Peter Quill: You said you loved my mother. Ego: And that I did. My river lily who knew all the words to every song that came over the radio. I returned to Earth to see her three times. And I knew if I returned a fourth, well, I'd... I'd never leave. The Expansion... the reason for my very existence would be over. So, I did what I had to do. But... it broke my heart to put that tumor in her head. Peter Quill: What? Ego: Now, now, all right, I know that sounds bad... [Peter continuously shoots Ego with his Quad Blasters] Ego: [reforming] Who... in the *hell*... do you think you are? Peter Quill: *You killed my mother*! Ego: I tried *so hard* to find the form... The Form of David Hasselhoff: [changes form to David Hasselhoff] ... that best *suited you*... and this is the thanks I get? Ego: [changes back] You really need to *grow up*. [Ego pierces Quill with a beam of energy] Ego: I wanted to do this together... but I suppose you'll have to learn by spending the next thousand years as a *battery*!
