Confronting Grief and Responsibility in Crisis
Rocket
Blasted idiot. They're all idiots! Quill just got himself captured! None of this ever would have happened if you didn't try to single-handedly take on a FRICKIN ARMY!
[to Drax]
Drax
You're right. I was a fool. All the anger, all the rage, was just to cover my loss.
Rocket
Oh, boo-hoo-hoo. "My wife and child are dead." Oh, I don't care if it's mean! Everybody's got dead people! That's no excuse to get everybody else dead along the way! Come on, Groot. Ronan has the stone. The only chance we got is to get to the other side of the universe as fast as we can and maybe, just maybe, we'll be able to live full lives before that whack-job ever gets there.
[mimics Drax; Groot gasps, enraged; to Groot]
Groot
I am Groot.
[stands up]
Rocket
Save them? How?
Groot
I am Groot.
Rocket
I know they're the only friends that we ever had, but there's an army of Ravagers around them. And there's only two of us!
Drax
Three.
[stands up next to Groot]
Rocket
YOU'RE MAKING... ME... BEAT... UP... GRASS!!!

Friendship and Acceptance Among Guardians
Drax
I just wanted to tell you how grateful I am that you've accepted me despite my blunders. It is pleasing to once again have friends. You, Quill, are my friend.
Quill
Thanks.
Drax
This dumb tree, he is my friend.
Drax
And this green whore, she too is my–
Gamora
OH, YOU MUST STOP!
Nebula
GAMORA! Look at what you have done! You have always been weak! You stupid, traitorous--
Drax
Nobody talks to my friends like that.

Planning to Stop Ronan
Gamora
We have to stop Ronan.
Rocket
How?!
Quill
I have a plan.
Rocket
You've got a plan?
Quill
Yes.
Rocket
First of all, you're copying me from when I said I had a plan.
Quill
No, I'm not! People say that all the time, it's not that unique of a thing to say.
Rocket
Secondly, I don't even believe you have a plan.
Quill
I have... part of a plan!
Drax
What percentage of a plan do you have?
Gamora
You don't get to ask questions after that nonsense you pulled on Knowhere!
Drax
I just saved Quill!
Quill
We've already established that you destroying the ship that I'm on is not saving me!
Drax
When did we establish that?
Quill
Like, just a few seconds ago!
Drax
I wasn't listening, I was thinking of something else.
Gamora
Aaugh–
[Frustrated]
Rocket
She's right, you don't get an opinion. What percentage?
[To Drax; To Quill]
Quill
I dunno. Twelve percent.
Rocket
Twelve percent"?!
[Breaks into raucous laughter]
Quill
That's a fake laugh.
Rocket
IT'S REAL!
Quill
Totally fake!
Rocket
That is the most real, authentic, hysterical laugh of my entire life, because that is not a plan!
Gamora
It's barely a concept.
Quill
You're taking their side?!
Groot
I am Groot.
Rocket
So what, "It's better than eleven percent"? What the hell does that have to do with anything?!
Quill
Thank you, Groot. Thank you. See? Groot's the only one of you who has a clue.

Confrontation with the Sovereign Fleet
Quill
This is weird. We have a Sovereign fleet approaching from the rear.
Gamora
Why would they do that?
Drax
Probably because Rocket stole some of their batteries.
Rocket
Dude!
Drax
Right... He didn't steal some of those. I don't know why they're after us. What a mystery this is.
[''Awkwardly''; ''The Sovereign fleet open fire'']
Quill
What were you thinking?!
Rocket
Dude, they were really easy to steal.
Gamora
That's your defense?

Unexpected Encounters Amidst Fireworks
Drax
Hey!
Gamora
Who are you people?! What is this place?!
Drax
What is she doing here?
Nebula
Just watching the fireworks.
Drax
Gamora, let her go!
Gamora
The bodies in the caverns, who are they?!
Mantis
You are scared.
[''Gamora lets go of Mantis's neck'']
Gamora
We need to find Peter now and get off this damn planet.
Mantis
Ego will have won him to his side by now. He has a way of -
Nebula
Then we just go.
Gamora
No. He’s our friend.
Nebula
All any of you do is yell at each other. You’re not friends.
Drax
You’re right. We’re family. We leave no one behind. Except maybe you.
[''To Nebula'']
Gamora
What did she do to me?!
Drax
She already told me everything.

Debate on Plans and Confinement
Quill
Well, he's got a plan. Right? Or is that another thing you made up?
Rocket
I have a plan, I have a plan!
Drax
Cease your yammering and relieve us from this irksome confinement.
Quill
Yeah, I'll have to agree with the walking thesaurus on that one.
Drax
Do not ever call me a thesaurus.
[deadpan]
Quill
It's just a metaphor, dude.
Rocket
His people are completely literal, metaphors are gonna go over his head.
Drax
Nothing goes over my head. My reflexes are too fast. I would catch it.
Gamora
I'm gonna die surrounded by the biggest idiots in the galaxy.
Quill
Those are big guns.

