Guardians of the Galaxy

Spoken by Ronan

"They call me terrorist. Radical. Zealot. Because I obey the ancient laws of my people, the Kree, and punish those who do not. Because I do not forgive your people for taking the life of my father and his father and his father before him. A thousand years of war between us will not be forgotten!"

―Ronan the Accuser^[src]

"I promised Thanos I would retrieve the Orb for him only then will he destroy Xandar for me."

―Ronan the Accuser^[src]

"I don’t recall killing your family. I doubt I’ll remember killing you either."

―Ronan the Accuser to Drax the Destroyer^[src]

"Xandar, you stand accused. Your wretched peace treaty will not save you. It will be the tinder on which you burn!"

―Ronan the Accuser^[src]

"I was mistaken. I do remember your family. Their screams were pitiful and..."

―Ronan the Accuser to Drax the Destroyer^[src]

"Behold! Your Guardians of the Galaxy! What fruit have they wrought? Only that my father and his father shall finally know vengeance. People of Xandar, the time has come to rejoice and renounce your paltry gods! Your salvation is at hand!"

―Ronan the Accuser^[src]

Spoken about Ronan

"Move!"
"Why?"
"Ronan may have questions for you."

―Korath and Star-Lord^[src]

"Well, I almost died getting it for you."
"An occupational hazard, I'm sure, in your line of work."
"Some machine-headed freak, working for a dude named Ronan."
"Ronan? I'm sorry, Mr. Quill. I truly am. But I want no part of this transaction if Ronan is involved!"
"Woah! Woah, woah, woah! Who's Ronan?"
"A Kree fanatic, outraged by the peace treaty, who will not rest until Xandarian culture, my culture, is wiped from existence!"
"Woah. Come on!"
"He's someone whose bad side I'd rather not be on."
"What? What about my bad side?"
"Farewell, Mr. Quill!"

―Star-Lord and The Broker^[src]

"Ronan is destroying Xandarian outposts throughout the galaxy. I should think that would call for some slight response on the part of the Kree."
"We signed your peace treaty, Nova Prime. What more do you want?"
"At least a statement from the Kree Empire saying that they condemn his actions. He is slaughtering children, families."
"That is your business. Now, I have other matters to attend to."
"Prick."

―Nova Prime and Kree Ambassador^[src]

"Well, some good news. Looks like we've apprehended one of Ronan's compatriots."
"Gamora. Surgically modified and trained as a living weapon. The adopted daughter of the Mad Titan, Thanos. Recently, Thanos lent her and her sister Nebula out to Ronan, which leads us to believe that Thanos and Ronan are working together."

―Garthan Saal and Rhomann Dey^[src]

"It's like I said, she's got a rep. A lot of prisoners here have lost their families to Ronan and his goons. She'll last a day, tops."

―Rocket Raccoon to Star-Lord^[src]

"Ronan murdered my wife, Ovette, and my daughter, Kamaria. He slaughtered them where they stood. And he laughed! Her life is not yours to take. He killed my family, I shall kill one of his in return."

―Drax the Destroyer to Moloka Dar^[src]

"I am no family to Ronan or Thanos. I'm your only hope at stopping him."
"Woman, your words mean nothing to me!"
"Hey! Hey, hey, hey! Hey! You know, if killing Ronan is truly your sole purpose, I don't think this is the best way to go about it."
"Are you not the man this wench attempted to kill?"
"Well, I mean, she's hardly the first woman to try and do that to me… You don't care… But here's the point. She betrayed Ronan. He's coming back for her. And when he does, that's when you..."
"Why would I put my finger on his throat?"
"What? No, it's a symbol. This is a symbol for you slicing his throat."
"I would not slice his throat. I would cut his head clean off."
"It's a general expression for you killing somebody. You've heard of this. You've seen this, right? You know what that is."
"Yeah. Yeah."
"Everyone knows."
"No, no."
"What I'm saying is, you want to keep her alive. Don't do his work for him."

―Gamora, Drax the Destroyer, Peter Quill, Moloka Dar^[src]

"That Orb is my opportunity to get away from Thanos and Ronan. If you free us, I'll lead you to the buyer directly and I'll split the profit between the three of us."

―Gamora to Peter Quill and Rocket Raccoon^[src]

"This is one fight you won't win."

―Nebula to Ronan the Accuser^[src]

"Behold. This one shows spirit. He shall make a keen ally in the battle against Ronan."

―Drax the Destroyer^[src]

"When Thanos took my home world, he killed my parents in front of me. He tortured me; turned me into a weapon. When he said he was going to destroy an entire planet for Ronan, I— I couldn't stand by"

―Gamora to Star-Lord^[src]

"We have to bring this to the Nova Corps. There's a chance they can contain it."
"Are you kidding me? We're wanted by the Nova Corps! Just give it to Ronan!"
"So he can destroy the galaxy?"
"What are you, some saint all of a sudden? What has the galaxy ever done for you? Why would you wanna save it?"
"Because I'm one of the idiots who lives in it!"
"Peter, listen to me. We cannot allow the Stone to fall into Ronan's hands. We have to go back to your ship and deliver it to Nova."

