Thanos never figured into this 'til he dropped into our laps.

—Thanos Vol 1 10

Everything's going to be fine, Flag! Um. In the long run, I mean. Not right now, obviously.

—Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 10

I must have done something really bad in a previous life.

—Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 14

So the Inhumans bugged out and left us to face the music. I dunno, I was raised to believe in old school, karmic wisdom. You know, like 'necessity is the mother of strange bedfellows' and 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend.' And 'just because an ad hoc but charismatically led team of intergalactic heroes makes a bad first impression, you don't ditch them and leave them to face a full-scale maximum prejudice Shi'ar assault.' Stuff like that.

—Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 15

Jack, what the shug is going on? Cosmo's a puppy and Bug looks like an extra from Alien High School Musical!

—Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 18

Hey, Thanos! Hey, Thanos, baby! Over here, big fellah! Yoooohooo! Look what I got! Eh? Pretty, huh? Yeah, that's right. Come on. You know you want it. Cosmic Cube. Unbelievably powerful. Grants wishes. Twists realities. You had one yourself once, right? You may be feral, mindless -- but you can still feel the heat of it, can't you? Familiar. Kang gave me this. Kang the flarking conqueror. He handed it to me at the other end of time so I could beat Magus with it. It was broken, pretty much spent. It had just enough juice in it for one last zap. I zapped Adam with it. Though I'd used it up. I figured it was just a hunk of junk crystal. But it turns out Magus tricked me. Our whole fight with him was one big illusion. I only thought I used this thing. So it's still got power enough for that one last shot. Bang.

—Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 25

And I need you to read this last wish in my head. This dream. Read it carefully. I almost made it work. The Guardians were more than I could ever have hoped for! But the universe is also more dangerous than I ever imagined! Look around! This is the kind of thing that can happen! The galaxy doesn't need guardians! It doesn't need brave souls! If it's going to survive another one of these, it's going to need absolute bad-asses! It's going to need the biggest guns of all! Cosmic heavy hitters as scary as the menaces they have to face! It's going to need flarking annihilators!

—Thanos Imperative: Devastation Vol 1 1

Hi. We're the Guardians of the Galaxy. I think we can help.

—Avengers Assemble Vol 2 4

Daughter of--? Oh my God! I have a sister?!

—Legendary Star-Lord Vol 1 1

Gamora, get back here now! You opened this door! I was very happy to never open it for you, but you did this. If you never want to talk to me again after this, that's fine... But you are going to hear the truth from beginning to end. You're going to hear the truth.

—Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 19

And like you said-- We don't have to know everything. That's okay. But we need to know we can trust each other no matter what. That you are right about, but... I was so torn. I betray him or I betray you. If you want to leave, you can leave. But I hope you stay. He asked us to keep this from you because he loved you. And I did because I loved him. And for all the #@$% we don't know, you need to know... We all love you.

—Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 20

Gawsh. Kitty Pryde, I'm gonna make a dishonest woman outta you yet.

—Legendary Star-Lord Vol 1 8

Katherine Anne Sprite Ariel Shadowcat Kitty Pryde -- I think you're the greatest person in the whole galaxy. Will you marry me?

—Guardians of the Galaxy & X-Men: Black Vortex Omega Vol 1 1

This song goes out to the best girl in the galaxy. It used to be our song.

—Star-Lord and Kitty Pryde Vol 1 1

She's the best person in the whole galaxy. Was. She was the best person in the whole galaxy. The old galaxy. I still can't believe it's all gone now. And her with it.

—Star-Lord and Kitty Pryde Vol 1 2

How many Kittys do I gotta lose?

—Star-Lord and Kitty Pryde Vol 1 3

Hala! Hala the Accuser, Hala the Kree... this probably won't matter to you at this point but you're wrong about all of this. It isn't me you want. We did not destroy your world. I promise you.

—Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 4 4

Kitty, you are an amazing woman. You're a teacher, a scholar, a warrior, and you're out here running around the galaxy trying to do whatever you can to make it a better place. But lady, you cannot dress yourself to save your life.

—Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 4 6

—Guardians of Infinity Vol 1 8

Wow, glad I'm trapped on Earth instead of the dangerous unknowns of space.

