• Rocket Raccoon : But Quill, beating Ronan... it can't be done. You're asking us to die.

  Peter Quill : Yeah... I guess I am.

  [pause] 

  Gamora : [stands up]  Quill, I have lived most of my life surrounded my enemies. I will be grateful to die among my friends.

  Drax the Destroyer : [stands up]  You're an honorable man, Quill. I will fight beside you. And in the end, I will see my wife and daughter.

  Groot : [stands up]  I am Groot.

  Rocket Raccoon : Aww, what the hell, I don't got that long a lifespan anyway...

  [stands up] 

  Rocket Raccoon : Well now I'm standing. Happy? We're all standing now. Bunch of jackasses, standing in a circle.

• Drax the Destroyer : I just wanted to tell you how grateful I am that you've accepted me despite my blunders. It is good to once again be among friends. You, Quill, are my friend.

  Peter Quill : Thanks.

  Drax the Destroyer : This dumb tree is also my friend.

  [Groot grunts] 

  Drax the Destroyer : And this green whore is also...

  Gamora : Oh, you must stop!

• Drax the Destroyer : I can barely see.

  Groot : [Groot releases glowing spores from his body to light up the way ahead] 

  Drax the Destroyer : Where did you learn to do that?

  Peter Quill : I'm pretty sure the answer is: "I am Groot".

  Groot : [Groot nods "yes" to Peter] 

• Drax the Destroyer : Finger on throat means death!

  [kills Korath] 

  Drax the Destroyer : Metaphor.

  Peter Quill : ...Sort of.

• Peter Quill : Yeah, I'll have to agree with the walking thesaurus on that one.

  Drax the Destroyer : DO NOT ever call me a thesaurus.

  Peter Quill : It's just a metaphor, dude.

  Rocket Raccoon : His people are completely literal. Metaphors go over his head.

  Drax the Destroyer : *Nothing* goes over my head...! My reflexes are too fast, I would catch it.

• Peter Quill : I have a plan.

  Rocket Raccoon : You've got a plan? Okay, first of all, you're copying me from when I said I had a plan.

  Peter Quill : I'm not copying you, I have a plan, that's not that unique of a thing to say.

  Rocket Raccoon : And secondly, I don't think you even have a plan.

  Peter Quill : I have part of a plan.

  Drax the Destroyer : What percentage of a plan do you have?

  Gamora : You don't get to ask questions after the nonsense you pulled on Knowhere!

  Drax the Destroyer : I just saved Quill!

  Peter Quill : We've already established that you destroying the ship I'm on is not saving me!

  Drax the Destroyer : When did we establish that?

  Peter Quill : Like three seconds ago!

  Drax the Destroyer : Well I wasn't listening then, I was thinking of something else...

  Rocket Raccoon : She's right, you don't get an opinion... What percentage?

  Peter Quill : I dunno... Twelve percent?

  Rocket Raccoon : Twelve percent?

  [starts laughing] 

  Peter Quill : That's a fake laugh.

  Rocket Raccoon : It's real!

  Peter Quill : Totally fake!

  Rocket Raccoon : That is the most real, authentic, hysterical laugh of my entire life because THAT IS NOT A PLAN!

  Gamora : It's barely a concept.

  Peter Quill : [to Gamora]  You're taking their side?

  Groot : I am Groot.

  Rocket Raccoon : So what, "It's better than eleven percent!" What the hell does that have to do with anything?

  Peter Quill : [to Groot]  Thank you Groot, thank you. See? Groot's the only one of you who has a clue.

  Groot : [Groot begins to chew on a leaf protruding from his shoulder] 

• Peter Quill : [about Gamora]  She betrayed Ronan, he's coming for her. That's when you...

  [draws his finger across his throat in a cutthroat gesture] 

  Drax the Destroyer : ...Why would I want to put my finger on his throat?

  Peter Quill : No, that's the symbol for slicing his throat.

  Drax the Destroyer : I would not slice his throat, I would cut his head clean off.

  Peter Quill : It's a general expression for you killing somebody. You've heard of this. You've seen this, right? You know what that is.

• Drax the Destroyer : [lets Star-Lord into the Milano]  This one shows spirit. He shall make a keen ally in the battle against Ronan. Companion, what were you retrieving?

  [Star-Lord hands him his stereo-player] 

  Drax the Destroyer : You're an imbecile.

• Gamora : [talks to Drax]  You don't get opinions after that nonsense you pulled on Knowhere.

  Drax the Destroyer : I just saved Quill!

  Peter Quill : We've already established that blowing up the ship I'm on isn't saving me.

  Drax the Destroyer : When did we establish that?

  Peter Quill : Like three seconds ago!

  Drax the Destroyer : Well I wasn't listening then, I was thinking about something else.

