Quotes 

• Peter Quill : 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.

• James Rhodes : If we can do this, you know, go back in time... why don't we just find baby Thanos, you know, and...

  [Pantomimes strangulation] 

  Hulk : Okay, first of all, that's horrible.

  James Rhodes : It's Thanos!

  Hulk : And secondly, time doesn't work that way. Changing the past doesn't change the future.

  Scott Lang : We go back, we get the stones before Thanos gets them, Thanos doesn't have the stones! Problem solved!

  Clint Barton : Bingo.

  Nebula : That's not how it works!

  Clint Barton : Well, that's what I heard.

  Hulk : Who told you that?

  James Rhodes : Star Trek, Terminator, Timecop, Time After Time...

  Scott Lang : Quantum Leap?

  James Rhodes : A Wrinkle in Time, Somewhere in Time...

  Scott Lang : Hot Tub Time Machine?

  James Rhodes : Hot Tub Time Machine, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, basically any movie that deals with time travel!

  Scott Lang : Die Hard? No, that's not one...

  James Rhodes : Look, this is known!

  Hulk : I don't know why everyone believes that, but that isn't true. Think about it. If you go into the past, that past becomes your future, and your former present becomes the past, which can't now be changed by your new future!

  Nebula : Exactly!

  Scott Lang : So, "Back to the Future"'s a bunch of bullshit?

• James Rhodes : [watching Peter Quill dancing and singing by himself while holding a lizard for a mic]  So he's an idiot?

  Nebula : [nodding slowly]  Yeah.

• Nebula : Thanos spent a long time trying to perfect me. When he worked he talked about his great plan. He even disassembled I wanted to please him. I'd ask "where would we go once this plan was complete?" His answer was always the same... "To the garden."

  James Rhodes : That's cute. Thanos has a retirement plan.

• [Carol and Bruce, wearing the Hulkbuster armor, restrain Thanos, and Thor chops off his left arm with Stormbreaker. As Steve, Rhodey and Natasha enter, Rocket turns the gauntlet over to find the Infinity Stones missing] 

  Rocket : Oh no...

  Steve Rogers : [to Thanos]  Where are they?

  Carol Danvers : Answer the question.

  Thanos : The universe required correction. After that, the stones served no purpose beyond temptation.

  Bruce Banner : YOU MURDERED TRILLIONS!

  [Banner shoves Thanos to the ground] 

  Thanos : You should be grateful.

  Natasha Romanoff : Where are the Stones?

  Thanos : Gone. Reduced to atoms.

  Bruce Banner : You used them two days ago!

  Thanos : I used the Stones to destroy the Stones. It nearly killed me, but the work is done. It always will be. I am... inevitable.

  James Rhodes : We have to tear this place apart. He has to be lying.

  Nebula : My father is many things. A liar is not one of them.

  Thanos : Ah. Thank you, daughter. Perhaps I treated you too harshly...

  [Thor brings Stormbreaker down, decapitating Thanos] 

  Rocket : What did you do?

  Thor : I went for the head.

• James Rhodes : Whoa, whoa, whoa. This is the part where all the spikes come out with skeletons on the end of them and everything.

  Nebula : What are you talking about?

  James Rhodes : When you break into a place called "the temple of the Power Stone" there's gonna be a bunch of booby traps

  [Nebula starts walking] 

  James Rhodes : Okay, alright, go ahead.

• Gamora : [this is 2014 Gamora talking to 2019 Nebula]  Tell me something. In the future, what happens to you and me?

  Nebula : I tried to kill you... several times... but eventually, we become friends. We become sisters.

• Drax : [Thor and Quill are arguing about leadership]  You should fight one another for the honor of leadership.

  Nebula : Sounds fair.

  Peter Quill : It's not necessary. Okay?

  Thor : It's not.

  Rocket : I got some blasters unless you guys wanna use knives.

  Mantis : Oh, yes. Please use knives.

  Drax : Yeah, knives.

  Groot : I am Groot.

  Thor : [Thor and Quill both laugh]  Not necessary. There should be no knifing one another. Everybody knows who's in charge.

  Peter Quill : [after a few seconds of awkward silence]  Me, right?

  Thor : Yes, you. Of course! Of course.

  [whispering] 

  Thor : Of course.

• Scott Lang : [pointing to the Guardian's spaceship after it just landed]  It's awesome.

  Nebula : [talking to James Rhodes on radio]  Rhodey, careful on re-entry. There's an idiot on the landing zone.

  Scott Lang : [Rhodes suddenly lands very closely to Scott with a loud thump, shocking him]  Oh, God!

  James Rhodes : What's up, regular-sized man?

• Carol Danvers : I'll head down for recon.

  Natasha Romanoff : [Notices Steve staring at picture of Peggy]  This is gonna work Steve.

