Mantis Quotes in Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

Mantis: [on Thanos] Death follows him like a shadow.

Mantis: [they stand outside a ship run aground in a desert after Masters Bear and Croc ran in] We gotta get in there.

Crane: But Master Shifu said...

Mantis: You're seriously afraid? Even Master Chicken's going in, and he's a *chicken*!

Crane: [Crane is flying, with Mantis on his hat] Wings of surveillance!

Mantis: Why do you do that?

Crane: Do what?

Mantis: Just 'cause you say "wings of" before something, it doesn't mean that you're doing a special move. It's like me saying "antenna of power!" or "thorax of... making sandwiches!"

Crane: Wings of disagreement.

Crane: Master, what are we going to do?

Shifu: *You* are going to find out where Kai is. Follow the trail of those jade creatures but do not engage For with every foe he faces Kai becomes stronger.

Crane: Why me? Is it because I asked?

Shifu: No. It is because you can fly. Go

Mantis: Should have kept your beak shut!

Shifu: And take Mantis.

Mantis: What? Oh man, is it because I...

Shifu: Yes.

Mantis: [as he is turned into a jade zombie] Antenna of Power! Agh, it didn't work!

[Po slurps up noodles, one ends up draped on his nose like Shifu's mustaches. Everyone starts chuckling]

Po: What?

Mantis: Oh, nothing... Master Shifu.

Po: Oh, yeah, yeah.

[imitating Shifu]

Po: You will never be the Dragon Warrior, unless you lose 500 pounds, and brush your teeth!

[everyone except Tigress laughs]

Po: What is that noise you're making? Laughter? I never heard of it! Work hard, panda, and maybe someday, you will have ears like mine.

[he holds two bowls over his head to look like Shifu's ears]

Tigress: Shifu loved Tai Lung like he had never loved anyone before... or since. And now, he has a chance to make things right. To train the true Dragon Warrior. And he's stuck with you. A big, fat, panda, who treats it like a joke.

[Po makes a sudden funny face]

Tigress: Oh that is it!

[she lunges at Po]

Mantis: Wait, my fault! I accidentally tweaked his facial nerve!

[Po falls to the ground revealing a lot of needles in his back]

Mantis: And may... have also stopped his heart.

Tigress: [seeing Po bounce down the palace steps] If he's smart, he won't come back up those steps.

Monkey: But, he will.

Viper: He's not gonna quit, is he?

Mantis: He's not gonna quit bouncing, I'll tell you that.

Po: [dazed] What are you pointing at? Oh! Okay. Sorry, I just wanted to see who the Dragon Warrior was.

Oogway: How interesting.

Tigress: Master, are you pointing at... me?

Oogway: Him.

Po: Who?

[Moves around, Oogway's finger follows him]

Oogway: You.

Po: What?

Oogway: [Raising Po's arm with his stick] The universe has brought us the Dragon Warrior!

Po: What?

Tigress, Crane, Monkey, Mantis, Viper: What?

Shifu: WHAT?

Mr. Ping: WHAT?

Po: Ow! I thought you said acupuncture would make me feel *better*!

Mantis: Trust me, it will. It's just not easy finding the right nerve points under all this...

Po: Fat?

Mantis: Fur! I was gonna say fur.

Po: Sure you were.

Mantis: Who am I to judge a warrior based on his size, I mean, look at me!

Viper: [as they're fighting Tai Lung on a rope bridge] Monkey!

Mantis: Go!

[Monkey gives the rope to Mantis and charges into battle]

Mantis: What was I thinking?

Mantis: You know, guys, I never expected to die like this. I thought I'd meet a nice girl, settle down, and then she'd eat my head.

Mantis: I didn't have any problems with my dad. Maybe it's 'cause Mom ate his head before I was born...

Mantis: Fear the bug!

Mantis: [spotting the Wolf Boss] Isn't that the guy who hammered you in the face?

Po: I hate that guy.

Mantis: Looks like this is the final chapter.

Swan: Depends on what book you're reading.

Mantis: It's beautiful.

Drax: It is. And so are you.

[pause]

Drax: On the inside.

[from Trailer]

Mantis: When I touch someone I can feel their feelings.

[touches Quill's hand]

Mantis: You feel... love!

Peter Quill: Yeah, I guess - Yeah, I feel a general unselfish love for everyone.

Mantis: No. *Sexual* love...

Peter Quill: No. No, I don't.

Mantis: [points at Gamora] ... for her!

Peter Quill: No!

[Drax begins laughing hysterically]

Drax: She just told everyone you deepest, darkest secret!

[Drax continues laughing]

Peter Quill: Dude! Come on! I think you're reacting a little bit!

Drax: You must be so embarrassed!

[continues cracking up]

Drax: Do me! Do me! Do me!

Mantis: If I touch someone, I can feel their feelings.

Peter Quill: You read minds?

Mantis: No. Telepaths know thoughts. Empaths feel feelings. Emotions.

[to Peter]

Mantis: May I?

Peter Quill: Alright.

[Mantis touches Peter's hand]

Mantis: You feel... love.

Peter Quill: Yeah, I guess I feel a general, unselfish love for...

Mantis: No. Romantic, sexual love.

Peter Quill: No, no. No, I don't.

Mantis: [points to Gamora] For her.

Peter Quill: No! That is not...

Drax: [laughing hysterically] She just told everyone you're deepest, darkest secret!

Peter Quill: Dude, come on! I think you're overreacting a little bit.

Drax: [still laughing] You must be so embarrassed!

[to Mantis]

Drax: Do me! Do me, do me!

[Mantis touches Drax and she starts laughing hysterically]

Mantis: I've never felt such humor!

[Drax and Mantis are laughing and pointing at Peter]

Peter Quill: So unbelievably uncool.

[Mantis walks over to Gamora to touch her]

Gamora: Touch me, and the only thing you're gonna feel is a broken jaw.

Mantis: [sees Rocket] I love that scruffy dog, he's so cute I'm gonna die!

[Rocket snarls at Mantis]