Humorous Banter Among Guardians of the Galaxy
Rocket
Quill, when you go to bed tonight there's gonna be something squishy in your pillowcase and you're gonna be like "What's this?" and it's gonna be because I put a turd in there!
Quill
You put your turd in my bed, I shave you.
Rocket
Oh, it won't be my turd, it'll be Drax's!
Drax
I have famously huge turds!

Consequences of Past Choices and Urgency
Jake
Hey, hey. Can you hear me?
[meeting Drea sitting on ground with wounded leg]
Drea
Yeah. Well, you were right. It was pointless. You shouldn't have come back. I'm sorry I lied to you. Sorry I dragged you into this.
[Jake wraps bandage on Drea's leg]
Jake
You didn't drag me into anything. You dragged me out. But we got to get that bomb back.
Drea
It's too late, Jake.
Jake
You said you could build a bomb big enough to blow up a tank, right? What about a train?
Drea
Jake...
Jake
The train's headed back to the city. To get there it's gotta cross the bridge. All right, all I need to do is get that plug and make sure the train doesn't stop. You just gotta blow that bridge.
Drea
That's all?
Jake
Look, we can do this. But if we're gonna do it, we gotta do it now. Okay, you ready?
Drea
Yeah.

Secrets of a Hidden Atomic Bomb
Jake
This is helping people?
[in a bomb storage hanger]
Drea
I wanted to tell you but August said you wouldn't help if you knew.
Jake
You're goddamn right.
Drea
The U.S. made two atomic bombs to drop on Japan, ]. But there was a third, set aside for Moscow, in case ]. The Mona Lisa. This bomb was meant to travel a long way, so there was a safety measure added. Without this plug inserted, this bomb can't go off.
[[w:Fat Man and Little Boy|Fat Man and Little Boy; pulls out plug key of bomb; [w:Korean War|the Red Army didn't stop at Manchuria]
Jake
So August gets the bomb and you get everything else?
Drea
August doesn't want this bomb to use it. He just wants to keep it away from Volkov.
Jake
And you believe him?
Drea
What choice do I have?
Jake
You had a choice. You could've kept me out of itǃ
Drea
But it would've been found. And you know it, Jake. I do trust August just a little more than I trust Volkov.
Jake
They're both a part of the same hypocrisy. I trusted you, Drea.
Drea
Look. It might be too late for me and the life I wanted. But maybe, just maybe, by stopping Volkov someone else can have that chance.
Jake
And how many have to die while you're trying to stop him?
[walks away]
Drea
Jake, waitǃ Come on, just... just stay and fight with usǃ Can't you see, the Volkovs of this world, they win when good people do nothing?
Jake
They win anywayǃ
[walks away]
Drea
Jake, Jake...ǃ

We'll kill anyone who gets in our way!
Peter Quill
No, not kill anyone!

Kill a few people!
Peter Quill

Peter Quill
Now you're just making it sad.

Mantis Reflects on Christmas and Secret Guilt
Mantis
It sounds like Christmas is a wonderful time, and Yondu ruined it for Peter. I feel like I should do something.
Drax
Why?
Mantis
Because of, you know, my secret. The one only you know.
Drax
That you ate the entire bowl of zarg-nuts in the commissary?
Mantis
My other secret.
Drax
That you’re Quill’s sister?
Drax
Why don’t you just tell people the truth?
Mantis
Peter’s father, our father, killed his mother, and tried to kill him. I don’t want him to be reminded of that every time he sees me.
Drax
No, I meant about the zarg-nuts.
Mantis
Oh. I don't think anyone cares about that but you.
Mantis
Maybe because I'm his sister, I feel like I should give Peter a happy Christmas. He's so sad about Gamora being gone. Maybe if we gave Peter a really wonderful Christmas gift, it would make him happy.
Drax
Well, we could give him those zarg-nuts except you at them all.
Mantis
Get over the zarg-nuts!
Drax
What kind of present?
Mantis
Something special he will never forget.
Drax
What about someone special?
Mantis
What?
Drax
Over the years, Quill has talked about one person more than any other. A legendary hero who has saved countless lives. We could give him to Quill as a present.

