Ego: [singing to Looking Glass - Brandy You're a Fine Girl] She works layin' whiskey down; She serves them whiskey and wine, what a good wife you would be...
Gamora: Drax, why aren't you wearing one of Rocket's Aero-Rigs?
Drax: It hurts.
Gamora: Hurts?
Drax: I have sensitive nipples.
Drax: You Remind me of my daughter
Mantis: Oh. is she disgusting?
Drax: She is Innocent!
Gamora: Either one of you could have gotten us through that field... had you flown with what's between your ears instead of what's between your legs!
Peter Quill: If what's between my legs had a hand on it... I guarantee I could have landed this ship with it.
Peter Quill: I thought your thing was a sword?
Gamora: We've been hired to stop an inter-dimensional beast from feeding on those batteries and I'm going to stop it with a sword?
Peter Quill: It's just... swords were your thing and guns were mine, but... I guess we're both doing guns now. I just didn't know that.
Gamora: Where's Peter?... Rocket, WHERE IS HE?... Rocket. LOOK AT ME! WHERE IS HE?
[Rocket mumbles and shakes his head. Groot points outside. Gamora rises and grabs a weapon]
Gamora: No! I'm not leaving without him!
Rocket: I'm sorry. I can only afford to lose one friend today. KRAGLIN, GO!
Drax:
[Kraglin starts engines. To Kraglin] Wait. Is Quill back?
[Into comms]
Drax: Rocket, where's Quill? ROCKET, WHERE'S QUILL? ROCKET, WHERE'S QUILL?
[Yondu and Rocket are held captive in a cage. Yondu notices Groot walking nearby]
Yondu: Psst! Hey, twig! Come here. Come on.
[Groot approaches the cage. He looks sad]
Rocket: [sighs] Aw, man... what did they do to you?
Yondu: [smiles] Hey, you wanna help us get outta here?
[Groot nods]
Yondu: There's something I need you to get, and bring back to me. In the captain's quarters, there's a prototype fin... the thing I wore on my head. There's a drawer next to the bunk. It's in that. It's red. You got it?
[Groot nods and rushes away. Yondu smiles, thinking the problem is solved. Rocket rolls his eyes and sighs. Groot quietly passes by the sleeping Ravagers.
He returns with... Yondu's underwear. Rocket facepalms]
Yondu: [dryly] That's my underwears.
Rocket: Yeah, I was pretty sure he didn't know what you were talkin' about. You have to explain it more careful.
Yondu: [slowly] It's a prototype fin.
[Groot brings a orloni. The rodent screeches furiously, attempting to break
free]
Rocket: That's an orloni. It's a fin, Groot.
Yondu: You explain it this time.
Rocket: All right.
[next, Groot brings a prosthetic eye]
Yondu: That's Vorker's eye. He takes it out when he sleeps. Go. Look again.
[Groot starts walking away]
Rocket: But leave the
eye here.
Yondu: Why?
Rocket: [laughs] He's gonna wake up tomorrow... and he's not gonna know... where his eye is! Ha-ha-ha!
[next, Groot brings a desk. Yondu and Rocket nearly freak out]
Yondu: That's a desk.
Rocket: [to Groot] We told you it was this big.
[next, Groot brings a severed
human toe. Yondu and Rocket feel sick]
Rocket: Tell me you guys have a refrigerator somewhere... with a bunch of severed human toes.
[Yondu shakes his head]
Rocket: Okay. Then let's just agree to never discuss this.
[Yondu removes a leaf-shaped ornament from his suit and shows it to Groot]
Yondu: The drawer you
wanna open has this symbol on it. Okay?
[Yondu hands the ornament to Groot. Groot examines it, confused, then places it on his head]
Yondu: What? No!
Rocket: He thinks you want him to wear it as a hat.
Yondu: [angrily] That's not what I said!
Groot: I am Groot.
Rocket:
He's relieved you don't want him to.
Groot: I am Groot.
[first lines]
Meredith Quill: [sing along with the song Brandy] There's a girl in this harbor town / And she works layin' whiskey down / They say, Brandy, fetch another round / She serves them whiskey and wine / The sailors say, Brandy, you're a fine girl.
Rocket: Whoa! Whoa. There must be some kind of peaceful resolution to this, fellas... or even a violent one where I'm standing over there.
Ego: [Peter has 'Brandy' by Looking Glass playing on the walkman] It's fortuitous that you're listening to this song.
Peter Quill: You know...?
Ego: 'Brandy' by Looking Glass. A favorite of your mom's. One of Earth's greatest musical compositions; perhaps its very greatest.
Peter Quill: Yeah.
Ego: You and I, Peter, we're the sailor in the song.
[Begins speaking the lyrics as they play]
Ego: He came on a summer's day / Bringing gifts from far away - like the child I put in your mother, or the freedom you brought Gamora.
[pause]
Ego: Brandy, you're a fine girl / What a good wife you would be / But my life, my
love, my lady is the sea. The sea calls the sailor back. He loves the girl, but that's not his place.
Gamora: We need to find Peter now and get off this damn planet.
Mantis: Ego will have won him to his side by now. He has a way...
Nebula: Then we just go!
Gamora: No! He's our friend.
Nebula: All any of you do is yell at each other. You are not friends.
Drax:
You're right. We're family. We leave no one behind.
[looking at Nebula]
Drax: Except maybe you.
Nebula: [shakes her head in disbelief] Oh, my God.
Rocket: He hates hats.
Groot: I am Groot.
Rocket: On anyone, not just himself.
Groot: I am Groot.
Rocket: One minute you think someone has a weird-shaped head... the next minute it's just because you realize part of that head is the hat. That's why you don't like hats?
[Groot
nods]
Yondu: [impatiently] This is an important conversation right now?
[Groot goes again. He finds a drawer with a symbol similar to the shape of the ornament Yondu gave him. After making sure the ornament matches the symbol, Groot extends his arms and opens the drawer. He searches its contents and retrieves... a small box of candies. Groot rejoices, when suddenly
he hears a voice near him]
Kraglin: That ain't it.
[Kraglin finds the fin. He approaches the cage with Groot and hands the fin to Yondu. Yondu glares at him]
Kraglin: [ashamed] I didn't mean to do a mutiny. They killed all my friends.
[pause]
Yondu: [sharply] Get the third quadrant ready for release.
[Kraglin salutes and places Groot behind the bars of the cage, then starts walking away]
Rocket: One more thing.
[Kraglin stops]
Rocket: You got any clones of Quill's old music on the ship?
[Kraglin looks strangely at Rocket]
Peter Quill: [as they fight Ego] Guess I should be glad I was a skinny kid. Otherwise, you'd have delivered me to this maniac.
Yondu: You still reckon that's the reason I kept you around, you idiot?
Peter Quill: That's what you told me, you old doofus.
Yondu: Once I figured out what happened to them other
kids, I wasn't just gonna hand you over!
Peter Quill: You said you were going to eat me!
Yondu: That was being funny.
Peter Quill: Not to me!
