  Gamora : Peter, take my hand!

  [Quill grabs her hand, and Drax and Rocket do the same] 

  Ronan : You're mortal! How...

  Peter Quill : You said it yourself, bitch. We're the Guardians of the Galaxy.

  [the Guardians strike Ronan] 

• Ronan : Citizens of Xandar, behold your guardians of the galaxy! What fruit have they wrought?

  Peter Quill : [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 Quill : Dance-off, bro. Me and you.

  [holds out his hand for Gamora] 

  Peter Quill : Gamora.

  [she shakes her head] 

  Peter Quill : Subtle, taking it back.

  Ronan : What are you doing?

  Peter Quill : I'm distracting you, you big turd blossom!

• Ronan : I only ask that you take this matter seriously.

  Thanos : The only matter I do not take seriously, boy, is you. Your politics bore me! Your demeanor is that of a pouting child. And apparently you alienated my favorite daughter, Gamora. I shall honor our agreement, Kree, if you bring me the Orb. But return to me again empty handed and I will bathe the star-ways with your blood.

  Nebula : Thanks, Dad. Sounds fair.

• [from outtake] 

  Star-Lord : Dance-off, bro! Me and you!

  Ronan : It's on!

• Thanos : Boy, I would reconsider your current course!

  Ronan : [wields the Infinity Stone]  You call ME, boy? I will unfurl one thousand years of Kree justice on Xandar and burn it to its core! Then, Thanos, I'm coming for you!

• Ronan : Xandar, you stand accused! Your wretched peace treaty will not save you now. It is the tinder on which you burn.

• Nebula : After Xandar, you're going to kill my father?

  Ronan : You dare to oppose me?

  Nebula : You see what he has turned me into? You kill him and I will help you destroy a thousand planets.

• Ronan : With all due respect, Thanos, your daughter made this mess, and yet you summon ME?

  The Other : I would lower my voice, Accuser!

  Ronan : First, she lost a battle to some primitive...

  The Other : Thanos had put Gamora under your charge!

  Ronan : ...then she was apprehended by the Nova Corps...

  The Other : You are the one, here, with nothing to show for him!

  Ronan : Your sources say she was meant to betray us the whole time!

  The Other : Lower your tone! Here you won't bring in your...

  [Ronan kills the Other to shut him up] 

• Ronan : They call me terrorist, radical, zealot because I obey the ancient laws of my people, the Kree... and punish those who do not. Because I do not forgive your people for taking the life of my father, and his father, and his father before him. A thousand years of war between us will not be forgotten!

• Ronan : The Xandorians and your culture are a disease.

  Sacrifice Nova Corpsman : You will never rule Xandar.

  Ronan : No. I will cure it!