A Chance to Fight for Innocent Lives
Quill
I look around at us– and you know what I see? Losers. I mean, like, folks who have lost stuff. And we have, man, we have, all of us. Our homes. Our families. Normal lives. And usually life takes more than it gives, but not today. Today it's giving us something. It is giving us a chance.
[The others give him an off look]
Drax
To do what?
Quill
–To give a shit, for once, and not run away. I for one am not going to stand by and watch as Ronan wipes out billions of innocent lives.
Rocket
But Quill– What you're asking us to do...stopping Ronan– It's impossible. You're asking us to die.
Quill
– Yeah. I guess I am.
Gamora
Quill, I have lived most of my life surrounded by my enemies. I will be grateful to die among my friends.
[Stands up]
Drax
You are an honorable man, Quill. I will fight beside you. And in the end, I will see my wife and daughter again.
[Stands up]
Groot
I am Groot.
[Stands up]
Rocket
Aww, what the hell? I don't got that long a lifespan anyway. Well, now I'm standing. You all happy? We're all standing up now. Bunch of jackasses, standing in a circle.

Rocket

Rocket
What are we even talking about this for? We just had a little man save us by blowing up fifty ships!
Drax
How little?

Well, I don't know, like this? (he holds his fingers about an inch apart)

A Conversation About Possibility and Distance
Peter Quill
And I miss you, so much. And maybe if you open yourself up to it, there’s a possibility.
Gamora
I don’t think so, Quinn.
Peter Quill
Quill.
Gamora
Quill. I don’t think so.
Peter Quill
But what I’m trying to say is…
Mantis
Peter, you know this is an open line, right?
Peter Quill
What?
Mantis
We’re listening to everything you’re saying.
Drax
And it is painful.
Peter Quill
And you’re just telling me now?!
Mantis
We were hoping it would stop on its own.

The Orb's Unforeseen Consequences
Gamora
How could I think Tivan could contain whatever was within the Orb?
Rocket
WHAT DO YOU STILL HAVE IT FOR?!
[Altogether shocked and shaken]
Quill
Well, what were we gonna do? Leave it in there?
Rocket
I can't believe you had that in your purse!
[Ignoring Quill]
Quill
It's not a purse; it's a knapsack!
[Defensive]
Gamora
We have to take this to the Nova Corps. There's a chance they can contain it.
Rocket
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! We're wanted by the Nova Corps!! Just give it to Ronan!
Quill
What, so he can destroy the galaxy?!
Rocket
What are you? Some saint, all of a sudden? What has the galaxy ever done for you? Why would you wanna save it?!
Quill
BECAUSE I'M ONE OF THE IDIOTS WHO LIVES IN IT!
Gamora
Peter, listen to me. We cannot allow the stone to fall into Ronan's hands. We have to go back to your ship and deliver it to Nova.
Quill
Right, right, okay. I think you're right. Or we could give it to somebody who's not going to arrest us, who's really nice for a whole lot of money. I think it's a really good balance between both of your points of view.
Gamora
You're despicable. Dishonorable. FAITHLESS! Oh, no.
[they see Ronan's ship approaching Knowhere]
Drax
At last! I shall meet my foe, and destroy him!
[with his knives raised; laughs]
Quill
You called Ronan?!
Yondu
Quill! Don't you move, boy! Don't you--! Get out of the way!
[they start running off]
Drax
Ronan the Accuser!
Ronan
You are the one who transmitted the message?
Drax
You killed my wife. You killed my daughter!

Conflict Over Respect Among Guardians
Quill
Whoa! Whoa! What are you doing?!
Drax
This vermin speaks of affairs he knows nothing about!
Rocket
That is true!
Drax
HE HAS NO RESPECT!
Rocket
THAT IS ALSO TRUE!
Quill
HOLD ON, HOLD ON!
Rocket
Keep callin me "vermin", tough guy! You just wanna laugh at me, like everyone else!
Quill
Rocket, you're drunk. All right? No one's laughing at you.
Rocket
He thinks I'm some stupid thing! He does! Well, I didn't ask to get made! I didn't ask to be torn apart and put back together over and over, and turned into some– some little monster!
[Crying]
Quill
Rocket, no one's calling you a monster.
Rocket
He called me "vermin"! She called me "rodent"! Let's see if you can laugh after five or six good shots through your FRICKIN FACE!
[Points at Drax; Gamora; Draws his rifle at Drax]
Quill
No, no, no, no! FOUR BILLION UNITS! Rocket! Come on, man! Hey, suck it up for one more lousy night and you're rich!
Rocket
Fine. But I can't promise when all this is over, I'm not gonna kill every last one of you jerks.
[He finally lowers his rifle]
Quill
See?! That's exactly why none of you have any friends! Five seconds after you meet somebody, you're already trying to kill them!
[turning to Drax and Gamora]
Drax
We have traveled halfway across the quadrants! And Ronan is no closer to being dead.
[leaves the bar]
Quill
Drax!
Gamora
Let him go. We don't need him.
