Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Page #14

Gamora hears something. She turns to see, in the distance, anM-ship flying toward the planet.

She watches as it gets closer and closer, and realizes it is

FLYING DIRECTLY AT HER.

Gamora RUNS.

INT. NEBULA’S SHIP - SUNSET

Nebula HOLLERS as she BLASTS HER GUNS, DIVING towards Gamora.

EXT. HILLSIDE - SUNSET

Gamora FLEES from Nebula’s ship like Cary Grant from the cropduster in North by Northwest as HUGE CHUNKS OF LAND EXPLODE

on either side of her.

Gamora leaps into a DITCH, LANDING HARD, as the M-Ship SWOOPS

just a couple feet above her.

GAMORA:

You psychopath.

Gamora sees the M-Ship banking and FLYING BACK at her again.

She stands and runs along the hillside as GUN BLASTS burstbehind her. But Gamora sees a CAVERN, leading down into theearth.

She DARTS into it.

INT. EGO’S CAVERN - FIRST/SECOND LEVELS - SUNSET

As Gamora RUNS down the cavern, she glances back over hershoulder where Nebula, insane with rage, continues FLYINGtowards her -

The M-SHIP ENTERS THE CAVERN, which is too small for it,

CLIPPING ITS WINGS - but it keeps flying. It again BLASTS atGamora as she FLEES -

The BLASTS cause the ground to COLLAPSE around Gamora, andshe FALLS, SMASHING DOWN THROUGH ONE LEVEL, to another level

below, SLAMMING HARD on the ground.

The underside of the M-ship gets SCRAPED APART as it flies

above her, and pieces of it come RAINING DOWN around her.

Nebula ZOOMS towards a huge cavern wall. She tries to turn

her ship in time, to no avail.

She SIDESWIPES it, falling down, CRASHING on the ground,

where she is now on the same level as Gamora.

Gamora sees something beside her: it’s one of the ENORMOUSBLASTERS from the M-ship, attached to an AMMO RIG.

INT. NEBULA’S M-SHIP - SUNSET

Nebula sees Gamora, through the canopy, picking up theblaster, and clutching it. It is comically enormous.

Nebula struggles to get free and out of the way, but her legshave been pinned in the crash -

INT. EGO’S CAVERN - SECOND/THIRD LEVELS - SUNSET

Gamora CLAMPS two metal switches together, MACHINE-FIRING THEGUN, as she walks forward.

The front of the M-ship is peppered with blasts and thenEXPLODES.

The explosion causes the thin ground around it to COLLAPSE,

and the entire ship FALLS BACKWARDS to an even LOWER LEVEL -

BURSTING some more as it hits the ground.

Gamora gazes down at the ship.

I/E. NEBULA’S SQUASHED M-SHIP - SUNSET

Nebula is a mess. Her legs are broken, trapped in the ship.

There is a FIRE at her feet.

She struggles, trying to get out, but her machine parts areSPARKING and she can hardly breathe. It seems as she’s goingto die, when -

Part of the ship is TORN AWAY. She sees Gamora.

Gamora GRABS HER, unceremoniously PULLING HER FREE, just as

the M-ship EXPLODES, PITCHING THEM BOTH to the ground.

They lie next to each other. Nebula COUGHS as her legs are

healing, CRACKING back into place.

She looks over and eyes Gamora.

And then she HOLLERS and attacks her.

GAMORA:

Are you kidding me?!

They FIGHT.

Nebula snatches Gamora’s blade from her, and TUMBLES on top

of her as she gains the upper hand. She holds the blade

above Gamora, ready to plummet it into her.

She wants to - she really does - but now that the moment ishere...

She SCREAMS in frustration, and falls back.

NEBULA:

I win.

Gamora eyes her, a little surprised.

NEBULA (CONT’D)

I win. I bested you in combat.

GAMORA:

Uh, no, I just spared your life

NEBULA:

You were stupid enough to let melive so -

GAMORA:

You just let me live!

