Quotes 

• Moff Gideon : [about the Darksaber]  Mesmerizing, isn't it? Used to belong to Bo-Katan. Yes. I know you've been traveling with Bo-Katan. A friendly piece of advice, assume that I know everything. Like the face that your wrist launcher has fired its one and only salvo.

  The Mandalorian : Where is this going?

  Moff Gideon : *This* is where it's going. I'm guessing that Bo-Katan and her boarding party have arrived the bridge, seeking me or, more accurately, this. But I'm not there. And I imagine that they've killed everyone on the bridge, being the murderous savages that they are. And now, they are beginning to panic. You see, she wants this. Do you know why? Because it brings power. Whoever wields this sword... has to right to lay claim to the Mandalorian throne.

  The Mandalorian : You keep it. I just want the kid.

  Moff Gideon : Very well. I've already got what I want from him. His blood. All I wanted was to study his blood. This Child is extremely gifted and has been blessed with rare properties that have the potential to bring order back to the galaxy. I see your bond with him. Take him, but you will leave my ship immediately and we will go our separate ways.

• Moff Gideon : You have an impressive fire team protecting you. But I think we all know, after a valiant stand, everyone in this room will be dead but me... and the Child.

  Koska Reeves : [seeing another ship approach]  An X-wing.

  Cara Dune : [sarcastic]  One X-wing? Great. We're saved.

• Bo-Katan Kryze : [seeing Mando has captured Moff Gideon]  What happened?

  Cara Dune : He brought him in alive, that's what happened. And now the New Republic's gonna have to double the payment.

  Moff Gideon : That's not what she's talking about. Why don't you kill him now and take it? It's yours now.

  The Mandalorian : What is?

  Moff Gideon : The Darksaber. It belongs to you.

  The Mandalorian : [offering it to Bo-Katan]  Now... it belongs to her.

  Moff Gideon : She can't take it. It must be won in battle. In order for her to wield the Darksaber again, she would need to defeat you in combat.

  The Mandalorian : I yield. It's yours.

  Moff Gideon : Oh, no. It doesn't work that way. The Darksaber doesn't have power. The story does. Without that blade, she's a pretender to the throne.

  Bo-Katan Kryze : He's right.

  The Mandalorian : Come on, just take it.

• Moff Gideon : [Mando defeats him in a duel]  You're sparing my life? Well, this should be interesting.

• Fennec Shand : The ray shields have been breached. We're being boarded.

  Bo-Katan Kryze : How many life forms?

  Fennec Shand : None.

  Moff Gideon : You're about to face off with the dark troopers. You had your hands full with one. Let's see how you do against a platoon.
