Ronan
With all due respect, Thanos, your daughter made this mess, and yet you summon me.
O The Other
I would lower my voice, Accuser.
Ronan
First, she lost a battle to some primitive.
O The Other
Thanos put Gamora under your charge!
Ronan
Then she was apprehended by the Nova Corps.
O The Other
You are the one here with nothing to show for it!
Ronan
Your sources say that she meant to betray us the whole time!
O The Other
LOWER YOUR TONE!!! I MAY BE YOUR--
Ronan
[Ronan swings his universal warhammer at the Other, killing him; he stares at Thanos, sitting on his floating throne, his back to the Accuser]
I only ask that you take this matter seriously.
T Thanos
[Thanos' throne turns, revealing him]
The only matter I do not take seriously, boy, is you. Your politics bore me. Your demeanor is that of a pouty child. And, apparently, you alienated my favorite daughter, Gamora. [Nebula scowls] I shall honor our agreement, Kree, if you bring me the Orb. But return to me again empty-handed, and I will bathe the star-ways in your blood.
Nebula
Thanks, Dad. Sounds fair.
Ronan
[Quill, Gamora, Drax and Rocket all touch each other after Quill holds the Stone, and with all sharing its burden] [Horrified]
You're mortal! How?!
Q Quill
You said it yourself, bitch. We're the Guardians of the Galaxy.
[Ronan attempts to attack them with his warhammer, but Quill opens his hand with the Stone, releasing its energy into Ronan and destroying him. Then Quill and Gamora seal the Stone in the container]
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?
R Rocket
[Altogether shocked and shaken]
WHAT DO YOU STILL HAVE IT FOR?!
Q Quill
Well, what were we gonna do? Leave it in there?
R Rocket
[Ignoring Quill]
I can't believe you had that in your purse!
Q 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.
R Rocket
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! We're wanted by the Nova Corps!! Just give it to Ronan!
Q Quill
What, so he can destroy the galaxy?!
R Rocket
What are you? Some saint, all of a sudden? What has the galaxy ever done for you? Why would you wanna save it?!
Q 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.
Q 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.
Gamora
Dishonorable. FAITHLESS! [they see Ronan's ship approaching Knowhere] Oh, no.
Drax
[with his knives raised]
At last! [laughs] I shall meet my foe, and destroy him!
Q Quill
You called Ronan?!
Yondu
[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!
Drax
[Ronan steps off the ship to face Drax.]
Ronan the Accuser!
Ronan
You are the one who transmitted the message?
Drax
You killed my wife. You killed my daughter!
Ronan
[Quill is singing and dancing to a faint song playing in the background as a distraction, and Ronan is confused]
What are you doing?
Q Quill
Dance-off, bro! You and me.
Q Quill
[Quill continues dancing like nobody's watching] [offers Gamora to join]
Come on! [Gamora shakes her head "no"] Subtle. Take it back. [aaaaaand back to dancing]
Ronan
What are you doing?
Q Quill
I'm DISTRACTING ya, ya big turd-blossom!
