Quotes 

• Cara Dune : [Moff Gideon comes at them in a TIE fighter]  Our blasters are useless against him.

  Greef Karga : Hey, let's make the baby do the magic hand thing. Come on, baby! Do the magic hand thing.

  [Karga waves his hand to try to get the Child to use the Force, instead the baby waves back] 

  Greef Karga : I'm out of ideas.

• The Mandalorian : I haven't heard that name spoken since I was a child.

  Greef Karga : On Mandalore?

  The Mandalorian : I was not born on Mandalore.

  Greef Karga : But you're a Mandalorian.

  Cara Dune : Mandalorian isn't a race.

  The Mandalorian : It's a Creed.

• Moff Gideon : Your astute panic suggests that you understand your situation. I would prefer to avoid any further violence, and encourage a moment of consideration. Members of my escort have completed assembly of an E-Web heavy repeating blaster. If you are unfamiliar with this weapon, I am sure that Rebel Shock Trooper Carasynthia Dune of Alderaan will advise you that she has witnessed many of her ranks vaporized mid-descent facing the predecessor of this particular model. Or perhaps the decommissioned Mandalorian hunter, Din Djarin, has heard the songs of the Siege of Mandalore, when gunships outfitted with similar ordnance laid waste to fields of Mandalorian recruits in the Night of a Thousand Tears. I advise disgraced magistrate Greef Karga to search the wisdom of his years and urge you to lay down your arms and come outside. The structure you are trapped in will be razed in short order, and your storied lives will come to an unceremonious end.

  Greef Karga : What do you propose?

  Moff Gideon : Reasonable negotiation.

• Greef Karga : This is our only path out. Can you clear it?

  IG-11 : If you go near this child, I will have no choice but to kill you.

  Greef Karga : I understand. Can you do anything to move the grate?

  IG-11 : Yes, of course.

  Greef Karga : [seeing him go to work]  Oh, I love IG units.

• Cara Dune : These tunnels will be lousy with Imps in a matter of minutes. We should at least discuss an escape plan.

  Armorer : If you follow the descending tunnel, it will lead you to the underground river. It flows downstream toward the lava flats.

  Greef Karga : I think we should go.

  The Mandalorian : I'm staying. I need to help her and I need to heal.

  Armorer : You must go. A foundling is in your care. By creed, until it is of age or reunited with its own kind, you are as its father. This is the Way. You have earned your signet.

  [welding it onto his shoulder plate] 

  Armorer : You are a clan of two.

  The Mandalorian : Thank you. I will wear this with honor.

• Cara Dune : The minute we open that door, we're dead.

  Greef Karga : We're dead if we don't. At least out there, we've got a shot.

  Cara Dune : That's easy for you to say. I'm a Rebel Shock Trooper. They'll upload me to a Mind Flayer.

  Greef Karga : Those aren't real. That was just wartime propaganda.

  Cara Dune : I don't care to find out.

• The Mandalorian : [declining Karga's offer]  I'm afraid I have more pressing matters at hand.

  [Cara walks up and gently touches the Child's ear] 

  Cara Dune : Take care of this little one.

  Greef Karga : Or maybe, it'll take care of you.

• IG-11 : They will not be satisfied with anything less than the child. This is unacceptable. I will eliminate the enemy and you will escape.

  The Mandalorian : You don't have that kind of firepower, pal. You wouldn't even get to daylight.

  IG-11 : That is not my objective.

  Cara Dune : We're getting close. Saddle up.

  IG-11 : I still have the security protocols from my manufacturer. If my designs are compromised, I must self-destruct.

  The Mandalorian : What are you talking about?

  IG-11 : I am not permitted to be captured. I must be destroyed.

  Greef Karga : Are we gonna keep talking or are we gonna get out of here?

• The Mandalorian : [finding a pile of Mandalorian armor]  Did you know about this? Is this the work of your bounty hunters?

  Greef Karga : No. When you left the system and took the prize, the fighting ended, and the hunters just melted away. You know how it is. They're mercenaries. They're not zealots.

  The Mandalorian : Did you do this? Did you?

  Greef Karga : No!

  Armorer : It was not his fault. We revealed ourselves. We knew what could happen if we left the covert. The Imperials arrived shortly thereafter. This is what resulted.

  The Mandalorian : Did any survive?

  Armorer : I hope so. Some may have escaped off-world.

  The Mandalorian : Come with us.

  Armorer : No. I will not abandon this place until I have salvaged what remains.

• The Mandalorian : You're staying here?

  Greef Karga : Well, why not? Nevarro is a very fine planet. And now that the scum and villainy have been washed away, it's very respectable again.

  The Mandalorian : As a bounty hunter hive?

  Greef Karga : Some of my favorite people are bounty hunters.

• Cara Dune : I'm shooting my way out of here.

  Greef Karga : What about you, Mando?

  The Mandalorian : I know who he is. It's Moff Gideon.

  Cara Dune : No. Moff Gideon was executed for war crimes.

  The Mandalorian : It's him. He knew my name.

• Greef Karga : This is the lava river.

  The Mandalorian : The ferry droid is fried.

  Greef Karga : Yeah, but if we push the boat out, we can get it to float downstream. Come on.

  The Mandalorian : Looks old. Will it take the heat?

  Greef Karga : You got a better idea?

  The Mandalorian : Guess not.

• Cara Dune : Is there another way out?

  Greef Karga : No, that's it.

  The Mandalorian : What about the sewers?

  Greef Karga : Sewers?

  The Mandalorian : The Mandalorians have a covert down in the sewers. If we can get down there, they can help us escape.

  Cara Dune : Yeah, sewers are good.

  The Mandalorian : Checking for access points.

  Cara Dune : [glancing outside]  What the hell are they waiting for?

  [watching stormtroopers set up a cannon] 

  Cara Dune : Hold up. They're setting up an E-Web.

  Greef Karga : It's over.

  The Mandalorian : I found the sewer vent.

  Cara Dune : Let's get the hell out of here.

• Greef Karga : Perhaps this specimen of soldier might consider joining our ranks.

  Cara Dune : Yeah... I've got some clerical concerns regarding my chain code.

  Greef Karga : And if you would agree to become my enforcer, clerical concerns would be the least of your worries.

• Greef Karga : That's it! We're free!

  The Mandalorian : [using his visor's thermal scanner]  No. No, we're not. Stormtroopers. They're flanking the mouth of the tunnel. It looks like an entire platoon. They must know we're coming.

  Cara Dune : Stop the boat. Hey, droid, I said stop the boat. Hey! I'm talking to you. I said stop!

  [she shoots its dome off] 

  Greef Karga : We're still moving.

  Cara Dune : Looks like we fight.

  The Mandalorian : There are too many.

  Cara Dune : Well, then what do you suggest? 'Cause I can't surrender.
