Guardians of the Galaxy - Choosing Between Good and Bad Decisions

Quill: What should we do next? Something good? Something bad? Bit of both?
Gamora: We'll follow your lead– Star-Lord.
Quill: Bit of both!

Guardians of the Galaxy - Seeking Vengeance Against Thanos

Gamora: Your wife and child shall rest well, knowing that you have avenged them.
Drax: Yes. Of course Ronan was only a puppet. It's really Thanos that I need to kill.

Guardians of the Galaxy - 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.

Guardians of the Galaxy - A Chance to Fight for Innocent Lives

Quill: [The others give him an off look] 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.
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: [Stands up] Quill, I have lived most of my life surrounded by my enemies. I will be grateful to die among my friends.
Drax: [Stands up] You are an honorable man, Quill. I will fight beside you. And in the end, I will see my wife and daughter again.
Groot: [Stands up] I am Groot.
Rocket: [Resigned sigh; Stands up] 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.

Guardians of the Galaxy - 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: [Frustrated] Aaugh–
Rocket: [To Drax; To Quill] She's right, you don't get an opinion. What percentage?
Quill: I dunno. Twelve percent.
Rocket: [Breaks into raucous laughter] Twelve percent"?!
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: [To Groot; Groot starts eating a leaf on his shoulder] Thank you, Groot. Thank you. See? Groot's the only one of you who has a clue.

Guardians of the Galaxy - Confronting Betrayal and Abduction in Guardians

Yondu: [hits Quill; hits Quill again] You betrayed me?! Stealing my money?!
Gamora: Stop it! Leave him alone!
Yondu: [enraged] When I picked you up as a kid, these boys wanted to eat you! They ain't never tasted Terran before! I saved your life!
Quill: Oh, will you shut up about that?! God! Twenty years you've been throwing that in my face! Like it's some great thing, "not eating me"! Normal people don't even THINK about eating someone else! Much less, that person having to be grateful for it! You abducted me, man. You stole me from my home and from my family.
Yondu: [slamming his chest] You don't give a damn about your Terra! You're scared because you're soft! IN HERE! HERE! RIGHT HERE!
Gamora: YONDU! Listen to me! Ronan has something called an Infinity Stone!
Yondu: I know what he's got, girl.
Gamora: Then you know we must get it back! He's gonna use it to wipe out Xandar. We have to warn them. Billions of people will perish.
Yondu: [turns to Quill; slaps Quill, the Ravagers laugh; whistles, commanding his arrow fly over to point at Quill's throat] Is that what she's been filling your head with, boy? Sentiment? Eating away your brain like maggots! That's it.
Gamora: NO!
Yondu: Sorry, boy. But a captain's gotta teach his men what happens to those what cross him.
Kraglin: [the others grunt in agreement] Captain's gotta teach stuff!
Quill: If you kill me now, you are saying goodbye to the biggest score you have ever seen.
Yondu: [smiles, turns back to Quill and faces him] The Stone? I hope you got something better than that. Because ain't nobody stealing from Ronan.
Quill: We got a ringer.
Yondu: Is that right?
Quill: She knows everything there is to know about Ronan. His ships, his army.
Gamora: He's vulnerable.
Quill: Hey, what do you say, Yondu, huh? Me and you, taking down a mark side-by-side, like the old days.
Yondu: Let him go! Oh! You always did have a scrote, boy! That's why I kept you on as a young'un.
Ravager Pilot: Captain, the shot was non-damaging.
Rocket: Attention, idiots! The lunatic on the top of this craft is holding a Hadron Enforcer. A weapon of my own design.
Yondu: What the hell?
Rocket: If you don't hand over our companions now, he's gonna tear your ship a new one. A very big new one.
Yondu: I ain't buyin it!
Rocket: [Quill and Gamora start to panic] I am giving you to the count of five. Five, four, three–
Quill: No, wait! Hold on! Rocket, it's me! For God's sake! We figured it out! We're fine!
Rocket: [Nonchalantly] Oh, hey, Quill. What's going on?

Guardians of the Galaxy - Unexpected Heroism and Lost Treasures

Gamora: Quill? What happened?
Quill: [Gamora sighs with frustration] I saw you out there. I don't know what came over me, but I couldn't let you die. I found something inside of myself. Something incredibly heroic. I mean, not to brag, but objectively...
Gamora: Where's the orb?
Quill: It's...well, they got the orb.
Gamora: [just then a door opens and Yondu's men enter] What?!
Kraglin: Welcome home, Peter.

Guardians of the Galaxy - Sibling Rivalry in a High-Stakes Situation

Nebula: You are a disappointment, sister. Out of all our siblings, I hated you least.
Gamora: Nebula, please. If Ronan gets this stone, he'll kill us all.
Nebula: [Smiles cruelly] Not all of us. You will already be dead.

Guardians of the Galaxy - The Orb's Unforeseen Consequences

Gamora: How could I think Tivan could contain whatever was within the Orb?
Rocket: [Altogether shocked and shaken] WHAT DO YOU STILL HAVE IT FOR?!
Quill: Well, what were we gonna do? Leave it in there?
Rocket: [Ignoring Quill] I can't believe you had that in your purse!
Quill: [Defensive] It's not a purse; it's a knapsack!
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: [they see Ronan's ship approaching Knowhere] You're despicable. Dishonorable. FAITHLESS! Oh, no.
Drax: [with his knives raised; laughs] At last! I shall meet my foe, and destroy him!
Quill: You called Ronan?!
Yondu: [they start running off] Quill! Don't you move, boy! Don't you--! Get out of the way!
Drax: Ronan the Accuser!
Ronan: You are the one who transmitted the message?
Drax: You killed my wife. You killed my daughter!

