The Guardians discuss the destruction of the Milano ship and who is to blame. Rocket reveals he stole batteries to power his bomb, meant to destroy Ego's core. They realize someone has followed them and Nebula offers to help if freed. Ego arrives and claims to be Peter's father. Rocket explains how to operate the bomb to Groot but worries he may push the wrong button. In the chaos nobody can find tape to disable the death button, stressing Rocket further.

[All the Guardians are out of their ship and notice the Milano is destroyed.
Gamora: Look at this! Where is the other half of our ship?
Peter Quill: My ship. Gamora: Either one of you could have gotten us through that field… had you flown with what’s between your ears instead of what’s between your legs! Peter Quill: If what’s between my legs had a hand on it… I guarantee I could have landed this ship with it. Gamora: [in a scolding tone] Peter, we almost died because of your arrogance. Peter Quill: More like because he stole… the Anulax batteries! Drax the Destroyer: They’re called Harbulary batteries. Peter Quill: No, they’re not! Rocket Raccoon: Do you know why I did it, Star-Munch? Hmm? Peter Quill: I'm not gonna answer to "Star-Munch." Rocket Raccoon: I did it because I wanted to! Peter Quill: Dick. Rocket Raccoon: What are we even talking about this for? We just had a little man save us by blowing up fifty ships! Drax the Destroyer: How little? Rocket Raccoon: [holding his thumb and forefinger close together] Well, I don't know, like this? Gamora: [skeptically] A little one-inch man saved us? Rocket Raccoon: Well, if he got closer, I'm sure he would be much larger. Peter Quill: It's how eyesight works, you stupid raccoon. Rocket Raccoon: Don't call me a racoon! Peter Quill: I'm sorry. I took it too far. I meant trash panda. [Rocket looks around in confusion] Rocket Raccoon: Is that better? Drax the Destroyer: I don't know. Peter Quill: [snickering] It's worse. It's so much worse. Rocket Raccoon: You son of a… Peter Quill: Hey! Rocket Raccoon: I’ve had it with you! Peter Quill: No! Back up! Nebula: [notices a ship coming through] Someone followed you through the jump point. Set me free, you’ll need my help. Gamora: I’m not a fool, Nebula. Nebula: You are a fool if you deprive yourself a hand in combat. Gamora: You’ll attack me the moment I let you go. Nebula: [terrible at lying] No, I won’t. Peter Quill: You’d think an evil supervillain would learn how to properly lie. Drax the Destroyer: I bet it’s the one-inch man. Ego: After all these years, I’ve found you. Peter Quill: And who the hell are you? Ego: I figured my rugged good looks would make that obvious. My name is Ego… and I’m your dad, Peter. Rocket Raccoon: The metal’s too thick. For the bomb to work, we’d actually need to place it on Ego’s core. And our fat butts ain’t gonna fit through those tiny holes. Peter Quill: Well… Rocket Raccoon: That’s a terrible idea. Peter Quill: Which is the only kind of idea we have left. Rocket Raccoon: Unbelievable. "Rocket, do this. Rocket, do that." Peter Quill: What a day. Rocket Raccoon: Alright, first you flip this switch, then this one. That activates it. Then you push this button, which will give you five minutes to get outta there. Now, whatever you do, don't push this button, because that will set off the bomb immediately and we'll all be dead. Now, repeat back what I just said. Groot: I am Groot... Rocket Raccoon: Uh-huh. Groot: I am Groot. Rocket Raccoon: That's right... Groot: [points to death button] I am Groot! Rocket Raccoon: No! No, that's the button that will kill everyone! Try again. Groot: Hm. I am Groot... Rocket Raccoon: Mmhm. Groot: I am Groot...? Rocket Raccoon: Uh-huh. Groot: I am Groot. Rocket Raccoon: No! That's exactly what you just sai- how's that even possible?! Which button is the one you're supposed to push? Point to it. Rocket Raccoon: NOOO! Peter Quill: [From skylight] Hey, you're makin' him nervous! Rocket Raccoon: Shut up and give me some tape! Does anyone have any tape out there?! I wanna put some tape over the death button. Peter Quill: I don't have any tape! Lemme check! [jetpacks away to Yondu; in the background] Yo, Yondu! Do you have a-- [explosion] Do you have any tape? [pause as more explosions are heard in the background] Gamora! Do you have any tape? ...TAPE! Ah, never mind! Drax! Do you have any tape?! Yeah! Scotch tape would work! Then why would you ask me if scotch tape would work, if you don't have any?! [reappears] Nobody has any tape! Rocket Raccoon: Not a single person has tape?! Peter Quill: Nope! Rocket Raccoon: Did you ask Nebula? Peter Quill: [thinks] Yes! Rocket Raccoon: Are you sure? Peter Quill: I asked Yondu, and she was standing right next to him! Rocket Raccoon: I knew you were lying! Peter Quill: [Groot grabs the bomb and runs back] You have priceless batteries and an atomic bomb in your bag! IF ANYBODY'S GONNA HAVE TAPE, IT'S YOU!! Rocket Raccoon: That's exactly my point! I have to do EVERYTHING!! Peter Quill: You are wasting a lot of time here! Groot: Whee! Rocket Raccoon: We’re all gonna die.
