Read Every Line of Dialogue Rihanna Says in Battleship

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!â€), confused (“What the hell is that?â€), or surprisingly competent  (“Contact two miles outâ€). But enough of this. Let Rihanna speak for herself.
