- Rita Repulsa: Gather 'round, fools. I have the perfect plan to conquer that pathetic little planet Earth.
- Squatt: Oh, good!
- Rita Repulsa: Yes, it's so devious, it's sinister, even for me.
- Tommy Oliver: Why am I here?
- Goldar: It's simple. If you serve Rita, you can keep your powers. If not, you'll lose them when the candle burns out.
- Tommy Oliver: What candle?
- Goldar: [unveiling it] The green candle. It's made of very special wax. When it burns out, Rita will have stolen your powers!
- Jason Lee Scott: I remember Rita's secret dimension. That's one bad place.
- Kimberly Hart: The important thing, Tommy, is that you're okay.
- Tommy Oliver: Am I? According to Rita, my power's gonna to be gone soon.
- Trini Kwan: She's just bluffing, Tommy. Trying to scare you. How would she be able to take away your power?
- Zordon: I'm afraid it is possible, Rangers.
- Tommy Oliver: Zordon, then you found out something about the green candle I told you about.
- Zordon: Yes. Rita has a special form of wax from the Gamma-Tri system. Once touched, it retains a person's body energy.
- Tommy Oliver: But I never touched anything.
- Zordon: You did when you worked for Rita.
- Kimberly Hart: No way! And she's been saving the wax all this time?
- Zordon: Yes. And now she has made a candle from the wax and cast a spell over it connecting the Green Ranger's power with its flame.
- Tommy Oliver: Then Rita wasn't bluffing. Once the candle burns out, I'm history. The Green Ranger's... finished.
