Matt Berry: 8D8

Quotes 

• 8D8 : And here you see the businesses that were under the protection of the name that should not be spoken.

  Boba Fett : You can say "Jabba."

  8D8 : Under the protection of Jabba the Hutt.

  Boba Fett : He's dead. He can't hurt you.

  8D8 : I was concerned that you would feel insulted.

  Boba Fett : Why would I feel insulted?

  8D8 : Because you felt threatened.

  Boba Fett : Well, now I am insulted.

• Lortha Peel : I am Lortha Peel. I am a water-monger in the Worker's District.

  8D8 : What is your petition to Lord Fett?

  Lortha Peel : Well, with apologies, sir... no one respects you.

  8D8 : Enough!

  Boba Fett : Let him speak.

  Lortha Peel : Ever since Lord Fortuna was... perished, the streets have turned to chaos.

  Boba Fett : Well, this is the first I'm hearing of it.

  Lortha Peel : No, it's true. And I am insulted on your behalf at the disrespect these urchins are showing you. Especially in light of the, uh, well, you know...

  Boba Fett : What?

  Lortha Peel : The assassination attempt.

• 8D8 : After the sail barge disaster, there was a power vacuum. Bib Fortuna assumed Jabba's mantle. Under Master Bib's watchful eye, Mos Espa was divided amongst three families. The Trandoshans took the city center. The Aqualish, the Worker's District here. And the Klatooinians, the starport and upper sprawl. Master Bib did not have the power of Jabba, so he relied on uneasy alliances to preserve his tribute and title. All of this while lining the pockets of Mayor Mok Shaiz.

  Boba Fett : Where does that leave us now?

  8D8 : Everyone is waiting to see what kind of leader you are.

  Boba Fett : And the assassins?

  Fennec Shand : Mayor has no power. Somebody else is behind that play.

  Boba Fett : The Hutts.

  Fennec Shand : Could be. You want me to ask around?

  Boba Fett : Would they know if you did?

  Fennec Shand : We should assume so.

• 8D8 : Excuse me, Lord Fett.

  Boba Fett : [with his new rancor]  Not now. I'm busy.

  8D8 : We heard back from the Mayor's office. He remains completely unavailable for at least the next 20 days.

  Boba Fett : [to the rancor keeper]  Feed the rancor, a full ronto carcass from the larder. I think it's hungry.

  [leaving with 8D8] 

  Boba Fett : Tell Fennec to suit up. We're not waiting for an appointment.
