Top 50 Quotes From Peter Quill

Peter: [from trailer] Remember what I told you. If you ever feel lost, just look into the eyes of the people that you love.
[Thor looks into Star-Lord's eyes]
Peter: Not me!
Thor: What? Just listening.

Rocket: So, we're saving the galaxy, again?
Peter: I guess.
Rocket: Awesome! We're really gonna be able to jack up our prices if we're two-time galaxy savers.

Peter: 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: 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.

Peter: [notices Drax has been watching him and Gamora] Dude. How long have you been standing there?
Drax: An hour.
Peter: An hour?
Gamora: Are you serious?
Drax: I've mastered the ability of standing so incredibly still... that I become invisible to the eye... Watch.
[slowing starts moving his hand]
Peter: You're eating a Zargnut.
Drax: My movement... is so slow... that it's imperceptible.
Peter: Mmm, no.
Drax: I'm sure I'm invisible.
Mantis: Hi, Drax.
Drax: [after a pause] Dammit.

Gamora: You should have learned.
Peter: I don't learn. One of my issues.

Rocket: But Quill, beating Ronan... it can't be done. You're asking us to die.
Peter: Yeah... I guess I am.
[pause]
Gamora: [stands up] Quill, I have lived most of my life surrounded my enemies. I will be grateful to die among my friends.
Drax the Destroyer: [stands up] You're an honorable man, Quill. I will fight beside you. And in the end, I will see my wife and daughter.
Groot: [stands up] I am Groot.
Rocket: Aww, what the hell, I don't got that long a lifespan anyway...
[stands up]
Rocket: Well now I'm standing. Happy? We're all standing now. Bunch of jackasses, standing in a circle.

Peter: You said you loved my mother.
Ego: And that I did. My river lily who knew all the words to every song that came over the radio. I returned to Earth to see her three times. And I knew if I returned a fourth, well, I'd... I'd never leave. The Expansion... the reason for my very existence would be over. So, I did what I had to do. But... it broke my heart to put that tumor in her head.
Peter: What?
Ego: Now, now, all right, I know that sounds bad...
[Peter continuously shoots Ego with his Quad Blasters]
Ego: [reforming] Who... in the *hell*... do you think you are?
Peter: *You killed my mother*!
Ego: I tried *so hard* to find the form...
The: [changes form to David Hasselhoff] ... that best *suited you*... and this is the thanks I get?
Ego: [changes back] You really need to *grow up*.
[Ego pierces Quill with a beam of energy]
Ego: I wanted to do this together... but I suppose you'll have to learn by spending the next thousand years as a *battery*!

Peter: I have a plan.
Rocket: You've got a plan? Okay, first of all, you're copying me from when I said I had a plan.
Peter: I'm not copying you, I have a plan, that's not that unique of a thing to say.
Rocket: And secondly, I don't think you even have a plan.
Peter: I have part of a plan.
Drax the Destroyer: What percentage of a plan do you have?
Gamora: You don't get to ask questions after the nonsense you pulled on Knowhere!
Drax the Destroyer: I just saved Quill!
Peter: We've already established that you destroying the ship I'm on is not saving me!
Drax the Destroyer: When did we establish that?
Peter: Like three seconds ago!
Drax the Destroyer: Well I wasn't listening then, I was thinking of something else...
Rocket: She's right, you don't get an opinion... What percentage?
Peter: I dunno... Twelve percent?
Rocket: Twelve percent?
[starts laughing]
Peter: That's a fake laugh.
Rocket: It's real!
Peter: Totally fake!
Rocket: That is the most real, authentic, hysterical laugh of my entire life because THAT IS NOT A PLAN!
Gamora: It's barely a concept.
Peter: [to Gamora] You're taking their side?
Groot: I am Groot.
Rocket: So what, "It's better than eleven percent!" What the hell does that have to do with anything?
Peter: [to Groot] Thank you Groot, thank you. See? Groot's the only one of you who has a clue.
Groot: [Groot begins to chew on a leaf protruding from his shoulder]

