Ego: I hired Yondu to pick you up after your mother passed away. But, instead of returning you, Yondu kept you. I have no clue as to why. Peter Quill: I'll tell ya why; I was a skinny little kid who could slip into places adults couldn't. Made it easier for thieving. Ego: Well, I've been trying to track you down ever since. Drax: I thought Yondu was your father. Peter Quill: What? You're trying to tell me that this whole time, you thought Yondu was my actual blood relative? Drax: You look exactly alike! Rocket: *One's blue!* Peter Quill: No, he's not my father! Yondu was the guy who abducted me, kicked the crap out of me so I could learn to fight... and kept me in terror by threatening to eat me. Ego: [shocked] Eat you? Peter Quill: Yeah. Ego: Oh, that son of a bitch!

I have a proposition for you. I hired Yondu to pick you up when your mother passed away. But instead of returning you... Yondu kept you. I have no clue as to why. Well, I'll tell you why. Because I was a skinny little kid who could squeeze into places adults couldn't. It made it easier for thieving. Well, I've been trying to track you down ever since. I thought Yondu was your father. What? We've been together this whole time... ...and you thought Yondu was my actual blood relative? You look exactly alike. One's blue! No, he's not my father! Yondu was the guy who abducted me. Kicked the crap out of me so I could learn to fight. And kept me in terror by threatening to eat me. - Eat you? - Yeah. Oh, that son of a bitch! How'd you locate us now? Well, even where I reside, out past the edge of what's known... ...we've heard tell about the man they call Star-Lord. What say we head out there right now? Your associates are welcome. Even that triangle-faced monkey there. I promise you... ...it's unlike any other place you've ever seen. And there... ...I can explain your very special heritage. Finally get to be the father I've always wanted to be. Excuse me. I've gotta take a whiz. I'm not buying it. Let's go take a walk. I am Mantis. What are you doing? Smiling. I hear it is the thing to do to make people like you. Not if you do it like that. Oh... I was raised alone on Ego's planet. I do not understand the intricacies of social interaction.
