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!
  • 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.
