"Welcome to America, Lieutenant Wertz." "Good to see a fellow countryman... after six months of speaking to no one but these Yankees." "Landing anywhere would be welcome after five days in that submarine." "In the Air Force, we could have crossed the Atlantic 20 times." "You'll soon be in the air again." "Come." "They haven't even rolled her out yet." "It's just as well." "Don't worry, Lieutenant, everything is going according to schedule." "How can you be so confident?" "I'll tell you my secret:" "It's to know your adversary." "I know the American military mind." "If they schedule something to happen at 0700 hours... then that's exactly when it will happen." "Not a moment earlier, not a moment later." " Hi, Steve." " Peter, it's good to see you." "Peter, this is Yeoman Diana Prince." "Diana, this is Peter Knight." "He's the genius mainly responsible for what's happening here today." "You designed the XPJ-1?" "Not really." "A man in England designed the engine..." "I just built the plane to put it in." "Wait until you see it, Diana." "It is beautiful." "There it is." "It's amazing, isn't it?" "Yes, it's very impressive." "You see, there's no propeller." " How does it fly?" " Jet propulsion." "And it really flies?" "Like a bird." " Are you ready?" " I guess so." "You really are a genius." "I'll get my gear." "I knew you'd be surprised." "This is why I've been taking that secret training course." "Surprised?" "I am amazed!" " Are you sure it's safe?" " It's safe." "It's incredibly fast and maneuvers like a dream." "That's wonderful." "The enemy's working on one of their own... but they're eight months behind." "With an edge like that, we'll really have them." "I hope so." "I truly hope so." "You stay here by the car." "You'll be able to see everything." " Fine." " Bye." " Steve." " Yes?" "Good luck." "Are you sure that thing can fly?" "It flies." "And you can fly it?" "We have copies of their plans." "I've studied the controls so much I know them by heart." "Good." "Then let's put you behind them." "Ready to go?" "Thanks, Wonder Woman." "I'm sorry, Steve." " Where's Diana?" "I hope she's all right." " Don't worry about Diana." "I'll find her." "Thanks again." "I've got to get to the control tower." "Red Control, this is Red Leader." "Come in, Red Control." "This is Red Control, reading you loud and clear." "Red Control, this is Red Leader." "Code Z is in effect." "I repeat, Code Z is in effect." "Roger, Red Leader." "Code Z is in effect." "She should be well clear of land by now." "Red Leader, this is Red Control." "Code Z has been successfully completed." "Red Control, this is Red Leader." "Roger, very good." "We stopped them for now... but you better bet there's gonna be a next time." "You saw her, I suppose." "Wonder Woman?" "Not really." "When it all started I ran behind the hangar." "By the time I came back, she was gone." "Steve, it's really a shame that we couldn't have saved the XPJ-1." "That poor Peter Knight." "He was almost in tears over the loss of his airplane." "We had to keep Code Z a secret." "Nobody knew about it but General Blankenship and myself." "And now you." "If you were expecting something like this to happen... then you obviously have new plans for the XPJ-1." "We have." "General Blankenship's gonna tell us all about it this afternoon." "In the meantime, the Nazis will think the XPJ-1 is a failure... and they'll turn their attentions elsewhere." "You're a lucky man, Lieutenant Wertz." "Your plane explodes... and one of our submarines is able to pluck you from the sea." "Our mission was still not a failure." "At least we know now their experimental jet plane is no good." "I'd like to think so... but it's too simple, too straightforward." " I don't understand." " Nor do I, yet." "What about the others on your mission?" "Taken prisoner." "All except Captain Radl... who's obviously still somewhere in the United States." "Hi, Tom." "Nice day." "It's gonna be a hot one." "It sure is." "See you." "It's all right now." "I'll need clothes, money, a car, and papers." "But first, I must contact Berlin." "How about something to eat?" "You've got to be starved." "Later." "I must contact Berlin first." " I told you, I must make my report first!" " I heard you." "Make it fast." "The longer you transmit... the more chance the Americans will pick up the signal and get a fix." "That's it." "It's Berlin's problem now." "What is?" "You heard we lost the XPJ-1." "Yes, Berlin told me." "Well, the Americans have got a secret weapon... that makes the XPJ-1 pale into insignificance." "A weapon, if properly utilized... could finish this war in a matter of weeks." "Hemmschler." "General Ulrich!" "What an honor to have you..." "Enough, Hemmschler, enough." "This agent of yours, Captain Radl, how reliable is he?" "His record speaks for itself, General." "I'm not questioning whether he's brave or resourceful." "I'm here to find out if he's reliable." "This report of his you've sent me... can it be taken as accurate beyond a doubt?" "Beyond any shadow of a doubt." "Bullet deflecting metal... worn as bracelets by a woman?" "Sir, there have been other reports about this woman." "They appear on my desk from time to time." "Like you, I was under the impression they were the outcome of... shall we say... an excessive imagination on the part of