I posted this in the box office thread, because that’s where the post I’m replying to was, but since it’s about the movie and not the box office take, I figgered I’d bring it here:

> [@Prediction: Guardians of the Galaxy makes $120 Million+ its opening weekend](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/prediction-guardians-of-the-galaxy-makes-120-million-its-opening-weekend/694242/68):
>
> Saw it today, loved it, hope it does well and catapults Chris Pratt into super stardom.
> 
> I have a question though: The pink skinned woman Star Lord finds in his ship in the first quarter of the movie, what the hell happens to her? As soon as he said “I keep on forgetting that you’re around”, I was waiting for that Chekhov’s Gun to fire but it never did. It seemed like a totally unnecessary scene and I don’t know why it was in the movie.

First, you are misremembering his line; it was “I’m gonna be honest; I forgot you were still here”. He doesn’t “keep on forgetting” that she’s on his ship; she’s just last night’s hookup that hasn’t left yet. She’s there to establish that Quill is a Lothario; that’s all.
