Movie: Green Lantern
Hal Jordan: I know that humans aren't as strong as other species, or the smartest. We're young, we have a lot to learn. But we're worth saving. [the Guardians don't answer]
Hal Jordan: This new weapon of yours, you can't use it. Once you've crossed that line, once you've given into fear, you'll never go back. I've seen it. Look, I know right now you're afraid.
First Guardian: You dare accuse the Guardians of feeling fear?
Hal Jordan: Yes, I do. And that's exactly why Parallax is beating you. Because you're afraid to even admit you're afraid! I know. I spent my entire life doing it. You know, we have a saying on earth. We say: I'm only human. We say it because we're vulnerable, we say it because we know we're afraid, but it doesn't mean we're weak. Help me save my planet. Don't give in to fear. Fight it. Fight it with me.
Female Guardian: Your words are compelling, young human. But as immortals, we must measure our actions over billions of years and the fate of the universe. We simply cannot risk losing everything on the chance you might be right.
Hal Jordan: Then don't. Don't risk anymore lives. Just mine. Let me go fight for my world, and I'll show you that will is stronger than fear.
Sinestro: There is no way that you could succeed. You will die, Hal Jordan.
Hal Jordan: Then I'll die trying.
Sinestro: Good luck, Green Lantern.

Green Lantern: How did you know it was me?
Carol Ferris: What do you mean? I've known you my whole life! I've seen you naked! You don't think I would recognize you because I can't see your cheekbones? What is this? Why is your skin green? Why are you glowing? What the hell is with that mask?
Green Lantern: It came with the outfit. Cool, huh?

Movie: Green Lantern
[last words]Abin Sur: The ring, it chose you. Take it... place the ring on the lantern... place the ring, speak the oath... great honor... responsibility.
Movie: Green Lantern
Hal Jordan: They said that the ring wouldn't have chosen me if it didn't see something. Something I don't see. Yet.
Carol Ferris: I see it. I always have. The ring didn't see that you were fearless. It saw that you had the ability to overcome fear. It saw that you're courageous. Which you are. Just like your dad.

Sinestro: [sparring with Hal Jordan]Fear is the enemy of will. Will is what makes you take action; fear is what stops you, and makes you weak... makes your constructs feeble.

Kilowog: Next lesson. [constructs a sun with his ring, Hal is pulled toward it]
Kilowog: Feel that? It's the gravitational pull of your average sun. Makes flying through space very dangerous. The bigger you are, the faster you burn. Gravity's a bitch.

Hal Jordan: Hey, Carol. Was gonna do a little flying today. What do you think?
Carol Ferris: I think you're late.
Hal Jordan: Yes, that's only because I slept in.
Carol Ferris: I used to sleep in. Then I turned 11. Let me give you a little heads-up. I've gone up against these Sabres all week and they have smoked me every time. There isn't anything you can do that they can't do better, faster and without disappointing woman everywhere.
Hal Jordan: I, uh, think we both know that's not true.
Carol Ferris: This is exactly why I didn't want you for this. My father did. I would've gone with Jensen.
Hal Jordan: I'd have gone with Jensen too. But unfortunately, he's busy not being good enough.
Carol Ferris: At least he shows up. Hal, this test today, it's important.
Hal Jordan: I got it. I'm gonna make you look good up there. Don't worry, okay? Now let's get these pants off and fly some planes.

Tomar-Re: Actually, my race is Xudarian. Our DNA does some what resemble your own ichthyological species. I am Tomar-Re, protector of Sector 2613 and home to...
Hal Jordan: 80,012 galaxies, 2.34 million sentient species. How do I know that?
Tomar-Re: The induction process. It activates the ring's higher functions, including a working knowledge base. In truth, we were curious. The process has never been attempted on a species as young as humans before. As you are the first to be chosen, I've been sent to welcome you here.
Hal Jordan: And here is? [Tomar-Re shows him an alien metropolis]
Tomar-Re: Welcome to Oa.

These immortals, the Guardians of the Universe, built a world from where they could watch over all of existence: the planet Oa. They divided the universe into 3600 sectors, a ring powered by the energy of will was sent to every sector of the universe to select a recruit. In order to be chosen by the ring, it is said that one must be without fear. Together, these 3600 recruits formed the intergalactic peacekeepers known as the Green Lantern Corps.

Hal Jordan: You know, I used to know this kid. Was a funny looking bastard. One day, he's standing on the mound, and he throws a perfect game.
Jason Jordan: That... that was me.
Hal Jordan: That was you? Thought you looked familiar. You were totally in the zone that day. Remember?
Jason Jordan: I still dream about it.
Hal Jordan: I bet. [grabs a baseball]
Hal Jordan: Take it. Close your eyes. Go on. Now, can you remember exactly how you felt that day? That's how I feel when I'm flying. Like that plane is a part of me. No, it's like, no matter how bad things get, there's something good out there just over the horizon.

Hal Jordan: Yeah.
Thomas Kalmaku: Hmm. That's the best you could come up with for your first big appearance, a racetrack?

Carol Ferris: Well, you're just gonna have to stop it.
Hal Jordan: Oh, just gonna have to stop it! Well, I tried that and I failed and the Senator died. I told you the ring made a mistake.
Carol Ferris: Wait, go back. How did the ring make a mistake?
Hal Jordan: The one thing that a Green Lantern is supposed to be is fearless. Fearless, is the job description. That isn't me.

But she could never see me, cause you were always in the way. But not anymore. [Hector uses his power to bring the syringe closer Carol's throat]
Hal Jordan: No! No! Don't! Don't do this, Hector! Please. Please. I know how you feel.
Hector Hammond: Come on! Look at yourself!

Hal Jordan: I know what it's like to be afraid. Let me help you.
