Quotes 

• Moff Gideon : [to the Mandalorian, Dune, and Karga; about the Child]  You have something I want.

  Cara Dune : [to the Mandalorian]  Who is this guy?

  Moff Gideon : You may think you have some idea what you are in possession of. But you do not.

  The Mandalorian : [into his com]  Kuiil, are you back to the ship yet? They're onto us. Kuiil, come in!

  Moff Gideon : And in a few moments, it will be mine.

  The Mandalorian : Kuiil, do you copy? Kuiil?

  Moff Gideon : It means more to me than you will ever know.

  The Mandalorian : Kuiil? Kuiil, are you there? Come in, Kuiil! Kuiil, come in. Kuiil!

• Kuiil : Droids are not good or bad. They are neutral reflections of those who imprint them.

  The Mandalorian : I've seen otherwise.

• Kuiil : Do you trust me?

  The Mandalorian : From what I can tell, yes.

  Kuiil : Then you will trust my work. IG-11 will join me. And we do it not for payment, but to protect the child from Imperial slavery. None will be free until the old ways are gone forever.

  The Mandalorian : Okay.

  Kuiil : And the blurrgs will join me, as well.

  The Mandalorian : The blurrgs?

  Kuiil : I have spoken.

• Bike Scout Trooper #1 : I'll give you 20 credits for the helmet.

  Greef Karga : Ha ha! Not a chance! That's going on *my* wall!

  The Mandalorian : [quietly]  On your wall?

  Greef Karga : [quietly]  Go with it.

• IG-11 : Would anyone care for some tea?

  Kuiil : Please, lower your blasters. He will not harm you.

  The Mandalorian : That thing is programmed to kill the baby.

  Kuiil : Not anymore.

  [narrating over flashbacks] 

  Kuiil : It was left behind in the wake of your destruction. I found it laying where it fell. Devoid of all life. I recovered the flotsam and staked it as my own in accordance with the charter of the New Republic. Little remained of its neural harness. Reconstruction was quite difficult... but not impossible. It had to learn everything from scratch. This is something that cannot be taught with the twist of a spanner. It requires patience and repetition. I spent day after day reinforcing its development with patience and affirmation. It developed a personality as its experiences grew.

  The Mandalorian : [return to the present]  Is it still a hunter?

  Kuiil : No. But it will protect.

• Cara Dune : [arm-wrestling]  I got you, Mando.

  The Mandalorian : Care to double the bet?

  [the Child begins to Force-choke her] 

  The Mandalorian : No! No, no! Stop!

  [the Child lets her go] 

  The Mandalorian : We're friends, we're friends. Cara is my friend!

  Cara Dune : That is not okay!

  Kuiil : Hmm. Very curious.

  Cara Dune : Curious? It almost killed me!

  Kuiil : The story you told me of the mudhorn now makes more sense.

  The Mandalorian : What is it?

  Kuiil : What it is, I don't know. But what it does, this... this, I've heard rumors of.

  Cara Dune : What? When you worked for the Empire?

  Kuiil : When I was *sold* to the Empire, in indentured servitude.

  Cara Dune : Yet somehow, you walk free.

  Kuiil : I bought my freedom through the skill of my hands and the labor of three of your human lifetimes. Do not cast doubt upon that of what I am nor whom I shall serve.

• The Mandalorian : Let's go over the plan again.

  Greef Karga : We both enter the common house. We show the client the bait. We join him at the table. And you kill him.

  The Mandalorian : Tell me about his reinforcements.

  Greef Karga : They're all ex-Empire. As soon as they lose their paycheck, phew, they'll all scatter.

  The Mandalorian : And what if they don't?

  Greef Karga : They will.

  The Mandalorian : That's not good enough.

  Greef Karga : If, for argument's sake, a few of them don't realize that I'm their best path to alternative employment, and they elect to react impulsively, then these three fine Guild hunters, along with that battle-hardened shock trooper, will cut down anyone who bucks.

  The Mandalorian : How many will there be?

  Greef Karga : No more than four. He travels with, at most, a Fire Team. Trust me. Nothing can go wrong.

  [a winged beast attacks] 

• Cara Dune : Does your contact need to vet me?

  The Mandalorian : Doesn't know you're coming.

  Cara Dune : Really? That could be a problem.

  The Mandalorian : It won't. But if it is, that's his problem.

• Kuiil : [about the Child]  It hasn't grown much.

  The Mandalorian : I think it might be a Strand-Cast.

  Kuiil : I don't think it was engineered. I've worked in the gene farms. This one looks evolved. Too ugly.

  [Looks at Cara] 

  Kuiil : This one, on the other hand, looks like she was farmed in the Cytocaves of Nora.

• The Mandalorian : Bring me.

  Greef Karga : Bring you?

  The Mandalorian : Tell him you captured me. Get me close to him and I'll kill him.

  Greef Karga : That's a good idea. Give me your blaster.

  Cara Dune : This is insane.

  The Mandalorian : It's the only way.

  Cara Dune : Well, I'm coming with you.

  Greef Karga : No, no, no. That would them suspicious.

  Cara Dune : I don't care. I'm coming.

