—Sub-Mariner Vol 1 36But you wouldn't believe it either! No one would!! Everyone thinks I'm to blame-- but I'll show'em! I'll show'em!! Leave me alone, now --- I've got to rest, and I need time to dream up another plan to teach the stupid surface-people a lesson --- one which won't hurt my own people this time!

—Daredevil Vol 1 7They recognize me! They flee in panic! Shall such as these rule over Earth instead of Namor??!

—Tales to Astonish Vol 1 71Something looming up ahead of me...like a mountain of seaweed or...no! By Neptune, it is a man-shape!! It is a gigantic Seaweed Man!
—Tales to Astonish Vol 1 72No longer can I stand! The mighty Sub-Mariner is helpless..! This cannot be the way it shall end! Not for this was I born a prince! And yet...The darkness is stealing over my brain...The shadows begin to engulf me...!

—Tales to Astonish Vol 1 76He who wears the crown is monarch of loneliness! There are those who would flatter, deceive, and betray him! But, there are those whose loyalty has been proved! Such a one is my Lady Dorma! And, there is yet another... Let Vashti the elder come forward..!
—Tales to Astonish Vol 1 77He was created immediately after the last holocaust... the tragic era when Atlantis was almost destroyed... When I myself almost lost my kingdom! The Behemoth is our guarantee that such a disaster will never occur again!

—Tales to Astonish Vol 1 87In the name of Father Neptune, now does Namor the First, Prince of Atlantis, Emperor of the Deep, Lord of the Seven Seas and Supreme Commander of the undersea legions, duly proclaim for all to witness... the victory is truly mine!

—Tales to Astonish Vol 1 95From the very moment when he did invade my silent domain, with his brutal lackeys, the Plunderer's hours of freedom have been numbered! This do I vow by the eternal city whose lord protector I be!
—Tales to Astonish Vol 1 96But I have seen enough! This much is forever etched into my mind-- that Atlantis was attacked from above! And, it was there on that antarctic continent-- that the humans had established a colony! Thus, there can be no doubt! The malevolence-- the greed-- the craven treachery of the air-breathers does ever stand before me like a taunting challenge! Again and again have I desired to declare war upon the hated surface-men--only to be dissuaded by the voices of Dorma mad Vashti! No more! From today, when he stood besides his mother's grave, let the heart of Namor be hardened! Imperius Rex!
—Tales to Astonish Vol 1 100Hear me, Hulk! I have come to the surface world to make you an offer! Since we are both powerful beyond description... and both outcasts... I propose we join forces!
—Iron Man and Sub-Mariner Vol 1 1Did you suppose that Namor the First, Prince of Atlantis was some mere human... to be long held at bay by naught save an illusion!?
—Sub-Mariner Vol 2 1Now I remember! So vivid were my memories... that they did seem like living things!
—Marvel Super-Heroes Vol 1 14You stay right there gorgeous ... or I'll break every bone in your body!
—Sub-Mariner Vol 2 8Another whom I did love? Aye, there was... once! But that was many years ago...
—Sub-Mariner Vol 2 11No matter that Namor bears no love for the air-breathers! They are still living creatures... deserving of more than a fiery end!
—Sub-Mariner Vol 2 12Namor knows but one cry to be uttered above the din of battle -- the resounding cry of -- victory!
—Sub-Mariner Vol 2 14Brief though life be... and though a needless death is a crime against the very universe... man is ever noblest when he lives by ideals! Without them, though he possess even the intellect of the Thinker himself... he is but a beast... reaching vainly for the stars...!
—Sub-Mariner Vol 2 16I must go myself to the swirling Sargasso! For I have vowed to find Tiger Shark, if he still lives! An, though no one has ever survived alone in that sea -- Tiger Shark is like no other!
—Sub-Mariner Vol 2 21It was another who first set in motion the wheel of misfortune... and it was he who saw his folly... and paid the price! Tonight, the death knell of Atlantis shall toll for... Lord Seth!!
—Sub-Mariner Vol 2 22...As long as memory endures... and man rules above or below the tossing seas... he will owe a debt to... Dr. Strange!!
—Sub-Mariner Vol 2 23And, for such a one--to live--Is to conquer!!
—Iron Man Vol 1 25For given cause, the Sub-Mariner strikes!