Mantis: If I touch someone, I can feel their feelings.
Peter: You read minds?
Mantis: No. Telepaths know thoughts. Empaths feel feelings. Emotions.
Mantis: [to Peter] May I?
Peter: All right.
Mantis: [Mantis touches Peter's hand] You feel... love.
Peter: Yeah. I guess, yeah, I feel a general, unselfish love for just about everybody...
Mantis: No! Romantic, sexual love.
Peter: No. No, I don't.
Mantis: [points to Gamora] For her!
Peter: No, no. No, I don't.
Mantis: [points to Gamora] For her.
Peter: No! That is not...
[Drax starts laughing hysterically]
Peter: Okay... That's...
Drax: [still laughing] She just told everyone your deepest, darkest secret!
Peter: Dude, come on, I think you're overreacting a little bit.
Drax: [still laughing] You must be so embarrassed!
Drax: [to Mantis] Do me! Do me! Do me!
[Mantis touches Drax and she starts laughing hysterically]
Mantis: I've never felt such humor!
Peter: So unbelievably uncool.
Drax: Oh, Quill...
[Mantis walks over to Gamora to touch her]
Gamora: Touch me, and the *only* thing you're gonna feel is a broken jaw.

Peter: You put your turd in my bed, I shave you.
Rocket: Oh, it won't be my turd. It'll be Drax's.
Drax: [laughs] I have famously huge turds.

Drax: [Looking at Batteries] What are they called again?
Peter: Anulax batteries.
Drax: Harbulary batteries.
Peter: That's nothing like what I just said.

Peter: [to Gamora] You're a good looking girl. You should try to be more nice to people.

Rocket: Do you know why I did it, Star-Munch? Hmm?
Peter: I'm not gonna answer to "Star-Munch."
Rocket: I did it because I wanted to!
Peter: Dick.
Rocket: What are we even talking about this for? We just had a little man save us by blowing up fifty ships!
Drax: How little?
Rocket: [holding his thumb and forefinger close together] Well, I don't know, like this?
Gamora: [skeptically] A little one-inch man saved us?
Rocket: Well, if he got closer, I'm sure he would be much larger.
Peter: It's how eyesight works, you stupid raccoon.
Rocket: *Don't call me a racoon*!
Peter: I'm sorry. I took it too far. I meant trash panda.
[Rocket looks around in confusion]
Rocket: Is that better?
Drax: I don't know.
Peter: [snickering] It's worse. It's so much worse.

[a brawl takes place between Drax and Rocket]
Drax the Destroyer: This vermin speaks of affairs he knows nothing about!
Rocket: That is true!
Drax the Destroyer: He has no respect!
Rocket: That is also true! Keep callin' me vermin tough guy, you just want to laugh at me like everyone else!
Peter: Rocket, you're drunk, all right? No one's laughing at you.
Rocket: [points at Drax] He thinks I'm some stupid thing! He does!
[starts to cry]
Rocket: Well, I didn't ask to get made! I didn't ask to be torn apart and put back together over and over and turned into some little monster!
Peter: Rocket, no one's calling you a monster...
Rocket: He called me vermin! She called me rodent! Let's see if you can laugh after five or six good shots in your freakin' face!
[draws a gun]
Peter: No no no! Four billion units! Rocket, come on man, suck it up for one more lousy night and we're rich.
Rocket: Fine, but I can't promise when all of this is over I'm not going to kill every last one of you jerks.
Peter: See, this is exactly why none of you have any friends!

Ego: I created what I imagined biological life to be like... down to the most minute detail.
Drax: Did you make a penis?
Peter: Dude!
Gamora: What is wrong with you?
Drax: If he's a planet, how could he make a baby with your mother? He would smush her!
Peter: I don't need to hear how my parents...
Drax: Why? My father would tell the story of impregnating my mother every winter solstice.
Peter: That's disgusting.
Drax: It was beautiful. You earthers have hang-ups.
Ego: Yes, Drax, I got a penis.
Drax: Ha! Thank you!
Ego: It's not half bad.

