Don't assume you know anything about me, lady. [He bristles a bit, teeth pulled back from his lip.] You can be sassy and sarcastic all you like- whatever. I can get as much as I give. [This is a lie- Rocket is terrible at taking as much shit as he gives, but he's getting better at it, if only to put everything on equal footing.] But whatever you think about what I really am ain't the least bit true. Have you seen anything that looks like this? All the way like this?

[He gestures to his bipedal legs, flexes his unnaturally humanoid fingers, and just scowls, waiting for her to get it.] It ain't natural in any sense of the word.
