Quotes
-
Hawkman : [about Hawkgirl's mace] You always were good with that thing.
Shayera Hol : Just hit him!
Hawkman : Right!
-
Shadow Thief : 8,000 years ago, two Thanagarian law officers found themselves stranded on a primitive planet. This planet. Katar and Chay-Ara Hol used their technology to make the desert bloom and build the greatest city on Earth. The people loved them, and despite their protests, worshipped them as gods. For decades their ever-growing empire was a utopia. But nothing lasts forever. At least, nothing good.
-
Hawkman : Shayera, you're all I've ever wanted.
Shadow Thief : But you'll never have her.
[indicating Green Lantern]
Shadow Thief : Not while he lives.
[raising his ax, Hawkman smashes Green Lantern's restraints]
Green Lantern : Had me worried there.
Shadow Thief : [John uses his ring to free Shayera] Weakling, must I do everything for you?
[wrapping himself around John's wrist]
Shadow Thief : My understanding is that this ring of yours requires concentration.
[he breaks John's wrist]
-
Shadow Thief : Blackest night beats brightest day.
Mari McCabe : John!
Shadow Thief : Last warning, zoo candy. This is between me and the Green Lantern and that Thanagarian harpy. Stay out of it.
-
Shadow Thief : Of course, you recognize the Absorbacron. Despite your best efforts to bury me alive, I managed to retrieve it.
Green Lantern : Where's Vixen?
Shadow Thief : Out of the way. She's not part of this.
Shayera Hol : That machine is Thanagarian technology. It's a telepathic database more complex than anything on Earth, and it's broken.
Hawkman : She might be right. When I touched it before, the feedback...
Shadow Thief : Hush now. Watch and learn.
-
Green Lantern : What do you want with Vixen?
Shadow Thief : Guess again.
[disappearing into a wall]
Shadow Thief : And don't bother shining a bright light on me. Hasn't worked in months.
-
Katar Hol : It can't be true.
Hath-Set : No, of course not. Bashari would never betray your friendship in such a manner. And the queen's trustworthiness is, of course, beyond reproach.
Katar Hol : Then why pester me with idle gossip?
Hath-Set : It's just that these ugly rumors undermine your authority. And I must admit... no, I speak out of turn.
Katar Hol : You speak when I command it, Hath-Set.
Hath-Set : They spend a great deal of time together. They give the appearance of impropriety.
Katar Hol : I trust Bashari with my life. And Shayera *is* my life. I'll hear no more of this nonsense, Hath-Set. Leave me. Now!
Hath-Set : [bowing] As you say, my liege.
-
Gentleman Ghost : Mind the ion drive. That's delicate equipment.
Green Lantern : Right, I took you lightly. I won't make that mistake again.
Gentleman Ghost : I think you might.
[shocking him with an electric current]
Gentleman Ghost : If I were to give you another chance, I mean.
Hawkman : [capturing him in a net] He's all yours, GL. The Nth metal in this net...
Green Lantern : Has properties that interfere with dimensional shifting. I know.
Gentleman Ghost : Next time, Green Lantern, I'll do you proper.
Green Lantern : Quiet down in there.
[with his ring, he bounces the net up and down a couple of times, knocking GG out]
Hawkman : I fought our Gentlemen Ghost before. These intangible types can be tricky.
Green Lantern : Uh-huh.
Hawkman : But he didn't stand a chance against the two of us.
Green Lantern : Look, Hawkman, I appreciate the help. Let's leave it at that.
-
Katar Hol : What troubles you, Chay-Ara?
Chay-Ara Hol : Why ask what you already know? I want to bear your child, Katar.
Katar Hol : I don't want to have this conversation again. Why the hurry? You're a young woman. There's plenty of time.
Chay-Ara Hol : 30 or 40 years at most. I'm not a girl anymore.
Katar Hol : You look the same as you did the day I met you. When my work is complete, after I've tamed this savage continent...
Chay-Ara Hol : You'll set out to conquer the rest of the world.
Katar Hol : It's my duty. We owe these people the peace and stability that comes from Thanangarian rule.
Chay-Ara Hol : I'm not arguing that. But you also have a duty to continue your bloodline. Or are you so tired of me that you don't even...
Katar Hol : I love you, Chay-Ara Hol. Nothing will ever change that. It's just that right now, I need to concentrate on...
Bashari : [riding in on a chariot to cheers] Hail, King Katar. Hail, Queen Chay-Ara.
Katar Hol : [flying down to him] Bashari. No need to stand on ceremony, my friend.
-
Katar Hol : What news do you bring?
Bashari : Victory! The land of Kahndaq has been freed from Ahk-ton's rule and placed under your benevolent protection. As tribute, Teth-Adam sends 100 of the finest stallions on Earth.
Chay-Ara Hol : My husband and I travel on the winds, General. What good are horses to us?
Bashari : I'll show you.
Chay-Ara Hol : [cut to them riding] I begin to see the worth of these beasts, Bashari.
Bashari : I thought you might, my lady, with the right company.
Chay-Ara Hol : [laughing] If you desire my company, you'll have to ride faster.
[urging her horse forward]
Chay-Ara Hol : Hyah!
-
Shayera Hol : You're Hath-Set. You're the one who poisoned us. I mean...
Shadow Thief : No, my Queen. I think Hawkman knows who I am. I'm your darkest thoughts, your unspeakable desires. I'm you, Katar Hol.
Hawkman : No.
Shadow Thief : When you first touched the Absorbacron, you freed me... to do everything you wanted. You wanted the secrets of Thanagarian technology, I found them for you. You wanted to be a hero, I became an arch-villain for you to vanquish. You want this woman...
[grabbing Shayera's head]
Shadow Thief : I give her to you.
[opening Carter's restraints and pointing at GL]
Shadow Thief : He's the only thing standing between you and a love that spans 8,000 years.
[giving Carter his ax]
Shadow Thief : End it, Katar Hol. Take what you want.
