Green Lantern quotes from Justice League

Hawkgirl

[to Copperhead (who's still clinging to her)] He'll live. You won't.

Copperhead

I'm not scared!

Green Lantern

Then maybe this'll help: you do anything to her, and you won't even make it to the ground.

Green Lantern

Good bluff.

Hawkgirl

Who was bluffing?

Green Lantern

Look, whatever he is, he's sure not in the same league as Grundy and the others. He's a nobody.

Batman

Ever read the Odyssey? After Odysseus was caught by the cyclops, he told it his name was "Nobody". So when he poked its eye out and its friends asked who did it, all the cyclops could say was "nobody".

Green Lantern

Point taken.

Flash

Hey, we can't just leave, what's to stop somebody else from taking control of that thing.

Green Lantern

That.

Katma Tui

So, do you still snore?

Green Lantern

I wouldn't know.

Katma Tui

Well, I'd like to stay and relive old times, but...it's the same drill as before.

Green Lantern

Duty calls.

Katma Tui

Duty calls.

Katma Tui

Then we start over. I trained you once, I can do it again.

Green Lantern

Back to basics? I don't think so.

Katma Tui

The problem with half the Corps, you included, is that once you learn to use your rings like jackhammers, you forget the subtleties of manipulation and control!

Green Lantern

I know, I know - "the mind is the weapon, not the metal."

Katma Tui

At least you remember that much. It's time to relearn what you've learned.

Green Lantern

Now you sound like Yoda.

Katma Tui

Look, you have two choices: let me help you retune your mental disciplines, or you can live with your emerald impotence.

Flash

Impotence? [John and Katma look at him] Right...I-I was just goin' over there...

Hawkgirl

Are you going to need all those power cells?

Green Lantern

If that's what it takes. I can still pull my weight, you know. There's more to me than just a fancy ring.

Hawkgirl

I've always known that, John.

Despero

[After binding Katma to the power of Py'tar] Now, who's next? [He goes over to Hawkgirl]

Green Lantern

Keep away from her!

Despero

The wings give her an exotic quality, wouldn't you agree? I don't think I'll put her in the army. I have just the place for her. As one of my personal attendants.

Green Lantern

Don't even think about it.

Lord Green Lantern

Punks.

Lord Hawkgirl

Remember when everyone liked us?

Lord Green Lantern

Since when does that matter to you?

Lord Hawkgirl

Since I started seeing the fear on everyone's face.

Lord Green Lantern

You wanna talk about fear? When I was a kid, I went to bed every night scared that the whole world was gonna blow up. That's the way things were back then, and folks just accepted it. They didn't think there could be a better way. Well, we found one.

Lord Hawkgirl

So, do you sleep better now?

Lord Green Lantern

You know I do.

Lex Luthor

[aiming a weapon] This would be so sweet. [hands it to Superman] But... a deal's a deal.

Green Lantern

What deal?

Superman

A full pardon in exchange for his help.

Lord Superman

Everything he does from now on is your fault!

Superman

It's a high price - but it's better than the alternative.

Role models? Look, I've seen showgirls with more modesty than this so-called "Wonder Woman".

Wonder Woman

I will not tolerate this!

Green Lantern

Princess, I don't like Godfrey anymore than you do, but in this country, the man's entitled to his opinion. However boneheaded it is.

Flash

Democracy in action. Hey, didn't the Greeks invent that?

Wonder Woman

And what's wrong with the way I dress?!

Flash

[carefully] Uh... you wanna take that?

Green Lantern

He torched the sewers.

Flash

[Grinning] I was wondering what that smell was.

Green Lantern

[possessed] You've lost, human.

Flash

Maybe you're right. Maybe it is hopeless. But like Granny Flash used to say: "Why curse the dark, when you can light up a 700,000 watt candle!"

Hawkgirl

[on audio] Lantern, is he...?

Green Lantern

He's in one piece. I think he's alright. [to an unconscious Flash] You hear me, buddy? You better be alright!

Hawkgirl

You don't care about me.

Green Lantern

What are you talking about? I'd give my life for you!

Hawkgirl

You don't know what you're saying.
