Ego: I hired Yondu to pick you up when your mother passed away. But instead of returning you, Yondu kept you. I have no clue as to why.
Quill: Well, I'll tell you why. Because I was a skinny little kid who could squeeze into places adults couldn't. It made it easier for thievin'.
Ego: Well, I've been trying to track you down ever since.
Drax: I thought Yondu was your father.
Quill: What? We've been together this whole time... and you thought Yondu was my actual blood relative?
Drax: You look exactly alike.
Rocket: One's blue!
y/n: Are you colourblind?
Aleya: Or normal blind?
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: Eat you?
Peter Quill: Yeah.
Ego: Oh, that son of a bitch.
Gamora: How'd you locate us now?
Ego: Well, even where I reside, out past the edge of what's known we've heard tell about the man they call Star-Lord. What say we head out there right now? Your associates are welcome. Even that triangle-faced monkey there. I promise you... it's unlike any other place you've ever seen. And there... I can explain your very special heritage. Finally get to be the father I've always wanted to be. Excuse me. I've gotta take a whiz. [
Ego pisses into a bush whistling the lyrics to a Sam Cook song. Peter looks at Gamora, still not believing his father.
Quill: I'm not buying it.
Gamora: Let's go take a walk.
Mantis: I am Mantis.
Mantis contorts her face into a strange shape.
Drax: What are you doing?
Mantis: Smiling. I hear it is the thing to do to make people like you.
Drax: Not if you do it like that.
Mantis: Oh... I was raised alone on Ego's planet. I do not understand the intricacies of social interaction. The two of you are very close, is that the normal behaviour?
She is talking to Aleya who is on y/n's lap with her head nuzzled into his neck.
Aleya: No, this is reserved for your partners.
Mantis: Is it a business tactic?
y/n: No she means partners like... you know, life partners.
Mantis: You wish to spend your life together?
y/n and Aleya stared into each other's eyes.
Aleya: Yes.
y/n: Hell yeah.
Mantis: I am happy for you. Can I pet your puppy? It is adorable.
Drax: Yes.
She goes to stroke Rocket who attempts to bite her, not enjoying the physical contact. Mantis screams.
Drax: That is called a practical joke!
Mantis: I liked it very much!
Drax: I just made it up!
