- Atrocitus: Shard is sacred ground... a piece of the remains of our world, which the Guardians attempted to erase from the history of the universe.
- Razer: This is YOUR fault! You Green Lanterns might enjoy destroying worlds, but I do not!
- Kilowog: In case you haven't been keeping up with current events, you guys put this thing here and pressed the button! You want to help? Stop fighting us!
- Razer: I won't listen to your lies! I'll destroy you both!
- Kilowog: And what, become a mass murderer by blowing up the planet? We know what you're fighting against, kid, but what are you fighting FOR?
- Razer: You won't win unless you can do what is necessary! Can you do it? CAN YOU?
- [Jordan constructs a drill]
- Razer: Finish it.
- [Jordan turns the drill into a fist and grabs Razer]
- Hal Jordan: You'd like that, wouldn't you?... You're not getting off that easy! You'll live with the consequences of what you've done!
- Razer: NO! You must kill me! I'm the one responsible for all this death and destruction! I deserve it!
- Hal Jordan: Which is why you're going to help make up for it!
- Razer: [flames on] Coward, are you too weak to take your vengeance?
- [Jordan removes Razer's ring, depowering him]
- Hal Jordan: Don't push it.
- [last lines]
- Kilowog: What's next?
- Hal Jordan: We look for the Red Lanterns.
- Kilowog: How do we find who knows how many super-powerful Red Lanterns, by just the two of us?
- Hal Jordan: That's a good question, Kilowog. I got another one: what do we do with the one we just captured?
- [both look at a cell containing Razer]
- Kilowog: [looks at Rev's home] This is some place. Kind of reminds me of where I came from...
- Shyir Rev: Bolovax Vik. I am sorry. Even here, we heard about its destruction.
- Hal Jordan: Your homeworld was destroyed? I, I never knew. How did...?
- Kilowog: Just concentrate on getting us out of this mess, hotshot!
- Zilius Zox: Soon your ring will be all that's left of you, Lantern!
- Hal Jordan: Settle down, you mental beach ball!
- Sayd: [listening to Hal's report] Red Lanterns? Are you sure?
- Appa Ali Apsa: He has concocted this ruse to save himself from a deserved punishment!
- Kilowog: Respectfully, sir, I got an aching jaw that says they ain't no ruse.
- Hal Jordan: Aya, please estimate time for repairs.
- Aya: Calculating. Ultrawarp ready in 9.2...
- Hal Jordan: 9 minutes, no problem.
- Aya: 9.21 months.
- Hal Jordan: ...Okay. Can we form a construct and replace the defective part for the ride home?
- Aya: The construct would have to be an exact copy of the ultra-warp coil mechanism and its 56 moving parts, to within a 0.8162 microns tolerance.
- Hal Jordan: [to Rev and Kilowog] Can either of you do that?
- Kilowog: I make hammers.
- Hal Jordan: So, was that your secret identity, engineer?
- Shyir Rev: Secret what?
- Kilowog: That's Hal's hangup. That thing on his face, it's a mask. He wears it in case some Earthling sneaks onto the Interceptor - while we're in space, mind you - and goes "Aha! The Green Lantern on my planet is Hal Jordan! I'm telling everyone!"
- [laughing with Rev and Biara]
- Kilowog: This guy.
- Hal Jordan: Ha ha. Talk to me when your planets invent paparazzi and the 24-hour news cycle.
- Kilowog: These guys are murderers! They're gonna blow up this rock no matter what you do!
- Hal Jordan: We do have a choice! We can fight them, and keep fighting until we can't fight anymore!
- Zilius Zox: Time's up! Shall I activate the timer?
- Atrocitus: No, Razer will do it.
- Razer: Atrocitus, our cause is just. But to harm the lives of innocents...
- Zilius Zox: Didn't I tell you, Master? He's weak! Weak!
- Atrocitus: The Guardians and their lapdogs destroyed my homeworld, and Zilius's AND countless others! By making an example of these disloyal few, we save millions later. Show weakness now, and you doom our people forever.
- Razer: I am not a coward. I am not afraid. For the greater good... and vengeance!
- [Razer activates the bomb]
- Atrocitus: I am Atrocitus, lord and master of the Red Lantern Corps. I am the one who will destroy the Guardians and all they stand for. I am wrath, I am hate, I am righteous vengeance!
- Kilowog: [about the Red Lanterns] Their power rings fire some sort of red energy tha...
- Sayd: They have RINGS? Powered by what?
- Hal Jordan: Best guess, a huge desire to mash us all into pulp.
- Kilowog: I hope everyone knows the sacrifice Shyir made.
- Biara Rev: They do. The elders are going to name our new planet after him.
- Hal Jordan: Your daddy was very brave, Amala. He saved us all.
- Amala Rev: Is it okay if I still miss him?
- Hal Jordan: Yeah. We all will.
- Razer: It seems one of my hunter-killer drones found the Green Lanterns.
- Zilius Zox: [watching the feed, they see the Interceptor destroy the drone] Your hunter-killer drone isn't much on the "killer" part, is it?
- Razer: The drone's attack was a feint. Its actual goal was to plant a tracker which will lead us to them.
- Atrocitus: And then we'll draw out these Guardian lapdogs and destroy them. Wherever they may hide.
- Shyir Rev: A probe like that means the Red Lanterns are more than two killers with rings and a symbol. They're organized.
- Hal Jordan: Yeah. Well, looks like we can't hog all the fun. Let's hit HQ and load up the boys like we planned. Aya, take us home.
- [the engines power up, then abruptly stop]
- Shyir Rev: Are we there yet?
- Kilowog: Aya, what happened?
- Aya: Overload due to hairline crack in the ultra-warp coil. Most likely caused by last missile hit by enemy probe.
- Hal Jordan: [Kilowog looks at him in anger] For the record, she said "most likely", not "totally likely."
- Shyir Rev: What does that mean?
- Hal Jordan: It means we're gonna be a little late to Oa. That's okay; I like to make an entrance.
- Appa Ali Apsa: Hal Jordan of Earth, soon to be former Green Lantern of Sector 2814. You are now charged with treason, grand theft, and...
- Hal Jordan: Let's postpone my lynching until I tell you a couple of things.
- [conjuring images of Razer and Zox with his ring]
- Hal Jordan: You see these handsome devils? They're the Lantern killers you said didn't exist. Call themselves Red Lanterns. Ring any bells?
- Atrocitus: You had three Green Lanterns in your grasp and let them escape? Perhaps you're not wholly committed to our righteous crusade.
- Zilius Zox: I live to serve the mighty Atrocitus. Your will is the core of my very being.
- Atrocitus: What good is that to me, Zilius Zox, if you're not competent to kill a mere three Green Lanterns?
- Zilius Zox: It was this child's fault! He's been promoted too quickly, and on false grounds! He pitied them! The destroyers of our system!
- Atrocitus: What do you have to say for yourself, Razer?
- Razer: Zox lies, but these Lanterns were different from those we eliminated before. Tougher. Better trained.
- Atrocitus: How could they know already?
- Razer: Who, my lord?
- Atrocitus: The Guardians of Oa! If they've sent reinforcements, then your failure may jeopardize my plans!
- Hal Jordan: [spots a Red Lantern probe ship following them] Aya, plot intercept course! It's go time!
- Appa Ali Apsa: Hal Jordan of Earth, do not terminate this communication! We are...
- Hal Jordan: Sorry, gotta take this. Don't be a stranger.
- [ends the transmission]
