Green Lantern Corps (2022)/Transcript

(Warner Bros. Pictures, DC, Bron and Stone Quarry logos start in space and fades to black. The scene cuts to a hospital in New York on a rainy night as text appears and reads "New York, 1986" then cuts to the operating room as Jessica Jordan gives birth while she screams as Martin Jordan holds her hand tightly. She pushes one more time until a 39-week baby comes out of her womb. A baby moves and opens its eyes.)

Nurse: Congratulations, Mr. Jordan. You have a beautiful, healthy baby boy.

Jessica Jordan: Martin, we have a son.

Martin Jordan: Of course we have. We'll call him... Hal.

Jessica Jordan: Hal. That's such a lovely name. And look, he's saying hello to you.

Martin Jordan: Hello. Would you like to hold him?

Jessica Jordan: Yes, honey. I'd love to.

(Martin gives baby Hal to Jessica.)

Jessica Jordan: Hey, Hal. Look at him. He's precious, he's beautiful, and he's great.

(Thunder crashes as the scene flashes to Hal's house in 2002 as text appears and says "16 Years Later...". Martin sets a birthday cake on the table with two number candles where it says "16" and the frosting text says "Happy 16th Birthday, Hal Jordan" as Martin, Jessica his friends and uncle Alan sing "The Happy Birthday Song" to a teenage Hal. Hal blows out the candles as his parents and friends cheer.)

Hal Jordan: (Narrating) I'm Hal Jordan. I was born in 1986 in New York. My father was a pilot, my mother was an engineer. When I was 16 years old, my dad brought a new car to me as my surprise present. It looked like a Lamborghini. And it was really awesome. One fateful day, he had an accident on a jet. That's why he went to the hospital as my mom took me there to see him.

(The scene flashes to Hal who watches the news on TV with Jessica.)

Reporter: (On TV) Breaking news, Martin Jordan, the pilot at Ferris Aircraft, had an accident and was sent to the hospital from suffering injuries.

(The scene goes to Hal, John Stewart and Jessica who walks to his father at the hospital room. Hal walks to Martin.)

Teenage Hal: Dad.

Martin: Hey, son. I had an accident. I'll recover soon. I know you can be the best pilot. Just do your best, Hal.

Teenage Hal: I will, Dad. I promise.

Jessica: Come on, honey. Let's go get some lunch.

Teenage Hal: (To Jessica) Okay, Mom. (To Martin) Bye, Dad.

Martin: Goodbye, my son. I hope you'll be happy to be the best pilot at Ferris Aircraft. And you'll be able to fly.

(Hal, John and Jessica leave as the camera pans back from the hospital, pans to the right and pans forward to space.)

Hal Jordan: My father was recovered from the hospital. And now, I'm a pilot at Ferris Aircraft, owned by Carol Ferris, CEO. It feels like I can fly everywhere.

(The green title appears and it reads "Green Lantern Corps" as the title blows to dust. The scene goes to present day in space as text appears and reads "Present Day".)

Hal Jordan: On a distant planet of Oa, the members were formed known as the Green Lantern Corps. But that time, one of the members, Sinestro, betrayed and turned against them.