battle-fatigued witnesses?" "I know Captain Radl... and he just would not exaggerate." "I'd stake my life on that." "You may well be doing so." "A superior, very strong woman." "If only we could learn the secret of her strength... and the bracelets she wears... the material from which they are made." "Imagine, Hemmschler... a panzer group with tanks that are impervious to Allied guns." "Submarines that cannot be sunk, aircraft that cannot be shot down..." "Very well, you have full authority." "Do whatever is necessary to find that woman... and locate that extraordinary material." "Spare no effort, Hemmschler." "We must find out what it is and where it comes from." "Let the games begin!" "Good!" "Your daughter grows stronger and more agile every day." "Yes, she grows more and more like her older sister." "Two against one." "And yet her team's evenly matched." "Magda, ask the Princess Drusilla to join us." "Yes, Your Highness." "Princess Dru, Her Majesty wants to see you." "You sent for me, Your Majesty?" "Not as the queen, as your mother." "Leave us, Dalma." "You excel in the games." "It pleases me." "Thank you, Mother." "I hear you're doing well in your studies." "Thank you." " Your instructors like you." " I like them." "Then why did you put the grass snake down Magda's back?" "You know poor Magda's deathly afraid of snakes." "But, Mother, you should have seen her." "She went four different shades of green." "We are not amused." "You would have been had you been there." "While I strongly disapprove, that's not the reason I sent for you." "Dalma told you about me nailing Magda's sandals to the floor." "No, she did not!" "We'll talk about that later, too." "Right now, I want to discuss something with you... that's best done by a member of our family." "Not another how-to-be-heir-to-the-throne lesson." "Diana's the heir, Mother, not me." "I'm very well aware of that." "But it's your older sister that I wish to talk to you about." "When I sent her away to America..." "I had no idea she would become such a legend... as Wonder Woman." "But now, I think it's time that she return and resume her duties." "Besides, I miss her." "I want my family around me." "That's why I want you to go to the United States... to Washington, D. C... and bring Diana back here to Paradise Island." "The new XPJ-1 engine arrives by ship from England tomorrow... where it'll be taken directly to the same facility." "It will be mounted in the second prototype airframe." "Peter Knight will have to be told." "He does all the work." "You take care of that, Steve." "I want you to prepare for another test flight in five days." "That soon?" "We fooled the Nazis temporarily." "For the moment, we have an advantage over them." "Let's keep it that way." "Yes, sir." "Will that be all?" "For the moment." "Thank you." "Diana, call Peter Knight." "Arrange for us to have dinner." " I've got some important news for him." " Yes, sir." "Make it someplace quiet so we can talk." "Well, how about my place?" "I'm really a terrific cook." " Are you sure it's not an imposition?" " Positive." "Would 7:00 be all right?" "7:00 is fine." "I don't suppose you could make it for four?" "Etta, I wish I could." "But you heard Steve." "He has important business to discuss with Peter Knight." "Business or social, I never get to go out to dinner." "I'll make you a promise." "I'll take you out to dinner sometime." "It's not the same, Diana." "I mean, you're not a man." "I've always been very happy about that." " Drusilla!" " Hi, Diana!" "You look beautiful." "What's this?" "It's really good." "It's ice cream." "What are you doing here?" "Mother sent me." "Mother sent you?" "You'd better come sit down and tell me what this is all about." "Very well." "Mother says to tell you that you've spent enough time in America." "You should come home to Paradise Island... and start assuming your role as heiress to the throne." "Mother doesn't understand." "If I don't stay here, there may not be a Paradise Island." "It will suffer with the rest of the free world." "Suffer how?" "What are you talking about?" "It's difficult to explain." "The Americans are fighting a war against a monstrous evil, the Nazis." "If the Nazis win, the whole world would be subjected to slavery." "I feel that by staying here..." "I can help in some small way towards preventing this catastrophe." "Do you understand?" "It's not me you have to convince." "It's Mother." "There's got to be a way." "Dru, if I can show you how important this is... will you explain it to Mother?" " Does that mean I can stay?" " Yes, but only for a few days." "Just long enough for me to show you the justice of the Americans' cause... as opposed to the evil of the Nazis." "What will I have to do?" "Look, listen, and understand." "Very well." "First, there are things that you must know about me... so that you don't give me away." "I have two different identities." "You're not just Wonder Woman?" "No, I'm also Diana Prince..." "Yeoman, United States Navy." "How do you like it?" "I don't much like it." "You look too dowdy." "Yes, it's a very necessary part of my plan." "It allows me to be in Military Intelligence... where I can know immediately where I'm most needed." "I guess it must help." "Yes, and it also enables me to stay close to Steve." "Major Trevor." "I work for him." " You