—Sub-Mariner Vol 2 25My crewmen-- even fair Dorma-- all greeted me with stony silence! They see what I also know-- that my loyalties are more divided than I suspected! I must act-- and act soon-- or become a monarch without a kingdom!
—Sub-Mariner Vol 2 26None must suspect that the Sub-Mariner walks among men... as a man!
—Sub-Mariner Vol 2 28Your people are a race of litterbugs, Diane...Scattering their venom recklessly on the face of a planet we all must share!
—Sub-Mariner Vol 2 30... Will mankind ever understand that Namor goes where he pleases?
—Sub-Mariner Vol 2 31I hope the lights of fair Atlantis are bright this day... very, very bright...!
—Sub-Mariner Vol 2 33...In short, Dorma, will you be no longer my Lady... and become instead, my Bride?
—Sub-Mariner Vol 2 34But there is still no other who rules in these benighted depths! No other born to cry-- Imperius Rex!
—Sub-Mariner Vol 2 35And so it ends, my lady-- an alliance of three titans, than might have altered the course of history! But perhaps we shall meet again one day-- perhaps--!
—Sub-Mariner Vol 2 38Thus, for these reasons... and others, best left unnamed... I do hereby RENOUNCE and ABDICATE the golden throne of Atlantis-- FOREVER!
—Sub-Mariner Vol 2 39Do they think they deal with one as brainless as the lumbering Hulk? They know they cannot drive me from this isle without totally destroying it-----and all they have built upon it.
—Sub-Mariner Vol 2 40I'll not pray for failure, Mutant. Namor prays for nothing.
—Sub-Mariner Vol 2 52Stare as death closely, Sunfire! Each of your "enemies" is a person... Even as you an I! You fight for "victory" and for "honor"! Yet is there "honor" in merciless murder or "victory" in the destruction of the entire Earth?
—Sub-Mariner Vol 2 56Is the curse of royalty never to leave me? I hear only echoes in reply-- echoes that will forever haunt me--
—Iron Man Vol 1 54You are in my domain Avenger--! Even the strongest steel cannot long withstand my power-- and my skill!
—Sub-Mariner Vol 2 58Aye, Vashti! 'Tis fitting that my road back to sovereignty of all Atlantis begin with the guardianship... of its newest citizen.
—Sub-Mariner Vol 2 60There is no glory in war -- only death.
—Sub-Mariner Vol 2 62Another race...living among our own...? I...do not know... if my people could accept that. I do not know.
—Sub-Mariner Vol 2 63And, too, I hope one day I can forgive myself-- for being so correct.
—Marvel Team-Up Vol 1 14At last, killer -- Namor shall drink his full measure of -- Vengeance!
—Avengers Vol 1 117Well, here I am-- And here is the Eye! The next move is yours, Avenger!
—Sub-Mariner Vol 2 68Child, you are wise beyond your years... and, at times, I think--beyond mine.
—Sub-Mariner Vol 2 69Your Force-field device... We need it to save my undersea kingdom --Atlantis.
—Defenders Vol 1 14Do not summon me again, Strange -- For if I come -- It will not be as an ally!
—Sub-Mariner Vol 2 71For Namor is no helpless victim... no fearful infant-- he is the prince of the blood... and non shall ever deny him that.
—Fantastic Four Vol 1 149Project Revival was a complete success old friend-- none of them suspected it was all an act on my part-- that I never intended to destroy New York or truly invade the surface world.
—Giant-Size Super-Villain Team-Up Vol 1 1(To Doctor Doom) Together we could rule the world which has rejected us both!
—Super-Villain Team-Up Vol 1 1Perhaps I chose an ally too hastily!
—Invaders Vol 1 1You Nazis have been on the winning side too long!
—Invaders Vol 1 4So, Meranno, we meet again, do we?
—Super-Villain Team-Up Vol 1 4Namor calls you coward, Doom.
—Super-Villain Team-Up Vol 1 7(To the Shroud) Oh, I see, you're insane...
—Daredevil Annual Vol 1 4If you will not fight with honor -- then expect no quarter from the Avenging Son!
—Super-Villain Team-Up Vol 1 13Atlantis has risen again! We are a whole people once more!
—Defenders Vol 1 52I came to seek out Reed Richards. But if you are indeed Defenders, then perhaps I may acquire aid from you. Atlantis is greatly imperiled!
