本片段劇情：哈爾將戒指放在燈前，念了自己編的“誓言”，突然間，燈發出刺眼的綠光并用不可思議的力量控制住了哈爾，引導他念完了誓詞。這時，綠光和魔力一起消失了。哈爾還沒緩過神來，就聽到一陣敲門聲……

影片對白：

Hal: Okay, all right. Place the ring, then speak the oath. The oath. Because everybody knows the oath. Used to sing it in camp. I, Hal Jordan...do solemnly swear...to pledge allegiance...to a lantern...that I got from a dying purple alien...in a swamp.

**************************

Hector: The epidermis is magenta. It appears transparent and is extremely thin...allowing visualization of muscles and individual muscle fibers.

**************************

Hal: "To infinity and beyond." "By the power of Grayskull." What the hell?! Come on! If you can fly me 100 miles in the middle of nowhere, you’d think that you-- No! (panting) In brightest day, in blackest night...no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil’s might...beware my power: Green Lantern’s light. (knocking on door) Carol.

Carol: Everything okay in there?

Hal: It’s fine.

Carol: Well, can I come in?

Hal: No. Yeah, no, because we’re-- Uh, do you wanna get a drink?

Carol: Can we talk?

Hal: Yeah. We can talk and drink.

****************************

Hector: My initial analysis.

Dr Amanda Waller: Thank you, doctor.

Hector: I don’t need to tell you that the mere fact that its humanoid is extraordinary. It’s indicating a convergent evolution, or perhaps a common ancestry...and the implications of that are staggering. I mean, where did it come from? This could completely change the way that the world views itself. You imagine the way that the public will react to this? Um, but I know that that won’t happen. I do.

Dr Amanda Waller: Like yourself, doctor, I’m a seeker of truth. But the people who pay for facilities like this...have other priorities and the power to enforce them.

Hector: So I keep it a secret.

Dr Amanda Waller: People like us have to work within the system, doctor. We do the best we can.

Hector: Right.

****************************

Someone: Pick that up.

Hal: I, um...I’m really sorry.

Carol: Did you just apologize? You haven’t been replaced by an alien or something?

Hal: No. I’m good. Ah. I’m good. I’m good, totally good. Uh...Do you think I’m irresponsible? (Carol laughing) No need to answer. That’s fine.

Carol: Hal. (laughing)

Hal: You look pretty. And we haven’t been in this place together since...that night.

Carol: You forgot it was my birthday.

Hal: Did I?

Carol: Mm.

Hal: That was also the night--The first time that we ever...flew together.

Carol: You’ve been flying ever since with anyone who’d get in the plane.

(Music: “Come Softly To Me”)

Hal: Oh, yeah.

Carol: Oh, no.

Hal: Come on. No, yeah, let’s go.

Carol: Mm-mm.

Hal: Dance with me.

Carol: No. (Hal singing “Come Softly To Me”) No. No. No. Hal. No.

Hal: I really am sorry.

Carol: Oh. It’s okay. The contract isn’t quite dead yet. I told you I was good at this.

Hal: I wasn’t talking about the contract. I would’ve screwed this up. You know? Even if I didn’t go to the Air Force...I would’ve found some way to...You and me, I would’ve blown it.

Carol: Yeah, is that what you tell yourself?

Hal: Mm. What do you tell yourself?

Carol: That you were scared I was getting too close. You know what I spent my afternoon doing?

Hal: What?

Carol: Worrying about you. Hal, I went over every inch of the flight data. There was nothing wrong with the plane. What happened up there?

Hal: Thanks for the dance.

Bob: I told you to watch your back. You cost us all our jobs, you son of a bitch. Pathetic. Bastard’s been living off his old man’s reputation his whole life.

Hal: Hey. Hey! My face is just getting warmed up.
