- Aya: I am receiving an incoming transmission from Oa. Guardian Appa Ali Apsa.
- Hal Jordan: After what he did to Ganther, let it go to voice mail or something. I don't feel like talking to that backstabbing blue munchkin pain in the...
- Kilowog: Ahem, Jordan.
- Appa Ali Apsa: Yes, communication with you, 2814, is equally unpleasant. However, the Guardians have need of you.
- Hal Jordan: There's no one to fight. It's a friendly prison now, remember? Trust me.
- Kilowog: I hate it when you say that.
- Hal Jordan: Underconfidence has never been my weakness. But my ring doesn't work here, and Bumpy just beat the wall and ceiling with Kilowog, who taught me most of what I know about hand-to-hand.
- Byth Rok: I got you covered. Bumpy can't see out of his right eye. Approach from that side and grab on to his back, it'll slow him down.
- Hal Jordan: If you knew his weak spot, then why didn't you take him down?
- Byth Rok: Well, that's how I ended up here. He saw me coming, my wings are too large and beautiful. You're small and skinny, you have a better chance.
- Hal Jordan: This had better work!
- Byth Rok: Trust me.
- Hal Jordan: Well... strange being on the other side of that saying for a change...
- Kilowog: Hawkmen? I love Thanagarians. They're real soldiers... organized, disciplined, and very clean.
- Hal Jordan: Clean? I don't think they're even paper-trained!
- Kilowog: Jordan, you can't really believe this pirate is going to give us the code.
- Hal Jordan: Trust me. Hey, it DOES feel better when I say it!