—Defenders Vol 1 53Whoever is guilty of such callous disdain for the denizens of the deep shall suffer at the hands of the Sub-Mariner! THIS I SWEAR!
—Invaders Vol 1 25The Scarab seems almost -- Invincible!
—Invaders Vol 1 27By Proteus, that devil has given new meaning to our battle-cry.
—Invaders Vol 1 35It is time we paid back the Liberty Legion for the time they helped save us.
—Iron Man Vol 1 120...your fellow surface-men send a champion against me -- and a familiar one as well. They are fools...!
—Iron Man Vol 1 121You may have joined your fellow surface-men in attacking Hiram Dobbs, Iron Man, but you've e'er been a noble foe in the past. And you deserve a noble death!
—Marvel Two-In-One Vol 1 81Silence, human! I am Prince of the blood! Pity is for lesser mortals! Though I am part Atlantian and part-human, I have never truly felt at ease in either world! What could you know of such bitter rejection... of such utter loneliness?
—Prince Namor, the Sub-Mariner Vol 1 2It seems there is much I have yet to learn about my own kingdom.
—Prince Namor, the Sub-Mariner Vol 1 3If we all work together, perhaps future generations will look back on this day and say: "Here is where humankind -- came of age!"
—Avengers Vol 1 263So one mystery unlocks to show yet another. You've found us a Chinese puzzle!
—Alpha Flight Vol 1 40Are you insane, Alphan, to come between Prince Namor and his quest?
—Avengers Vol 1 291Metamorphosed beyond all imagining, the Leviathan is indeed my wife, Marrina! And with my life or death, I will defend her!
—Avengers Vol 1 292Woe to love that it should demand such a price. For surely I must now cut out my living heart!
—Saga of the Sub-Mariner Vol 1 1Namor was I born. "Avenging son." Spawn of two worlds... Yet fated to belong fully to none.
—Namor, the Sub-Mariner Vol 1 1No one may come near the person of the Sub-Mariner! The fates have decreed it so! Namor must be forever alone!
—Incredible Hulk Vol 1 371Return that Body to the home of Doctor Strange, and the Mind to the original owner... or I will be forced to resort to... fisticuffs.
—Namor, the Sub-Mariner Vol 1 22Great Neptune's Trident! Despite his great size, the man is agile as a dolphin pup!
—Namor, the Sub-Mariner Vol 1 27Get up. Leave. Save yourself. Should my wrath need vent again... I cannot prmise your meager life will be spared.
—Namor, the Sub-Mariner Vol 1 34Have I ever thanked you, Vashti. Have I ever told you how much I value your friendship?
—Captain America Vol 1 423What a consummate liar you are, Roosevelt.
—Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme Vol 1 64I have not being fighting one of the few men Namor calls a peer... in fact, this... Strange... is not even human!
—New Warriors Vol 1 57Your pink walls cannot stop me!
—Marvel Team-Up Vol 2 9So, Captain--it is all right to infiltrate my country and battle the forces of fascism......but it is wrong to fight the same evil in your own land? Then I will do it without you!
—Marvel Team-Up Vol 2 11Y-you're saying--my condition was psychosomatic all along?
—Marvel Universe Vol 1 2MAR-iner. Sub-MARINER! The British pronounce it properly -- Why can't you Americans?
—Thor Vol 2 4These waters are my province! NO ONE -- least of all you -- commands the Avenging Son!
—Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty Vol 1 4Don't call me "Water Rat", Matchstick.
—Defenders Vol 2 5To Hell with the Defenders!
—Defenders Vol 2 6Here we are Doctor Strange trying to reason with an imbecile!
—Defenders Vol 2 12Do not think to dictate to me, Sorcerer.
—The Order Vol 1 3...Perhaps I am not the Namor you knew. Perhaps I am the menace now, the threat to all you hold dear. But if so, I do not care. And I will tell you this: Get out of my way -- or I'll leave you broken and bleeding in my wake.
—Captain America Vol 4 12I know you see me on your monitors. You are trespassing on sacred ground.
—4 Vol 1 30As they have been since our..."project" with Banner began. Compounded by the face that Stark's paranoia has begun to seem...less paranoid.