Rhomann: Peter Jason Quill. He's also known as Star-Lord.
Nova: Who calls him that?
Rhomann: Himself, mostly. Wanted mostly on charges of minor assault, public intoxication and fraud...
[Quill winds up his finger and flips the bird at the screen which reads: OBSCENE GESTURE ALERT]
Peter: Oh, I'm sorry. I don't know how this machine works...

[from outtake]
Star: Dance-off, bro! Me and you!
Ronan: It's on!

Peter: Yeah, I'll have to agree with the walking thesaurus on that one.
Drax the Destroyer: DO NOT ever call me a thesaurus.
Peter: It's just a metaphor, dude.
Rocket: His people are completely literal. Metaphors go over his head.
Drax the Destroyer: *Nothing* goes over my head...! My reflexes are too fast, I would catch it.

[Quill hands the Stone over to the Ravagers]
Peter: [as they leave] He's going to be pissed when he finds out I switched out the orb on him.
Gamora: He's going to kill you, Peter.
Peter: Oh I know. But he's about the only family I have.
Gamora: No... he wasn't.

[from Trailer]
Mantis: When I touch someone I can feel their feelings.
[touches Quill's hand]
Mantis: You feel... love!
Peter: Yeah, I guess - Yeah, I feel a general unselfish love for everyone.
Mantis: No. *Sexual* love...
Peter: No. No, I don't.
Mantis: [points at Gamora] ... for her!
Peter: No!
[Drax begins laughing hysterically]
Drax: She just told everyone you deepest, darkest secret!
[Drax continues laughing]
Peter: Dude! Come on! I think you're reacting a little bit!
Drax: You must be so embarrassed!
[continues cracking up]
Drax: Do me! Do me! Do me!

Ronan: Citizens of Xandar, behold your guardians of the galaxy! What fruit have they wrought?
Peter: [dances] Ooh, child, things are gonna get easier. Ooh child, things will get brighter. You listen to these words. Ooh child, things are gonna get easier. Ooh child things'll get brighter. Then bring it down hard! Someday...
Ronan: What are you doing?
Peter: Dance-off, bro. Me and you.
[holds out his hand for Gamora]
Peter: Gamora.
[she shakes her head]
Peter: Subtle, taking it back.
Ronan: What are you doing?
Peter: I'm distracting you, you big turd blossom!

Peter: Gamora? I thought I lost you.
[Gamora is actually the one from 2014 who doesn't recognize Quill, and attacks him]
Gamora: This is the one? Really?
Nebula: It was either him or the tree.

[the Guardians bring Thor aboard]
Peter: How the hell is this dude still alive?
Drax: He is not a dude. You're a dude. This... this is a man. A handsome, muscular man.
Peter: I'm muscular.
Rocket: Who are you kidding, Quill? You're one sandwich away from fat.
Peter: Yeah, right.
Drax: It's true. You have put on weight.
Peter: What?
[Drax gestures at his chin and gut]
Peter: Gamora, do you think I'm...
Mantis: [sensing Thor] He is anxious, angry, he feels tremendous loss and guilt.
Drax: It's like a pirate had a baby with an angel.
Peter: Wow. This is a real wake-up call for me. Okay, I'm gonna get a Bowflex. I'm gonna commit. I'm gonna get some dumbbells.
Rocket: You know you can't eat dumbbells, right?
Gamora: [touching Thor's arms] It's like his muscles are made of Chitauri metal fibers.
Peter: Stop massaging his muscles.

[from trailer]
Peter: So here we are: a thief, two thugs, an assassin and a maniac. But we're not going to stand by as evil wipes out the galaxy. I guess we're stuck together, partners.

