Did you think we were done with 
But that’s not what we’re here for. We’re here to read every line of dialogue Rihanna utters in Battleship. Because if you’re going to stuntcast a pop star, you’ll at least give them some memorable lines, right? Yeah, about that . . .
Rihanna’s film debut is a memorable one. The Barbadian singer is wet for much of Battleship, her Navy uniform is uncommonly flattering, and the majority of her dialogue is composed of exclamations. It’s a veritable master class in one-line utterances. Most of her lines fall into one of several categories: sassy (“Get up, princess!”), confused (“What the hell is that?”) or surprisingly competent (“Contact two miles out.”) [Vulture]
She had a total of 68 lines of dialogue, not quite enough to fill a novella (ella, ella, eh, eh, eh). Um, anyway, here are all 68 lines.
- “What’s wrong with you drama queen?
- “Get up princess! Come on!”
- “Typical”
- “Shut up. Shut up.”
- “Oh, this gon’ be sweet. He hates the man.”
- “You go mess with him and see what happens!”
- “Chicken!”
- “Kentucky Fried Chicken!”
- “You look like Colonel Sanders, actually.”
- “Yo Saunders, ever been in a department run by some kind of Donald Trump/Mike Tyson mutant combo?”
- “Nothing, sir.”
- “If you did, it was only in reference to the fact the you both project great physical intensity, sir.”
- “I got something sir, on my camera.”
- “I don’t know.”
- “Is this some kind of exercise?”
- “You ever seen anything like this?”
- “Weird, man.”
- “Real bad idea, Lieutenant.”
- “Lieutenant, get up.”
- “Lieutenant.”
- “Come on, you with me?”
- “Come on, squared away?”
- “What the hell is that?”
- “Ahhhhhhh!”
- “Ahhhhhhh!”
- “What happened?”
- “What?”
- “Who’s in charge?”
- “Fire control’s offline. I need three minutes.”
- “(Heavy sigh)”
- “My dad said they’d come. Said it my whole life. He said one day we’d find them, or they’d find us. Know what else he said? He said, I hope I ain’t around when that day comes.”
- “No sir!”
- “Nothing sir, nothing.”
- “Yo, hey!”
- “Come on, come on, come on.”
- “Mahalo, motherfu—”
- “What the hell is that?”
- “Sir.”
- “Roger, Echo 1-1.”
- “Box 24. Ready to fire.”
- “India 3-7, locked.”
- “Sir, we’re hot over here. We’re good to go, let’s light ‘em up.”
- “Tango 1-9, loaded.”
- “Whiskey 2-5.”
- “Negative, sir, it’s moving all over the place. I can’t get a line on it.”
- “Sucker’s really jumping around.”
- “40 minutes sir.”
- “Contact is seven minutes out and closing fast.”
- “Contact two miles out.”
- “Contact ETA 21 seconds.”
- “Boom.”
- “Yeah!”
- “Get up!”
- “Let’s go!”
- “Go, go, go!”
- “Yes, sir.”
- “Oh yes sir.”
- “Awesome.”
- “Sir, we’ll be in weapons range in 5 minutes.”
- “Aimed at target.”
- “Sir, that’s the wrong direction!”
- “Sir.”
- “Coordinates.”
- “Elevation.”
- “Come on, take the picture, Beast.”
- “Navy!”
- “Come on, Hopper!”
- “Look dapper!”
Powerful stuff.

It’s all about context, panda. These lines probably are very potent given the situation. Just think of the circumstances that led to her saying “Kentucky Fried Chicken!”
It’s positively pregnant with meaning!
A special blend of 11 herbs and stupid. And I think we know what the herb is.
I’m almost certain you’ve snuck in some fake one’s here, but sadly there’s no way we’ll ever know for sure.
So true
Come on, Robo. This actually makes me want to see it.
318 words / 68 lines = 4.67 words per line
Saddest stat though: however many millions of dollars she made for this movie… multiply that by 3,144 and that’s how much she made PER WORD… if she made 2 mil… $6,288 per word… try to sleep tonight
i just busted into tears. I knew someone would research this, and I knew it would be terrible. And it totally didn’t disappoint. All hail Robopanda.
I’d like to take credit, but Vulture did the legwork.
I am willing to put money that “heavy sigh” was her best line
After the first few lines, I was wondering if these weren’t actually Chris Brown quotes.
“I got something sir, on my camera.”
Brilliant.
When I saw the preview, all she said was “Boom”?! I about lost it.. lol
can anybody tell me the funny part of that ‘chicken, kentucky fried chicken’ thing???
i dont get it coz im not good in english
She was calling him a coward, by adding ‘kentucky fried’ onto it just amplified the meaning.
