Quotes
-
Boba Fett : Welcome back, Santo. I have to confess I thought you were gone. I owe you a nice long soak in the bacta tank when this is done.
-
Boba Fett : I thought I smelled something. If you're looking for a job, you're too late.
Cad Bane : I've already got a job. I'm here to negotiate on behalf of the Pyke Syndicate.
Boba Fett : I don't negotiate with gutless murderers.
Cad Bane : If that's not the Quacta calling the Stifling slimy.
Boba Fett : Clear out. And tell your bosses we know they're outnumbered.
Cad Bane : I wouldn't be counting on the people of Freetown to be coming anytime soon. I paid Marshal Vanth a visit. You should've never left him without his armor. Before you get any ideas, I've got back shooters too.
-
Boba Fett : Clear out and take your hoodlum gang with you.
Cad Bane : I've known you for a long time, Boba. One thing I can't figure. What's your angle?
Boba Fett : This is my city. These are my people. I will not abandon them.
Cad Bane : Like the Tuskens.
Boba Fett : Don't toy with me. I'm not a little boy any longer, and you are an old man.
Cad Bane : I'm still faster than you.
Boba Fett : That may be, but I have armor.
Cad Bane : Let's find out.
-
Cad Bane : Let the spice move through Mos Espa, and all this can be avoided.
Boba Fett : No.
Cad Bane : What do you propose then?
Boba Fett : I will only negotiate with the Pyke Syndicate.
Cad Bane : You mean the one that massacred your Tusken family and blamed it on a speed bike gang? You know it's true.
Fennec Shand : Boba.
Cad Bane : [he reveals his blaster in its holster] Let's do this right here, right now.
Fennec Shand : Not now. You pick when.
Boba Fett : He killed Vanth. The reinforcements aren't coming.
Fennec Shand : We fight on our terms, not theirs.
Boba Fett : I can take him.
Fennec Shand : You're emotional.
Boba Fett : I can take him.
Fennec Shand : We need to adjust. You'll have your moment.
-
Boba Fett : Why does it have to be the right arm?
Fennec Shand : You should take a nice soak in the bacta tank.
Boba Fett : It's being used.
-
The Mandalorian : [the Pykes surround the Sanctuary] They're here.
Boba Fett : It was just a matter of time. Is Cad Bane with them?
The Mandalorian : Don't see him. Any news on the others?
Boba Fett : Would be a miracle if any survived. All three gotras of Mos Espa turned on us.
The Mandalorian : It was the smart move.
Boba Fett : It was. I suppose you'll be heading out.
The Mandalorian : I'm not.
Boba Fett : You should.
The Mandalorian : It's against the Creed. I gave you my word. I'm with you until we both fall.
Boba Fett : You really buy into that bantha fodder?
The Mandalorian : I do.
-
Boba Fett : It's a coordinated attack. We'll have to gather our people.
Fennec Shand : There's no way to overcome their advantage. We need to take out command and control.
Boba Fett : Does the Pyke Syndicate still operate out of Mos Eisley?
Mok Shaiz's Majordomo : Oh, it's difficult to say for certain that...
[Fennec cocks her rifle]
Mok Shaiz's Majordomo : Mos Eisley? Yes, now that I think of it, indeed they do. More specifically, the Desert Survey Office.
Boba Fett : Can you do that? Can you get there in time?
Fennec Shand : Worth a shot.
-
The Mandalorian : The way I see it, we have two choices. We wait until they get into position and launch a siege on their terms.
Boba Fett : Or?
The Mandalorian : We rush out there, catch them unaware. Then we can escape to your ship at the palace.
Boba Fett : I can't abandon Mos Espa. These people are counting on me.
The Mandalorian : Okay, then. We'll both die in the name of honor.
Boba Fett : You sure you wanna stay?
The Mandalorian : This is the way.
-
Drash : Come in, boss. Come in. Something feels strange over here.
Boba Fett : Have the Pykes arrived?
Drash : Not yet, but something feels off.
[the Mods begin taking fire from the Aqualish]
Drash : [taking cover] The locals are attacking.
The Mandalorian : I thought we had a treaty.
Boba Fett : So did I.
-
Boba Fett : [in the remains of the Sanctuary] We are at war.
Fennec Shand : It was inevitable.
Boba Fett : Even if we win, there might not be anything left of this city.
-
Fennec Shand : Were you able to hire any foot soldiers?
The Mandalorian : I think so. Cobb Vanth is raising a garrison for us.
Fennec Shand : What price did you negotiate?
The Mandalorian : Free.
Boba Fett : Free?
The Mandalorian : He's been holding off the spice trade single-handedly. I told him we could shut it down.
