« So I guess this could all be mine someday. »
« Rocket? Rocket, you there? Dammit. What are you doing, Peter ? »
« Dance with me. »
« No. I’m not… »
« Come on. This is Sam Cooke, one of the greatest Earth singers of all time. Drax thinks you’re not a dancer. »
« If you ever tell anyone about this, I’ll kill you. »
« When are we going to do something about this…unspoken thing between us ? »
« What unspoken thing ? »
« This Cheers-Sam-and-Diane-guy-andgirl-on-a-TV-show-who-dig-eachother-but-never-say-it-’cause-whenthey-do-the-ratings-would-go-down sort of thing ? »
« There is no unspoken thing between us. »
« Well, that’s a Catch-22. Because if you said there was, it would be spoken, and then you’d be a liar. So by saying there isn’t, you’re telling the truth, and admitting there is. »
« That’s not…What we should be discussing right now is that something about this place doesn’t feel right. »
« What are you talking about? You were the one who wanted me to come here! »
« That girl, Mantis. She’s afraid of something. »
« Why are you trying to take this from me ? »
« I’m not… »
« He’s my father. He’s blood… »
« You have blood on earth. You never wanted to return there. »
« Again, you made me come here! And Earth?! Earth is the place my mother died in front of me. »
« No, it’s because that’s real, and this is a fantasy. »
« This is real. I’m only half human, remember ? »
« That’s the half I’m worried about. »
« Oh, I get it. You’re jealous because I’m part god ! You like me being the weak one ! »
« Uh. You were insufferable to begin with. I haven’t been able to reach Rocket. I’m going to see if I can get a signal outside. »
« You know, this isn’t Cheers after all. It’s whatever the show is where one person is willing to, you know, open themselves up to new possibilities, and the other person is just kind of a jerk who doesn’t trust anyone ! It’s a show that doesn’t exist - it would never be made, it would be so horrible! It would get zero ratings ! »
« You’re having a conversation with yourself ! I don’t know what Cheers is ! »
« I finally found my family, don’t you understand that !? »
« I thought you already had. »
« So this is how it ends, then? Our whole story. Like this? You and me ? »
« Get it through your head, Peter. There is no you and me. There never was. »
