• Orm : People of Atlantis, hear me! My brother has come from the surface... to challenge me for the throne! Let us settle this in the ancient way: by bloodshed do the gods make known their will!

• Orm : The Trident doesn't change what you are! You're a half-breed bastard! Atlantis will never accept you as its king!

  Arthur Curry : Then by bloodshed, do the gods make known their will!

• [Arthur defeats Orm] 

  Orm : Finish it!

  Arthur Curry : Yield the throne.

  Orm : Mercy is not our way.

  Arthur Curry : Maybe you haven't noticed, brother...

  [lowers the trident] 

  Arthur Curry : ... but I'm not one of you.

  Orm : Do it!

  [tears off his helmet] 

  Orm : KILL ME!

  Queen Atlanna : NO! That is enough killing!

  Orm : ...Mother?

• King Nereus : Violence has always plagued the surface. They will destroy themselves.

  Orm : Not before destroying us first. We have been hiding long enough. The time has come for Atlantis to rise again.

• Orm : Down here, we have a legend about the Karathen, an ancient sea monster so powerful that even King Atlan himself couldn't contain it. So he imprisoned it in the depths of the ocean. In that abyss, the creature bides its time, waiting to rise again. Atlantis has been lying in wait, and now the beast has awakened.

  Arthur Curry : You know, there was a time when I wanted to meet you one day, get to know my little brother, let him know that he wasn't alone, and we could hang out together. If only I'd know what a dick you'd turn out to be.

  Orm : You were the reason our mother was executed. And I've hated you for it ever since. But I do not want to kill you, Arthur. I am going to give you one chance. Go home. Do not ever come back to Atlantis. You are not going to win this. A war is coming to the surface whether you like or not. And I am bringing the wrath of the Seven Seas with me.

  Arthur Curry : You know I can't let that happen.

  Orm : I know.

• [Orm and Arthur tap their tridents together, to begin their duel] 

  Orm : You wield our mother's trident. Powerful, but flawed. Like her. I wield my father's, and it has never known defeat!

• Orm : Vulko, my trusted vizier, you have stood by the throne since my father sat upon it. Have you any advice for me, as this war begins?

  Nuidis Vulko : I have already given it, my king. But I will stand by your decision, as always.

  Orm : My decision. To protect it... while you betray it? You think I do not know of your treachery, that you were ever loyal to my mother's bastard son, that you have spent years training him to take the throne from me. Do not deny it!

  [guards surround Vulko] 

  Nuidis Vulko : I do not.

  Orm : Why? I am pure of blood! I have dedicated my entire life to Atlantis! He wanted nothing to do with it! You swore to serve the throne!

  Nuidis Vulko : I do serve it! Arthur may only be half-Atlantean, but he's already twice the king you'll ever be!

  Orm : [to guards]  Take him. But make sure he gets a view.

• [Orm defeats Arthur] 

  Orm : I am the one true king!

• Nuidis Vulko : We invite you, King Nereus, to be the first to join King Orm's alliance!

  King Nereus : As if we had a choice, Vulko! By law, you need four of the Seven Kingdoms to ascend and attack. The Lost Nation and the Deserters have long perished. The Trench? Nothing but animals. The Brine will never join you, and the Fishermen are cowards - without me and my army to convince them, your plans are stillborn. But I know what you really want. Once you've obtained the friendship of four kingdoms, you will be renamed... Ocean Master.

  Orm : That is merely a title.

  King Nereus : I'm no fool, King Orm. As Ocean Master, you will be commander of the greatest military might on this planet!

  Orm : I am the natural choice to lead.

  King Nereus : Are you? What of the rumors that there is another? An Atlantean living amongst the surface? One of royal blood?... You may sit on the throne of Atlantis, but your claim to it is weak. How can you possibly hope to unite the empire?

  Orm : My mother's bastard has never even been to Atlantis! His loyalty is to the surf...

  [explosion] 

  Nuidis Vulko : Surface dwellers! TO ARMS!

• [Arthur is brought in chains to the royal court] 

  King Orm : Welcome to Atlantis, brother. I can't believe you're finally here. I've heard so many stories about you. All these years, I've been ashamed of our mother for defiling herself with a surface-dweller, ashamed of the fact that I have a half-breed brother whose heart I wanted to run my trident through. But now that you're finally here before me, I must admit... I'm conflicted.

• Orm : Today we unite our kingdoms. Tomorrow we scorch the surface! RISE, ATLANTIS!

• Orm : You will lead my finest commandos as your personal army to hunt down that half-breed abomination. I can't touch him, but you can. He's fled to your world. Kill him, and the woman he's with, and you will be rewarded.

  David Kane : Killing him IS my reward.

• [Atlanna reunites with Orm] 

  Orm : I don't understand... we thought you...

  Queen Atlanna : I know. Arthur saved me.

  Orm : You're with him?

  Queen Atlanna : I am. You're both my children, and I love you so much. But you have been misguided. Your father told you that there were two worlds. He was wrong. The land and the sea are one.

• Orm : The time has come for Atlantis to rise again.

• Orm : Join me or die!

  Brine King : And you expect me to address you as Your Highness?

  Orm : Not Highness. Call me... Ocean Master.

  Brine King : You can take my army, you soft-bellied slug, but you will never have my allegiance!

  Orm : So be it!

• Orm : That submarine was barely operational. But it served its purpose.

  David Kane : [seething]  One of your kind intervened.

  Orm : HE is not one of us.

• Orm : You were defeated the last time because your surface weapons failed you. Ours will not.
