Yondu
Stakar. It's been some time.
Stakar Ogord
[Disdainfully]
It seems like this establishment is the wrong kind of disreputable. [He and his crew start to leave]
Innkeeper's Wife: Sir!
Yondu
Stakar!
Stakar Ogord
There’s a hundred Ravager factions. You lost the business of 99 of them by serving one.
Innkeeper's Wife: Please, sir. Please!
Stakar Ogord
[Pushing her away]
Get away from me.
Yondu
[Shouting after him]
YOU CAN GO TO HELL, THEN! I don't give a damn what you think of me!
Stakar Ogord
So what are you following us for?!
Yondu
Because you're gonna listen to what I gotta say!
Stakar Ogord
I don't gotta listen to nothing! You betrayed the code! Ravagers don't deal in kids!
Yondu
I told you before! I didn't know what was going on!
Stakar Ogord
You didn't know 'cause you didn't want to know, 'cause it made you rich!
Yondu
[Desperately]
I demand a seat at the table! I wear these flames, same as you!
Stakar Ogord
You may dress like us, but you'll never hear the hordes of freedom when you die, Yondu, and the colours of Ogord will never flash over your grave. [In a quieter, more sad tone] If you think I take pleasure in exiling you, you're wrong. You broke all our hearts.
Rocket
No offense, but your employees are a bunch of jerks.
Yondu
[quietly, ashamed]
I was a Kree battle slave for twenty years when Stakar freed me. He offered me a place with the Ravagers. Said all I needed to do was adhere to the code. But I was young, and greedy, and stupid. Like you stealing those batteries.
Rocket
That was mostly Drax.
Yondu
Me and Stakar, and the other captains... we weren't so different from you and your friends. The only family I ever had. When I broke the code... they exiled me. This is what I deserve.
Rocket
Slow down, drama queen. You might deserve this, but I don't. We gotta get out of here.
Yondu
Where's Quill?
Rocket
Eh, he went off with his old man.
Yondu
[looking concerned]
Ego?
Rocket
Yeah. It's a day for dumbass names.
Rocket
[Yondu chuckles]
You're smiling! And for a second, I got a warm feeling, but then it was ruined by those disgusting-ass teeth.
Yondu
You like a professional asshole, or what?
Rocket
Pretty much a pro. Why didn't you deliver Quill to Ego, like you promised?
Yondu
He was skinny. Could fit into places we couldn't. Good for thievin'.
Rocket
[not particularly convinced]
Uh-huh?
Yondu
I have a plan to get out of here. But we're gonna need your little friend.
Yondu
[To Groot]
Pst! Hey, twig! Come'ere!
Rocket
Oh, man, what did they do to you?
Yondu
Hey, you want to help us get out of here? [Groot nods] There's something I need you to get, and bring back to me. In the Captain's quarters, there's a prototype fin. The thing I wore on my head. There's a drawer next to the bunk. It's in that. It's red. You got it?
Yondu
[Groot nods and runs off excitedly. He returns with Yondu's underwear]
That's my underwear.
Rocket
Yeah, I was pretty sure he didn't know what you were talking about. You have to explain it more carefully.
Yondu
[Sighs]
It's a prototype fin.
Rocket
[Groot returns with a squirming Orloni]
That's an Orloni. It's a fin, Groot!
Yondu
[Sighs]
You explain it this time.
Rocket
Alright…
Yondu
[Groot returns again with Vorker's prosthetic eye]
That's Vorker's eye. He takes it out when he sleeps. Go, look again.
Rocket
But leave the eye here.
Yondu
Why?
Rocket
[Trying not to laugh]
He's gonna wake up tomorrow, and he's not gonna know where his EYE IS!
Rocket
[Groot returns again dragging a giant metal desk]
That's a desk. We told you it was this big!
Rocket
[Groot returns, holding a severed human toe]
... Tell me you guys have a refrigerator somewhere with a bunch of severed human toes. [Yondu shakes his head] Okay, then let's just agree never to discuss this.
Yondu
[Hands Groot his ravager badge]
The drawer you want to open has this symbol on it, alright?
Yondu
[Groot slowly puts the badge on his head]
WHAT?! NO!
Rocket
He thinks you want him to wear it as a hat.
Yondu
That is NOT what I said!
Groot
I am Groot.
Rocket
He's relieved you don't want him to.
Groot
I am Groot.
Rocket
He hates hats.
Groot
I am Groot.
Rocket
On anyone, not just himself.
Groot
I am Groot.
Rocket
One minute, you think someone has a weird shaped head, and then the next minute, it's just because you realize part of that head is the hat! [To Groot] That's why you don't like hats?! [Groot nods]
Yondu
This is an important conversation right now?
Yondu
[After doing 700 jumps through hyperspace to reach Ego]
WHAT THE HELL YOU DOING, BOY?!
Rocket
I could tell by how you talked about him this Ego's bad news! We’re here to save Quill!
Yondu
For what? Huh?! For honor? For love?
Rocket
No! I don’t care about those things! I wanna save Quill so I can prove I'm better than him! I can lord this over him forever!
Rocket
[Yondu laughs in response]
What are you laughing at me for?
Yondu
You can fool yourself and everyone else, but you can't fool me. I know who you are.
Rocket
You don't know anything about me, loser!
Yondu
I know everything about you. I know you play like you're the meanest and the hardest, but actually, you're the most scared of all.
Rocket
Shut up!
Yondu
I know you steal batteries you don't need, and you push away anyone who's willing to put up with you, 'cause just a little bit of love reminds you of how big and empty that hole inside you actually is.
Rocket
I said shut up!
Yondu
I know them scientists what made you, never gave a rat's ass about you!
Rocket
I'm serious, dude!
Yondu
Just like my own damn parents, who sold me, their own little baby, into slavery! I know who you are, boy! Because you're me.
Rocket
...What kind of a pair are we?
Yondu
The kind that's about to go fight a planet, I reckon.
Rocket
All right, okay! Good, that's-- Wait. Fight a what?
