And Quill? Your ship is filthy.
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.
Scenes with Rocket
11 scenes[He and Gamora step into the bar as the brawling continues; Gamora pulls Drax off of Groot]
Stop it!
[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!
HOLD ON, HOLD ON!
Rocket
Keep callin' me "vermin", tough guy! You just wanna laugh at me, like everyone else!
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!
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]
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.
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!
[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!?!
Well, what were we gonna do? Leave it in there?
Rocket
[Ignoring Quill]
I can't believe you had that in your purse!
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!
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?!
Because I'm one of the idiots who lives in it!
Rocket
[After Quill and Gamora are captured by Yondu] [Yelling at Drax]
Blasted idiots, the lot of them! Quill just got himself captured! None of this ever would've happened if you didn't try to singlehandedly take on a FRICKIN' ARMY!
[Ashamed]
You're right. I was a fool. All the anger, all the rage... it was just to cover my loss.
Rocket
[Groot lays a comforting hand on Drax's shoulder] [After watching them for a moment, Rocket starts mocking Drax]
"Aww, boo-hoo-hoo. My wife and child are dead." [Groot gasps at Rocket's mockery] Oh, I don't care if it's mean. Everybody's got dead people! It's no excuse to get everybody else dead along the way!
Rocket
[Drax, Groot and Rocket track down the Ravagers who took Quill and Gamora]
Attention, idiots! The lunatic on the top of this craft is holding a Hadron Enforcer. It's a weapon of my own design.
What the hell?
Rocket
If you don't hand over our companions now, he's gonna tear your ship a new one. A very big new one.
I ain't buyin' it.
Rocket
I am giving you to the count of five. [Quill and Gamora start to panic] Five, four, three--
No, wait! Hold on! Rocket, it's me! For God's sake! We figured it out! We're fine!
Rocket
[Pause] [Nonchalantly]
Oh, hey, Quill. What's going on?
We have to stop Ronan.
Rocket
How?!
I have a plan.
Rocket
You've got a plan?
Yes.
Rocket
First of all, you're copying me from when I said I had a plan.
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.
I have... part of a plan!
What percentage of a plan do you have?
You don't get to ask questions after the nonsense you pulled on Knowhere.
I just saved Quill!
We've already established that you destroying the ship that I'm on is not saving me!
When did we establish that?
Like, three seconds ago!
I wasn't listening, I was thinking of something else.
Rocket
[To Drax]
She's right, you don't get an opinion. [To Quill] What percentage?
I dunno. Twelve percent.
Rocket
"Twelve percent"?! [Breaks into raucous laughter]
That's a fake laugh.
Rocket
It's real!
Totally fake!
Rocket
That is the most real, authentic, hysterical laugh of my entire life, because THAT IS NOT A PLAN!
It's barely a concept.
You're taking their side?!
I am Groot.
Rocket
So what, "It's better than eleven percent"? What the hell does that have to do with anything?!
[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]
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?
...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.
... Yeah. I guess I am.
[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.
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.
Rocket
[Groot intends to sacrifice himself to protect the others]
No, Groot! You can't. You'll die. [Starts crying] Why are you doing this?! Why?
Rocket
Blah, blah, blah. We're all very fascinated, whitey. But we'd like to get paid.
The Collector
How would you like to get paid?
Rocket
What do you think, fancy man? Units!
The Collector
Very well, then...
The Collector
[Carina walks close to the Infinity Stone. The Collector notices her near it.]
Carina. Stand back.
Carina
[last words; enraged]
I WILL NO LONGER BE YOUR SLAVE!
The Collector
NO!
[She then grabs the Infinity Stone, but it's powerful. Quill and Gamora takes cover. She started screaming, Groot grabs Rocket to run out. Carina then explodes into her death. Tivan's museum started to explode as Rocket and Groot jumps out, yelling. Quill and Gamora peeks out.] [sees Tivan's museum destroyed]
What the...
[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?!
Well, what were we gonna do? Leave it in there?
Rocket
[Ignoring Quill]
I can't believe you had that in your purse!
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!
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?!
BECAUSE I'M ONE OF THE IDIOTS WHO LIVES IN IT!
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.
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.
You're despicable.
I...
Dishonorable. FAITHLESS! [they see Ronan's ship approaching Knowhere] Oh, no.
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!
You are the one who transmitted the message?
You killed my wife. You killed my daughter!
Rocket
[While Quill, Gamora and Rocket are boarding the little mining pods.] [to Groot]
I told you, you can't fit. Now, wait here. I'll be back.
