- Barry Allen: Wally's fast enough when he wants to be. We're suddenly out of ice cream.
- Mary West: Wally!
- Wally West: [With ice cream still in his mouth] Um, happy birthday.
- 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]
