“GREEN LANTERN:THE BEGINNING” SCRIPT

EPISODE 1: “ORIGINS PART 1”

(INTRO)

HAL: Holy crap.

(title card)

NARRATOR: Long ago, a race of sentient beings, called The Guardians, created the Green Lantern Corps, a interstellar group of space-police who protect the universe from anything evil. The Guardians found the green element, and used it to create the green lantern power battery. The battery would charge any of the Green Lantern Corps power rings, which would create anything the Green Lantern user of that ring wanted. The battery also contained all the known history of the cosmos. But, like all things, the battery had its weakness, the color yellow, the one part of the light spectrum that could resist the color green. The most concentrated source of yellow in the universe is the yellow element, which The Guardians hid in another dimension thousands of years ago. What follows is the downfall of The Green Lantern Corps, and how they rose up to face evil, once again.

(THEME SONG)

GANTHET (ON ANNOUCER): Senior Green Lanterns Abin Sur, Sinestro, Kilowog, Tomar Re, and Chip, please report to the meeting room immediately.

SINESTRO: What do you think is going on now, guys? Seriously, the gnomes are calling us nearly every day now.

ABIN SUR: Sinestro, there is a crisis brewing. Ever since Kan Jar Ro found the yellow element, the whole corps has been in turmoil.

SINESTRO: Think about it, Abin. The gnomes haven’t been in the field for millennia, you really think they know what they’re doing.

ABIN SUR: It’s The Guardians, of course I know they know, you should to.

SINESTRO(WHISPERS TO SELF): Fine, its your funeral.

NARRATOR: Those words were too true.

(inside meeting room)

APPA : You Senior Lanterns have been called here for a very important reason. Kan Jar Ro has obtained the yellow element, but, we have learned that he will be in Sector 2814, on the planet Toran tomorrow. One of you must infiltrate his ship and find the yellow element. Once found, it must be brought back here immediately. Any volunteers?

ABIN SUR: I will, Appa Ali Epsa. This corps is everything to me, I will not let it fall.

GANTHET: We shall put to a vote. I say yes.

(Every Guardian agrees)

APPA: Well, it has been decided. Abin Sur will once again save the universe.

SINESTRO(TO SELF): And earn more bragging rights.

NARRATOR: Abin Sur was one of the greatest Green Lanterns of all time. He had saved the universe on numerous occasions. But this adventure would be his last.

KILOWOG: Good luck, Abin. I know you won’t fail The Guardians.

ABIN SUR: Thank you, Kilowog.

SINESTRO: Are you crazy!!?!!

ABIN SUR: What?

SINESTRO: Do want to be killed? You do realize that Kutch is on that ship.

NARRATOR: Kutch was a squid-man who worked for Kan Jo Ro, the warlord. He could send 100 volts of lightning to you in half a second.

ABIN SUR: Yes, Sinestro, I do. But the ring is more powerful than him.

SINESTRO: All you want is the fame.

ABIN SUR: No, that’s what you want.

NARRATOR: Abin Sur and Sinestro never got along. Abin Sur wanted peace and prosperity through the universe, Sinestro wanted that, but in a quite different way.

(ABOARD KAN JAR RO’S SHIP)

KAN JAR RO: Ah, the yellow element. Surely the rings won’t stop me now. I’m brilliant, I have successfully almost taken control of the universe!!!!!!!

KAN JAR RO’S ASSISTANT: You haven’t actually taken control yet, sir.

KAN JAR RO: SHUT UP!!!!!!

KAN JAR RO’S ASSISTANT: SORRY SIR!!!

KAN JAR RO: Why do I pay you? Ugh, I forgive you if I must.

KAN JAR RO’S ASSISTANT: Thank you sir.

KAN JAR RO: But under one condition.

KAN JAR RO’S ASSISTANT: What?

KAN JAR RO: Get off my ship, NOW!!!!

(KAN JO RO KICKS AND KNOCKS OUT HIS ASSISTANT)

KAN JAR RO: You(points at Abin Sur in disguise), take the yellow element to the safe room.

ABIN SUR IN DISGUISE: Yes, sir

NARRATOR: Whlie about to escape to the warship dock, Abin Sur crossed paths with the wrong person, Kutch, who could smell Abin Sur’s scent from a mile away.

KUTCH: You!!!! (CUT TO BLACK)