―Gamora, Rocket Raccoon, and Star-Lord^[src]

"At last! Hahaha! I shall meet my foe and destroy him!"
"You called Ronan!?"

―Drax the Destroyer and Star-Lord^[src]

"Nebula, please. If Ronan gets this Stone, he'll kill us all."
"Not all. You will already be dead."

―Gamora and Nebula^[src]

"Come on, Groot. Ronan has the Stone. The only chance we got is to get to the other side of the universe as fast as we can and maybe, just maybe, we'll be able to live full lives before that whack-job ever gets there."

―Rocket Raccoon to Groot^[src]

"Yondu! Listen to me! Ronan has something called an Infinity Stone."
"I know what he's got, girl."
"Then you know we must get it back! He's gonna use it to wipe out Xandar. We have to warn them. Billions of people will perish."
"Is that what she's been filling your head with, boy? Sentiment?"

―Gamora and Yondu Udonta^[src]

"If you kill me now, you are saying goodbye to the biggest score you have ever seen."
"The Stone? I hope you got something better than that. Because ain't nobody stealing from Ronan."
"We got a ringer."
"Is that right?"
"She knows everything there is to know about Ronan. His ships, his army."
"He's vulnerable."

―Peter Quill, Yondu Udonta, and Gamora^[src]

"We have to stop Ronan."
"How?"
"I have a plan."
"You've got a plan?"
"Yes."
"First of all, you're copying me from when I said I had a plan."
"No, I'm not. People say that all the time, it's not that unique of a thing to say."
"Secondly, I don't even believe you have a plan."
"I have part of a plan!"
"What percentage of a plan do you have?"
"You don't get to ask questions after the nonsense you pulled on Knowhere."

―Gamora, Rocket Raccoon, Peter Quill, and Drax^[src]

"I, for one, am not gonna stand by and watch as Ronan wipes out billions of innocent lives."
"But, Quill, stopping Ronan, it's impossible. You're asking us to die."
"Yeah, I guess I am… I..."
"Quill… I have lived most my life surrounded by my enemies. I will be grateful to die among my friends."

―Peter Quill, Rocket Raccoon, and Gamora^[src]

"The Stone reacts to anything organic. The bigger the target, the bigger the power surge."
"All Ronan's gotta do is touch the Stone to the planet's surface and zap. All plants, animals, Nova Corps."
"Everything will die."
"So, Ronan does not make the surface. Rocket will lead a team to blow a hole in the Dark Aster's starboard hull. Then, our craft and Yondu's will enter."
"Won't there be hundreds of Sakaaran soldiers inside?"
"I think of Sakaaran as paper people."
"Once they know we're on board, Ronan will isolate himself behind impenetrable security doors on deck. Which I can disable by dismantling the power source."
"We'll make it to the flight deck, and I'll use the Hadron Enforcer to kill Ronan."
"Once Ronan is dead, we will retrieve the Stone. Use these devices to contain it. If you touch it, it will kill you."

―Gamora, Star-Lord, Kraglin Obfonteri, and Drax the Destroyer^[src]

"A fleet approaches, they appear to be Ravagers."

―Nebula to Ronan the Accuser^[src]

"Keep Ronan up there, Saal. We'll take care of the people down here."
"I can't believe I'm taking orders from a hamster."

―Rocket Raccoon and Garthan Saal^[src]

"You will never make it to Ronan."

―Korath^[src]

"Nebula! Sister, help us fight Ronan. You know he's crazy!"
"I know you're both crazy."

―Gamora and Nebula^[src]

"Your wife and child shall rest well knowing that you have avenged them."
"Yes. Of course, Ronan was only a puppet. It's really Thanos I need to kill."

―Gamora and Drax the Destroyer^[src]

Dialogue

"They call me terrorist. Radical. Zealot. Because I obey the ancient laws of my people the Kree and punish those who do not. Because I do not forgive your people for taking the life of my father and his father and his father before him. A thousand years of war between us will not be forgotten."
"You can't do this! Our government signed a peace treaty."
"My government knows no shame. You Xandarians and your culture are a disease."
"You will never rule Xandar..."
"No. I WILL CURE IT!"

―Ronan the Accuser and Nova Corps Soldier.^[src]

"Ronan, Korath has returned."
"Master, he is a thief, an outlaw who calls himself Star-Lord. But we have discovered he has an agreement to retrieve the Orb for an intermediary known as The Broker."
"I promised Thanos I would retrieve the Orb for him. Only then will he destroy Xandar for me. Nebula, go to Xandar and get me the Orb."
"It will be my honor."
"It will be your doom. If this happens again, you’ll be facing our father without his prize."
"I'm a daughter of Thanos. Just like you."
"But I know Xandar."
"Ronan has already decreed that I—"
"Do not speak for me… You will not fail."
"Have I ever?"

