Hal Jordan • Green Lantern
- [first lines]
- Hal Jordan: I'll tell you, Carol, it's quite a sight up here. All those stars, the blue water. Reminds me of that night in Cabo. Remember the restaurant?
- Carol Ferris: Hal, stay on the flight.
- Hal Jordan: A lot of sangria that night. Boy, could you put it away.
- Carol Ferris: Hal.
- Hal Jordan: I don't know how we ever made it back to the hotel...
- Hal Jordan: Come on! Get green!
- [Hits the fragment of the battery then yells in pain]
- Hal Jordan: Son of a...!
- Appa Ali Apsa: You must understand, earthling, the Green Lantern Corp is a privileged organization. Not just anyone can join. There are tremendous commitments. Each Lantern is responsible for patrolling one of 3600 sectors of the universe. But...
- Hal Jordan: Sort of like one cop per precinct.
- Appa Ali Apsa: Uh, yes. I suppose.
- Hal Jordan: My uncle was a cop.
- Appa Ali Apsa: Yes, fine...
- Hal Jordan: Thirty years on the Coast City police force. He used to let me turn on the siren. Nice guy.
- Appa Ali Apsa: But more than that, the Green Lantern ring is a complex tool. It takes someone with fierce concentration.
- Hal Jordan: I think I pretty much got the hang of it.
- Ranakar: [incredulous] He's got the hang of it.
- Appa Ali Apsa: Ranakar.
- Ranakar: Why are we even entertaining this? He's a human.
- Ganthet: Yes, hard to get past that.
- Appa Ali Apsa: I'm afraid the human race of Earth does not have the most stellar reputation.
- Ranakar: The fact is humans are crude, base, fearful and untrustworthy.
- Guardian: And then there's the smell.
- Kilowog: [Hal's been asked to lead the oath] What's the matter?
- Hal Jordan: I just learned the thing this morning.
- Appa Ali Apsa: Where are you going?
- Hal Jordan: I've gotta go punch a clock with my other boss.
- [as he's flying off]
- Hal Jordan: I can see where this is going to be a long commute.
- [Hal sees Abin Sur for the first time]
- Hal Jordan: My God!
- [runs to help him]
- Abin Sur: No... it's all right... my time has come.
- Hal Jordan: You speak English?
- Abin Sur: No... it's the ring.
- [Sur's ring floats off his hand]
- Abin Sur: It has chosen you. Take it...
- Ganthet: You can't condemn an entire species.
- Ranakar: You said it yourself, Ganthet. It's a wonder they've lasted this long. Maybe you'd like me to list their atrocities. Maybe our human can help us. Maybe he has a few of his own.
- Hal Jordan: Listen, buddy, I didn't ask for this ring. You want it back, because I've had just enough of this crap.
- Ranakar: Well, it appears we can add impertinence to their many qualities.
- Hal Jordan: What did the Guardian mean when he said the Energy-Rod might have been helpful?
- Boodikka: Kanjar Ro controlled it through his thoughts. Though it might contain some psionic information.
- Hal Jordan: Like where he put the yellow element?
- Kilowog: Ranakar doesn't know his butt from his poozer.
- [Kilowog saves a falling Jordan using a giant fan and a cushion]
- Hal Jordan: Clever!
- Kilowog: Hey, I got a few tricks of my own too.
