Green Lantern: First Flight (2009 Video)

William Schallert: Appa Ali Apsa

Quotes 

• Appa Ali Apsa : You must understand, earthling, the Green Lantern Corp is a privileged organization. Not just anyone can join. There are tremendous commitments. Each Lantern is responsible for patrolling one of 3600 sectors of the universe. But...

  Hal Jordan : Sort of like one cop per precinct.

  Appa Ali Apsa : Uh, yes. I suppose.

  Hal Jordan : My uncle was a cop.

  Appa Ali Apsa : Yes, fine...

  Hal Jordan : Thirty years on the Coast City police force. He used to let me turn on the siren. Nice guy.

  Appa Ali Apsa : But more than that, the Green Lantern ring is a complex tool. It takes someone with fierce concentration.

  Hal Jordan : I think I pretty much got the hang of it.

  Ranakar : [incredulous]  He's got the hang of it.

  Appa Ali Apsa : Ranakar.

  Ranakar : Why are we even entertaining this? He's a human.

  Ganthet : Yes, hard to get past that.

  Appa Ali Apsa : I'm afraid the human race of Earth does not have the most stellar reputation.

  Ranakar : The fact is humans are crude, base, fearful and untrustworthy.

  Guardian : And then there's the smell.

• Appa Ali Apsa : Where are you going?

  Hal Jordan : I've gotta go punch a clock with my other boss.

  [as he's flying off] 

  Hal Jordan : I can see where this is going to be a long commute.
