Rocket Raccoon: Quill, what's the other 88% of your plan? If we keep walking this direction, we won't have enough time to get back to the portal. Star-Lord: Kang may have played us into thinking he wanted to stop the crazy purple guy, even though he just wanted us to go back before the Summoner beat him up and stole his lunch money, but that doesn't mean we can't still stop Thanos. Gamora: What are you saying? Star-Lord: I'm saying we need to find the Collector and tell him what's going on. He'll know where to find Thanos, and then we can stop him from ever being brought to the Contest!
- Transmission #1 - Upon starting the Quest
Drax: I will not let you stop Thanos from being summoned! I will have my vengeance! He must pay for what he did to my family! Rocket Raccoon: I think you're all forgetting the most important part of our situation, which is that... Rocket Raccoon: THIS Collector is more likely to have me taxidermied than he us to A) pay us, or B) help us stop Thanos. Groot: I am Groot. Rocket Raccoon: You're crazy! He'd plant you in his garden Groot! Gamora: I agree with Peter. We need to take this opportunity while we still have it, and we don't have time to argue. Let's keep looking for the Collector. Rocket Raccoon: Why do I still hang out with you guys?

Star-Lord: There he is! Rocket, whatever you do, don't bring up the money thing. The Collector: The Guardians of the Galaxy! How did you escape your Crystals? Star-Lord: Hey Tanny! Long time no see! Lookin' for a crazy purple dude, name's Thanos, bout yay high. Seen him? Gamora: Peter, you're supposed to be mind-controlled. You shouldn't be so friendly! The Collector: I dare say the Guardians are malfunctioning! No matter, I shall dispose of you with my newly opened Kang! Now if you'll excuse me, I must prepare for the summoning. Rocket Raccoon: Real smooth there, Quill. Kang the Conqueror: Kang the Conqueror will not be ignored! You shall all be subject to my whims!
