Quotes 

• Garth : [Checking the Science Building during the attack]  You have a plan?

  [Realizes Kaldur's not beside him] 

  Garth : Kaldur?

  Kaldur'ahm : [Two of Manta's men appear. Then Kaldur appears and knocks them out]  I too have my studies.

• Prince Orm : Then it is all a diversion. But with the King away, I must protect the Queen... and the heir.

  Queen Mera : I need no protection. Go!

  Prince Orm : No, Mera. If you suffered any injury, my brother would never forgive me.

  Kaldur'ahm : The Prince is right, my Queen. This battle is mine!

  [Kaldur starts to swim off] 

  Garth : And mine.

  Kaldur'ahm : [Kaldur stops and turns to face Garth]  *Your* place is with Tula!

• Aqualad : I am sorry you had to intervene. I know the team performed poorly.

  Batman : The team performed adequately. The problem was *you*. You're their leader, and your head wasn't in the game.

  Aqualad : No, you are...

  [sighs] 

  Aqualad : Correct. Of late, I am not even convinced I belong on the surface world. For so many years, it filled my every thought. But now that I am here, my dreams are all of Atlantis.

  Batman : Atlantis or someone you left behind? You can split your time between the surface and the sea. But not your mind. Either you're here 100% or you need to walk away. Make a, decision, Kaldur, and make it soon.

• Tula : You look well, Kaldur.

  Garth : Yes, surface life agrees with you.

  Kaldur'ahm : You speak as if I have been gone for years. But it has only been...

  Tula , Garth : Two months!

• Kaldur'ahm : [to Tula]  I am considering rejoining you at the Conservatory.

  Mera : You realize - you left your studies - some time ago. Your sorcery skills have not kept pace. You will no longer be in Tula's class, or Garth's.

  Kaldur'ahm : [Looking at Tula]  Perhaps I will need a tutor.

• Tula , Kaldur'ahm : There is something I must -

  [Both laugh] 

  Tula : I...

  Kaldur'ahm : Please, Tula. I have made a decision - to stay in Atlantis - with you - because of you.

  Tula : Kaldur, I'm sorry. We wanted to tell you sooner. But Garth and I - we're together.

• Tula : Kaldur - I - we - that is...

  Kaldur'ahm : I wish you both, nothing but the best.

  [Starts to enter the portal] 

  Kaldur'ahm : Have you ever wondered what would have happened if I had stayed behind and you had become Aqualad?

  Garth : No. Never.

  Kaldur'ahm : Neither have I.

• Black Manta : [to Kaldur]  Such a waste. You really have no ambition beyond serving Aquaman? Aren't schools of others willing to die for their king? This fool, for example.

  [Black Manta attack Garth]