—New Avengers: Illuminati Vol 2 3You are not a god! You are not an immortal! You are the royal subject of a king, and your king demands that you stop this madness now!! ALL OF IT! You will stop this, you will leave this universe and you will not come back!
—Sub-Mariner Vol 3 1No one should ever question where my allegiance lies.
—New Avengers: Illuminati Vol 2 4Why would you sleep with a woman who looks like Doctor Doom?
—Sub-Mariner Vol 3 6The entire Atlantean civilization will be a massive sleeper cell, waiting to awaken once more.
—The Order Vol 2 7I refuse to recognize Tony Stark's authority. I am in YOUR custody until a more proper authority presents itself. Let's say Susan Richards and the Fantastic Four, but I'm flexible.
—Sub-Mariner Comics 70th Anniversary Special Vol 1 1I was mistaken when I said it made no difference on which side I fought. You have convinced me otherwise -- with your mad ranting of a 'master race' and 'subhumans.' Earlier tonight, I weakened -- and let this U-boat live to fight again. I will not make that mistake a second time!
—Dark Reign: The List - X-Men Vol 1 1That thing... That was once my wife. And if I was willing to do that to her... Just imagine what I'm going to do to you.
—Uncanny X-Men Vol 1 527Oh please. How much longer will you pretend to care about Scott Summers? You are the woman so brash as to name herself queen. You deserve a king. A leader of men. Not a boy playing at being soldier.
—Namor: The First Mutant Vol 1 1Vampire squid. Should have seen that coming.
—Iron Man: Legacy Vol 1 6Are you listening to yourselves? Tony Stark is the most irritating lung-man I have ever met. But he is, in his own way, as regal as either of the true princes of blood with you here today. And you would insult him by offering him charity? If Stark cannot defeat his inner demons, what good is he against alien invasions and super-powered megalomaniacs? What good will he be to we who have sworn to defend this Earth? If Tony Stark succeeds in pulling himself out of the gutter, he will be stronger than ever before. And if he fails...He was not worthy to sit among us in the first place. Either way, this road of trials that faces him now...He must walk down alone.
—Namor: The First Mutant Vol 1 2Ready your warriors, Jian. Outfit them with as much weaponry as they can carry. In four hours' time...we hunt the Aqueos.
—Invaders Now! Vol 1 2We cannot help them. They have to die.
—Namor: The First Mutant Vol 1 3Logomancer-- our people are in danger of extinction, and this New Atlantis we're building...it means a great deal to me. It may be my last chance at redemption. This is my city. And I won't let it be destroyed by creatures that died long before we were born. ... You didn't hear that. The 'redemption' part.
—Hulk Vol 2 27Lowly beast! Your allies made this happen! It was your help that let them get so close to ending the world! Launched from my domain! I've upheld my word to Rogers, the threat is over. Now you will face the judgment of the deep!
—Fantastic Four Vol 1 585While you slept, the world changed, old king. And it changed for the better.
—Namor: The First Mutant Vol 1 4Unlike my predecessors, Loa, I can no longer neglect matters beyond the walls of Atlantis. The era of emperors is gone. It's time to make something new. I have a kingdom to build, battles to fight. And a life I intend to live to the fullest. But like you, I will first pause to consider what has happened today. All that I have learned...and all that's been lost.
—Namor: The First Mutant Vol 1 8I learned something, down in Hell. My destiny is not written in stone, and as long as I remember that I have allies...I will prevail against Krang. I will always prevail.
—Defenders: From the Marvel Vault Vol 1 1Lucky. We were indeed lucky, this night. And Ramona Fischer -- wherever you are, whoever you are -- I have felt the depth of your young man's regard for you. I do not know whether you will reciprocate, once you know of it. But I hope that you will treasure it. For tonight...it was enough to save a world.
—Fear Itself: The Deep Vol 1 2Hammers? When I fought Attuma...when he razed New Atlantis...he wielded a hammer. I have never seen anything so... It was an ungodly weapon.
—Fear Itself: The Fearless Vol 1 4The sea should boil with the righteous fury of Namor the Sub-Mariner. I should be angry. But I'm not. I was warned that someone would be coming for the hammers. I expected my one-time ally, Valkyrie. I hoped to talk some sense into her. Instead, I find you -- the one who unleashed hell on all the world...the one who brought destruction to my kingdom. So I'm not angry. I'm glad. I'm glad it's you.
