  Mantis : It's beautiful.

  Drax : It is. And so are you.

  [pause] 

  Drax : On the inside.

• Mantis : [about Rocket]  The crabby puppy is so cute. He makes me wanna die!

• Drax : How did you get to this weird dumb planet?

  Mantis : Ego found me in my larva state. Orphaned on my home world. He raised me by hand, and kept me as his own.

  Drax : So you're a pet.

  Mantis : I suppose.

  Drax : People usually want cute pets. Why would Ego want such a hideous one?

  Mantis : I am hideous?

  Drax : You are horrifying to look at. Yes.

  [Mantis lowers her eyes, offended by Drax' words] 

  Drax : Bu-but that's a good thing.

  Mantis : Oh?

  Drax : When you're ugly, and someone loves you, you know they love you for who you are... beautiful people never know who to trust.

  Mantis : [cheerfully]  Well, then I'm certainly grateful to be ugly!

• [from Trailer] 

  Mantis : When I touch someone I can feel their feelings.

  [touches Quill's hand] 

  Mantis : You feel... love!

  Peter Quill : Yeah, I guess - Yeah, I feel a general unselfish love for everyone.

  Mantis : No. *Sexual* love...

  Peter Quill : No. No, I don't.

  Mantis : [points at Gamora]  ... for her!

  Peter Quill : No!

  [Drax begins laughing hysterically] 

  Drax : She just told everyone you deepest, darkest secret!

  [Drax continues laughing] 

  Peter Quill : 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!

• Mantis : If I touch someone, I can feel their feelings.

  Peter Quill : You read minds?

  Mantis : No. Telepaths know thoughts. Empaths feel feelings. Emotions.

  Mantis : [to Peter]  May I?

  Peter Quill : All right.

  Mantis : [Mantis touches Peter's hand]  You feel... love.

  Peter Quill : Yeah. I guess, yeah, I feel a general, unselfish love for just about everybody...

  Mantis : No! Romantic, sexual love.

  Peter Quill : No. No, I don't.

  Mantis : [points to Gamora]  For her!

  Peter Quill : No, no. No, I don't.

  Mantis : [points to Gamora]  For her.

  Peter Quill : No! That is not...

  [Drax starts laughing hysterically] 

  Peter Quill : Okay... That's...

  Drax : [still laughing]  She just told everyone your deepest, darkest secret!

  Peter Quill : 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 Quill : 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.

• Mantis : He's coming.

  Drax : Didn't you say you could make him sleep?

  Mantis : When he wants! He's too powerful! I can't!

  Drax : You don't have to believe in yourself, because I believe in you!

  Mantis : [places her hand within Ego's core]  SLEEP!

  [Ego powers down] 

  Drax : [to Gamora]  I never thought she'd be able to do it; with as skinny and weak as she appears to be.

• Drax : Those pools, they remind me of a time when I took my daughter to the forgotten lakes of my home world. She was like you.

  Mantis : Disgusting?

  Drax : Innocent.

  [Mantis touches Drax, she senses his sadness and breaks down] 

• Mantis : [shaking Drax awake]  Drax! We need to talk!

  Drax : I'm sorry... but I like a woman with some meat on her bones.

  Mantis : [confused]  What?

  Drax : I tried to let you down easily by telling you you were downright disgusting.

  [starts gagging] 

  Mantis : What are you doing?

  Drax : Ugh... I'm imagining... being with you physically

  [continues gagging] 

  Mantis : Drax! That's not what I... I don't like you like that! I don't even mate with the... type of thing you are!

  Drax : Hey! There's no need to get personal.

  Mantis : Listen! Ego has gotten exactly what he wanted. I should have told you earlier. I am stupid! You are in danger!

• Gamora : [pushing Mantis against a wall after discovering the bodies in the cavern]  WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?

  Drax : Gamora, let her go!

  Gamora : The bodies in the cavern, WHAT ARE THEY?

  Mantis : You are scared...

  [touches Gamora] 

  Gamora : [feeling fear for the first time]  What did you do to me?

  Drax : She already told me everything.

• Gamora : We need to find Peter now and get off this damn planet.

  Mantis : Ego will have won him to his side by now. He has a way...

  Nebula : Then we just go!

  Gamora : No! He's our friend.

  Nebula : All any of you do is yell at each other. You are not friends.

  Drax : You're right. We're family. We leave no one behind.

  [looking at Nebula] 

  Drax : Except maybe you.

  Nebula : [shakes her head in disbelief]  Oh, my God.

• Drax : You Remind me of my daughter

  Mantis : Oh. is she disgusting?

  Drax : She is Innocent!

• Mantis : The crabby puppy is so cute, he makes me want to die!
