[Yondu's been stuck in this quagmire of self-hatred since not long before his arrival. His death, essentially. But there's something of an ego boost every time he sees someone excited to meet a space pirate. Like he actually did accomplish something in his life.]

[But he cracks a grin.]

Sure did. I lived on a ship, so all I did was go to other planets. Some of 'em for fun. Sometimes we did big heists.

I think I'm pretty much retired now. ['Retired', what a way to put it.] But yeah, it's a whole big universe out there. All kinds of shapes and colors and ways of thinkin'.

[Now where is this weird kid from that he knows about humans and space but isn't from space?]
