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!
Nebula
[Drax looks hurt by Mantis' statement.]
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.
