Peter Quill: My mother told everyone my father was from the stars. She had brain cancer, so everyone thought she was delusional. Ego: Peter... Peter Quill: Listen, I'd love to believe all of this, I really would. But you left the most wonderful woman ever to die alone. Ego: I didn't want to leave your mother, Peter. If I don't return regularly return to my planet and the light within it, this form will wither and perish. Peter Quill: So why didn't you come back? Why did you send Yondu? A criminal, of all people, to come and fetch me? Ego: I loved your mother, Peter! I couldn't stand to set foot on an Earth where she wasn't living! You can't imagine what that's like! Peter Quill: I know exactly what that feels like! I had to watch her die! Ego: [pause] Over the millions and millions of years of my existence, I've made many mistakes, Peter. But you're not one of them. Please give me the chance to be the father she would want me to be.
