He's a kid, like me, Dad! I was just trying to help him get home.
PPym
Home? Like, his homeworld?
HHope
No... Like, Missouri.

You guys are making a mistake. Peter's not behind all this; it's his dad. He says he's like a weird alien space god, or something.
(sarcastic) Yeah, great! Blame the absentee father. I get that enough from my own son.
(to Thor) Hey, Lighting Boy, we kind of have a "team thing" going on here!
And I have a "duty thing" going on here, Mustache Man, to see it that the boy submits to Asgardian justice!
Which entails... what, exactly?
Eternal flagellation, impalement, some light maiming — you know, standard stuff.
WSWinter Solider
We need to kill him. (Hope gasps) He's a threat even without the seedling.
Well, what do you know? He speaks.
And who would have thought; he's advocating murder.
You really think a child is going to be so willing to fight his own father? (Pym chuckles) What?
PPym
You're not a parent are you, Wendy?
There is an ancient Wakandan proverb, from the days before our tribes united: "One only wins a two-front war by getting out of your enemy's way."
Meaning...?
If you can't fight 'em both, let 'em fight each other.
PPym
I know how you feel, Peter. Since we lost Hope's mom, our home hasn't felt the same either. And to be honest, neither have I. The pain, the anger, the loneliness... I know it can feel like you're drowning in it, but I haven't. And you don't have to either, so long as you let the people around you pull you out.
Bucky, when you see that kid, all you see is a target — But I see a future; a life he can lead, the good he can do...and I see it you too.
WSWinter Solider
(coldly) You. Don't. Know. Me.
Steve Rogers did. (Bucky's eyes widen) And the man he knew — the friend he loved — would never take that shot.
(to Hope) Fifty years later, Captain America's still saving my ass.
EEgo
You know you don't have the power to destroy me.
(holds up the Celestial Seedling) But you do!
EEgo
(warningly) Peter...!
Quill And with this, a little bit of you, will always live inside me. (absorbs the Seedling)
EEgo
(angry) Deep down, I guess I've always known you'd turn out to be a disappointment! You are human after all!
Actually, old man? My mom says I'm a Star-Lord. (blasts away Ego's corporeal form)
This American libation is surprising delicious; what do you call it?
FFoster
Uh... Light beer?
Huh, how exotic! ANOTHER!
Many, many thanks to all of you for this fine victory banquet... But I am afraid I must bid thee farewell.
Come on, what about dessert? Hank burnt a pie.
The boy may have destroyed Ego's corporeal form, but his planet still lives; and the universe will not know peace until I have avenged the ones we've lost.
PPym
Perhaps you forgot, Goldilocks; we have sort of a "team thing" going on here.
(smirks) Then I suggest you suit up...team.
Ah. Isn't this nice? No better time of year... You know, let me tell you one of my favorite Yuletide stories... 'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the tower, the Avengers were fighting a brand-new superpower. The stockings were hung by the chimney--
[Thor's stocking falls from the chimney, followed by Tony Stark and Steve Rogers crashing into it.]
Well, not anymore.
JHJustin Hammer
You know, when I was seven years old, I wanted a Red Rider BB Gun more than anything in the world. I begged my parents, I begged Santa for it, accidentally got my tongue stuck on a telephone pole...
HHostage
Isn't that a... a classic movie?
RHRussian Henchman
Yes! The one with the leg lamp!
Hey, shut up. But I didn't get the BB gun that Christmas! Do you know why?
H2Hostage 2
You'll shoot your eye out!
Because this is America! And if you want something, you gotta take it!
