Gamora: [After saving Nebula, only to be a stranglehold] Are you kidding me?!
Nebula: [Fights Gamora and chokes her while holding out the Godslayer, but ultimately doesn't kill her] I win. I win. I bested you in combat.
Gamora: No. I saved your life.
Nebula: Well, you were stupid enough to let me live.
Gamora: You let me live.
Nebula: I don't need you always trying to beat me!
Gamora: I'm not the one who just flew across the universe, just because I wanted to win.
Nebula: Do not tell me what I want.
Gamora: I don't need to tell you what you want, it's obvious!
Nebula: You're the one who wanted to win, and I just wanted a sister! You were all I had. But you were the one who needed to win. Thanos pulled my eye from my head, and my brain from my skull, and my arm from my body. Because of you.

[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: Nebula, I was a child like you, trying to live day by day, not knowing or understanding what that meant to you. There are many other girls out there, like us. You can stay with us, and help them.
Nebula: I will help them, by killing Thanos.
Gamora: I don't know if that's possible.
[Nebula goes to leave, only for Gamora to stop her from doing so. Nebula gets ready to fight, only to stop once she realizes that's not what Gamora's trying to do]
Gamora: You will always be my sister.
[Gamora embraces Nebula in a hug. She stiffens up at first, then eventually hugs Gamora back, before finally departing]
