Gamora

And Quill? Your ship is filthy.

Quill

Oh, she has no idea. If I had a black light, this place would look like a Jackson Pollock painting.

Rocket
[Disgusted]

You got issues, Quill.

Gamora

I'm a warrior, an assassin. I do not dance.

Quill

Really? Well, on my planet, we have a legend about people like you. It's called Footloose. And in it, a great hero, named Kevin Bacon, teaches an entire city full of people with sticks up their butts that, dancing, well, is the greatest thing there is.

Gamora

Who put the sticks up their butts? That is cruel.

Quill
[Star-Lord notices Groot, Rocket and Drax fighting in the bar]

Oh, no.

Gamora
[He and Gamora step into the bar as the brawling continues; Gamora pulls Drax off of Groot]

Stop it!

Quill
[Rocket aims his rifle at Drax, but before he can fire, Star-Lord steps in to break it up]

Whoa! Whoa! What are you doing?!

This vermin speaks of affairs he knows nothing about!

Rocket

That is true!

HE HAS NO RESPECT!

Rocket

That is also true!

Quill

HOLD ON, HOLD ON!

Rocket

Keep callin' me "vermin", tough guy! You just wanna laugh at me, like everyone else!

Quill

Rocket, you're drunk. All right? No one's laughing at you.

Rocket

He thinks I'm some stupid thing! He does! [Crying] Well, I didn't ask to get made! I didn't ask to be torn apart and put back together over and over, and turned into some... some little monster!

Quill

Rocket, no one's calling you a monster.

Rocket
[Points at Drax]

He called me "vermin"! She [Gamora] called me "rodent"! Let's see if you can laugh after five or six good shots through your FRICKIN' FACE! [Draws his rifle at Drax]

Quill

No, no, no, no! FOUR BILLION UNITS!! Rocket!! Come on, man! Hey, suck it up for one more lousy night and you're rich!

Rocket
[After an uneasy silence] [He finally lowers his rifle]

Fine. But I can't promise when all this is over, I'm not gonna kill every last one of you jerks.

Quill

See?! [turning to Drax and Gamora] That's exactly why none of you have any friends! Five seconds after you meet somebody, you're already trying to kill them!

Gamora
[After the Infinity Stone contained in the Orb destroys Tivan's museum]

How could I think Tivan could contain whatever was within the Orb?

Rocket
[Altogether shocked and shaken]

WHAT DO YOU STILL HAVE IT FOR!?!

Quill

Well, what were we gonna do? Leave it in there?

Rocket
[Ignoring Quill]

I can't believe you had that in your purse!

Quill
[Defensive]

It's not a purse; it's a knapsack!

Gamora

We have to take this to the Nova Corps. There's a chance they can contain it.

Rocket

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! We're wanted by the Nova Corps!! Just give it to Ronan!

Quill

What, so he can destroy the galaxy?!

Rocket

What are you? Some saint, all of a sudden? What has the galaxy ever done for you? Why would you wanna to save it?!

Quill

Because I'm one of the idiots who lives in it!

You are a disappointment, sister. Out of all our siblings, I hated you least.

Gamora

Nebula, please. If Ronan gets this stone, he'll kill us all.

[Smiles cruelly]

Not all of us. You will already be dead.

Quill

If you kill me, you're saying goodbye to the biggest score you've ever seen.

The Stone? I hope you got a better idea, 'cause ain't no one stealin' from Ronan.

Quill

We got a ringer. [Glances at Gamora] She knows everything there is about Ronan. His ships, his army…

Gamora

He's vulnerable.

Quill

So what do you think, Yondu? Me and you, taking down scores, side by side, like the old days?

[Yondu glares at Quill...then calls off his dart and hugs Quill] [Laughs]

Ya always had scrote, son! That's why we kept ya up as a kid!

Gamora

We have to stop Ronan.

Rocket

How?!

Quill

I have a plan.

Rocket

You've got a plan?

Quill

Yes.

Rocket

First of all, you're copying me from when I said I had a plan.

Quill

No, I'm not! People say that all the time, it's not that unique of a thing to say.

Rocket

Secondly, I don't even believe you have a plan.

Quill

I have... part of a plan!

What percentage of a plan do you have?

Gamora

You don't get to ask questions after the nonsense you pulled on Knowhere.

I just saved Quill!

Quill

We've already established that you destroying the ship that I'm on is not saving me!

When did we establish that?

Quill

Like, three seconds ago!

I wasn't listening, I was thinking of something else.

Gamora
[Frustrated]

Aaugh...

Rocket
[To Drax]

She's right, you don't get an opinion. [To Quill] What percentage?

Quill

I dunno. Twelve percent.

Rocket

"Twelve percent"?! [Breaks into raucous laughter]

Quill

That's a fake laugh.

