Tomar-Re Quotes in Green Lantern (2011)

[Hal struts around in a Green Lantern outfit]

Tomar-Re: Have you concluded admiring yourself?

Hal Jordan: A talking fish...

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.

[last lines]

Tomar-Re: Of all the Lanterns who have ever worn the ring, there was one whose light shined brightest. At first his humanity was thought to be a weakness, and yet it proved to be his greatest strength.

[first lines]

Tomar-Re: Billions of years ago, a race of immortals harnessed the most powerful force in existence: the emerald energy of willpower. 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.

[from trailer]

Tomar-Re: After the defeat of the Corps' finest warrior, the search for his successor began...

Abin Sur: Choose well...

[the ring flies across the world]

Tomar-Re: And for the first time, the ring chose a human.

Tomar-Re: Of all the threats the Corps ever faced, the gravest was an entity of fear known as Parallax. Only the legendary Green Lantern Abin Sur was capable of capturing and imprisoning this beast, which he did on the lost planet of Ryut.

Hal Jordan: I'm done. He's right, I'm only human. We're not ready to defend the universe. Up until a few days ago, we thought we were the only ones IN the universe.

Tomar-Re: The ring chose you. It wouldn't have done so if it hadn't seen something in you.

Hal Jordan: Oh, yeah?

Tomar-Re: Something you yourself don't yet see. The ring never makes a mistake.

Hal Jordan: This time it did.

Hal Jordan: [sees the Central Battery] What is that?

Tomar-Re: It is the energy generated from the central battery. Its power comes from the will of every living creature in the universe. This in turn charges your lantern, which in turn charges your ring. Even your suit is comprised entirely of energy.

Hal Jordan: What's with all the green?

Tomar-Re: Green is the color of will. The guardians harnessed will because it is the strongest source of energy in the universe.

Tomar-Re: [makes a constuct] Your will turns thought into reality. To master the ring you must learn to focus your will and create what you see in your mind. The ring's limits are only what you can imagine.

[the construct fades away]

Hal Jordan: Do that again...

Tomar-Re: The ring will inform you when there is an imminent threat.

[Hal gets blasted by Kilowog's ring]

Tomar-Re: This particular threat's name is Kilowog. He'll be your combat training officer.

[Kilowog lands in front of Hal]

Hal Jordan: Whoa!

Kilowog: Never let your guard down, poozer. Welcome to Ring Slinging 101. Or as I like to call it: The worst day of your worthless life.

Tomar-Re: We're going to fly now.

Hal Jordan: Fly?

Tomar-Re: Absolutely.

Hal Jordan: All right. I can do that.

Tomar-Re: Join me.

Hal Jordan: I can do that.

[Hal steps off the platform... and falls]

Tomar-Re: Since time immemorial the Green Lantern Corps have served as the keepers of peace, order and justice throughout the universe. To be chosen to join its ranks is the highest of honors - the greatest of responsibilities.

Hal Jordan: Yeah, that part I think I heard about...
