[a

grenade rolls across the floor toward the trio. It explodes, knocking them backwards. Dr. Strange looks up to see Star-Lord, Drax, and Mantis enter the ship through a hole]
Drax: Thanos!
[throws his knives at Dr. Strange, who conjures a magic shield to stop them. Drax yells and tries to charge, but the Cloak of Levitation wraps itself around Drax's face, tackling him

to the ground. Star-Lord flies up while firing at Iron Man. Iron Man fires back while rocketing upward as well. He fires a rocket at Star-Lord, who dodges, but the explosion throws him backward. Iron Man grabs him and throws him to the deck. Star-Lord activates a device he had attached to Iron Man's chest, which pulls him toward the wall and sticks him there. Spider-Man wakes up to find Mantis

standing in front of him]

Star-Lord: Stay down, clown.

to leap toward Star-Lord, but Star-Lord throws a electrical bola at him, sending him tumbling to the ground]
Drax: [wrestling with the Cloak of Levitation] Die, blanket of death!
[Iron Man frees himself from the wall, flies over to Drax, and pins him under his boot while the Cloak of Levitation flies back to Dr. Strange]

is, or I swear to you I'm gonna French fry this little freak.
Iron Man: Let's do it. You shoot my guy and I'll blast him. Let's go!
[aims his arm cannon at Drax]
Drax: Do it, Quill! I can take it.
Mantis: No, he can't take it!
Doctor Strange: She's right. He can't.

Star-Lord: Oh, yeah? You don't wanna tell me where she is? That's fine. I'll kill all three of you and I'll beat it out of Thanos myself.
[to Spider-Man]
Star-Lord: Starting with you.
Doctor Strange: Wait, what, Thanos? Alright, let me ask you this one time. What master do you serve?
Star-Lord: What

master do I serve? What am I supposed to say, Jesus?
Iron Man: You're from Earth.
Star-Lord: I'm not from Earth, I'm from Missouri.
Iron Man: Yeah, that's on Earth, dipshit. What are you hassling us for?
Spider-Man: So you're not with Thanos?
Star-Lord: *With* Thanos? No, I'm

here to kill Thanos. He took my girl. Wait, who are you?
Spider-Man: [retracts his mask] We're the Avengers, man.
[Star-Lord releases him]
Mantis: You're the ones Thor told us about.
Iron Man: You know Thor?

Strange: Where is he now?

Iron Man: [after subduing Thanos] Is he under? Don't let up.
Mantis: Be quick. He is very strong.
Iron Man: Parker, help. Get over here. She can't hold him much longer. Let's go.
[they start to pull the Gauntlet off]
Spider-Man: We gotta open his fingers to get it off.
Star-Lord:

[flies down in front of Thanos] I thought you'd be harder to catch. By the way, this was my plan. Not so strong now, huh? Where is Gamora?
Thanos: [weakly] M-My Gamora.
Star-Lord: Oh, bullshit. Where is she?
Mantis: He is in anguish.
Star-Lord: Good.
Mantis: He... he mourns.

Drax: What does this monster have to mourn?
Nebula: Gamora.
Star-Lord: What?
Nebula: He took her to Vormir. He came back with the Soul Stone. But she didn't.
Iron Man: [as Quill turns to face Thanos] Okay, Quill, you gotta cool it right now. You understand? Don't, don't, don't

engage. We almost got this off!
Star-Lord: [to Thanos] Tell me she's lying. Asshole, tell me you didn't do it!
Thanos: I had to.
Star-Lord: No, you didn't. No, you didn't.

[explaining why she believes the legend about Crab Key's fire-breathing dragon]

James Bond: I hate to admit it, but, I haven't.
Honey

Ryder: Well, I have.

Crane: [Crane is flying, with Mantis on his hat] Wings of surveillance!
Mantis: Why do you do that?
Crane: Do what?
Mantis: Just 'cause you say "wings of" before something, it doesn't mean that you're doing a special move. It's like me saying "antenna of power!" or "thorax of... making sandwiches!"

Crane: Wings of disagreement.

Kai: [to Crane] Your chi is strong, just like your friend,
[brandishes Mantis talisman]
Kai: the bug.
Crane: Mantis!
[tries to attack Kai but is overpowered]
Kai: Don't worry, little birdie. I'll put your chi to good use: destroying the Jade Palace and *everyone* in it.

Crane: No!
[kicks barrel at Kai, then flies off, but is caught]
Crane: Wings of... Regret!
