm just fine.
You:
Coming to sleep with you.
Diana:
Okay.
You:
You know, where I come from, I'm not considered average. Have you never met a man before? What about your father?
Diana:
I have no father. My mother sculpted me from clay... ...and I was brought to life by Zeus.
You:
Well that's neat. Sorry. Where I come from.. ...babies are made differently.
Diana:
You refer to reproductive biology.
You:
Yes, yes.
Diana:
Yeah, I know. I know all about that.
You:
I mean I refer to that and other things.
Diana:
The pleasures of the flesh.
You;
Do you know about that?
Diana:
I've read all 12 volumes of Clio's criticism on earthly pleasures.
You:
All 12 huh? Did you bring any of those with you?
Diana:
You would not enjoy them.
You:
I don't know. Maybe.
Diana:
No you wouldn't.
You:
Why not?
Diana:
They came to the conclusion that man are essential for procreation... ...but when it comes to pleasure... ...Unnecessary.
You:
No....
Diana:
Goodnight.