  Rocket Raccoon : She's right; you don't get opinions.

• Drax the Destroyer : I like your knife, I'm keeping it.

  Moloka Dar : That was my favorite knife.

• [a brawl takes place between Drax and Rocket] 

  Drax the Destroyer : This vermin speaks of affairs he knows nothing about!

  Rocket Raccoon : That is true!

  Drax the Destroyer : He has no respect!

  Rocket Raccoon : That is also true! Keep callin' me vermin tough guy, you just want to laugh at me like everyone else!

  Peter Quill : Rocket, you're drunk, all right? No one's laughing at you.

  Rocket Raccoon : [points at Drax]  He thinks I'm some stupid thing! He does!

  [starts to cry] 

  Rocket Raccoon : 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 little monster!

  Peter Quill : Rocket, no one's calling you a monster...

  Rocket Raccoon : He called me vermin! She called me rodent! Let's see if you can laugh after five or six good shots in your freakin' face!

  [draws a gun] 

  Peter Quill : No no no! Four billion units! Rocket, come on man, suck it up for one more lousy night and we're rich.

  Rocket Raccoon : Fine, but I can't promise when all of this is over I'm not going to kill every last one of you jerks.

  Peter Quill : See, this is exactly why none of you have any friends!

• Nebula : Gamora, you've always been weak! You stupid, traitorous...

  [Drax blasts Nebula] 

  Drax the Destroyer : No one talks to my friends like that.

• Rocket Raccoon : [jumps on Groot who is fighting the sentry bots]  You idiot! How am I supposed to fight these things without my stuff?

  Drax the Destroyer : Creepy little beast!

  [throws a machine gun to Rocket] 

  Rocket Raccoon : Oh yeah!

• Rocket Raccoon : [lands with his minepod on Knowhere next to Groot and Drax]  Idiot, they're all idiots. Quill just got himself captured.

  [yells at Drax] 

  Rocket Raccoon : None of this would've happened if you hadn't tried to take on an frickin' army!

  Drax the Destroyer : You're right. I was a fool. All that anger. All that rage. It just covered my loss.

  [Drax shamefully looks onto the ground] 

  Rocket Raccoon : [Rocket dumbly stares at Drax for a few seconds, then mocks him]  "Aww, boo-hoo. My wife and child are dead."

  [Groot gasps at Rocket's mockery] 

  Rocket Raccoon : I don't care if it's mean. Everybody's got dead people! But it makes no excuse to letting everyone else around get killed along the way!

• Drax the Destroyer : [to Gamora]  Spare me your foul gaze woman!

• Peter Quill : What are you doing?

  Drax the Destroyer : This vermin speaks of affairs he knows nothing about!

  Rocket Raccoon : That is true!

  Drax the Destroyer : He has no respect!

  Rocket Raccoon : That is also true!

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

  Drax the Destroyer : Yes. Of course Ronan was only a puppet. It's really Thanos that I need to kill.

• Drax the Destroyer : I recognize this animal. We'd roast them over a flame pit as children. Their flesh was quite delicious.

  Rocket Raccoon : Not helping!

• Drax the Destroyer : You! Man who has lain with an Askervarian!

  Peter Quill : It was one time, man.

• Drax the Destroyer : [getting drunk in a bar]  Let us put more of this liquid into our bodies.

• Drax the Destroyer : Are you not the man this wench attempted to kill?

  Peter Quill : Well, I mean, she's hardly the first woman to try and do that to me.

  [shows a scar] 

  Peter Quill : Look, this is from a smoking-hot Rajak girl. Stabbed me with a fork. Didn't like me skipping out on her at sunrise. I got, right here, a Kree girl tried to rip out my thorax. She caught me with this skinny little A'askavariian who worked in Nova Records. I was trying to get information. You ever see an A'askavariian? They have tentacles, and needles for teeth. If you think I'm seriously interested in that, then... You don't care. But here's the point.

• Rhomann Dey : I have a family who are alive because of you. Your criminal records have also been expunged. However, I have to warn you against breaking any laws in the future.

  Rocket Raccoon : Question. What if I see something that I want to take, and it belongs to someone else?

  Rhomann Dey : Well you will be arrested.

  Rocket Raccoon : But what if I want it more than the person who has it?

  Rhomann Dey : Still illegal.

  Rocket Raccoon : That doesn't follow. No, I want it more, sir. Do you understand?

  [to Gamora who's laughing] 

  Rocket Raccoon : What are you laughing at? Why? I can't have a discussion with this gentleman?

  Drax the Destroyer : What if someone does something irksome and I decide to remove his spine?

  Rhomann Dey : That's... that's actually murder. It's one of the worst crimes of all, so also illegal.

  Drax the Destroyer : Hmm.

• Drax the Destroyer : Cease your yammering and relieve us from this arson confinement.