work for a man?" " Yes." " He tells you what to do and you do it?" " Yes." "What are they like, Diana, men?" "They're like children, they're like gods... they're like geniuses, and fools." "They are all things." "Will I get to meet any?" "Yes." "As a matter of fact, tonight..." "Steve and a brilliant young engineer are coming here for dinner." " Can I have ice cream?" " Yes, you can have ice cream." "It's so good to see you, Drusilla." "My little sister." "Okay, we have to get you some clothes for now." "Tomorrow we'll go shopping... and we'll have you looking like a teenager in no time." "What's a teenager?" "A teenager is what they call a young person here in the United States." "While you're changing, tell me what's happening on Paradise Island." "How is Mother?" " Diana." " Yes?" "Would they really make slaves of everyone, these Nazis?" "Yes, if they're allowed to." "Then you're right." "We must help stop them." "You're so beautiful." " May I help you?" " Thank you." "This is quite a surprise." "I didn't even know you had a sister, Diana." " Welcome to Washington, Dru." " Thank you." "It's a surprise to me, too." "A pleasant one." "I have a date when I thought I was going to be stag tonight." "I shot one of those once with my crossbow." "You what?" "A stag." "It was a twelve-pointer." "Diana, you remember when we were..." "Honey, what he means is that... he's so pleased to have such a pretty girl for company tonight." " You are?" " Certainly." "Diana, I like men." " Do you really think I'm pretty?" " Very." "So are you." " Dru." " Well, he is." "I especially like the way his eyes crinkle up in the corner." "Peter, you understand what I was telling you on the way over?" "Yes, I'm still a little stunned by..." "That's good planning having another engine ready and hidden like that." "But just remember, we only have five days to get another XPJ-1 in the air... and perform the tests." "Can you do it?" "Yes, I think so." "When does the new engine arrive?" "Tomorrow." "Yes?" "Is that the voice of a good friend?" "It depends upon how good friendship is measured." "It is measured by the strength... of each one's resolve." "Welcome, Captain Radl." "Come in." "I'll be at the docks to supervise the unloading." "Then I'll accompany it to the airfield where the new airframe is waiting." "Good." "I'll contact Berlin immediately." "They'll be very pleased." "They'd written off the XPJ-1 entirely." "Which is what the Americans wanted." "It nearly worked." "It would have, if it had not been for you." "Now, on to other matters." "This mysterious woman and her bracelets." "This matter has priority even over the XPJ-1." "It's of incalculable importance." "I was at the airfield." "I saw her, remember?" " What can you tell me about her?" " Very little." "I've heard about her, though." "She's supposed to have the strength of an Amazon." "Perhaps it's the bracelets that interest us." "How can we flush her out?" "She's obviously connected with Military Intelligence." "Steve Trevor's group." "We should concentrate our efforts in that direction." " Who's in charge there?" " General Blankenship." "He works out of an office at the War Department." "I think we should make some plans for the General." "Drusilla, time to go." "Hi, cupcake." "Yeah, you." " Where have you been all my life?" " On Paradise Island." "Paradise Island?" "Wow, we've got us a fruitcake." "You have a remarkable number of red spots on your face." "Hey, you want a soda?" "A soda?" "All right, I'll spring for a banana split then." "I like bananas." "Do you think I could have some ice cream with that?" "You're neat." "You can't take her over there dressed like that." "What's the matter with the way I'm dressed?" "Now that's neat." "Coming, hotshot?" "Yeah, I guess." "Dru, I don't care, you shouldn't have left without telling me." "I was worried." "Now where can I meet you?" "We're due out at the War Department." "No, I'm not going anywhere dressed like this." "I wanna buy some clothes first." "I want a skirt and a big, baggy sweater." "All right." "I will pick you up and then we'll go shopping." "Okay?" "Neat." "Four copies will do it, Steve." "I'll need them in a hurry." "All right, sir." "I'm sorry we're late." "Dru had some shopping to do." "So this is the young lady, is it?" "Drusilla, I'd like for you to meet General Blankenship." "Of course, you've already met Major Trevor." "The General is the one who's arranged a security pass for you... while you're in Washington." " How do you do?" " Hello." "Diana, there are some reports we have to get out right away." " Excuse me." " Yes, sir." "Now, Dru..." "Don't worry about Drusilla." "I have to drive out to Fort Belvoir for a meeting." "So why doesn't she go with me?" "I'll show you George Washington's home at Mount Vernon." " It's just a short drive from here." " Gee, that sounds neat." "I'll take good care of her." "All right." "I understand that, but why is the Americans' cause just... and the Nazis' cause unjust?" "You ask strange questions for someone so young, my dear." "It's very important I understand if I'm to explain it to my mother." "I'm sure she already knows." "No, she doesn't." "That's why Diana asked me to explain it to her." "Why, that idiot!" "What do you think you're doing?" "Get in the car, General." "I got a gun on you." " What