Peter Quill: Everybody, stay where you are, chill the eff out... [Quill powers off his helmet] I'm gonna ask you this one time. Where is Gamora?
Tony Stark: [De-helmeting] Yeah, I'll do you one better. Who's Gamora?
Drax: [to Quill] I'll do you one better. Why is Gamora?
Peter Quill: Tell me where the girl is, or I swear to you, I'm gonna French-fry this little freak. [Points his blaster to Spider-Man's face]
Tony Stark: Let's do it! You shoot my guy and I'll blast him! [Tony extends his nanotech cannon at Drax's face] Let's go!
Drax: Do it, Quill! I can take it.
Mantis: No, he can't take it!
Dr. Stephen Strange: [Completely deadpan] She's right. You can't.
Peter Quill: Oh yeah? You don't wanna tell me where she is? That's fine. I'll kill all three of you and I'll beat it out of Thanos myself. [To Spider-Man] Starting with you.
Dr. Stephen Strange: Wait, what? Thanos? [Trying to inject clarity and sanity into the situation] Alright, let me ask you this one time: What master do you serve?
Peter Quill: What master do I serve? What am I supposed to say, "Jesus"?
Tony Stark: You're from Earth.
Peter Quill: I'm not from Earth, I'm from Missouri.
Tony Stark: Yeah, that's on Earth, dipshit. What are you hassling us for?
Peter Parker: [Sounding slightly crushed] So you're not with Thanos?
Peter Quill: With Thanos? No, I'm here to kill Thanos. He took my girl. Wait, who are you?
Peter Parker: [De-helmeting] We're the Avengers, man.
Mantis: You're the ones Thor told us about!
Tony Stark: You know Thor?
Peter Quill: Yeah, tall guy, not that good-looking, needed saving.
Dr. Stephen Strange: Where is he now?
Tony Stark: [De-helmeting] Yeah, I'll do you one better. Who's Gamora?
Drax: [to Quill] I'll do you one better. Why is Gamora?

Quill: Hey, can I ask you a personal question?
Mantis: [Shocked] No! No one has ever asked me a personal question!
Quill: Your antennae, what are they for?
Mantis: Their purpose?
Drax: Yes. Quill and I have a bet.
Quill: Dude, you're not supposed to say that…
Drax: I say: if you are about to go through a doorway that is too low, your antenna will feel this and keep you from being decapitated.
Quill: Right. And, if it's anything other than specifically being decapitated by a doorway, I win.
Mantis: They are not for feeling doorways! [Drax groans, and Quill pulls a victory fist] I think they have something to do with my emphatic abilities.
Gamora: What are those?
Mantis: If I touch someone, I can feel their feelings.
Quill: You read minds?
Mantis: No. Telepaths know thoughts. Empaths feel feelings, emotions. May I?
Quill: Alright.
Mantis: [Touches Quill's hand] You feel…love!
Quill: Yeah, I guess I feel a general, unselfish love for just about everybody around me…
Mantis: No. Romantic, sexual love.
Quill: No. No, I don't.
Mantis: For her! [Points at Gamora]
Quill: Nooo, that is not....
[Beat as Gamora and Drax both stare at Quill]
Quill: [Drax bursts into uproariously loud laughter] Okay. That's--
Drax: She just told everyone your deepest, darkest secret!
Quill: Dude, come on, I think you're overreacting a little bit.
Drax: You must be so embarrassed! [To Mantis] Do me! Do me, do me!
Mantis: [Touches Drax's chest and immediately starts laughing with him] I have never felt such humor!
Quill: So unbelievably uncool.
Mantis: [Shocked] No! No one has ever asked me a personal question!
Quill: Your antennae, what are they for?
Mantis: Their purpose?
Drax: Yes. Quill and I have a bet.

Mantis: [Shaking Drax awake] Drax, Drax. Drax! Drax! We need to talk!
Drax: I'm sorry. But I like a woman with some meat on her bones.
Mantis: [Confused] What?
Drax: [With complete sincerity] I tried to let you down easily by telling you that you were disgusting.
Mantis: No, that's not what I… [Drax starts retching] What are you doing?
Drax: Ugh, I'm imagining…being with you physically.
Mantis: Drax, I don't like you like that. I don't even mate with the type of thing you are.
Drax: Hey! There's no need to get personal.
Mantis: Listen! Ego has gotten exactly what he wanted. I should have told you earlier. I am stupid! You are in danger!
Drax: I'm sorry. But I like a woman with some meat on her bones.
Mantis: [Confused] What?
Drax: [With complete sincerity] I tried to let you down easily by telling you that you were disgusting.
Mantis: No, that's not what I… [Drax starts retching] What are you doing?

[Gamora grabs Mantis by the neck and slams her against a wall]
Drax: Hey!
Gamora: Who are you people?! What is this place?!
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]
Ego: I call it the Expansion. It is my purpose. And now it’s yours as well.
Quill: It’s beautiful.
Ego: Over thousands of years I implanted thousands of extensions of myself on thousands of worlds. I need to fulfill life’s one true purpose… to grow and spread…covering all that exists… until everything is… me.
Gamora: [reacting with Mantis' powers] What did she do to me?
Drax: She already told me everything.
Ego: I only had one problem. A single Celestial doesn’t have enough power for such an enterprise. But two Celestials… well, now, that just might do.
Mantis: The bodies… are his children.
Ego: Out of all my labors… the most beguiling was…attempting to graft my DNA with that of another species. I hoped the result of such a coupling would be enough…to power the Expansion. I had Yondu deliver some of them to me. It broke the Ravager code, but I compensated him generously… and to ease his conscience, I said I’d never hurt them. I mean, that was true. They never felt a thing. But one after the other, they failed me. Not one of them carried the Celestial genes. Until you, Peter. Out of all my spawn… only you carried the connection to the light.
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: You’re right. We’re family. We leave no one behind. [To Nebula] Except maybe you.
Nebula: Oh my god...
Ego: For the first time in my existence... I am truly NOT ALONE! [Turns to see Peter looking doubtful] What is it, son?
Quill: My friends...
Ego: Now, well, you see, that's the mortal in you, Peter.
Quill: Yes...
Ego: We are beyond such things.
Quill: Yes...
Ego: Now--
Quill: But my mother... you said you loved my mother.
Ego: And that I did. My River Lily, who knew all the words to every song that came over the radio. I returned to Earth to see her three times, and I knew if I returned a fourth, well... I'd never leave. The Expansion... the reason for my very existence would be over, so I did what I had to do. But... it broke my heart to put that tumor in her head.
Quill: [Outraged, shaking off Ego's influence] What?!
Ego: Now, now, all right, I know that sounds bad--
[Quill repeatedly shoots Ego's avatar with his Quad Blasters, leaving several holes]
Ego: [Reforming] Who... in the HELL do you think you are?!
Quill: YOU KILLED MY MOTHER!
Ego: I tried so hard to find the form... [Changes into David Hasselhoff] ...that best suited you, and this is the thanks I get?! [Changes back] You really need to grow up! [Pierces Quill with a tendril of energy] I wanted to do this together, but I suppose you'll have to learn by spending the next thousand years as a BATTERY!
Drax: Hey!
Gamora: Who are you people?! What is this place?!
Drax: Gamora, let her go!