—Uncanny X-Men Vol 2 11This is a species of 200 declaring war on the United States of America. I admire Scott Summers. I would have his woman, of course. But that's a compliment, in its own way.
—New Avengers Vol 2 29Of course, Captain... We're brothers.
—New Avengers Vol 3 12What we used to call life has very little worth these days. Welcome to the very edge.
—All-New Invaders Vol 1 5What I was going to say is these times... The three of us together--four, I suppose, with the Winter Soldier... I hope there are more of them.
—New Avengers Vol 3 19I am tired of waiting for the inevitable. If I must become this thing, then let it be at a time of my own choosing.
—New Avengers Vol 3 22Haven't you been paying attention, Reed? We are all monsters now. We've just been waiting for the right circumstances to reveal ourselves.
—New Avengers Vol 3 23Everything dies. You. Me. Everyone on this planet. Our sun. Our galaxy, and, eventually, the universe itself. This is simply how things are. It's inevitable... and I accept it. What I will not tolerate -- what I find unacceptable -- is going quietly, like some mewling child, before my time. There is something out there, coming for us, trying to kill us all -- and I would do to it what it would do to us. Brothers. Sisters. All the angels have fallen, and we devils are all that remains... so I ask you... will you help me kill worlds?
—All-New Invaders Vol 1 11All I know is that I'm aware of something now that looking back I wish I'd seen at the time. When we were the Invaders of World War II, I was the team's might and Steve, the strategist and natural leader, was its brain. You were the heart, Jim.
—Avengers World Vol 1 21Let it be known, I take full responsibility for everything I've unleashed. I do not regret my actions, but I understand the weight of them. But I fear I'm... losing control. The Cabal are rapid dogs, and I can no longer hold their leash. I'm ready to do what we must... I'm ready to finish this.
—Squadron Supreme Vol 4 13Did you just kick my severed head?
—Squadron Supreme Vol 4 14Have to what? Do what? Because if my friend is truly dead, you'll follow him. At my hand! I Namor, the Sub-Mariner. Arisen!
—Jean Grey Vol 1 3Ha! Haha hahaha haha! And perhaps the Phoenix has forgotten all about you. Out of sight, out of mind, yes? Perhaps all the monsters have given up and gone away -- so that the two of us can live happily ever after. Perhaps all is truly well. But I think we both know better. I think we both can agree -- that once a monster has your scent -- the beast will never stop coming. Until at least one of you is dead in the water.
—Avengers Vol 8 9This holy war has just begun. And we will not misstep as we have in the past. No more armies hitting the beach. No more invasions. Let the air-breathers have their mounds of dirt and blackened skies. We fight for the seas, and those who called them home. The surface world has their Avengers. Now we have the Defenders of the Deep.
—Namor: The Best Defense Vol 1 1The surface has developed creatures and men with great power! They will attempt to destroy not only Atlantis, but Vodan as well! I will not allow it! We can't allow it!
—Defenders: The Best Defense Vol 1 1Another exciting non-team-up for the Defenders. Let's all have shawarma sometime.
—Invaders Vol 3 2You are a kind man, Steve Rogers, and I say this as a friend... war has no place for kindness... especially among humans.
—Invaders Vol 3 6I will make a world where this cannot happen again. I will make a better world.
—Invaders Vol 3 8I know how this sounds. Like I'm a puppet. But... I'm a puppet to my own mind, to an unconscious savior. I may not have solely come up with this plan to save the world, but I know, deep in my heart... it's a good plan. It will save the world... I need you to understand this.
—Invaders Vol 3 12And N-Namor... Namor the f-first... King of Atlantis... Lord of all the S-Seven Seas... takes commands... from no one!
—Tarot Vol 1 1You destroyed them! You were green...
—King in Black: Namor Vol 1 1And so it was set. I remember the pride I felt. And the certainty-- the absolute certainty... this was going to be amazing! It was all so long ago. And now-- now-- I do not like to think of what will come next.
—King in Black: Namor Vol 1 5They were never to be freed. And now they are free.
—Avengers Vol 8 53As King of Atlantis, Namor always forbade the abuse of children. But I am not a king anymore. And you are not a child. You are Thanos. What I do now... I do for the good of all men.
—Avengers Unlimited Infinity Comic Vol 1 19King of Wakanda, you are very far from home.