Guardians of the Galaxy - Meeting Between The Collector and Gamora

The Collector: [he kisses her hand] Oh, my dear Gamora. How wonderful to meet in the flesh.
Gamora: [as the Collector notices Groot] Let's bypass the formalities, Tivan. We have what we discussed.
The Collector: What is that thing there?
Groot: [the Collector goes over to Groot] I am Groot.
The Collector: I never thought I'd meet a Groot. Sir, you must allow me to pay you now so that I may own your carcass. At the moment of your death, of course.
Groot: I am Groot.
Rocket: Why, so he could turn you into a frickin chair?
The Collector: [to Groot] That's your pet?
Rocket: [Rocket goes to grab his weapon and the Collector chuckles, Gamora intervenes] His what?!
Gamora: Tivan, we have been halfway around the galaxy, retrieving this orb.
The Collector: Very well, then. Let us see what you brought.

Guardians of the Galaxy - 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: [Crying] 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!
Quill: Rocket, no one's calling you a monster.
Rocket: [Points at Drax; Gamora; Draws his rifle at Drax] 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!
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: [He finally lowers his rifle] Fine. But I can't promise when all this is over, I'm not gonna kill every last one of you jerks.
Quill: [turning to Drax and Gamora] See?! That's exactly why none of you have any friends! Five seconds after you meet somebody, you're already trying to kill them!
Drax: [leaves the bar] We have traveled halfway across the quadrants! And Ronan is no closer to being dead.
Quill: Drax!
Gamora: Let him go. We don't need him.

Gamora: [[warrior; [assassin; [dance] I'm a ], an ]. I do not ].
Quill: [[Footloose; [hero; [w:Kevin Bacon|Kevin Bacon] Really? Well, on my planet, we have a legend about people like you. It's called ]. And in it, a great ], named ], teaches an entire city full of people with sticks up their butts that, dancing, well, is the greatest thing there is.

Guardians of the Galaxy - 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: [deadpan] Do not ever call me a thesaurus.
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.

Gamora: The bodies in the caverns, who are they?!

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: [''To Nebula''] You’re right. We’re family. We leave no one behind. Except maybe you.
Gamora: What did she do to me?!
Drax: She already told me everything.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 - 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: [''Awkwardly''; ''The Sovereign fleet open fire''] Right... He didn't steal some of those. I don't know why they're after us. What a mystery this is.
Quill: What were you thinking?!
Rocket: Dude, they were really easy to steal.
Gamora: That's your defense?

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 - A Conversation About Possibility and Distance

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?

Avengers: Infinity War - Gamora on Thanos' Destructive Goal

Gamora: ['''Drax the Destroyer:''' Including my own.] The entire time I knew Thanos, he only ever had one goal: To bring balance to the universe by wiping out half of all life.

Neteyam: Dad, I...
Jake Sully: It's okay. I'm here.
Neytiri: No, no, no, no, no. No!
Jake Sully: It's okay. It's okay, son. I gotcha.
Neteyam: I want to go home.
Jake Sully: I know. I know. It's okay, we're goin home. We're goin home. We're goin home. It's okay. It's okay.
Neteyam: [dies] Dad, I...

Avatar: The Way of Water - Conflict Over Bonding with the Outcast

Ronal: [to Tsireya; annoyed] You allowed this. You allowed him to bond with the outcast!
Tonowari: [to Lo'ak] Tsireya. You disappoint me, daughter. And you, son of a great warrior, who has been taught better.
Lo'ak: Payakan saved my life, sir. You don't know him.
Tsireya: No, Lo'ak.
Tonowari: [to Neteyam, Tsireya and Aonung; blows hard; to Lo'ak] Sit. Sit. SIT DOWN! Hear my words, boy. In the days of the First Songs, tulkun fought amongst themselves, for territory and for revenge. But they came to believe that killing, no matter how justified, only brings more killing. So all killing was forbidden. This is the Tulkun Way. Payakan is a killer, so, he is outcast.
Lo'ak: I'm sorry, sir. But you're wrong.
Neytiri: [whispers] Lo'ak. You speak to Olo'eyktan!
Lo'ak: I know. What I...
Jake Sully: [angry] That's enough!
Lo'ak: I know what I know.
Jake Sully: That's enough. I'll deal with this one.

Neytiri: Demon! I will kill you as many times as I have to!
Colonel Miles Quaritch: I guess you and the Corporal have been pretty busy, haven't you? Dropped yourself a whole litter of half-breeds.

Avatar: The Way of Water - Conflict and Responsibility Amongst Warriors

Neytiri: We must protect the people.
Neteyam: I’m a warrior like you. I’m supposed to fight.
Colonel Miles Quaritch: For our sins in our past life, we have been brought back in the form of our enemy.
Captain Mick Scoresby: Somebody shoot something!

Avatar: Fire and Ash - Conflict Over Loyalty and Voice

Lo'ak: This is-- this is wrong! This is wrong!
Ronal: You do not speak here!
Lo'ak: No! Payakan fought for us, he fought for us!
Jake Sully: Lo'ak.
Lo'ak: He saved your daughter's life! He saved her life!
Ronal: This is not. You do not speak here!
Lo'ak: He defend us!
Ronal: This is council!
Neytiri: Lo'ak.
Tonowari: The elders have spoken.
Lo'ak: The Tulkun are being hunted! They're dying!
Jake Sully: Lo'ak, that's enough.
Lo'ak: NO!
Tsireya: Lo'ak speaks the truth!
Rotxo: No, Tsireya.
Tsireya: NO!
Tonowari: Daughter!
Lo'ak: Payakan is a warrior! He fought for us more than you, or you, more than any of you! HE FOUGHT FOR US!!
Tonowari: Sit down!!
Neytiri: Lo'ak.
Tonowari: Take him from here!
