[from trailer]  Mera : [about Orm]  We must stop him. Arthur Curry : And how do you propose we do that? Nuidis Vulko : [takes out a map showing a trident]  By retrieving this. Arthur Curry : I already got one of those. Nuidis Vulko : Not like this one, you don't.

[from trailer]  Arthur Curry : My parents made me what I am. I am the protector of the deep.

[from trailer]  Arthur Curry : [to Mera]  This is the exact spot where Vulko gave me my first swimming lesson.

Jarhead : You the Fish Boy from the TV? Arthur Curry : It's Fish MAN.

[Aquaman smashes into an enemy submarine]  Arthur Curry : Permission to come aboard.

Arthur Curry : [to Orm]  You call that an ass-whooping?

[Mera and Arthur find an Atlantean device in the desert]  Mera : [can't activate it]  Nothing. Arthur Curry : Of course it's not working. It's been sitting here gathering dust since before the Sahara was a desert! Mera : Before the Sahara was a desert... You do your best thinking when you're not thinking at all. Hold still. [extracts sweat from ARthur]  Mera : We need water. You're the closest source. [uses the water to get the device working]  Arthur Curry : Show-off. We could've just peed on it.

[Mera destroys the device]  Arthur Curry : WAIT! Shouldn't we have written it down? Mera : I memorized it. Didn't you? Arthur Curry : Uh, yeah. Mera : What did I say? Arthur Curry : Something something trident.

Mera : [introduces Arthur to Atlantis]  Welcome home. Arthur Curry : This is bad-ass!

Arthur Curry : I'm no leader. I'm not a king. Mera : Atlantis has always had a king. Now it needs something more. Arthur Curry : Well, what could be greater than a king? Mera : A hero.

Mera : Your half-brother, King Orm, is about to declare war upon the surface world. The only way to stop his war is for you to take your rightful place as King. Arthur Curry : Trust me, I am no king.

Orm : My brother has come from the surface... to challenge me for the throne! Arthur Curry : I call it an ass-whooping.

[Mera jumps from a plane into a desert]  Arthur Curry : Redheads, you gotta love them... [jumps after her] 

Arthur Curry : I'm no leader. I came because I have no choice. I came to save my home, and the people that I love.

Arthur Curry : My father was a lighthouse keeper. My mother was a queen. But life has a way of bringing people together. They made me what I am.
