Transcript

By authority of the mystic guardians of the universe, on the far-distant plant, Oa, Hal Jordan, test pilot becomes — the Green Lantern, a cosmic crusader whose magical power ring at his bidding accomplishes the impossible.

His continued fight against planetary evil.

Green Lantern, guardian of the Galaxy.

 

Planet Oa, center of the universe. There in the great central hall, beneath Oa’s great cosmic battery, the immortal guardians of the universe are troubled.

Immortal Guardian Leader: “There may be only moments. We must warn Green Lantern.”

 

Now in a sleek rocket craft, high above Planet Earth, Green Lantern, in his guise of test pilot, Hal Jordan, gets the messages.

Immortal Guardian Leader: “Take heed, Green Lantern.”
Hal Jordan, Test Pilot: “I hear you Guardian.”
Immortal Guardian Leader: “Evil Star has escaped Galactic confinement. Beware!”
Hal Jordan, Test Pilot: “Evil Star! Wow! Better get down fast!”

 

Cairo, Mechanic: “What’s up boss?”
Hal Jordan, Test Pilot: “Big trouble, Cairo.”
Cairo, Mechanic: “Greenlanternsville, huh?”
Hal Jordan, Test Pilot: “You know it.”

Meanwhile, the interplanetary lord of crime, Evil Star, streaks toward Earth.

Evil Star: “Hahaha! Soon, all on Earth shall know that my star-band surpasses any power in the universe.”

Hal Jordan: “Let those who worship evil’s might beware of my power — Green Lantern’s Light.”

 

Cairo: “Yaw! What gives?”
Green Lantern: “Evil Star. Outside, Cairo. Hurry!”
Police Officer One: “Gun him down!”

Cairo: “They’re frozen solid. And I’m next!”
Green Lantern: “Not if I can help it.”

Evil Star: “We meet again, Green Lantern.”
Green Lantern: “Try my beam for size, Evil Star.”

Evil Star: “Hey!!! I shall consume you with my star-fire.”
Green Lantern: “Ah-Ah. I think you need a lift.”

Evil Star: “AHHHHHHHHH!!!

I will have my revenge on the Guardians themselves!”

 

 

Cairo: “You sure showed Evil Star who’s boss, right boss?
Green Lantern: “Not for long, Cairo. He’s plotting mischief on Oa. I’d better get up there as soon as I give my ring a full twenty-four hour charge . . . great nebula! The power lantern’s gone dead!”
Cairo: “Wait Green Lantern. With my radio, sometimes this makes it work.”
Green Lantern: “Haha! Good work, Cairo!”
Cairo: “Charge it while it’s hot . . . Why’s it flickering?”
Green Lantern: “I’m afraid it means Evil Star is already on Oa. Come on, Cairo.”

Green Lantern: “Up we go!”

 

Evil Star: “That should hold up Green Lantern. Now to take care of the Guardians.”

Guardian Leader: “Evil Star!”
Evil Star: “The same. Now Guardians of the Universe, since there is no one to protect you . . .”

Green Lantern: “Don’t you believe it, Evil Star!”

Green Lantern: “Great Galaxy! My ring!”
Evil Star: “Without this, you are powerless! Now I control the universe!”
Cairo: “Catch boss!”
Green Lantern: “Got it!”
Evil Star: “You’ll pay for that!”
Green Lantern: “Party’s over Evil Star!”
Evil Star: “We’ll see about that!”
Cairo: “Get him, GL!”
Evil Star: “Try and catch me while there is still time!”

Cairo: “Time? What did he mean by that?”
Guardian Leader: “I fear Evil Star plans to keep Green Lantern occupied, until the twenty-four hour time limit of his ring’s power has elapsed.”

 

Evil Star: “That should keep you busy for a while.”
Green Lantern: “You’re wasting your effort, Evil Star.”
Evil Star: “No, I’m wasting your time. Let’s see you handle my light force beam.”
Green Lantern: “Got . . . Got to get out of this fast.”
Evil Star: “Alright, have you got enough time to overcome this?”
Green Lantern: “I’m tired of playing games, Evil Star . . . Now let’s test your power.”
Evil Star: “No, stop!”
Green Lantern: “Go on Evil Star. Fire another blast from your star band now!”
Evil Star: “No, no. It will destroy me!”
Green Lantern: “Back to Galactic jail for you, Evil Star.”

 

Cairo: “Good job, Green Lantern.”
Green Lantern: “Take his star band, Cairo.”
Cairo: “With pleasure, boss.”
Green Lantern: “This bubble will hold him, until he is returned to Galactic confinement.”

Guardian Leader: “We thank you, Green Lantern.”
Green Lantern: “Always at your service, Guardians of the Universe.

Let’s go home, Cairo.”