  Steve Rogers : I know it will, cause I don't know what I'm gonna do if it doesn't.

  Carol Danvers : No satellites, no ships, no armies, no ground defenses of any kind. It's just him.

  Nebula : And that's enough.

• [exhausted from his encounter with the outriders, Clint collapses on the floor. Past Nebula comes in and stands next to him] 

  Clint Barton : Oh, hey, I remember you

  [gives her the gauntlet] 

  Nebula : Father, I have the stones.

  Clint Barton : What?

  [Past Nebula is about to shoot him] 

  Gamora : Stop!

  Nebula : You're betraying us.

  Nebula : You don't have to do this.

  Nebula : I am - this.

  Gamora : No, you're not.

  Nebula : See what we'll become.

  Gamora : Nebula, listen to her.

  Nebula : You can change.

  Nebula : He won't let me

  [tries to shoot Gamora] 

  Gamora : No!

  [Present Nebula shoots and kills Past Nebula] 

• Gamora : [watching the recording from the future]  What did you do to them?

  Thanos : Nothing. Yet. They're not trying to stop something I'm going to do in our time. They're trying to undo something I've already done in theirs.

  Gamora : The stones.

  Thanos : I found them all. I won. Tipped the cosmic scales to balance.

  [Gamora kneels before him] 

  Ebony Maw : This is your future.

  Thanos : It's my destiny.

  [the recording starts playing again] 

  Nebula : [in the recording]  My father is many things. A liar is not one of them.

  Thanos : [in the recording]  Thank you, daughter. Perhaps I treated you too harshly.

  [Thor chops his head off. Gamora looks shocked while Thanos isn't] 

  Thanos : And that is destiny fulfilled.

• [Star-Lord is fighting two Sakaaran soldiers. He holds one back while kicking the other down. He then blasts the downed soldier, but the other one punches him in the face, knocking him down. The Sakaaran prepares to finish him off when suddenly, he's blasted from behind. He falls on top of Star-Lord, who pushes him off. He sits up and sees that the shot came from Gamora] 

  Star-Lord : [deactivates his mask]  Gamora?

  [walks up to her] 

  Star-Lord : I thought I lost you.

  [as he touches her face, she grabs his hand and knees him in his pain center] 

  Gamora : Don't... touch... me!

  [knees him again and he falls over] 

  Star-Lord : You missed the first time... then you got both the second time.

  Gamora : [as Nebula walks up]  This is the one? Seriously?

  Nebula : The choices were him or a tree.

• Nebula : Thanos found the Soul Stone on Vormir.

  Natasha Romanoff : [taking notes]  What is Vormir?

  Nebula : A dominion of death, at the very center of celestial existence. It's where Thanos murdered my sister.

  Scott Lang : [everyone looks at each other, Steve sighs]  Not it.

• Nebula : [after cooling her robot arm off]  I wasn't always like this.

  War Machine : Me either. But we work with what we got, right?

• Nebula : [trying to warn the others]  Barton, come in. Romanoff, come in, we have a problem. Come in, we have a prob- Thanos knows.

  [Thanos's ship beams her up] 

• [Lang is about to eat a taco outside the Avengers headquarters when the Benatar lands, blowing away the contents of the taco shell] 

  Rocket : Hey, Humie. Where's Big Green?

  Scott Lang : The kitchen, I think.

  [Nebula walks towards the entrance] 

  Scott Lang : That's awesome.

  Nebula : [on radio]  Rhodey, careful on re-entry. There's an idiot in the landing zone.

  [Rhodes lands near Lang, causing Lang to drop his taco shell] 

  Scott Lang : Oh, God.

  James Rhodes : What's up, Regular-Sized Man?

  [as Rhodes enters the building, Banner hands Lang two tacos before boarding the Benatar] 

• Ebony Maw : [learning of Thanos' future death]  Sire... your daughter... .

  Nebula : [a chain is wrapped around her neck]  No!

  Ebony Maw : ...is a traitor.

  Nebula : That's not me. It's not, I could never... I would never betray you. Never. Never.

  Thanos : [breaking the chain]  I know. And you'll have the chance to prove it.

• Nebula : [telling past Gamora what becomes of them]  I try to kill you. Several times. But eventually, we become friends. We become sisters.

  [Gamora turns to face Nebula and extends her hand] 

  Gamora : Come on. We can stop him.

  [Nebula pauses, then takes Gamora's hand letting her help her up] 

• Rocket : Hey Humie, where's Big Green?

  Scott Lang : The kitchen, I think.

  Scott Lang : [sees the ship Rocket and Nebula landed with]  That's awesome.

  Nebula : Rhodey, careful on re-entry. There's an idiot in the landing zone.
