Quotes 

• Katma Tui : It's time to relearn what you've learned.

  John Stewart : Now you sound like Yoda.

• Hawkgirl : [waiting for John outside his "training" room]  She's got a bit of an edge to her.

  Green Lantern : You're kidding, right?

  Hawkgirl : [pushes off the wall]  Just an observation.

  Green Lantern : It's like she thinks I'm still a raw recruit.

  Hawkgirl : [starts to walk away]  We tend to cling to images of people from when we knew them best,

  [looks over her shoulder at him] 

  Hawkgirl : forgetting that they do change.

  Green Lantern : [follows her]  OK. So, as someone who knows John Stewart in the here and now, how would you handle me?

  Hawkgirl : [stands in front of him]  As a friend and equal, I'd say get in there and try again.

  [waves her fist under his nose] 

  Hawkgirl : Or I'll knock you into next Tuesday.

  Green Lantern : Somehow I fail to see the difference in your approach.

  Hawkgirl : Oh there's a difference.

  [puts her hands on his shoulders and leans against his chest] 

  Hawkgirl : You just haven't figured it out yet.

  [puts her face right in front of his] 

  Hawkgirl : Now get back in there.

  [she turns him around, then slaps his butt] 

• The Flash : Hey, GL, did you miss me?

  Green Lantern : Like a toothache!

• Green Lantern : There's more to me than just a fancy ring.

  Hawkgirl : I've always known that about you, John.

• John Stewart : Don't just stand there! LIGHT 'EM UP!

• Hawkgirl : That Katma's quite a woman.

  Green Lantern : Yeah. A good teacher, too. But some things can't be taught. Some things you only get through experience.

  Hawkgirl : Like?

  Green Lantern : Clarity.

• Shifflet : It's a miracle.

  J'onn J'onzz : It's just the normal life force of your planet reasserting itself after centuries of entrapment.

  Hawkgirl : And you won't have to worry about Despero anymore.

  The Flash : Where is old Three Eyes?

  Green Lantern : He finally saw the light.

  The Flash : Well, okay, then. We've saved the day. Can we go home now?

  Katma Tui : There's still a lot that needs to be done to rebuild Kalanor. We could use your help.

  Green Lantern : [kissing her cheek]  Sorry, Kat. Duty calls.

• Green Lantern : I don't get it. Is the ring... broken?

  Katma Tui : Power rings don't break. But something else did.

  Green Lantern : You mean me? That's nuts.

  Katma Tui : The broken wills of over a million Kalanorn speaks to the contrary.

  Green Lantern : So Despero somehow got to me. He did something inside my head. That would explain this feeling, like a piece of me is missing. An important piece. But if that's gone...

  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.

• Green Lantern : Keep away from her!

  Despero : [admiring Hawkgirl]  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.

  [as Despero uses his powers on her, John manages to summon his power ring] 

  Green Lantern : Yeah!

  [blasting Despero and freeing Hawkgirl] 

  Green Lantern : Round two, freak.

• Katma Tui : Despero's created one of the most formidable forces I've ever seen. He's out to control the galaxy, and I think he can do it.

  Green Lantern : The galaxy is a big place, Kat. Despero doesn't have the manpower. He'd spread his forces way too thin.

  Katma Tui : Not if he pulls in new recruits from each world he conquers.

  Shifflet : Katma's right. Despero can subjugate a people using only his mind. His army will grow with each world he conquers.

  Green Lantern : All right, then. Enough talk. Let's mobilize the Corps. I doubt these amateurs can hold their own against a few thousand Green Lanterns.

  Katma Tui : Despero's got some kind of dampening field around this planet. Communications with Oa are impossible.

  Green Lantern : Then sit tight. I'll be back with the cavalry.

  Radocko : [an explosion is heard, and Despero's soldiers enter]  We are betrayed! And you led them here!

  Katma Tui : Sorry, honey. I'm too good for that.

  Green Lantern : [trying to use his ring]  What the...?

  Katma Tui : [conjuring a protective shield around him]  Stewart, what are you doing?

  Green Lantern : My ring. I can't get it to work.

• J'onn J'onzz : Kilowog, your rings and lantern batteries are all fed from a much larger power source, correct?

  Kilowog : That's right. The central power battery on Oa. Its energy is almost infinite.

  J'onn J'onzz : Despero is channeling a great of power himself. It stands to reason that he may have a similar energy supply and distribution system.

  Green Lantern : How about that flame of his?

  J'onn J'onzz : My thoughts exactly. Somehow, Despero draws power from it, then he channels it through his third eye.

  Hawkgirl : So if we take out the flame...

  Katma Tui : The Py'tar's comprised of pure nuclear plasma. You can't just blow it out like a candle.

  Kilowog : You can with a carbon bomb.

  The Flash : A what?

  J'onn J'onzz : Of course. Carbon can be used to arrest nuclear activity.

  Kilowog : And I can build one in a few hours.

  The Flash : Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Kilowog, the man of a thousand talents.

• Hawkgirl : John, are you okay?

  Green Lantern : I'll let you know when my head stops throbbing. Katma?

  Hawkgirl : She's still out cold.

  Despero : I'll admit I'm puzzled as to how you survived the Py'tar, but it's just as well. Killing you is a waste when I can make better use of your talents in my army.

  Green Lantern : We're not interested.

  Despero : It's not like you have a choice. I've just launched a second invasion wave. Soon, I will launch another. You three will be part of it.

  [his third eye activates, and he uses its power on Katma] 

  Despero : Prepare to embrace the power of the Py'tar.
