Steve Trevor is MY Hero (still.)


Diana :
[mouthing] 
Oh, my God. It’s you
I missed you.

Diana :
So What Do You Remember?

Steve Trevor's Ghost :
I remember… I remember 
taking the plane up…

Diana :
Mmm-hmm.

Steve Trevor's Ghost :
and thennothing, really. Nothing
But somehow, I know 
I’ve been someplace since then. 
Someplace that’s, uh… 
I can’t really put words to it. 
But it’s… It’s good

And then I, uh… 
I woke up here.

Diana :
Where?

Steve Trevor's Ghost :
I ended up in a bed. Uh… Strange, 
strange pillow bed with slats.

Diana :
A futon, yeah.

Steve Trevor's Ghost :
A futon? Yeah. Well, not comfortable
And really a bit backwards 
if I’m being really honest with you. 
I mean, for a futuristic time like this. 
Nineteen… Eighty-four. 1984.

[both sigh]

[Passenger-Jet airplane passing]

Steve Trevor's Ghost :
That’s amazing
[Steve chuckles in astonishment]

[Diana laughing joyously]

Steve Trevor's Ghost :
Would you like to 
see my futon?

[kicks]

[door closes]

[objects clattering]

[Diana gasps]

Steve Trevor's Ghost :
Yeah. Um… You don’t have to tell me. 
The Place is a mess. Cheese on demand. 
I spent all morning cleaning His Bedroom
but he seems to me to be An Engineer. 
Lots of pictures of himself. 
Not what I would do, 
but to each his own.

Diana :
Oh, so this is how you found me.

Steve Trevor's Ghost :
Yeah, The Phone Book. 
I guess some things 
are just future-proof.

Diana :
So you went to My Apartment?

Steve Trevor's Ghost :
Yeah, I tried to use the bike at first. 
(it's an exercise bike)
I couldn’t really figure out how to get it going, 
so I ran over and saw you come back. 

And I was stunned. There you were
So I just, uh… followed you, like a creep. 
Diana, look at you. It’s… 
It’s like not one day has passed.

Diana :
I can’t say the same thing about you.

Steve Trevor's Ghost :
[sighs] Right, right, right. 

Right. Yeah, he’s, uh… 
He’s got it. [laughing
No, I like him.

He’s great, but all I see is you.



[groaning]
[laughing]
[sighs]
[gasps]

Steve Trevor's Ghost :
Hi.

Diana :
Come here.

Steve Trevor's Ghost :
Good Morning.

[Diana hums happily]

Steve Trevor's Ghost :
Been eating Pop-Tarts all morning, 
and I’ve had about three pots of coffee. 
This Place is amazing. [laughing]

Diana :
'This Place'?

Steve Trevor's Ghost :
Yeah. You know, if I really think about it, 
I don’t think I’ve ever been 
in a room more amazing.

Diana :
It’s True.

Steve Trevor's Ghost :
Yeah.

Diana :
This Room is the most amazing place 
I’ve ever been in, in my entire life.

Steve Trevor's Ghost :
It’s the most amazing place, right?

Diana :
So let’s stay. We shouldn’t go.

Steve Trevor's Ghost :
I really don’t want to.

Diana :
So, let’s not.

Steve Trevor's Ghost :
Okay.

Diana :
Let’s just stay here.

Steve Trevor's Ghost :
Let’s just stay here.

Diana : 
Forever

Although
(nose wrinkles
I should probably go and figure out 
How a Stone brought My Boyfriend 
back from The Dead in 
Someone Else’s body.

[Steve breathing heavily]

[Diana humming]

Steve Trevor's Ghost :
....that’s a fair point. Let’s go.