Peter: [about Gamora] She betrayed Ronan, he's coming for her. That's when you...
[draws his finger across his throat in a cutthroat gesture]
Drax the Destroyer: ...Why would I want to put my finger on his throat?
Peter: No, that's the symbol for slicing his throat.
Drax the Destroyer: I would not slice his throat, I would cut his head clean off.
Peter: It's a general expression for you killing somebody. You've heard of this. You've seen this, right? You know what that is.

Drax the Destroyer: I can barely see.
Groot: [Groot releases glowing spores from his body to light up the way ahead]
Drax the Destroyer: Where did you learn to do that?
Peter: I'm pretty sure the answer is: "I am Groot".
Groot: [Groot nods "yes" to Peter]

Peter: This is weird. We've got a Sovereign fleet approaching from the rear.
Gamora: Why would they do that?
Drax: Probably because Rocket stole some of their batteries.
Rocket: Dude!
Drax: [awkwardly] Right... He didn't steal some of those. I don't know why they're after us. What a mystery this is.

[from fourth mid-credit scene]
Peter: [on teenage Groot] And now I know how Yondu felt.

Drax: The beast's hide is too thick to be pierced from the outside. I must cut through it from the inside.
Gamora: Huh?... No, no! Drax, wait a minute! *Drax*!
[Drax charges at the monster, and leaps down its throat]
Peter: [horrified] What is he doing?
Gamora: He said the skin is too thick to be pierced on the outside. So he...
Peter: But, that doesn't make any sense!
Gamora: I tried telling him that!
Peter: Skin is the same level of thickness from the inside as from the outside!
Gamora: I *realize* that.

Denarian: Peter Quill, this is Denarian Saal. For the record, I advised them against trusting you.
Peter: [to Gamora] They got my dick message.
Denarian: Prove me wrong!

[Quill struggles to control the Infinity stone]
Gamora: Peter, take my hand!
[Quill grabs her hand, and Drax and Rocket do the same]
Ronan: You're mortal! How...
Peter: You said it yourself, bitch. We're the Guardians of the Galaxy.
[the Guardians strike Ronan]

Groot: I am Groot.
Peter: Well that's just as fascinating as the first 89 times you told me that. What is wrong with Giving Tree here?
Rocket: Well he don't know talkin' good like me and you, so his vocabulistics is limited to "I" and "am" and "Groot," exclusively in that order.
Peter: Well I tell you what, that's gonna wear real thin, real fast, bud.

Rocket: Does anybody have any tape out there? I wanna put some tape over the death button.
Peter: 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: Nope!
Rocket: Did you ask Nebula?
Peter: Yes!
Rocket: Are you sure?
Peter: I asked Yondu and she was sitting right next to him.
Rocket: I knew you were lying!
Peter: 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: 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: Wait, who are you?
Peter: We're the Avengers, man.
Mantis: You're the ones Thor told us about.
Tony: You know Thor?
Peter: Yeah, tall guy, not that good-looking, needed saving.

Tony: [to the Guardians] We gotta coalesce. Because if all we come out is with a plucky attitude
Peter: Dude, don't call us plucky. We don't know what it means. We're more optimistic, yes. I like your plan. Except, it sucks. So let me do the plan and that way it might be really good.
Drax: Tell him about the dance-off to save the Universe.
Tony: What dance-off?
Peter: It's not a thing.
Peter: Like in Footloose, the movie?
Peter: Exactly like Footloose. Is it still the greatest movie in history?
Peter: It never was.
Tony: Don't encourage this, all right? We're getting no help from Flash Gordon here.
Peter: Flash Gordon? That's a compliment. Don't forget, I'm half human. So that 50% of me that's stupid that's 100% you.

Peter: Sometimes, the thing you've been looking for your whole life is right there beside you all along.
Drax: [next to Peter] You're right!

