Movie quotes

  • (..) I've heard of family fights, but my God... You've got a bigger fight than that coming, rookie. Guardians are talking about this like it's doomsday. Has Oa been cleared out? Not a Lantern left on it. It's just a husk now. What about here? Quiet so far. I'm thinking of taking a closer look. (..)
