Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Page #4

QUILL:

How many jumps?

GAMORA:

Only one. But the access point is47 clicks away. And it’s throughthat Quantum Asteroid Field over

there.

Quill spots, to his side, a HUGE FIELD OF SMALL, GLOWING

ASTEROIDS, SWIRLING IN RANDOM PATTERNS, DISAPPEARING OUT OF

SPACE and EMERGING AGAIN a few feet or a few yards away.

Quill ZOOMS SIDEWAYS toward the field.

DRAX:

Quill, to make it through that,

you’d have to be the greatest pilotin the universe.

Quill smirks.

QUILL:

Lucky for us

ROCKET:

I am.

Rocket FLIPS the pilot controls between them so that he’s theone piloting the ship. Quill gapes at him.

The Milano DIVES into the QUANTUM ASTEROID FIELD, SWOOPING in

and around the SWIRLING ATOMIZED STONES, barely missing them.

The Sovereign ships FOLLOW. They are not pilots on par withRocket, so most of the ships are immediately PELTED WITH

STONES AND DESTROYED.

INT. SOVEREIGN PILOT BAY - DAY

One after another the SOVEREIGN PILOTS screens go blank, andthey FALL BACK, angry and upset.

PUSH IN on Ayesha, barely containing her fury.

I/E. MILANO FLIGHT DECK - OUTER SPACE

Quill FLIPS the controls back, so he’s piloting again.

ROCKET:

What are you doing?!

QUILL:

I’ve been flying this rig since Iwas ten years old.

ROCKET:

I was cybernetically engineered topilot a spacecraft!

Rocket FLIPS the controls back to him.

QUILL:

You were cybernetically engineeredto be a douchebag.

Quill FLIPS the controls back to him.

GAMORA:

Stop it!

ROCKET:

Quill, later on tonight you’regonna lay down in your bed andthere’s gonna be something squishyin your pillowcase and you’re gonnabe, like, ‘what’s this?’ and it’s

gonna be because I put a turd inthere.

Rocket FLIPS the switch back.

QUILL:

You put your turd in my bed, Ishave you.

ROCKET:

Oh it won’t be my turd, it will beDrax’s.

Drax LAUGHS cheerfully. Gamora glances at him. He explains:

DRAX:

I have famously huge turds.

GAMORA:

We’re about to die, and this is

what we’re discussing?

DRAX:

They raise havoc with the pipes.

That’s why I do all the plumbing. Itake responsibility for my actions.

Unlike some people...

Drax eyes baby Groot.

QUILL:

Groot, he’s right, you have to

start aiming inside the box.

Groot looks ashamed. Quill FLIPS the controls back.

GAMORA:

Stop it.

Rocket SWITCHES it back. Quill SWITCHES it back.

They’re nearing the end of the Asteroid Field when both go toswitch it at the same time and -

WHAM! A LARGE ASTEROID SMASHES THROUGH the stern of the

Milano.

I/E. MILANO LIVING AREA - OUTER SPACE

A CHUNK OF THE REAR OF THE CRAFT DISAPPEARS.

Nebula IS SUCKED toward the hole - but, fortunately, her arms

are shackled to a post, so she doesn’t fly out.

Her face and body cover with frost.

I/E. MILANO FLIGHT DECK - OUTER SPACE

Everything FLIES AROUND THE SPACECRAFT, RUSHING THROUGH THEHOLE.

Groot GOES FLYING, but Quill CATCHES HIM, and casually TOSSEShim back to Drax -

So that he can punch in a code, causing

I/E. MILANO LIVING AREA - OUTER SPACE

A PROTECTIVE ENERGY SHIELD SLIDES UP in front of the hole.

Nebula COLLAPSES to the floor. She yells upstairs -

NEBULA:

Idiots!

I/E. MILANO FLIGHT DECK - OUTER SPACE

Everyone catches their breath, relieved.

ROCKET:

Well, that’s what you get whenQuill flies.

Gamora THROWS SOMETHING HARD at the back of Rocket’s head.

ROCKET (CONT’D)

Ow!

GAMORA:

There’s still a Sovereign craftbehind us!

The electronics FLICKER.

QUILL:

Our weapons are down!

GAMORA:

Twenty clicks to the jump.

The Mean Pilot BLASTS at them from the sole Sovereign Craft,

TAKING OUT another part of a wing. The Milano is TREMBLING.

