"I am… Groot. I am Groot! I am…"
"Yeah, thanks for that — listen, Rocket here.
There’s only four things you gotta know about Groot.

"I am Groot! "
"Sorry, ‘Flora Colossus’, not ‘tree person’.
Geeze. Number two, he’s real kind and passive until you make him mad.
Three, he can only say three words; try and guess which ones?
And four, me and him have been together forever.
You mess with him, and you mess with me, and my really big gun.
