Nebula quotes from What If...?

Nebula

Hey, Howard.

Howard the Duck

You!

Nebula

How's business?

Howard the Duck

Well, you know, the world's falling apart and I'm running a casino. Things are great!

Nebula

This was all a setup. Giving me the Yondu case, pointing me to the shield codes. All so you could start an invasion. You swore an oath to defend Xandar.

And look where it got us. The world's falling apart. People are at each other's throats. We can't go on like this. And sometimes, there's just no shame in surrender.

Nebula

No shame? And what else?

Well, of course, Ronan promised to keep me in charge in exchange for my cooperation. There was no way to access the data core without a cyborg. Then I remembered I recruited one.

Nebula

You've been using me this whole time.

You're a machine. What did you expect?

Nebula

Now about those guns-

Howard the Duck

Guns? Nebula, even if I had, say, heavy weaponry, you know, military grade, sure to kill, which I’m NOT saying I do, breaking them out would be bad for business!

Nebula

Nova Prime’s helping Ronan launch an invasion. How’s that going to help business?

Howard the Duck

Business takes care of itself.

Nebula

The people of Xandar are going to suffer.

Howard the Duck

They’ll drink more!

Nebula

Nova Prime will take your liquor license.

Howard the Duck

[beat] NO! [to Korg, Groot and Miek] Rock, Paper, Scissors, strap up! It’s happy hour!

How did you know?!

Nebula

"Seek the light, be the light, never stray from its path." The moment you told me to solve this by 'any means necessary', I knew you'd broken our oath. Still doesn't make it hurt any less.
