Diana races past a MURAL in the public square of QUEEN

HIPPOLYTA, Diana's mother, triumphantly leading the

Amazons.

MNEMOSYNE:

Diana, come back!

A young AMAZON GUARD sees Diana coming, holds out her

hand, STOP! Diana sees up a narrow stairway, grins -- an

escape! She darts up it and back down another straight

into a DEAD END.

Looking for a way out, she sees a long jump she just

might make. There's a big fall, but Diana loves a

challenge! She smiles mischievously, runs and LEAPS --

-- but she's NOT GOING TO MAKE IT! Diana stretches out,

her face falling as she realizes she's missed the jump,

when --

A hand grabs her wrist!

7 EXT. OTHER BRIDGE (THEMYSCIRA) - CONTINUOUS ACTION 7

Dangling, Diana's pulled up to see: QUEEN HIPPOLYTA,

ethereally beautiful, holding Diana easily by one arm as

if Diana weighed nothing. She sits HORSEBACK, the

mounted QUEEN'S GUARD behind her.

Diana twists uneasily, smiling up at her mother.

YOUNG DIANA (8)

(breathless;

innocently)

Hello, Mother. How are you today?

HIPPOLYTA:

(sighs)

How many times, Diana?

YOUNG DIANA (8)

I haven't actually counted. Quite

a few?

HIPPOLYTA:

(smiles; nods)

Let's get you back to school

before another tutor quits.

YOUNG DIANA (8)

But, Mother... Don't you think

it's time to start my training?

HIPPOLYTA:

Training? You are training.

Hippolyta softens, she loves her daughter more than

anything, and PULLS DIANA into an embrace.

HIPPOLYTA:

Your mind is your most powerful

weapon.

(beat)

All battles begin here --

(taps Diana's head)

-- before they end here --

Hippolyta motions to the world around them. Diana

frowns.

Antiope RIDES to meet them, PHILIPPUS at her side.

Antiope catches Diana's hopeful eyes.