[last lines]
Peter: What should we do next: Something good, something bad? Bit of both?
Gamora: We'll follow your lead, Star-Lord.
Peter: A bit of both!

Peter: [talks with the rest of the Guardians in private when they are all in doubt] When I look around, you know what I see? Losers.
[Everyone looks at him]
Peter: I mean like, folks who have lost stuff. And we have, man, we have, all of us. Homes, and our families, normal lives. And you think life takes more than it gives, but not today. Today it's giving us something. It is giving us a chance.
Rocket: To do what?
Peter: To give a shit. And I am not gonna stand by and watch as billions of lives are being wiped out.

[Groot is playing a video game called Defender. Peter Quill turns to Groot]
Peter: Groot, put that thing away. Now, I don't wanna tell you again... Groot?
Groot: [in a mocking tone] I am Groot!
Peter: Whoa!
Rocket: Language!
Mantis: Hey!
Drax: Wow.
Peter: You got some acorns on you, kid.
Rocket: Ever since you got a little sap, you're a total D-hole.
[turns to Groot, angrily]
Rocket: Now, keep it up and I'm gonna smash that thing to pieces!

Star: Here you go.
[Quill presents the prosthetic leg Rocket requested]
Rocket: Oh, I was just kidding about the leg. I just need these two things.
Star: What?
Rocket: [laughing] No, I thought it'd be funny! Was it funny? No, wait, what'd he look like hopping around?
Star: I had to transfer him 30,000 units!
Rocket: [chittering laughter]

Gamora: [talks to Drax] You don't get opinions after that nonsense you pulled on Knowhere.
Drax the Destroyer: I just saved Quill!
Peter: We've already established that blowing up the ship I'm on isn't saving me.
Drax the Destroyer: When did we establish that?
Peter: Like three seconds ago!
Drax the Destroyer: Well I wasn't listening then, I was thinking about something else.
Rocket: She's right; you don't get opinions.

Drax the Destroyer: I just wanted to tell you how grateful I am that you've accepted me despite my blunders. It is good to once again be among friends. You, Quill, are my friend.
Peter: Thanks.
Drax the Destroyer: This dumb tree is also my friend.
[Groot grunts]
Drax the Destroyer: And this green whore is also...
Gamora: Oh, you must stop!

Korath the Pursuer: Star-Lord!
Peter: Finally!

Peter: Well, you may not be mortal, but me...
Ego: No, Peter... death will remain a stranger to both of us, as long as the light burns within the planet.
Peter: I'm immortal?
Ego: Mmm-hmm.
Peter: Really?
Ego: Yes! As long as the light exists.
Peter: And, I could use the light to build cool things like, how you made this whole planet?
Ego: Well, it might take you a few million years of practice before you get really good at it. But, yes!
Peter: What! This is... Well, get ready for a 800-foot statue of Pac-Man with Skeletor and Heather Locklear...
Ego: You can do anything you want.
Peter: I'm gonna make some weird shit.

Nova: The fate of 12 billion people is in your hands.
Peter: Hold on a second, you're being serious right now?

Gamora: I'm a warrior, an assassin. I don't dance.
Peter: Really? Well, on my planet, we have a legend about people like you. It's called Footloose. And in it, a great hero, named Kevin Bacon, teaches an entire city full of people with sticks up their butts that, dancing, well, is the greatest thing there is.
Gamora: ...Who put the sticks up their butts?

Drax the Destroyer: Finger on throat means death!
[kills Korath]
Drax the Destroyer: Metaphor.
Peter: ...Sort of.

Dr. Stephen Strange: Ok, let me ask you this one time: What master do you serve?
Peter: Oh, what master do I serve? What am I supposed to say, Jesus?

[Thanos has Gamora]
Peter: You let her go!
Thanos: Ah, the boyfriend.
Peter: I'd like to think of myself more as a titan-killing, long-term booty call.

Peter: You shouldn't have killed my mom and squished my Walkman.