―Nebula, Korath, Ronan the Accuser, and Gamora^[src]

"You have been betrayed, Ronan."
"We know only that she has been captured. Gamora may yet recover the Orb."
"No! Our sources within the Kyln say Gamora has her own plans for the Orb. Your partnership with Thanos is at risk. Thanos requires your presence. NOW!"

―The Other and Ronan the Accuser^[src]

"With all due respect, Thanos, your daughter made this mess, and yet you summon me?"
"I would lower my voice, Accuser."
"First, she lost a battle to some primitive."
"Thanos had put Gamora under your charge!"
"Then she was apprehended by the Nova Corps."
"You are the one here with nothing to show for it!"
"Your sources say she was meant to betray us the whole time!"
"LOWER YOUR TONE! I may be your—"

―Ronan the Accuser argues with The Other before killing him^[src]

"I only ask that you take this matter seriously."
"The only matter I do not take seriously, boy, is you. Your politics bore me. Your demeanor is that of a pouty child. And apparently, you alienated my favorite daughter, Gamora. I shall honor our agreement, Kree, if you bring me the Orb. But return to me again empty handed... And I will bathe the starways in your blood."

―Ronan the Accuser and Thanos^[src]

"Ronan, the Nova Corps sent a fleet to defend the prison."
"Well, then, send Necrocraft to every corner of the quadrant. Find the Orb. Any means, any price."
"And this place?"
"Nova can't know what we're after. Cleanse it!"

―Nebula and Ronan the Accuser^[src]

"Ronan the Accuser!"
"You are the one who transmitted the message?"
"You killed my wife. You killed my daughter!"

―Drax the Destroyer and Ronan the Accuser^[src]

"BOY! I would reconsider your current course!"
"Master! You cannot! Thanos is the most powerful being in the universe!"
"Not anymore. YOU CALL ME "BOY"?! I will unfurl one thousand years of Kree justice on Xandar AND BURN IT TO ITS CORE!! Then, Thanos, I'm coming for you!"

―Thanos, Korath and Ronan the Accuser^[src]

"After Xandar, you're going to kill my father?"
"You dare to oppose me?"
"You see what he has turned me into. You kill him, I will help you destroy a thousand planets."

―Nebula and Ronan the Accuser^[src]

"The starboard kern has been breached! We have been boarded!"
"Continue our approach."
"But the Nova Corps have engaged!"
"None of that will matter once we reach the surface."

―Nebula and Ronan the Accuser^[src]

"People of Xandar, the time has come to rejoice and renounce your paltry gods! Your salvation is at hand!"
"Ooh, child, things are gonna get easier. Ooh child, things will get brighter. You listen to these words. Ooh child, things are gonna get easier. Ooh child, things'll get brighter. Then bring it down hard! Someday..."
"What are you doing?"
"Dance-off, bro. Me and you. Gamora... Subtle, taking it back."
"What are you doing?"
"I'm distracting you, you big turd blossom!"

―Ronan the Accuser and Star-Lord^[src]

"You're mortal! How!?"
"You said it yourself, bitch. We're the Guardians of the Galaxy."

―Ronan the Accuser and Star-Lord^[src]

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

Spoken about Ronan

"A memorial to the War Over Xandar, when you single-handedly saved the galaxy."
"Single-handedly?"
"Whoa. It's perfect."
"You've got to be kidding."
"Why am I dead? Why did you all kill me?!"
"That's Ronan. That's you."

―Ego, Gamora, Star-Lord and Drax the Destroyer^[src]

Captain Marvel

Spoken by Ronan

"We'll be back for the weapon."
"The core?"
"The woman."

―Ronan and an Accuser^[src]

Dialogue

"Ronan."
"The Accusers completed their operation... but the greater mission was a failure, thanks to your team."
"It was a trap to lure our operative Vers to Torfa and kidnap her."
"Give is their location. We'll take care of the terrorist threat."
"By bombing them out of the galaxy? No, we'll handle this."
"A cell of Skrulls anywhere is a threat to Kree everywhere. Where are they?"
"They are..."
"Lost. They are lost for now. But we will find them."
"Do so, or we will."

―Yon-Rogg, Ronan, and Korath^[src]

"Deploy ballistic warheads… That's impossible. C-53 doesn't have a defense system advanced enough to destroy our warheads."
"That's not their defense system, Ronan."
"Take her down."

―Ronan and an Accuser^[src]

Avengers: Endgame

Spoken about Ronan

"Ronan's located the Power Stone, I'm dispatching you onto his ship."
