Gamora: If things go wrong... If Thanos gets me... I want you to promise me... you'll kill me.
Peter Quill: What?
Gamora: I know something he doesn't. If he finds out... The entire Universe could be at risk.
Peter Quill: What do you know?
Gamora: If I tell you, you'd know, too.
Peter Quill: If it's so important, shouldn't I?
Gamora: Only if you wanna die.
Peter Quill: Why does somebody always have to die in this scenario?
Gamora: Just... trust me. And possibly, kill me.
Peter Quill: I mean, I'd like to. I really would...
*Gamora silences him by covering his mouth with her hand.*
Gamora: Swear to me. Swear to me on your mother.
Peter Quill: Okay.
*The two kiss, until an odd crunching sound startles them. Drax is standing in the corner.*
Peter Quill: Dude! How long have you been standing there?
Drax: An hour.
Peter Quill: An hour? Are you serious?
Drax: I've mastered the ability of standing so incredibly still... That I've become invisible to the eye. Watch.
*Drax stands motionless, until he eats more of his snack.*
Peter Quill: You're eating a zark nut
Drax: But my movement... So slow... And it's imperceptible.
Peter Quill: No.
*Peter and Gamora shake their heads.*
Drax: I'm sure I'm invisible.
Mantis: Hi, Drax.
Drax: Damn it.
*The group lands in Knowhere, in search of Thanos.*
DRAX: I'm reading movement. From the third quadrant.
PETER QUILL: Yep. I'm picking that up, too.
QUILL: Let's put it down right here.
*The group enters the Collector's collection room, which is in ruin. Thanos is threatening the Collector while the Guardians hide behind the rubble.*
Thanos: Everyone in the Galaxy knows you'd sell your own brother if you thought it would add the slightest trinket to your pathetic collection. I know you have the Reality Stone. Giving it to me will spare you a great deal of suffering.
Collector: I told you. I sold it. Why would I lie?
Thanos: I imagine it's like breathing for you.
Collector: Like suicide.
Thanos: So you do understand. Not even you would surrender something so precious.
Collector: I didn't know what it was.
Thanos: Then you're more of a fool than I took you for. Last chance, Tivan. Where's the Stone?
Drax: Today...
Peter Quill: Drax. Drax.
Drax: ...he pays for the deaths of my wife and daughter.
Peter Quill: Drax, wait! not yet, not yet, not yet. He doesn't have the Stone yet. We get it, and then we can stop him. We have to get the Stone first. Yeah.