Drax starts climbing down into the living area.

QUILL:

Where’s he going?

INT. SOVEREIGN PILOT BAY - DAY

A group of pilots have gathered around the Mean Pilot,

rooting him on, like kids at a video arcade.

FRIGHTENED PILOT

Come on, Zylak, you can do this.

I/E. MILANO LIVING AREA - OUTER SPACE

Nebula sees the bowl of yaro root has spilled in front ofher.

She reaches for a piece, but it’s KICKED OUT OF HER WAY.

She looks up to see Drax, grabbing a cable on a spoolattached to the wall.

DRAX:

It’s not ripe.

Drax HOOKS the cable to his belt. A folder on the wall reads

SPACESUITS FOR EMERGENCY and, below that, in Rocket’s scrawl:

OR FOR FUN.

Drax pulls a small disk from the folder. He slaps it betweenhis shoulder blades and a SHIMMERY SHEATH COVERS HIS ENTIRE

BODY - a thin force-field spacesuit.

I/E. MILANO FLIGHT DECK - OUTER SPACE

Gamora watches THE MAP leading to the jump point.

GAMORA:

Fifteen clicks.

Another BLAST from the Sovereign craft HITS them.

INT. SOVEREIGN PILOT BAY - DAY

The pilots rooting on the Mean Pilot erupt into CHEERS.

I/E. MILANO LIVING AREA - OUTER SPACE

Drax grabs a huge rifle.

He punches buttons on the wall. A SECOND PROTECTIVE SHIELD

OPENS UP between him and Nebula, and THE FIRST PROTECTIVE

SHEATH OPENS, exposing him to space -

INT. SOVEREIGN PILOT BAY - DAY

The Mean Pilot watches in awe as Drax JUMPS OUT the back of

the Milano.

I/E. MILANO LIVING AREA - OUTER SPACE

Drax smiles. The cable UNSPOOLS and SNAPS TAUT when it

reaches its end.

Drax is DRAGGED HAPHAZARDLY by the Milano like a water sledon a boat.

I/E. MILANO FLIGHT DECK - OUTER SPACE

ON THE MAP, the jump point gets closer.

© Marvel

GAMORA:

Ten clicks.

I/E. MILANO LIVING AREA - OUTER SPACE

The Mean Pilot BLASTS WILDLY at Drax, missing him by mereinches.

Drax brings the sight to his eye. Aims at the ship.

DRAX:

Die, spaceship.

And he SHOOTS, BLASTING the Sovereign ship.

INT. SOVEREIGN PILOT BAY - DAY

The Mean Pilot SCREAMS as his lights go out. The FrightenedPilot shakes his head in disgust.

FRIGHTENED PILOT

You suck, Zylak.

Zylak is really sad.

I/E. MILANO FLIGHT DECK - OUTER SPACE

As Quill and Rocket leave the asteroid field, it seems for a

moment they’re scot-free...

GAMORA:

Five clicks!

Then DOZENS OF OMNICRAFT pull around them on both sides.

QUILL:

Son-of-a-! They went around thefield!

INT. SOVEREIGN PILOT BAY - DAY

Ayesha smiles.

I/E. MILANO FLIGHT DECK - OUTER SPACE

It looks like the end of the road for the Guardians when

THERE IS A BLINDING BURST OF LIGHT AND ALL OF THE OMNICRAFT

EXPLODE.

INT. SOVEREIGN PILOT BAY - DAY

Ayesha watches in shock as the screens in the pods go dead.

ADMIRAL:

Someone destroyed all the ships.

AYESHA:

What?! WHO?!

But the Admiral doesn’t know.

I/E. MILANO FLIGHT DECK - OUTER SPACE

Rocket sees the BRIGHT WHITE LIGHT is emanating from an OVALSHAPED

SPACECRAFT.

ROCKET:

What is that?!

Quill sees the FLICKERING framework of a JUMP POINT.

QUILL:

Doesn’t matter! That’s the jumppoint! GO! GO!

As they’re about to reach the jump point, Rocket sees a MANstanding casually atop the oval ship, LIGHT BURSTING THROUGHHIS BODY and into the craft - the source of the explosion.

ROCKET:

It’s a guy.

Quill doesn’t see as the Milano DISAPPEARS INTO THE JUMP

POINT.
