We've already seen part of this exchange thanks to the first trailer, but the new dialogue confirms the entire moral narrative of the film. The whole "finding what you were looking for right next to you all along" is basically the entire thrust of the movie and Peter's arc. And it's not just about him loving Gamora, either.

He wants to find his father, finds him, it turns out he's a disappointment (most nailed on prediction of all), and then he realises that actually the family he's been looking for is right here in the Guardians. Sniff, hand me a hanky please. And maybe his REAL father is actually Yondu, without actually being his biological one: he taught him everything, his attitude comes from the Ravager captain and he owes him far more than he does Ego.

Trust Drax's silliness to ruin the moment. That's sort of the point, I suppose.