Rocket

It's real!

Quill

Totally fake!

Rocket

That is the most real, authentic, hysterical laugh of my entire life, because THAT IS NOT A PLAN!

Gamora

It's barely a concept.

Quill

You're taking their side?!

Groot

I am Groot.

Rocket

So what, "It's better than eleven percent"? What the hell does that have to do with anything?!

Quill
[To Groot]

Thank you, Groot. Thank you. See? Groot's the only one of you who has a clue. [Groot starts eating a leaf on his shoulder]

Quill

I look around at us... and you know what I see? Losers. [The others give him an off look] I mean, like, folks who have lost stuff. And we have, man, we have, all of us. Our homes. Our families. Normal lives. And usually life takes more than it gives, but not today. Today it's giving us something. It is giving us a chance.

To do what?

Quill

...To give a shit, for once, and not run away. I for one am not going to stand by and watch as Ronan wipes out billions of innocent lives.

Rocket

Quill... Stopping Ronan... It's impossible. You're asking us to die.

Quill

... Yeah. I guess I am.

Gamora
[A pause]

Quill, I have lived most of my life surrounded by my enemies. [Stands up] I will be grateful to die among my friends.

[Stands up]

You are an honorable man, Quill. I will fight beside you. And in the end, see my wife and daughter again.

Groot
[Stands up]

I am Groot.

Rocket
[They look expectantly at Rocket] [Resigned sigh]

Aww, what the hell? I don't got that long a lifespan anyway. [Stands up] Well, now I'm standing. You all happy? We're all standing up now. Bunch of jackasses, standing in a circle.

I just wanted to tell you how grateful I am that you've accepted me despite my blunders. It is pleasing to once again have friends. You, Quill, are my friend.

Quill

Thanks.

This dumb tree, he is my friend.

[Groot grunts]

And this green whore, she too is my--

Gamora

OH, YOU MUST STOP!

[Nebula ambushes the team, bent on killing Gamora]

GAMORA! You've always been weak! You stupid, traitorous--

[Drax hits her point-blank with a shot from a bazooka]

Nobody talks to my friends like that.

Gamora

Your wife and child shall rest well, knowing that you have avenged them.

Yes. Of course Ronan was only a puppet. It's really Thanos that I need to kill.

Quill

What should we do next? Something good? Something bad? Bit of both?

Gamora

We'll follow your lead...Star-Lord.

Quill

Bit of both!
[The Guardians leave to their next mission in their ship as the song "I Want You Back" from the Jackson 5 plays]

Gamora
[After the Infinity Stone contained in the Orb destroys Tivan's museum]

How could I think Tivan could contain whatever was within the Orb?

Rocket
[Altogether shocked and shaken]

WHAT DO YOU STILL HAVE IT FOR?!

Quill

Well, what were we gonna do? Leave it in there?

Rocket
[Ignoring Quill]

I can't believe you had that in your purse!

Quill
[Defensive]

It's not a purse; it's a knapsack!

Gamora

We have to take this to the Nova Corps. There's a chance they can contain it.

Rocket

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! We're wanted by the Nova Corps!! Just give it to Ronan!

Quill

What, so he can destroy the galaxy?!

Rocket

What are you? Some saint, all of a sudden? What has the galaxy ever done for you? Why would you wanna save it?!

Quill

BECAUSE I'M ONE OF THE IDIOTS WHO LIVES IN IT!

Gamora

Peter, listen to me. We cannot allow the stone to fall into Ronan's hands. We have to go back to your ship and deliver it to Nova.

Quill

Right, right, okay. I think you're right. Or we could give it to somebody who's not going to arrest us, who's really nice for a whole lot of money. I think it's a really good balance between both of your points of view.

Gamora

You're despicable.

Quill

I...

Gamora

Dishonorable. FAITHLESS! [they see Ronan's ship approaching Knowhere] Oh, no.

[with his knives raised]

At last! [laughs] I shall meet my foe, and destroy him!

Quill

You called Ronan?!

[Ronan's ship lands, Yondu and the Ravagers spots Quill, Rocket, Groot and Gamora.]

Quill! Don't you move, boy! [they start running off] Don't you--! Get out of the way!

[Ronan steps off the ship to face Drax.]

Ronan the Accuser!

You are the one who transmitted the message?

You killed my wife. You killed my daughter!

Gamora
[After Quill saves Gamora from the space]

Quill? What happened?

Quill

I saw you out there. I don't know what came over me, but I couldn't let you die. I found something inside of myself. Something incredibly heroic. I mean, not to brag, but objectively... [Gamora sighs with frustration]

Gamora

Where's the orb?

Quill

It's...well, they got the orb.

Gamora

What?! [just then a door opens and Yondu's men enter]

Kraglin

Welcome home, Peter.
