Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Page #2

Rocket, Quill, and Gamora JET-PACK OUT OF THE WAY, while theyBLAST at the creature. Drax HOLLERS, CHARGING it with his

twin blades. Quill TURNS ON his mask.

But we FOCUS on baby Groot, who trots up to the stereospeakers and Walkman.

He fiddles with two wires. They SPARK, the stereo POWERS UP,

and “MR. BLUE SKY” by ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA PLAYS as

THE CREDITS START

Baby Groot DANCES IN-FOCUS in the foreground as the Guardiansget PUMMELED by the beast OUT-OF-FOCUS in the background.

Baby Groot’s dancing is arrhythmic and many of his “dancemoves” are nonsensical mixtures of trembling, swaying, andmaking weird faces.

But it is joyous.

As Groot struts, Quill comes ROLLING behind him. As he

stands, he sees Groot dancing and looks at him, worried.

QUILL:

Groot, look - !

A TENTACLE FLIES IN FROM OFF-SCREEN, KNOCKING Quill OUT-OFFRAME

as Groot dances on, blissfully unaware.

Groot, smiling, dances onward, as DRAX, in the clutches of a

giant tentacle, is SLAMMED NUMEROUS TIMES BESIDE HIM.

Groot arrives at GAMORA, who is blasting at the OFF-SCREENBEAST.

GAMORA:

Get out of the way, Groot! You’regoing to get hurt!

Groot stops dancing. He WAVES at her.

GAMORA (CONT’D)

Hi.

She AERO-JETS back into the fray.

As Groot DANCES, Drax FALLS directly behind him.

Groot FREEZES.

Drax stares at him a moment, suspicious. Groot stays frozen.

Drax LEAVES, and Groot COMMENCES THE DANCE where he left off.

Groot sees an INSECT FLYING BY.

Suddenly dancing is forgotten and GETTING THIS BUG is all-

important. He CHASES it.

He HOPS up and grabs it from the air...

And starts EATING it.

Rocket spots this and FLIES DOWN beside him, worried. He

PRIES OPEN GROOT’S MOUTH with his fingers, frantically trying

to get it out.

ROCKET:

Spit it out! Spit it out!

Groot COUGHS IT OUT. The bug FLIES crookedly away, one wingmulched.

Rocket JETS OFF back toward the battle, muttering:

ROCKET (CONT’D)

Disgusting.

Groot sees something else and becomes furious. We follow hisline of sight to a GRAZING ORLONI.

Groot SCREAMS A WAR CRY and ATTACKS IT. He GROWS HIS

BRANCHES AROUND IT, and the terrified Orloni DARTS AWAY,

DRAGGING GROOT WITH IT.

Groot’s anger becomes panic as he is DRAGGED AROUND BY THE

ORLONI and can’t let go.

The Orloni DARTS around the power station and underneath theRAGING BATTLE, a CRYING Groot bouncing along behind it.

Finally, he LETS GO and goes TUMBLING, ROLLING directly INTOTHE CAMERA.

And then stands up and, as if none of it happened at all,

starts DANCING AGAIN.

We PAN and see the speakers and Walkman beside him, and we

realize Baby Groot has traveled around the entire PowerStation and has arrived back where he started
