[Rocket enters the bar, drunk Quill notices Rocket carrying his Zune in his hand] [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]
Why are we always getting involved in everyone else’s troubles?
Rocket
Because we’re the freaking Guardians of the Galaxy.
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.
Star-Lord
[Rocket's just been revived by Gamora, Groot and Star-Lord. Meanwhile, Drax, Mantis and Nebula are still on the High Evolutionary's ship where all his test subjects, genetically modified children are being held. Peter then contacts them over the comm system.]
Neblula? Where are you?
Oh, thank god. We're here to get you out of here.
Star-Lord
Out of where?
The High Evolutionary's ship.
Star-Lord
No, I got off the ship.
Star-Lord
Wait, where are you?
On the ship!
Star-Lord
On the ship?!
I didn't lie!
Star-Lord
Why are you on the ship?!
To save you, obviously!
Star-Lord
No, I told you to go back! You got to know by now that I always figure out an incredibly clever way to get out of a fix!
Really?!
Tell him we're coming to save him.
Pay attention or play with the kids, one or the other.
"Play with the kids?"
How did you get out?
Star-Lord
That's not really important.
Groot
I am Groot!
Jumping a thousand feet to your death without a parachute is a clever way of getting out of a fix?!
Star-Lord
Well... [sighs.]
You're all just making up stuff that he's saying, right?
Rocket
The important thing is we're all okay.
[Drax, Mantis and Nebula are all shocked as they hear Rocket's voice for the first time since he was shot.]
Rocket?
Star-Lord
Yeah. He's here. And he's okay.
[Nebula starts crying, happy her friend is alive. Mantis tries to keep her composure as she speaks into the comm.]
Rocket, we love you very much and we're happy you're alive.
Rocket
[tearfully, but smiling.]
Well, that makes you the idiots then.
He's right about that.
[Rocket starts hyperventilating as he hears the sound of his creator's voice over the comms. Meanwhile, the High Evolutionary and several of his guards enter the holding area. All the children start screaming and running away from him.]
BACK IN YOUR CAGES!
Star-Lord
[The High Evolutionary uses his telekinesis to send the three Guardians flying, knocking all of them unconscious.]
Nebula? Nebula, come in!
[The High Evolutionary picks up Nebula's comm to use it himself.]
So, you'd like to joust, would you?
Star-Lord
[exchanges a look of fear between him, Rocket and Groot.]
Go to hell, you sick son of a bitch. You killed all those people!
As I will your friends. I'm sending you the coordinates. They will die unless you BRING ME WHAT IS MINE!!!
Star-Lord
Screw you, you stretch faced, Robocop-looking, Skeletor wannabe, PURPLE NURPLE, PIECE OF-
Star-Lord
[The High Evolutionary crushes the comm in his hand before Star-Lord can finish his insulting tirade.] [beat.]
He hung up.
You think?
Rocket
[The Guardians are gearing up for the final battle against the High Evolutionary. Rocket's only just finished putting his gear back on.]
This could be futile, Quill. He's too powerful.
Star-Lord
Well, then I guess we'll die trying.
Rocket
What is "dying trying" gonna accomplish?
Or we could just give him the badger.
Rocket
Our thing is dying trying!
Star-Lord
[Star-Lord, Gamora, Groot, Rocket and Blurp have entered the hangar bay of the High Evolutionary's ship to save their friends. Star-Lord starts playing No Sleep Till Brooklyn on his Zune, pointing at the nearest doors.]
We go in there, we get Mantis, Nebula and Drax. We move in, we get 'em and we get out.
[A loud thud is suddenly heard behind them so they all take battle stances as something bursts through the wall behind them. However, it turns out to be Drax, Mantis and Nebula riding in on three Abilisks. They then dismount, with Mantis grinning from ear to ear.]
Did that look cool?
Star-Lord
Okay... new game plan. We get the hell out of here, now!
There are thousands of creatures on this ship!
Many of them are children.
And we need to be good joob joob.
Star-Lord
Huh?
It means friends.
If we want to live, we have to leave now! This whole rig is gonna go down any second!
They will all die if we don't help them!
Rocket
[As they argue, Rocket just looks at the hangar bay door, hearing the sounds of distant explosions. He remembers being experimented on, being abused by the High Evolutionary, making his first friends in a cage, seeing them all die before they could all be free and running away from everything. He gives a determined glare and **** his weapon.]
I'm done running...
[No Sleep Till Brooklyn fades back in as Rocket marches towards the door, weapon in hand. Groot soon joins him, followed by Nebula, then Star-Lord, then Mantis, Drax and and Blurp. Gamora lingers for a moment, rolling her eyes in frustration as the empathic Mantis smirks ahead of her. Eventually, Gamora joins the group, as the Guardians of the Galaxy are reunited once more.]
YOU! [ferociously and savagely throws Rocket across the room] You thought you could escape me?! NO! [ferociously and savagely 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?! EIGHT! NINE! P!! ONE!! THREE!!!
Rocket
[breaks free and draws his gun]
The name's Rocket. Rocket Raccoon. [shoots the High Evolutionary]
[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.
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.
