Same Night: The Kyln Prison

Peter explaining Drax that Gamora is not the only woman that has tried to kill him by telling him his past scars that's from the women he's been with before he got together and married Rose.

Peter pulls his collar down at bit to show Drax another scar on the right side of his collarbone, "I got, right here, a Kree girl tried to rip out my thorax." Drax looks away to Gamora as peter continues, "She caught me with this skinny little A'askavariian who worked in Nova Records." He let's go of his shirt, holding his arms out again, "I was trying to get information. You ever see an A'askavariian? They have tentacles and needles for teeth." He looks at Rose, "Again, we were broken up at the time, means nothing." Rose rolls her eyes, still not looking at him as he turns back to Drax, saying to him and Rose, "If you think I'm seriously interested in that, then..." Drax turns his head and gives him a cold look, Peter taken back but recovers quickly and states the obvious, "You don't care."

Rose interrupts Peter before he could say anything else, "But here's the point." She points to Gamora, "She betrayed Ronan. He's coming back for her." Drax glances at Gamora before looking back at the couple.

Peter cuts in and tells Drax, "And when he does, that's when you..." Peter draws his right finger across his throat to indicate slicing Ronan's throat.

Drax narrows his eyes confused and asks Peter seriously, "Why would I put my finger on his throat?"

Rose taken back by the weird question, "What?" She and Peter exchange a look before confusingly looking back at Drax who is looking at them questioningly and serious.

Peter realizes that Drax doesn't know what the finger across the throat means, Peter explains as he repeats the motion, "Oh, this is a symbol. This is a symbol for you slicing his throat."

Drax says slowly and darkly, "I would not slice his throat. I would cut his head clean off."

Rose quickly explains, "It's a general expression for you killing somebody."

Peter turns his head to Moloka Dar and asks as he draws his finger across his throat repeatedly, "You've heard of this. You've seen this, right? You know what that is."

Moloka Dar nods in agreement with a smile, "Yeah. Yeah."

Peter looks back at Drax, satisfied that Moloka Dar agrees with him and Rose, "Everyone knows."

Drax looks Moloka Dar with a slight glare and Moloka Dar immediately shakes his head with a frown, "No, no."

Rose shakes her head in annoyance while Peter looks down and sighs in disappointment. Rose gestures to herself and Peter with her hand as she explains, "What we're saying is, you want to keep her alive. Don't do his work for him." Peter nods in agreement.

Drax looks back at Gamora, debating for a couple moments, Gamora looks at Rose and Peter who both glance at her before looking back at Drax who then lets her go. Gamora drops down to the ground and coughs from the lack of breath.

Drax looks down at the knife in his hand and says to Moloka Dar, "I like your knife. I'm keeping it." Drax walks off and leaves the room.

Moloka Dar looks down sadly, muttering, "That was my favorite knife."

Rose's voice, "Listen!"

Gamora, Rose and Peter walk back to their cells; Gamora walking in front of Rose and Peter calmly and casually while Rose tells Gamora, "I could care less whether you live or whether you die."
