Green Lantern: First Flight Quotes

Appa Ali Apsa Where are you going?

Hal Jordan I've gotta go punch a clock with my other boss. I can see where this is going to be a long commute.

Kilowog The poozer's not even trained.

Sinestro Someone's been practicing. And without a manual.

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...

Kilowog What's the matter?

Hal Jordan I just learned the thing this morning.

Hal Jordan Clever!

Kilowog Hey, I got a few tricks of my own too.

Kilowog Excuse me, poozer.

Hal Jordan My God!

Abin Sur No... it's all right... my time has come.

Hal Jordan You speak English?

Abin Sur No... it's the ring. It has chosen you. Take it...

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 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.

Abin Sur You are now a... Green Lantern... One of the protectors of the universe... The Guardians... will send for you... Use... the ring... wisely.

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.

Sinestro Let me tell you, friend. The only way to operate out here is by fear. They hit, I hit harder. They attack, I annihilate. I am the one constant, unassailable force against their chaos and you made them forget that. You think I enjoy this? Look at the universe the Guardians have created. We have the greatest power in the cosmos and what have they made us? Garbage collectors! We pick up the trash. A thief here, a killer there. Scum, dirt, filth! There's no end to it, but there could be. It's my dream that one day all of this rot will be wiped away. A new order will prevail, one that will end the chaos but it won't be built by the faint of heart. You got soft on me back there, Earth boy, and that I will not tolerate.

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 So what now?

Sinestro Now, I own your ass.
