Drax: Try it then.
Mantis: [pushes the button and yells, affecting Peter] Hello! You were right.

Gamora: How?
Peter Quill: Pure Star-Lord charm. I’m excited for you that you get to see this again for the first time.
Peter Quill: Hi, my name’s Patrick Swayze. I’ve been noticing you for quite a while, and the way that you smile to yourself when you think nobody is looking, it makes my every day a bit brighter.
Gamora: [points her weapon at Ura] We need your hand. And it’s your choice whether it’s on your body or not!
Peter Quill: What are you doing?
Gamora: She was never going to fall for that.
Peter Quill: Dude, she was totally into me, man!
Ura: I kind of thought you were a douchebag.
Peter Quill: Old you would have never done this. You had a purpose higher than yourself. A calling to help people.
Gamora: Give me a break.
Peter Quill: That’s why you left Thanos and formed the Guardians.
Gamora: Except, I didn’t form the Guardians. And I barely left Thanos.

Gamora: Whoever it was that you were in love with, it wasn’t me. It sounds more like her.
Peter Quill: Her?
Nebula: What?
Peter Quill: That’s ridiculous! Don’t even…
Nebula: Do not bring me into this.
Nebula: Don’t look at me like a lost puppy needing a soft place to lie down.

'You weren't born to be a destroyer. You were born to be a dad.' - Nebula (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3) Click To Tweet
Gamora: I got a plan.
Peter Quill: What is it?
Gamora: Everybody, lower your weapons, or I blow this woman’s brains out!
Peter Quill: That’s the plan?
Gamora: Let’s kill that one that looks like a carrot to show we mean business.
Peter Quill: God! Past Gamora is just mean!
Nebula: She was always like that, and yet, I was the bad guy. We are not killing anyone!
Peter Quill: We paid her to help us get in and get out. You’d think that’d mean, “Oh, I’m going to help you do it in a way that no one knows it’s happening.” But no! What she means is, “I’m going to shoot people. Threaten people’s lives!”
Gamora: Shut up!
Peter Quill: And I know you’re probably asking, why would I trust her? Well, that’s a good question. The answer is, we used to be in love. Yeah. She was my girlfriend, only she doesn’t remember it, because it wasn’t her. Because her dad threw her off a magic cliff and she died. And then I lost my temper and nearly destroyed half the universe. Then she came back, out of the past. And there she is. Everyone else who died in the past stayed dead. Not her. Why? Was it the magic cliff? I don’t know. I’m not some fricking Infinity Stone scientist. Just some dumba** Earth dude who met a girl, fell in love. That girl died. And then came back a total d**k.
Nebula: He left out some important information. But that is the gist of it.
