And in it, a great hero, named Kevin Bacon, teaches an entire city full of people with sticks up their butts that, dancing, well, is the greatest thing there is." Which is a great quote on its own, but it's Gamora's reply that is the real kicker.

5. "Who put the sticks up their butts?" – Gamora.

When Peter Quill attempts to talk Drax out of killing Gamora, he points out that Ronan will be coming for Gamora. Then, he visually indicates by sliding his finger across his throat that Drax could use the opportunity to kill Ronan. However, Drax doesn't quite follow what Quill is suggesting.