Fennec Shand : That's not free. That's most of Jabba the Hutt's business.
The Mandalorian : That's what the town wants.
Boba Fett : I agree to their terms.
-
Fennec Shand : As we wait for the reinforcements to arrive with Cobb Vanth from Freetown, our forces are quietly patrolling the streets of the old city. The Pyke Syndicate has not yet arrived in numbers, but the minute they do, we will see them before they see us. The truce you negotiated with the other families of Mos Espa will ensure that they will remain neutral and allow us to gain the upper hand by surprising the arriving soldiers. The Gamorrean guards are posted in the Klatooinian territory at the starport and will alert us if any of the Pyke Syndicate forces arrive. Krrsantan is in Trandoshan territory, keeping tabs on the streets of the municipality in front of City Hall. Drash and Skad are with the other Mods keeping an eye on the Worker's District and the Aqualish Quarter. As you can see, all our flanks are covered. Nobody is sneaking up on us. When the people of Freetown arrive, we will have the forces required to pivot our strength to whatever region the Pykes choose to attack from.
Boba Fett : For now?
Fennec Shand : We wait.
8D8 : Lord Fett? There is someone here to see you.
Boba Fett : [sarcastically to Fennec] I thought you said nobody could sneak up on us.
-
Boba Fett : Tell your client negotiations are terminated.
Cad Bane : You're going soft in your old age.
Boba Fett : We all do.
Mok Shaiz's Majordomo : [Bane leaves] That was an impressive display of restraint. Exemplary strategem. If I may be so bold as to offer additional counsel...
Boba Fett : I wonder how much he would pay for the Twi'lek.
Mok Shaiz's Majordomo : Understood. Many pardons. I should never have interjected.
-
Mok Shaiz's Majordomo : You may not know this about me, in fact, how could you, except perhaps what vestiges remain of my accent, but... I was educated on Coruscant. Not that that makes me better in any way.
Boba Fett : Get to it.
Mok Shaiz's Majordomo : Yeah, uh... I attended finishing academy. My parents were not wealthy by any means. I specialized in Civic Council Negotiations. Now, if you would feel confident empowering me to negotiate on your behalf, I'm fairly certain we would be granted passage off-world with, at worst, some theatrical, symbolic, groveling gestures and an exchange of funds.
Boba Fett : Very well. Give me your tablet. I will write out my statement and what I am willing to pay.
Mok Shaiz's Majordomo : I shall go as your emissary. I have no compunction whatsoever genuflecting or even groveling if needs be, which would save you from any potential bruising of ego, so to speak.
Boba Fett : [giving him the finished tablet] Now go before I change my mind.
-
Fennec Shand : There's a lot of credits to be made from that orange powder.
Boba Fett : In the long run, it is better for us, as well. Mos Espa can become a prosperous city under our protection. Spice is killing our people. Let Marshal Vanth and the people of Mos Pelgo...
The Mandalorian : Freetown is its name now.
Boba Fett : Let the people of Freetown know they have my word.
The Mandalorian : You can tell Cobb Vanth himself when he arrives here with the reinforcements.
Boba Fett : You are confident he will come?
The Mandalorian : I am.
Boba Fett : Well, if he does not, we are doomed. Our skill is no match for the Syndicate numbers. We must buy time until they arrive. We'll lockdown at the palace.
Skad : It's a bad idea.
Boba Fett : Is that so?
Skad : It is.
Boba Fett : And where do you propose we wait for reinforcements?
Skad : Here.
Boba Fett : Here? In these ruins?
[Skad nods]
Boba Fett : Nonsense. The palace offers greater protection.
Drash : If you want to abandon Mos Espa and hide in your fortress, go ahead. We're staying. The people who live here need our protection.
Boba Fett : [considering it, he glances at Fennec and Mando] We'll stay.
-
Boba Fett : Why must everyone bow at me?
Fennec Shand : Eh, it's better than shooting.
Boba Fett : Are those my only two choices?
Fennec Shand : When you run the town, it is.
Boba Fett : [taking a piece of fruit offered by a local shopkeeper] Thank you. We are not suited for this.
Fennec Shand : If not us, then who?
-
The Mandalorian : [fighting two battles droids, even the Darksaber can't penetrate their shields] I can't get through.
Boba Fett : These two will destroy the whole city!
The Mandalorian : Our energy weapons can't get through, and our kinetic weapons have too much velocity.
Boba Fett : [dodging cannon fire] Move! Can you protect the others?
The Mandalorian : I can distract them for a spell. Why?
Boba Fett : [dodging more fire] Watch out! We need reinforcements.
The Mandalorian : From where? You've run out of friends.
Boba Fett : [taking off into the sky] Protect the others.
