Peter QuillReally? 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.
Peter QuillWell that's just as fascinating as the first 89 times you told me that. What is wrong with Giving Tree here?
Rocket RaccoonWell he don't know talkin' good like me and you, so his vocabulistics is limited to "I" and "am" and "Groot," exclusively in that order.
Peter QuillWell I tell you what, that's gonna wear real thin, real fast, bud.

Drax the DestroyerI just wanted to tell you how grateful I am that you've accepted me despite my blunders. It is good to once again be among friends. You, Quill, are my friend.
Rhomann DeyHimself, mostly. Wanted mostly on charges of minor assault, public intoxication and fraud...

Rocket RaccoonIf we're gonna get outta here, we gonna need to get into that watch tower, and to do that, I'm gonna need a few things. The guards wear security bands to control their ins and outs. I need one.
Rocket RaccoonNo, I really heard they find you attractive.
Peter QuillLook. It's 20 feet up in the air and it's in the middle of the most heavily guarded part of the prison. It's impossible to get up there without being seen.
Rocket RaccoonI got one plan, and that plan requires this frickin' quarnex battery, so FIGURE IT OUT!
[Groot removes the panel, which hits a passing inmate on the head and knocks him out]
Rocket RaccoonNow, this is important. Once the battery is removed, everything is gonna slam into emergency mode. Once we have it, we gotta move quickly, so you definitely need to get that last.
[Groot removes the battery, setting off the alarms]
Rocket RaccoonOr we could just get it first and improvise.
RonanCitizens of Xandar, behold your guardians of the galaxy! What fruit have they wrought?
Peter Quill[dances]Ooh, child, things are gonna get easier. Ooh child, things will get brighter. You listen to these words. Ooh child, things are gonna get easier. Ooh child things'll get brighter. Then bring it down hard! Someday...
Rocket RaccoonAsleep for the danger, awake for the money, as per frickin' usual.

Peter Quill[talks with the rest of the Guardians in private when they are all in doubt]When I look around, you know what I see? Losers.
[Everyone looks at him]
Peter QuillI mean like, folks who have lost stuff. And we have, man, we have, all of us. Homes, and our families, normal lives. And you think life takes more than it gives, but not today. Today it's giving us something. It is giving us a chance.
Peter QuillTo give a shit. And I am not gonna stand by and watch as billions of lives are being wiped out.

Peter QuillSo here we are: a thief, two thugs, an assassin and a maniac. But we're not going to stand by as evil wipes out the galaxy. I guess we're stuck together, partners.
RonanI only ask that you take this matter seriously.
ThanosThe only matter I do not take seriously, boy, is you. Your politics bore me! Your demeanor is that of a pouting child. And apparently you alienated my favorite daughter, Gamora. 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 with your blood.
Peter QuillI come from Earth, a planet of outlaws. My name is Peter Quill. There's one other name you may know me by. Star-Lord.

Rocket RaccoonNone of this would've happened if you hadn't tried to take on an frickin' army!
Drax the DestroyerYou're right. I was a fool. All that anger. All that rage. It just covered my loss.
[Drax shamefully looks onto the ground]
Rocket Raccoon[Rocket dumbly stares at Drax for a few seconds, then mocks him]"Aww, boo-hoo. My wife and child are dead."
[Groot gasps at Rocket's mockery]
Rocket RaccoonI don't care if it's mean. Everybody's got dead people! But it makes no excuse to letting everyone else around get killed along the way!

Nova Prime RaelRonan is destroying Xandarian outposts throughout the galaxy! I should think that would call for some slight response on the part of the Kree.
Kree AmbassadorWe signed your peace treaty, Nova Prime. What more do you want?
Nova Prime RaelAt least a statement from the Kree Empire saying that they condemn his actions. He is slaughtering children, families!
Kree AmbassadorThat is your business. Now, I have other matters to attend to.
Peter QuillWell, I mean, she's hardly the first woman to try and do that to me.
[shows a scar]
Peter QuillLook, this is from a smoking-hot Rajak girl. Stabbed me with a fork. Didn't like me skipping out on her at sunrise. I got, right here, a Kree girl tried to rip out my thorax. She caught me with this skinny little A'askavariian who worked in Nova Records. I was trying to get information. You ever see an A'askavariian? They have tentacles, and needles for teeth. If you think I'm seriously interested in that, then... You don't care. But here's the point.

Rocket RaccoonQuestion. What if I see something that I want to take, and it belongs to someone else?
Yondu UdontaWhen I picked you up as a kid, these boys wanted to eat you. They ain't never tasted Terran before. I saved your life!
Peter QuillOh, will you shut up about that? God! Twenty years, you've been throwing that in my face, like it's some great thing, not eating me! Normal people don't even think about eating someone else! Much less that person having to be grateful for it! You abducted me, man. You stole me from my home and from my family.
