Quotes 

• Cad Bane : Cobb Vanth.

  Cobb Vanth : And who might you be?

  Cad Bane : Whatever Fett is paying you, we'll match, and all you've got to do is stay put and let things play out.

  Deputy Scott : Hey, the Marshal ain't for sale.

  Cobb Vanth : I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name.

  Cad Bane : I'd be careful where I was sticking my nose if I were you.

  Cobb Vanth : Is that friendly advice or a threat?

  Cad Bane : Boba Fett is a cold-blooded killer who worked with the Empire.

  Cobb Vanth : You tell your spice runners Tatooine is closed for business. This planet's seen enough violence.

  Cad Bane : You should've never given up your armor.

  [he reveals his blaster in its holster, and Cobb instinctively reaches for his own; after a tense standoff, Scott makes the first move, but Bane gets the better of them both] 

  Cad Bane : Tatooine belongs to the Syndicate. As long as the spice keeps running, everyone will be left alone.

• Cobb Vanth : I still don't see what all that's got to do with me.

  The Mandalorian : I need you to lead a garrison. Your people are good fighters, and there's plenty of credits in it for them, too.

  Cobb Vanth : The peace is intact, Mando. We took out that dragon. My people don't want to fight no more.

  The Mandalorian : Your town might be good for now, but it's all part of the same planet. We need good people to step up or the spice is bound to come through these parts.

  Cobb Vanth : As long as I'm here, that's not a problem, so why should they risk their lives for this Boba Fett?

  The Mandalorian : Mos Pelgo might be good right now...

  Weequay Proprietor : Freetown.

  The Mandalorian : What?

  Cobb Vanth : It's called Freetown now.

  Weequay Proprietor : We changed the name. Suits us better.

  The Mandalorian : Well, I fought side by side with the citizens of Freetown, and they're brave people, and the Pyke Syndicate has us outnumbered, and we need your help.

  Weequay Proprietor : The town wants no part of it. That's a city folk fight.

  The Mandalorian : Is that what you say, too, Marshal?

  Cobb Vanth : We're square, you and me.

  The Mandalorian : Yes, we are. But I didn't think you were one to back down from bullies.

  Cobb Vanth : See, that's what I like about you, Mando. That big smile of yours lets you get away with anything.

  The Mandalorian : There's no easy way to ask for a favor.

  Cobb Vanth : I'll tell you what. Things are tough around here, but I'll see what I can do.

• Cobb Vanth : Is that a Naboo starfighter?

  The Mandalorian : That's what it started off as. Haven't seen you since you gave up your armor. How have you been?

  Cobb Vanth : More careful. Where's the little guy?

  The Mandalorian : Back with his own folk.

  Cobb Vanth : That's too bad. I guess we both lost something we were fond of.

• Deputy Scott : You want to park your starship, you got to do it out there in the flats.

  The Mandalorian : I'm looking for Marshal Vanth.

  Deputy Scott : I don't think you heard what I said.

  The Mandalorian : I heard you.

  Cobb Vanth : I'll take it from here, Deputy.

  [Scott leaves] 

  Cobb Vanth : He's new. Still a bit jumpy.

• Cobb Vanth : [after Mando asks for help from the townspeople]  Get the word out. I want all men and women of fighting age to come to town. I want to have a meeting.

  Weequay Proprietor : It's not our problem, Marshal.

  Cobb Vanth : No, but it might be after they hear what I'm gonna say.