NEBULA:

I WIN!

GAMORA NEBULA (CONT'D)

Nebula, I really don’t need I don’t need you alwaysthis. My day has been bad trying to beat me!

enough

GAMORA:

I’m not the one who just flewacross the universe because I

wanted to win!

NEBULA:

Don’t tell me what I want!

GAMORA:

I don’t have to because you make itobvi

NEBULA:

YOU WERE THE ONE WHO WANTED TO WIN,

I JUST WANTED A SISTER!

Gamora stops suddenly, struck. Nebula is cracking.

NEBULA (CONT’D)

You were all I had, but you were

the one who needed to win! Thanos

pulled my eye from my head and mybrain from my skull and my arm frommy body because of you!

Gamora doesn’t know what to say. Nebula is almost instantlyembarrassed.

They sit there for a moment, saying nothing.

EXT. SLEEPING QUARTERS - NIGHT

The Quarters are entombed in stars. The dim sound of “BRANDY”

comes from within.

INT. SLEEPING QUARTERS - NIGHT

Quill lies in bed, unable to sleep, listening to the song.

EGO (O.S.)

You all right, son?

Quill turns to see Ego in the doorway.

EGO (CONT’D)

I saw your girl stomp off earlierin quite a huff.

Quill sits up, nods.

QUILL:

Yeah.

Ego sits beside him.

EGO:

It’s fortuitous you’re listening to

this song.

QUILL:

You know - ?

EGO:

‘Brandy’ by Looking Glass. A

favorite of your mom’s.

QUILL:

Yes.

EGO:

One of earth’s greatest musical

compositions. Perhaps its very

greatest.

QUILL:

Yeah, it is.

EGO:

You and I, Peter, we’re the sailor

in the song.

Ego speaks along with the lyrics as they play.

EGO (CONT’D)

He came on a summer’s day, bringinggifts from far away - like the

child I put in your mother, or thefreedom you brought Gamora.

Quill listens.

EGO (CONT’D)

Brandy, you’re a fine girl, what agood wife you would be. But mylife, my love, my lady is the sea.

The sea calls the sailor back. He

loves the girl, but that’s not hisplace. The sea calls upon him ashistory calls upon great men, andsometimes we are deprived thepleasures of mortals.

QUILL:

Well, you might not be mortal, but

me -

EGO:

Death will remain a stranger toboth of us as long as the lightburns within the planet.

Ego smiles.

QUILL:

I’m immortal? That’s... really?

EGO:

Yes, as long as the light exists.

QUILL:

And I can use the light to makecool things? Like how you made allthis?

EGO:

It’ll take thousands of years ofpractice before you get really goodat it . But, yes.

QUILL:

Well, get ready for an eighthundred foot statue of Pac Man,

then. With Skeletor. And Heather

Locklear. I’m gonna make some weirdshit.

Ego puts his arm around him, smiles kindly.

EGO:

I can’t wait to see your weirdshit.

QUILL:

Wow, that...

EGO:

Came out a little disgusting.

They CHUCKLE.

EGO (CONT’D)

It is a tremendous responsibility,

Peter. Only we can remake theuniverse. Only we can take thebridle of the cosmos and lead it

where it needs to go.

© Marvel

QUILL:

How?

Ego holds up his fingers, letting forth a flame of whitecosmic light. Quill holds up his fingers, letting forth asmaller, less intense flame of white cosmic light.

REVEAL MANTIS, IN THE HALL, around the corner, looking at Egoand Quill and the light emanating from their fingers.

EGO:

Come with me.

Mantis looks like she’s having a panic attack.

INT. DRAX’S SLEEPING QUARTERS - MOMENTS LATER

CLOSE-UP OF DRAX, sound asleep.

MANTIS (O.S.)

Drax! Drax!

He WAKES to see a panicked Mantis sitting on the bed besidehim.
