Peter Quill
[edit]- Last night, I had a dream about when we first met. We were criminals. Friends. And then we became the Guardians.
- I don't need another speech by some impotent whackjob whose mother didn't love him rationalizing why he needs to conquer the universe.
- It looks like... home. It's like a replica of Earth.
- (The High Evolutionary: So, you'd like to joust, would you?) Go to hell, you sick son of a bitch. You killed all those people!
- We were gone for quite a while. But no matter what happens next, the galaxy still needs its guardians.
Rocket
[edit]- We'll all fly away together... one last time... into the forever and beautiful sky.
- The name's Rocket. Rocket Raccoon.
- You didn't want to make things perfect. You just hated the way things were.
Nebula
[edit]- DAMN IT, MANTIS! WHY DON'T YOU EVER THINK?!
The High Evolutionary
[edit]- I created you lot as merely an aesthetic experiment; beautiful numbskulls. But your egos have run wild.
- Find 89P13 and return it to me, or I will destroy your entire civilization, as is my right as your maker!
- I'm not trying to conquer the universe. I'm perfecting it.
- BUT, BUT, BUT, BUT, BUT, BUT!!! That rancid word.
- THERE IS NO GOD! THAT'S WHY I STEPPED IN!
- [mimics Rocket crying] All right, P13! You win the crying contest. Now back in the cage.
- They will die unless you BRING ME WHAT IS MINE!!!
- Look what you done to me! For what? All I wanted to do, was to make things perfect.
Adam Warlock
[edit]- Who threw this thing at me?! Baby.
- Yes, there's something wrong with me! I was stabbed, you extraordinary phallus!
- It looks sad. I really don't enjoy how that's making me feel, actually.
- I am the Warlock, mum, and I am done with being ordered around!
Other
[edit]- Mantis: Don't forget where we came from.
- Groot: I love you guys.
- Gamora: What are you so afraid of in yourself that I need to be something for you?! I don't give a shit about your Gamora. LIFE MADE ME ME!
- Mantis: [yelling loudly] EXPLAINING IT, DICKHEAD!
- Lylla: [last words before her death] Sky...
Dialogue
[edit]- [first lines]
- Mantis: Come on, Drax. Dance.
- Drax: Only idiots dance.
- [Rocket enters the bar, drunk Quill notices Rocket carrying his Zune in his hand]
- Peter Quill: [drunkenly] Hey! Uh-uh! No! [gets up] I told you a million times, you keep your grimy raccoon hands off my Zune! [snatches his Zune from Rocket]
- Rocket: [gets a milk drink from the fridge] I told you a million times, I'm not a damn raccoon.
- [Quill faints, Rocket sips his milk drink]
- Drax: We'll kill anyone who gets in our way!
- Peter Quill: No, not kill anyone!
- Drax: Kill a few people!
- Peter Quill: Kill no people!
- Drax: Kill one guy. One stupid guy who no one loves!
- Peter Quill: Now you're just making it sad.
- Peter Quill: Why are we always getting involved in everyone else’s troubles?
- Rocket: Because we’re the freaking Guardians of the Galaxy.
- 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.
- Ayesha: You removed Adam from his cocoon early, My Leige. He is still a child.
- The High Evolutionary: No, there is something wrong with him even outside all that.
- Adam: Yes, there's something wrong with me! I was stabbed, you extraordinary phallus--!
- Lylla: When sire moves us to the new world, we’re going to need names. I mean, 89Q12, it’s not really a name. So, I would like my name to be Lylla.
- Rocket: That’s a pretty name, Lylla.
- Lylla: Thank you.
- The High Evolutionary: I visited your planet many years ago.
- Peter Quill: Earth hasn’t been my planet in a long time.
- The High Evolutionary: Your people had wonderful spirit. The art, and music, and literature were some of the finest in the universe. Earth would be a fabulous place where it not for the ignorance and bigotry.
- Peter Quill: Okay.
- The High Evolutionary: It inspired me to create Counter-Earth.
- Peter Quill: [exasperated] I don’t care!
- The High Evolutionary: All of the good and none of the bad.
- Peter Quill: I don't need to hear another speech by some impotent whack-job whose mother didn't love him rationalizing why he needs to conquer the universe!
- Peter Quill: [as Nebula tries to open the car door] Push down on it!
- Nebula: What?
- Peter Quill: Push it down.
- Nebula: I am pushing down on it.
- Peter Quill: Push the button. It looks like you’re pushing the keyhole.
- Nebula: The what?
- Peter Quill: There’s a button under the handle! Press that in.
- Nebula: Okay. Now what?
- Peter Quill: Open the fucking door!
- Nebula: [as she opens the door] That is a stupid design. And your instructions were very unclear.
- Mantis: [arguing with Nebula] I know you need to find fault in everyone else to make yourself feel okay... so find it in me!
- Nebula: Oh, GO TO HELL, MANTIS!
- Mantis: But you don't have the right to push him (Drax)! [near tears] It's not his fault he's stupid!
- [Drax looks hurt by Mantis' statement.]
- Nebula: He's a liability.
- Mantis: He makes us laugh and he loves us! How is that a liability?? All you care about is INTELLIGENCE and... and COMPETENCE!
- Drax: Not sure I appreciate this defense...
- Mantis: He has sadness... but he's the only one of you who doesn't hate himself. So I don't care if he's stupid.
- Drax: ...You think I'm stupid?
- Mantis: [beat] Yes.
- The High Evolutionary: YOU! [violently and aggressively throws Rocket across the room] You thought you could escape me?! NO! [violently and aggressively throws him up the ceiling] You think you have some worth in and of yourself without me?! NO! YOU ARE AN ABOMINATION!!! NOTHING MORE THAN A STEP ON MY PATH, YOU FREAKISH LITTLE MONSTER!! HOW DARE YOU THINK YOU ARE MORE, 8-9-P-1-3?!!!
- Rocket: [breaks free and draws his gun] The name's Rocket. Rocket Raccoon. [shoots the High Evolutionary]
- Drax: [after Gamora peels off the High Evolutionary's mask as he falls on his back, revealing his disfigured face] His face came off!
- Rocket: It's a mask.
- The High Evolutionary: Look what you did to me! For what? All I wanted to do was to make things perfect.
- Rocket: You didn't want to make things perfect. You just hated the way things were.
- [last lines; Quill is having breakfast with his grandfather he reunited with]
- Peter Quill: I mean, if she needs help mowing her lawn, I'll do it, but I kinda feel like her son should help. He's gonna sit on the porch and watch me do it. Like he's a 45-year-old man, able-bodied, and I'm mowing his lawn. It just feels weird.
- Jason Quill: Don't get me started.
- Peter Quill: Oh, really? Now I kind of want to know.
