- Hal Jordan: The Red Lanterns abandoned you, Razer, left you for dead. I think that calls for a little payback, don't you? Help us. Tell us what you know.
- Razer: I do hate the Red Lanterns for what they made me... but that doesn't mean I've stopped hating Green Lanterns. It just means I have more people to hate.
- Hal Jordan: This place gives me the creeps. It's like fear irradiates from the walls. It's a dank, dark repulsive hole full of...
- Kilowog: Spiders.
- Hal Jordan: I was going to say "rats", but... oh.
- [sees the Spider Guild]
- Aya: [in Razer's head] Razer, listen to me: none of this is real. This is not really happening. Do not panic. I am the AYA program.
- Razer: I know this is fantasy, an illusion meant to bring me pain.
- Aya: You know, then why...
- Razer: The memories keep replaying over and over in my head. They hurt, but I don't mind. I get to see her again, even if it's for one more moment.
- Aya: I don't understand.
- Razer: Pray you never do.
- Aya: I need your help. I cannot save Hal and Kilowog without you. Some force is keeping me out of the prison.
- Razer: The prison? What are the Green Lanterns even doing here?
- Aya: They heard the prisoners were being tortured here, and Hal thought it unacceptable. They came back to investigate, and to save you if it was true.
- Razer: They shouldn't have done that! I deserve to be here! I helped destroy an entire world, all those people died because of me...
- Aya: No. Kilowog was able to rescue the settlers before the world was destroyed.
- Razer: What? Then I didn't...
- Kilowog: An escaped convict will say anything to stay out of prison.
- Hal Jordan: And if he's telling the truth?
- Kilowog: Razer's worse than a criminal - if the Spiders want to torture him, let 'em!
- Hal Jordan: It's our job, our DUTY, to serve and protect. Even if they're criminals.
- Aya: Intriguing. Criminals must be punished, surely the prisoners deserve their fate.
- Hal Jordan: They deserve justice, which sometimes involves punishment - but not torture.
- Hal Jordan: So you DO run a Gulag after all!
- Myglom: Not at all. We don't torture the prisoners here... not in the traditional sense.
- [Two spiders attach headbands to Jordan and Kilowog]
- Myglom: These devices force the wearer to relive their worst moments, again and again.
- Kilowog: So, that's what you've got in store for us? A couple of bad dreams?
- Myglom: Oh no, no. The memories are only the beginning. After we treat our prisoners, then we eat them.
- [first lines]
- [Razer is made to watch a playback of an exploding world]
- Kilowog: Like looking at that stuff, poozer? Proud of what you did? How many of you Red Lanterns are out there? Why are you hunting Green Lanterns?
- [slams Razer against the wall]
- Kilowog: ANSWER ME!
- Hal Jordan: Easy there, Kilowog! This thing's a rental, remember?
- Kilowog: Even if there is something wrong with the prison, it's not like Myglom's gonna let us see it. They'll clean up their act as soon as they see us coming.
- Hal Jordan: That's why they're not gonna see us coming.
- Kilowog: Please, don't say it...
- Hal Jordan: We're going to break INTO the prison.
- Kilowog: [shudders] These yellow stones are everywhere, they make my skin crawl...
- Hal Jordan: I've never seen you scared before.
- Kilowog: I ain't afraid of no rocks!
- [in a nightmare, Razer finds his wife dead]
- Razer: Ileana? But... I came back for you... I came back... I CAME BACK FOR YOU!
- Hal Jordan: I was kicking butt long before I ever got this ring, and I've been squashing bugs even longer!
- Kilowog: You know, for a second there I thought you were going to make Razer the warden.
- Hal Jordan: Are you crazy? I couldn't possibly leave a Red Lantern in charge of this place... because he's coming with us.
- Myglom: Oh, your rings won't work here. You must have noticed this before now...
- [points to the yellow crystals]
- Myglom: We stumbled on a rich planet of it nearby. Not only does it power and light the whole facility, it has an interesting side effect: it nullifies the energy of a Green Lantern power ring.
- [a red power ring approaches Razer]
- Atrocitus: Razer of the Forgotten Zone, you have great rage in your heart. You belong to the Red Lantern Corps. Give in. The ring knows your pain.
- Razer: SOMEONE MUST PAY!
- [holds out his hand for the ring]
- Atrocitus: You will have revenge. This, your new master Atrocitus, promises...
- [Razer becomes a Red Lantern]
- Myglom: No one has EVER escaped from this facility, I am very proud of that. But I am even more proud of our rehabilitation program. You'll find that nearly a hundred percent of our "guests" never return to their life of crime...
