Green Lantern Page #2

Synopsis: In a mysterious universe, the Green Lantern Corps, an elite defense force of peace and justice have existed for centuries. Reckless test pilot Hal Jordan acquires superhuman powers when he is chosen by the Ring, the willpower-fed source of power. Reluctantly at first, he takes on the challenge after the death of Abin Sur, the finest Green Lantern. Putting his self-doubts aside, and spurred on by his sense of duty and love for his beautiful, intellectually equal, colleague, Carol Ferris, he is soon called to defend mankind from Parallax, a powerful, evil being who feeds on fear. Hal Jordan is the universe's last chance, as many Green Lanterns have been killed and the Corps is weakened. And he might just be the right Green Lantern for the duty of keeping the world safe from harm.

Easy, Highball. Just lining it up.

There's no way

we're taking these out solo.

Get over here.

Let's figure something out.

On my way, Highball.

Now stay right there and look real pretty.

Highball, did you just use your wingman

as a decoy?

Highball, those Sabres headed up your 6

can fly anywhere you can.

Then let's go somewhere I can't fly.

What the hell is he up to?

Coffin corner.

Highball, rules of engagement

set ceiling at 50,000 feet.

Yeah, because the Sabres will stall

if they go any higher, right, Tom?

And so will you.

Compressor stall. Compressor stall.

Yes!

Um, I mean, damn it, Hal.

Your boy certainly

takes his job seriously.

Ailerons, Hal. Side to side.

I got it.

Hal.

Keep it warm for me.

Going through 25,000.

Hey, you okay, Highball?

Yeah, just taking my victory lap.

- Going through 20,000.

- Okay, Highball, give me some roll.

Yeah, Dad!

Hal, do you read me?

Highball, you're approaching

minimum ejection altitude.

Highball, you're below 10,000 AGL.

Spin is unrecoverable.

Eject, eject, eject!

You're not scared, are you, Dad?

Let's just say it's my job not to be.

Dad!

Dad!

You stupid son of a b*tch. You...

Stand down, Bob. It doesn't matter now.

It does matter.

Never mind that you crashed

a brand-new F-35.

You broke the rules of engagement.

You sacrificed your wingman.

And you blew the contract

this company was depending on.

I'm sorry. I thought this was a dogfight.

I was under the impression

the objective was to win.

No, the objective was to show

what the Sabres could do in combat.

And in combat,

no pilot is gonna crater his own plane.

I did.

Now you know you gotta boost the ceiling.

I showed you what they can't do.

You didn't have to make that point

in front of Air Force Acquisitions.

That's enough, Carol.

Since I'm gonna have to lay off most of

my company anyway, you're fired, Hal.

It's too late. I quit.

He's not fired and you don't quit.

You're grounded,

pending the results of an investigation.

Watch your back.

That's impossible, Bob.

- Tell me what happened.

- Controls locked up.

Don't give me that, Hal. You had a

window when you could've recovered.

Did you choke?

You wouldn't be the first,

but I need to know.

My controls locked up.

What the hell is all this, anyway?

What's with the ridiculous suit?

- I know your dad's been bucking for you...

- The merits of my career choices...

You're a pilot, and a good one.

Giving that up to fly a desk is bullshit.

I like it and I'm good at it.

Doesn't mean I'll never get in a cockpit

again. It isn't one way or the other.

That's the way a child looks at things,

and we aren't children anymore.

At least...
