A scene from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 2023
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?

Nebula

Oh, thank god. We're here to get you out of here.

Star-Lord

Out of where?

Nebula

The High Evolutionary's ship.

Star-Lord

No, I got off the ship.

Nebula
[beat.]

You what?

Star-Lord

Wait, where are you?

Nebula

On the ship!

Star-Lord

On the ship?!

Nebula

I didn't lie!

Star-Lord

Why are you on the ship?!

Nebula

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!

Drax
[playing with the children.]

Tell him I said hi.

Nebula

Really?!

Drax

Tell him we're coming to save him.

Nebula

Pay attention or play with the kids, one or the other.

Gamora

"Play with the kids?"

Mantis

How did you get out?

Star-Lord

That's not really important.

Groot

I am Groot!

Mantis

Jumping a thousand feet to your death without a parachute is a clever way of getting out of a fix?!

Star-Lord

Well... [sighs.]

Gamora

You're all just making up stuff that he's saying, right?

Rocket

The important thing is we're all okay.

Nebula
[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.

Mantis
[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.

High Evolutionary

He's right about that.

High Evolutionary
[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!

High Evolutionary
[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!

High Evolutionary

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.

Gamora

You think?