—Black Panther Vol 8 13Rise, T'Challa, and know on this matter -- with you, and against all others... Atlantis fights at your side.
—Avengers Unlimited Infinity Comic Vol 1 41Good work. No lives shall be lost today.
—Ev Carley (Earth-616)Those robots - they can't be men! Why, they're mechanical - and so ponderous - yet they're shaped like men, and certainly they're not fish - I wonder ... One of them had some kind of fire-weapon - I'd better get out of here!
—Namor McKenzie (Earth-616)In the name of Father Neptune, now does Namor the First, Prince of Atlantis, Emperor of the Deep, Lord of the Seven Seas and Supreme Commander of the undersea legions, duly proclaim for all to witness--the victory is truly mine! Let no man deny that Namor is--and ever shall be--Prince of the Blood! IMPERIUS REX!
—Cabal (Namor) (Earth-616)Everything dies. You. Me. Everyone on this planet. Our sun. Our galaxy. And, eventually, the universe itself. This is simply how things are. It's inevitable...and I accept it. What I will not tolerate--what I find unacceptable--is going quietly, like some mewling child, before my time. There is something out there, coming for us, trying to kill us all--and I would do to it what it would do to us. Brothers. Sisters. All the angels have fallen, and we devils are all that remains...so I ask you...will you help me kill worlds?
—Defenders of the Deep (Earth-616)This holy war has just begun. And we will not misstep as we have in the past. No more armies hitting the beach. No more invasions. Let the air-breathers have their mounds of dirt and blackened skies. We fight for the seas, and those who called them home. The surface world has their Avengers. Now we have the Defenders of the Deep.
—Cape Anna LighthouseThis must be Cape Anna Lighthouse, Dorma - it gives me an idea - we can start our crusade right here - you see, if we demolish this light, it will endanger many ships, and perhaps destroy them! - It will be our first move!
—Dell View HospitalStand quietly everyone, or I shall kill you all!
We may go our separate ways again... with nothing to bind us!
Nothing... but the invisible bonds of shared peril!
Yet, those, may well be the strongest chains of all!
Is there no honor among your people?
Honor is for the living! We had to find someone like you to examine -- or die!
Whole world's going nuts. Hey, Namor, I saw headline said you were dead.
Ah, but the public has read of your demise, too. Not only that, but i seem to recall Doctor Strange's funeral. All of us, men who are alive when, by rights, we should be dead. Do you know what that makes us?
Sure, the challengers of the unknown.
No. Three very proficient liars.
It was I who brought you to your present state. And it is I who shall soon usher you across the final threshold... into Death's dark domain.
Spare me your posturing, Rand.
This diorama cost my foundation nearly ten thousand dollars, Richards.
Consider it the start of my tab, Namor.
The Defenders! How...?
While we were in New Atlantis, I took the liberty of conjuring a more...aggressive version of Belial's Beckoning. I put the call out to Defenders, Secret Defenders, even those who were only Defenders for a Day... Pretty much everyone. And I didn't take 'no' for an answer.
How do you do it, Namor? How do you bury the part of you that was good and noble so deep that all that remains is this? Some shell of the man you used to be.
Look at them, T'Challa-- flying off to save the unsaveable. The good and noble, warring against the inevitable. Is that us? Is that what you think we are? You might have been right at one time. Maybe I was that man once. Maybe you were as well. But then we both lost our people, and our kingdoms crumbled. Even now, while we do what we must to keep the things we love alive, we become everything they hate. Do you know what you bury deep, my friend? Things that have died. Who is this Namor, the good and noble? No man I know.
"It matters." The way you people talk about your lives-- Like they mean something... "It matters." I am the greatest man I know... But compared to this, I'm nothing. Just as you... are nothing. Am I the only man here with the courage of his convictions... Or am I the only one with conviction at all?
Namor... Don't... It's not worth it.
These lines you won't cross... These things you won't do... They shame you. How dare any of you put yourself--your damned morals--above the lives of every living thing? The truth is, you people aren't worth that... And neither am I. Our lives are a pittance. A petty, small nothing...
Namor! NOOOO!
Of course this is worth it. Now watch... As I do what you could not.
I hate Nazis.
Yes, I hate practically everyone... But I especially despise these animals.
The surface world has an infinite supply of conflict and strife.