  The Mandalorian : Tell them she caught me.

  Greef Karga : Fine. Then she can bring the child.

  The Mandalorian : No. The kid goes back in the ship.

  Greef Karga : But without the child, none of this works!

  The Mandalorian : I have a plan. Kuill, ride back to the Razor Crest with the child and seal yourself in. When you're inside, engage ground security protocols. Nothing on this planet will breach those doors.

  Kuiil : Here's a comlink. I'll keep the child safe.

  [to Cara] 

  Kuiil : Don't forget to cover your stripes.

• The Mandalorian : It seems like a straightforward operation. They're providing the plan and firepower. I'm the snare.

  Cara Dune : With the kid?

  The Mandalorian : That's why I'm coming to you.

  Cara Dune : I don't know. I've been advised to lay low. If anybody runs my chain code, I'll rot in a cell for the rest of my life.

  The Mandalorian : I thought you were a veteran.

  Cara Dune : [her opponent from earlier pays her]  Come back soon. I've been a lot of things since. Most of them carry a life sentence. If I so much as book passage on a ship registered to the New Republic, I'm...

  The Mandalorian : I have a ship. I can bring you there and back with a handsome reward. You can live free of worry.

  Cara Dune : I'm already free of worry, and I'm not in the mood to play soldier anymore. Especially fighting some local warlord.

  The Mandalorian : He's not a local warlord. He's Imperial.

  Cara Dune : I'm in.

• IG-11 : I have prepared second meal. Would you care to be served here or below?

  The Mandalorian : I'm not hungry.

  [IG-11 leaves] 

  The Mandalorian : Under no circumstances does that thing leave the ship.

  Cara Dune : You got a real thing for droids, don't you?

  The Mandalorian : I got a real thing for *that* droid.

  Cara Dune : The Ugnaught said he re-wired it.

  The Mandalorian : That droid was designed to kill things. I don't care how much wiring he replaced. It goes against its nature.

  Cara Dune : Well, it shouldn't be a long job, anyway. We take out the head Imp, the rest will run like rats.

• Greef Karga : Sorry for the remote rendezvous, Mando, but things have gotten complicated since you were last here. It appears that introductions are in order. It seems we've both provided a security detail. I recommend the shock trooper guards the ship. These lava fields are lousy with Jawas.

  The Mandalorian : She's coming with me.

  Greef Karga : But the town is now run by ex-Empire. If a Rebel Dropper is with us, they'll all get their hackles up.

  The Mandalorian : She's coming.

  Greef Karga : Fine. Fine. At least cover your tattoo. No need to flaunt it.

• Cara Dune : So, we're going to Nevarro?

  The Mandalorian : Have you ever been?

  Cara Dune : No. We lost a lot of our forces there. The city's dug in pretty deep. No cover when you drop in. It stayed in Empire control 'til the end of the war.

  The Mandalorian : The warlord we're taking out was an Imperial officer.

  Cara Dune : What station?

  The Mandalorian : Hard to tell. No insignia anymore. I took out the safehouse when I snatched the kid. More Imps have reinforced since.

  Cara Dune : There's something more going on.

  The Mandalorian : Maybe. We'll find out more when we land.

• The Mandalorian : [leading Cara to his armory]  Pick one.

  Cara Dune : [trying out various weapons as they talk]  You trust the contact?

  The Mandalorian : Not particularly. He and I had a run-in last time I was there on some Guild business.

  Cara Dune : So then why are we going?

  The Mandalorian : I don't have a choice. You saw what happened on Sorgan. They'll keep sending hunters. The kid'll never be safe until the Imp is dead.

  Cara Dune : And you're okay with bringing him back there?

  The Mandalorian : Not really. That's why I'm bringing you.

• Greef Karga : There's something you should know. The plan was to kill you and take the kid. But after what happened last night, I couldn't go through with it. Go on. You can gun me down here and now and it wouldn't violate the Code. But if you do, this child will never be safe.

  Cara Dune : We'll take our chances.

  Greef Karga : The Imperial client is obsessed with obtaining this asset. You tried to run, but where did it get you?

  Cara Dune : This is ridiculous.

  Kuiil : Perhaps you should let him speak.

  Greef Karga : Listen, we both need the client to be eliminated. Let me take the child to him, and then you two...

  The Mandalorian : No.

  Cara Dune : Let's just kill him and get out of here.

  The Mandalorian : He's right.

  Cara Dune : [he holsters his blaster]  What are you doing?

  The Mandalorian : As long as the Imp lives, he'll send hunters after the child.

  Cara Dune : It's a trap.

• The Mandalorian : I've run into some problems.

  Kuiil : I figured as much. Why else would you return?

  The Mandalorian : I wanna hire your services.

  Kuiil : I'm retired from service.

  The Mandalorian : I can pay you handsomely, Ugnaught.

  Kuiil : I have a name. It is Kuiil.

  The Mandalorian : I need someone to protect the little one, Kuiil.

  Kuiil : I'm not suited for such work. I can re-program IG-11 for nursing and protocol.

  The Mandalorian : No. I don't want that droid anywhere near him.