—Star-Lord Vol 2 1

Black Cat made it pretty clear. If she spots anyone else with us breaking into Javelynn's penthouse, Greg gets it. We can't risk that. But I've got a couple of ideas...

—Star-Lord Vol 2 5

You provoked me 'cause you thought I needed the release... to fight someone other than... other than myself...

—Star-Lord Vol 2 6

Hey, Gamora, what exactly was your deal with Grandmaster?

—All-New Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 1 1

We should let ourselves get arrested more often.

—Free Comic Book Day 2017 (All-New Guardians of the Galaxy) Vol 1 1

I know we all hate each other and we all tried to kill one another. But from now on, and until the job is done... we're all Guardians.

—Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 5 6

Face it, Rich, if anyone's earned a vacation? Then it's us.

—Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 6 18

"Master". I heard you the first time. And I was wondering why I was sent to this place, to this time. But it's obvious now. This is the planet of my fathers, ruled by my sister. My friends are fighting to save it. This is where I need to be. You say you're a master of the dark? the void? I'm the Master of the Sun. And you know what they say. Sun's out...gun's out.

—Peter Quill (Earth-616)

—Annihilators (Earth-616)

Nova

I remember you said to me once, you said... 'if death ever comes your way and won't let you pass... make sure you scream right back in his face.'

Star-Lord

I said that?

Nova

You did.

Star-Lord

Rich, you really shouldn't trust anything I say. Most of the time, I just make stuff up.

Nova

I know. Let's scream in his face anyway.

—Thanos Imperative Vol 1 6

Rocket Raccoon

Great job, Quill!

Starlord

How is this my fault?!

Rocket Raccoon

You woke me up this morning, so I'm blaming you.

—Avengers Assemble Vol 2 5

Rocket Raccoon

Except the Egg McMuffin.

Starlord

And me.

Rocket Raccoon

I know what I said, Quill.

—Avengers Assemble Vol 2 6

I thought I was your best friend.

Groot

I am Groot.

—Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 7

Rocket Raccoon

Hey, dumb things!! Blam! I just murdered you!

Abigail Brand

Is that his catch phrase?

Starlord

Yeah, I find it disturbing.

Abigail Brand

It really is. You should say something

Starlord

Hey, Rocket!! She hates your "murdered you" thing too.

Rocket Raccoon

It will grow on you.

Starlord

I don't think it will.

Rocket Raccoon

Ugh, humans!

—Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 8

Star-Lord

We were--- we thought we were sacrificing ourselves to keep Thanos in the Cancerverse as that universe imploded around him. And us. We thought we were going out in a blaze of glory. A hero's death. Drax was dead--- I wanted it to mean something. Stopping Thanos once and for all, for all time, was worth it. Shoving that Cosmic Cube up his purple butt as the universe folded around him... well, wouldn't that make every damn thing we've been through worth it? Not only would our universe survive... But maybe you--- maybe you'd get to live the rest of your life, finally, without the burden of your nightmare of a father hanging over you.

Gamora

But--

Star-Lord

It didn't go quite as planned.

—Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 18

Star-Lord

You are blowing holes in the ship!

Drax

This is were we live!

Rocket Raccoon

Yeah, I know. I also live in my skin, which I don't want this thing on!

—Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 22

I think he's your descendant. Even if he is, for some reason, wearing your old clothes and using your old Ship

Peter Jason Quill. Born Spartax, 2985 A.D.

Star-Lord

Peter Jason Quill. Born Earth, 1985 A.D.

Yes, Groot, time really is coming apart at the seams.

Venom

You understood him?

Geena Drake

Didn't everybody?

—Guardians 3000 Vol 1 6

Major Victory

I assume you're the time-local authorities here? Peacekeepers? I'm Major Victory, of Guardians of the Galaxy.

Star-Lord

We've met.

Major Victory

We... have?

Star-Lord

Go on, tell him who you are, Quill. I really want to waste another fifteen minutes arguing about who gets to be called what. With a racoon.

—Guardians 3000 Vol 1 7

Guardians... Gather? Group up? Man, I don't know.
