Quotes

 * Nebula: [sneering] Look at you, a Gardener of the Galaxy!

Gamora: It's Guardian! Not gardener. G-U-A-R-D-I-A-N.

Jerry: And you call her the idiot. Your brain is small.
 * Rocket Raccoon: Who the heck be you?

Ego: I'm Ego. I'm Peter's dad.

(silence)

Jerry: You gotta be kidding me.
 * Ego: I am a Celestial.

The Silver Surfer: Oh, boy.

Tom: Run!

Star-Lord: Why the worry? What's wrong with Celestials?

Gamora: Nothing but trouble. Warmongering conquerors.

Quaser: I thought they died out.

Ego: Barely.
 * Kraglin: What are you gonna do with your share?

Nebula: As a child, my father would have Gamora and me battle one another in training. Everytime, my sister prevailed. My father would replace a piece of me with machinery, claiming he wanted me to be "her equal." But she won. Again, and again, and again, never once refraining. So, after I murder my sister, I will buy a warship with every conceivable instrument of death, I will hunt my father like a dog and I will tear him apart, slowly. Piece by piece until he knows some sort of resemblance of the profound and unceasing pain I knew every single day!

Kraglin: Yeah... I was talking about like a pretty necklace, or a nice hat, you know. Something to make the other girls go "ooh, that's nice."
 * Ego: Death will remain a stranger to both of us, as long as the light burns within the planet.

Star Lord: I'm immortal?

Ego: Mmhmm.

Peter Quill: Really?

Ego: Yes. As long as the light lasts!
 * Nebula: [to Gamora] You're the one who wanted to win, but I just wanted a sister. You were all I had, but you just needed to win. Thanos tore my eye from my head and my arm from my body... because of you!  YOU!

Mantis: You lie to yourself. You were to blame. You lacked Gamora's humility.
 * Ego: Our race is nearly ending. To ensure our race's survival, sacrifices needed to be made.
 * Ego: [Referencing Meredith Quill] I visited your mother three times. Colonel Fury was questioning her about me. He woulda tortured the knowledge. I knew if I visited a fourth, I would not leave... and also, he woulda destroyed the only chance to preserve my kind.. As much as it pained me to do it... to ensure our I put that tumor in her head.

(Star Lord's eyes widen..... snapping out)

Jerry: Uh-oh. (smirks)

Star-Lord; What?

Ego: Sacrifices must be made.

Star-Lord: You fraud. Gamora and Norrin Radd warned me, but I chose to trust you. You played me as you did to my mum!!!!!
 * Yondu: He may have been your father, Quill, but he wasn't your daddy.
 * Baby Groot: I am Groot.

Yondu: What's that?

Rocket: He says, "Welcome to the blinking' Guardians of the Galaxy!" Only he didn't use blinking.
 * [while showing Groot how to arm the bomb]

Rocket: All right, first you flick this switch, then this switch. That activates it. Then you push this button, which will give you five minutes to get outta there. Now whatever you do, don't push THIS button, because that will set off the bomb immediately, and we'll all be dead. Now, repeat back what I just said.

Groot: I am Groot.

Rocket: Uh-huh.

Groot: I am Groot.

Rocket: That's right.

Groot: [pointing to the death button] I am Groot.

Rocket: No! No, that's the button that will kill everyone! Try again.

Groot: Hm. I am Groot.

Rocket: Mm-hmm.

Groot: I am Groot?

Rocket: Uh-huh.

Groot: [pointing to the death button] I am Groot.

Rocket: No! That's exactly what you just said, how is that even possible? Which button is the button you're supposed to push, point to it.

[Groot points to the death button]

Rocket: NO! NO! AND FOR THE LAST TIME, NOOOOOOOOOO!

Jerry: Calm down.

Rocket: Easy for you to say. You're not the one trying to get sense into his head. How long til the Surfer shows up?
 * Mantis: Guys. Stop quarrelling, please.

(she points to Groot running)

Groot: I am Groot.

Rocket: A kid with a destructive weapon. Not good.
 * Ego: You turned my son on me!
 * Ego: You turned my son on me!

The Silver Surfer: You did so yourself.
 * Ego the Living Planet: You are but a simple being! I am an entire world!

Galactus: Good. Your words are true. But in all of space, I stand alone! I am Galactus, the be-all and end-all of the universe!
 * Ego: Peter! You betrayed our kind.

The Silver Surfer: Wrong, Ego. You betrayed your kind yourself.
 * Gamora: Nebula, I was a little girl, trying to live day by day, not knowing or understanding what that meant to you. There are many other girls out there, like us. You can stay with us, and help them.

Nebula: I can help them, by killing Thanos.