about the girl?" " Leave her." " She'll give the alarm." " That's what it's about." "To the rangers' station." "Quick!" "What would Diana do about something like this?" "No, I don't know the number." "I just need to speak with someone of some importance." "At the War Department." "I'd like to speak with the head of the War Department... if that's possible." "No, I don't know the number of the War Department." "Surely you can find it for me?" "Yes, ma'am." "I know that there's a war going on." "That's why I want the number of the War Department." "How rude!" " Trouble?" " Yes." " I'm dynamite around trouble." " Really?" "Try me." "I need to speak with the Military Intelligence in Washington." "General Blankenship's just been kidnapped." "Sure, and President Roosevelt's a Nazi spy." "I didn't know that." "Are you sure?" "Let's discuss it over a root beer." "We could listen to this great new disc I just got..." "New guy, knocking them dead." "Sinatra, Fred Sinatra, I think." "I'm sorry." "I really don't have time." "But if that Mr. Sinatra is really knocking people dead... something should be done about him right away." "You're a riot." "Cute, too." "Thank you." "If you can't help me, I suppose I'll have to deal with this myself." "Is there some kind of ranger station around here somewhere?" "Sure." "Couple of miles up the road." "Thank you." "You sure you don't want a root beer?" "Suit yourself." "Weird." "Now that we've got the General, the girl will raise the alarm." "She's probably done it already." "Then they'll send this Wonder Woman to rescue the General." "And that's what we will be ready for." "So get rid of your guns." "Get rid of the guns?" "They're no use against Wonder Woman." "She is bulletproof." "Come on, you're kidding." "Unfortunately, no." "So get yourself into hiding." "She might be here any time now." "Do it." "You do it." "Arms up." "Bend here." "There." "Now think." "They were right about you, lady." "You're something else." "What have you done with General Blankenship?" "Just used him to flush you out." "Come on, I've got no time for games." "I've got a lot of work to do." "I told you, I'm from Military Intelligence." "Sure." "And I'm General MacArthur." "Yes, sir." "A War Department staff car was found abandoned... about half a mile from here this afternoon." "Have you seen anything suspicious?" "Not a thing." "Whose car was it?" "It belonged to an Army general." " You're kidding me." " You do know something." "She said that General Blankenship had just been kidnapped." "I didn't believe her." "Like, who would?" "Who said?" " What did she look like?" " She was a cute little number." "She tried to phone the War Department." "Then she just took off." "Where did she go?" "Search me." "Wait a minute." "She did ask if there was a ranger station near here." " Is there?" " Sure, couple of miles up the road." "Thanks." "Let's go." "General, are you all right?" "Just feeling a little foolish." "There you are, sir." " What did they want with you?" " I don't know." "They didn't even try to get any information out of me." "Where's Drusilla?" "I'm sure she's all right." "They weren't interested in her." "The last I saw her, she was safe at the side of the road." "Where could she have gone?" "She's most surely back at the apartment, Diana." "Have you any idea what frightened them off?" "None." "There was some kind of fight." "I heard that." "After that, nothing, until you showed up." "The main thing is that you're safe." "Would you please take me back to my apartment?" "If Dru isn't there, perhaps she's left a note." "Of course." "Let's go." "Drusilla?" "War Department." "General Blankenship's office, please." "Extension 0277." "One moment, please." "Steve?" "This is Diana." "Dru's not here." " No message?" " No message." "Look, Diana, I know you're worried." "I'm worried, too." "But maybe she's just gone out somewhere." "You said yourself she was fascinated by life in Washington." "Thank you very much, Steve." "You're probably right." "I'll see you in the morning." "She's still out." "That chloroform worked just like you said it would." "Funny." "She looks younger than I remember... and I thought she was bigger." "It is her, isn't it?" "Yes, I'm sure of it." "There can't be two Wonder Women." "I'm going to contact Berlin." "It's just a short while before we find out the secret of those bracelets." "And there's no doubt?" "Not according to Captain Radl." "That is not good enough." "Before I commit troops to this venture..." "I want to have positive proof that Radl's prisoner... is indeed this Wonder Woman." "There's one sure way to find out." "This is Berlin's idea." "I should have thought of it myself." "You're going to shoot her." "What if you're wrong?" "Then we will know we have the wrong woman." "Unlock the door." "Remember she's very strong and quick." "I can handle it." "The door." "Who are you?" "Captain Radl at your service, fräulein." "You're a Nazi." "Yes, I am." "Where am I?" "What do you want with me?" "Come, fräulein." "What would you imagine we'd want of Wonder Woman?" "I'm..." "I don't know." "But whatever it is, you're not going to get it." "We'll see about that." "But first, we must find a way to make sure... that your powers are really that formidable." "You're very mistaken." "For your sake, I hope not."
