Yondu Quotes

Rocket: Does anybody have any tape out there? I wanna put some tape over the death button.
Peter Quill: I don't have any tape. Let me check. Yo, Yondu, do you have any. Ow! Do you have any tape?... Gamora? Do you have any tape? Tape! Ah, never mind. Ow! Drax, do you have any tape? Yes, Scotch tape would work... Then why did you ask me if Scotch tape would

work, if you don't have any? Nobody has any tape!
Rocket: Not a single person has tape?
Peter Quill: Nope!
Rocket: Did you ask Nebula?
Peter Quill: Yes!
Rocket: Are you sure?
Peter Quill: I asked Yondu and she was sitting right next to him.

Rocket: I knew you were lying!
Peter Quill: You have priceless batteries and an atomic bomb in your bag. If anybody's gonna have tape, it's *you*!
[Baby Groot grabs the device and runs off with it while Rocket's back is turned]
Rocket: That's exactly my point! I have to do everything!
Peter Quill: You

are wasting a lot of time here!
[Rocket turns around and see that both the bomb and Groot are gone]
Rocket: [to himself] We're all gonna die.

Peter Quill: I told Gamora how when I was a kid I used to pretend David Hasselhoff was my dad. He's a singer and actor from Earth, really famous guy. Earlier, it struck me... Yondu didn't have a talking car, but he did have a flying arrow. He didn't have the beautiful voice of an angel, but he did have the whistle of one. Both Yondu and David Hasselhoff went on kick-ass adventures

and hooked up with hot women, and fought robots... I guess David Hasselhoff did kind of end up being my dad after all. Only it was you, Yondu.
[tearing up]
Peter Quill: I had a pretty cool dad. What I'm trying to say here is... sometimes that *thing* you're searching for your whole life... is right there by your side all along. And you don't even know it.

[from second mid-credit scene]
Stakar Ogord: You know, it's a shame that it took the tragedy of losing Yondu to bring us all together again. But I think he'd be proud knowing that we're back as a team.
Charlie-27: I'm in.
Martinex: Dope.
Mainframe: I miss you guys so much!
Aleta

Ogord: Hell yes.
Stakar Ogord: What say we steal some shit?

[Peter Quill comes into Groot's room, sees that his room are mess with vines and Teen Groot playing mind-numbing game]
Peter Quill: Ohh! Dude! Seriously? You've gotta clean up your room, it's a complete mess!
Groot: I am Groot.
Peter Quill: I'm not boring, you're boring! You know what's boring? Sitting there, playing that

mind-numbing game, what's boring is me, tripping over your vines every day. I'm not boring!
Groot: I am Groot.
Peter Quill: And now, I know how Yondu felt.

Ego: I hired Yondu to pick you up after your mother passed away. But, instead of returning you, Yondu kept you. I have no clue as to why.
Peter Quill: I'll tell ya why; I was a skinny little kid who could slip into places adults couldn't. Made it easier for thieving.
Ego: Well, I've been trying to track you down ever since.

Drax: I thought Yondu was your father.
Peter Quill: What? You're trying to tell me that this whole time, you thought Yondu was my actual blood relative?
Drax: You look exactly alike!
Rocket: *One's blue!*
Peter Quill: No, he's not my father! Yondu was the guy who abducted me, kicked the

crap out of me so I could learn to fight... and kept me in terror by threatening to eat me.
Ego: [shocked] Eat you?
Peter Quill: Yeah.
Ego: Oh, that son of a bitch!

[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.

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]
