INT. ECLECTOR SECURITY DOCK - OUTER SPACE

EXPLOSIONS throughout the ship.

ROCKET:

You maniac. The whole ship is gonnablow.

INT. ECLECTOR SECURITY DOCK - OUTER SPACE

A DOOR SWINGS OPEN and TASERFACE FALLS ONTO THE FLOOR,

ENGULFED IN FLAMES, but furious.

He angrily SLAPS off the flames as he reaches for aCOMMUNICATIONS MODULE.

INT. ECLECTOR SECURITY DOCK - OUTER SPACE

YONDU:

Not the whole ship.

Yondu catches the arrow and walks out.

INT. ECLECTOR SECURITY DOCK - OUTER SPACE

With pained effort, Taserface PULLS UP A VIDEO SCREEN with aSOVEREIGN CHAMBERMAID.

Who is this? You’re not supposed tobe on this line.

TASERFACE:

KRAGLIN:

Aye Capn’

INT. ECLECTOR SECURITY DOCK - OUTER SPACE

TASERFACE:

I only ask one thing. That yourHigh Priestess tells him the nameof the man what sealed his fate:

Taserface.

The CHAMBERMAID laughs uncontrollably at his name.

Taserface looks really sad as he EXPLODES.

INT. QUADRANT FLIGHT DECK - OUTER SPACE

As Rocket and Groot, frightened, feel the SHIP EXPLODINGaround them, Kraglin pulls up one final latch -

EXT. ECLECTOR - OUTER SPACE

THE ENTIRE REAR UPPER QUADRANT OF THE ECLECTOR DETACHES FROM

THE REST OF THE SHIP, while the remains CONTINUE EXPLODING.

I/E. QUADRANT FLIGHT DECK - OUTER SPACE

Rocket and Groot are amazed as the SHIP thrusts forward, awayfrom the explosions.

Kraglin keys into a JUMP POINT ahead. Nearby, Rocket pulls upthe Navigation panel.

KRAGLIN:

Where to, Cap’n?

Rocket SETS THE DESTINATION:

ROCKET:

Ego.

YONDU:

NO, BOY!

The Quadrant TREMBLES as they hit THE JUMP POINT. It BLOOPS

out of present space, making the JUMP to

EXT. DESERT - DAY

The Quadrant POPS into a blue sky above a DESERT with twofighting KRONANS.

INT. QUADRANT FLIGHT DECK - VARIOUS OUTER SPACE LOCATIONS

Inside the ship, Rocket, Yondu, Kraglin, and baby Groot holdon for dear life as the ship VIOLENTLY SHAKES and THE

LOCATIONS OUTSIDE OF THE WINDOW RAPIDLY SHIFT.

Their bodies DISTEND SLIGHTLY. Yondu is furious.

YONDU:

It ain’t healthy for a mammalianbody to hop over fifty jumps at atime.

ROCKET:

I know that.

YONDU:

We’re about to do seven-hundred.

Rocket looks bummed.

EXT. PINK SKY - AMOEBA BLOBS - OUTER SPACE

The Quadrant pops out of a jump point into this Pepto Bismolpink land, SMASHING THROUGH an AMOEBA-LIKE BLOB, and thenthrough the next jump point.

INT. QUADRANT FLIGHT DECK - VARIOUS OUTER SPACE LOCATIONS

Kraglin, Yondu, Rocket, and Baby Groot all SCREAM, theirentire faces and bodies distorting as if in some evilfunhouse mirror.

EXT. RED PLANET LANDSCAPE - VARIOUS

The yellow sun CURVES SLOWLY WEST TO EAST over thismagnificent landscape.

“BRING IT ON HOME TO ME” BY SAM COOKE PLAYS.

EXT. SLEEPING QUARTERS - VERANDA - DAY

TILT DOWN to Quill, on this veranda, gazing out at thebeauty. The Walkman is connected to small, jerry-riggedspeakers nearby, PLAYING SAM COOKE.

QUILL:

So I guess this could all be minesomeday.

Gamora isn’t paying attention. She’s fooling with acommunications device, which has no reception.

GAMORA:

Rocket? Rocket, you there? Dammit.

Quill comes up behind her, messing with her.

GAMORA (CONT’D)

What are you doing, Peter?

QUILL:

Dance with me.

GAMORA:

No. I’m not -

QUILL:

Come on. This is Sam Cooke, one of

the greatest Earth singers of alltime.

Gamora lets out an exasperated SIGH, but, reluctantly, startsDANCING with him. She is incredibly light on her feet.

Quill smiles and Gamora, despite herself, does as well. He

TWIRLS HER AND BRINGS HER BACK IN. This is definitely not the

first time they’ve done this.

QUILL (CONT’D)

Drax thinks you’re not a dancer.

GAMORA:

If you ever tell anyone about this,

I’ll kill you.

They look at each other.

QUILL:

When are we going to do somethingabout this... unspoken thingbetween us?

GAMORA:

What unspoken thing?

QUILL:

This Cheers-Sam-and-Diane-guy-andgirl-

on-a-TV-show-who-dig-eachother-

but-never-say-it-’cause-whenthey-

do-the-ratings-would-go-downsort of thing?

© Marvel

GAMORA:

There is no unspoken thing between

us.

QUILL:

Well, that’s a Catch-22. Because if

you said there was, it would bespoken, and then you’d be a liar.

So by saying there isn’t, you’retelling the truth, and admittingthere is.

GAMORA:

That’s not --

Gamora PULLS AWAY.

GAMORA (CONT’D)

What we should be discussing rightnow is that something about thisplace doesn’t feel right.

QUILL:

What are you talking about? Youwere the one who wanted me to come

here!

Gamora moves into -

INT. SLEEPING QUARTERS - DAY

GAMORA:

That girl, Mantis. She’s afraid ofsomething.

Quill follows her. He stops, staring at her, hurt andfrustrated.

QUILL:

Why are you trying to take thisfrom me?

GAMORA:

I’m not -

QUILL:

He’s my father. He’s blood

GAMORA:

You have blood on earth. You never

wanted to return there.

© Marvel

QUILL:

Again - you made me come here!

And Earth?! Earth is the place mymother died in front of me.

GAMORA:

No, it’s because that’s real, and

this is a fantasy.

QUILL:

This is real. I’m only half human,

remember?

GAMORA:

That’s the half I’m worried about.

QUILL:

Oh, I get it. You’re jealousbecause I’m part god! You like mebeing the weak one!

Gamora adds some pieces to her transmitter.

GAMORA:

Uh. You were insufferable to beginwith. I haven’t been able to reach

Rocket. I’m going to see if I canget a signal outside.

QUILL:

You know, this isn’t Cheers after

all. It’s whatever the show is

where one person is willing to, youknow, open themselves up to newpossibilities, and the other personis just kind of a jerk who doesn’ttrust anyone! It’s a show thatdoesn’t exist - it would never be

made, it would be so horrible! It

would get zero ratings!

GAMORA:

You’re having a conversation withyourself! I don’t know what Cheers

is!

QUILL:

I finally found my family, don’tyou understand that!?

GAMORA:

I thought you already had.

© Marvel

QUILL:

So this is how it ends, then? Our

whole story. Like this? You and me?

GAMORA:

Get it through your head, Peter.

There is no you and me. There never

was.

Quill watches her leave.

EXT. EGO’S FIELDS - SUNSET

Gamora sits, alone in the fields, pouting, fuming. She

stops, staring angrily inward.

Two plants, nearby, flitter against one another in the wind,

making a CLICKING sound. She side-eyes them. They don’t stop.

She slices them off with her sword.

GAMORA:

Dammit.
