- J'onn J'onzz: Wonder Woman is on another case. Superman's dealing with an earthquake. And Batman would only say that he's busy.
- Hawkgirl: Typical.
- Chris McGee: [to Alan, seeing John transform into the Green Lantern] Awesome! Could he do that in high school?
- Prosecutor: State your name and profession.
- Kanjar-Ro: Kanjar-Ro. I'm... a pirate.
- Prosecutor: A criminal? Yet you come here to bear witness to another crime. Why?
- Kanjar-Ro: I may steal things, but it's nothing compared to what he did.
- [he points at John]
- Prosecutor: Tell us about your encounter with John Stewart.
- Kanjar-Ro: It all started with these blasters I... found. I was on my way to sell them to some rebels on Adjouris 4. That's when he showed up. I figured he was gonna try to stop me, so... I shot first. His ring tore out my engine. Ha! But he still wasn't done with me. He wanted to know if I was working with anyone. I told him to turn around, see for himself. He tried to shoot my friends, but his beam bounced off their deflector shield and shot toward Adjouris 4. There, it hit a volcanic fault line, starting a devastating chain reaction. 3 billion, that's how many were on that planet.
- Prosecutor: I have no more questions.
- Guardian of Oa: [watching John being led to his trial] What now?
- Guardian of Oa: With any luck, this matter won't require our attention.
- Guardian of Oa: And if it does?
- Guardian of Oa: I don't need to tell you how much we've gained because of the Corps' diversity, but sometimes, it forces us to make sacrifices.
- Green Lantern: What's next?
- Lead Manhunter: Your trial begins soon. If I'd been programmed with emotions, I'd almost feel sorry for you.
- Lead Manhunter: You are the Green Lantern known as John Stewart?
- Green Lantern: I am.
- Lead Manhunter: Your ring.
- Superman: [he turns the ring over] John.
- The Flash: What are you doing?
- Green Lantern: Stay out of this.
- Lead Manhunter: [John is handcuffed] You will come with us.
- J'onn J'onzz: What do you want here?
- Lead Manhunter: John Stewart, the Green Lantern.
- The Flash: What for?
- Lead Manhunter: That's not your concern.
- Hawkgirl: Wanna bet?
- [catching her arm as she swings her mace, the Manhunter easily throws her aside]
- The Flash: [running to catch her] Aren't you gonna thank me?
- Hawkgirl: Down, boy.
- Green Lantern: [after John is accused of genocide] Now I get it. You wanted to clear your name. That's why you didn't put up a fight back on Earth.
- Green Lantern: I told you to stay out of this.
- Hawkgirl: That scum's an obvious liar. Give me five minutes alone with him. I'll get the truth.
- Green Lantern: Hawkgirl, Flash, all of you, listen to me. Nobody's lying. Do you see that?
- [indicating an asteroid belt in space]
- Green Lantern: I did it. I'm guilty.
- Lead Manhunter: Show us an image of the accused.
- Prosecutor: He's a native of the planet Earth. The Green Lantern, known as John Stewart.
- Green Lantern: Galius. Arkkis, Kilowog, good to see yoou.
- Arkkis Chummuck: I wish I could say the same, Stewart.
- Galius Zed: You're a disgrace to the Corps.
