Your wife and child shall rest well, knowing that you have avenged them.

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.

Confrontation Over a Stolen Boat
Jack
Anamaria.
[Anamaria slaps him]
Will
I suppose you didn’t deserve that?
Jack
No, that one I deserved.
Anamaria
You stole my boat!
Jack
Actually— Borrowed. Borrowed without permission, but with every intention of giving it back.
[she slaps him again]
Anamaria
But you didn’t!
Jack
You'll get another one.
Anamaria
I will.
[pointing sharply at Jack]
Will
A better one.
Jack
A better one!

That one.

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.
[To Groot; Groot starts eating a leaf on his shoulder]

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.

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.

Sibling Rivalry in a High-Stakes Situation

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.

Gamora on Thanos' Destructive Goal
Gamora
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. He used to kill people planet by planet, massacre by massacre. If he gets all six Infinity Stones, he can do it with the snap of his fingers, like this.

Unfinished Business Between Quaritch and Neytiri
Colonel Miles Quaritch
That you, Mrs. Sully? I recognize your calling card. Why don't you come out, Mrs. Sully? You and I, we got some unfinished business.
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.

[from mic]
Jake Sully
Where are your sisters? Where are they?
Lo'ak
I don't know.
Jake Sully
Your sisters! Where are they?!
Tsireya
They're on the ship. They're tied up on the ship.
Spider
They're at the moon pool. At the well deck. Midships.
Jake Sully
What?
Spider
Come on, I'll show you. Come on. I'll show you.
Colonel Miles Quaritch
Talk to me, Corporal. I need somethin', Jake or there's gonna be consequences.
[from mic]
Jake Sully
Yeah, I hear you.

Confronting Betrayal and Abduction in Guardians
Yondu
You betrayed me?! Stealing my money?!
[hits Quill; hits Quill again]
Gamora
Stop it! Leave him alone!
Yondu
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!
[enraged]
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
You don't give a damn about your Terra! You're scared because you're soft! IN HERE! HERE! RIGHT HERE!
[slamming his chest]
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
Is that what she's been filling your head with, boy? Sentiment? Eating away your brain like maggots! That's it.
[turns to Quill; slaps Quill, the Ravagers laugh; whistles, commanding his arrow fly over to point at Quill's throat]
Gamora
NO!
Yondu
Sorry, boy. But a captain's gotta teach his men what happens to those what cross him.
Kraglin
Captain's gotta teach stuff!
[the others grunt in agreement]
Quill
If you kill me now, you are saying goodbye to the biggest score you have ever seen.
Yondu
The Stone? I hope you got something better than that. Because ain't nobody stealing from Ronan.
[smiles, turns back to Quill and faces him]
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
I am giving you to the count of five. Five, four, three–
[Quill and Gamora start to panic]
Quill
No, wait! Hold on! Rocket, it's me! For God's sake! We figured it out! We're fine!
Rocket
Oh, hey, Quill. What's going on?

Unexpected Heroism and Lost Treasures
Gamora
Quill? What happened?
Quill
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 sighs with frustration]
Gamora
Where's the orb?
Quill
It's...well, they got the orb.
Gamora
What?!
[just then a door opens and Yondu's men enter]

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.

Meeting Between The Collector and Gamora
The Collector
Oh, my dear Gamora. How wonderful to meet in the flesh.
[he kisses her hand]
Gamora
Let's bypass the formalities, Tivan. We have what we discussed.
[as the Collector notices Groot]
The Collector
What is that thing there?
Groot
I am Groot.
[the Collector goes over to 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
That's your pet?
[to Groot]
Rocket
His what?!
[Rocket goes to grab his weapon and the Collector chuckles, Gamora intervenes]
Gamora
Tivan, we have been halfway around the galaxy, retrieving this orb.
The Collector
Very well, then. Let us see what you brought.

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.

Conflict Over Bonding with the Outcast
Ronal
You allowed this. You allowed him to bond with the outcast!
[to Tsireya; annoyed]
Tonowari
Tsireya. You disappoint me, daughter. And you, son of a great warrior, who has been taught better.
[to Lo'ak]
Lo'ak
Payakan saved my life, sir. You don't know him.
Tsireya
No, Lo'ak.
Tonowari
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.
[to Neteyam, Tsireya and Aonung; blows hard; to Lo'ak]
Lo'ak
I'm sorry, sir. But you're wrong.
Neytiri
Lo'ak. You speak to Olo'eyktan!
[whispers]
Lo'ak
I know. What I...
Jake Sully
That's enough!
[angry]
Lo'ak
I know what I know.
Jake Sully
That's enough. I'll deal with this one.

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.

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

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!!

Tonowari
Take him from here!
