• Fennec Shand : By any chance, are you looking for work?

  The Mandalorian : I could be.

  Fennec Shand : The pay is good.

  The Mandalorian : What's the bounty?

  Fennec Shand : No bounty. We need muscle.

  The Mandalorian : Boba Fett.

  Fennec Shand : He sure would appreciate it.

  The Mandalorian : Tell him it's on the house. But first, I got to pay a visit to a little friend.

• Lieutenant Reed : Run your beacon for me, N-1.

  The Mandalorian : Was I doing something wrong, officer?

  Lieutenant Reed : You're not allowed to fly that fast next to a commercial ship. You're also operating without a beacon. I'm gonna need you to run one for us.

  The Mandalorian : Sorry, officer, I got a little carried away there. Transmitting now.

  Lieutenant Reed : Hmm. Your engine model doesn't match your power drive.

  The Mandalorian : We just built her. I was taking her up for a test flight. Haven't been able to update the registration just yet.

  Lieutenant Reed : We're gonna need to see your title tabs. Send us a ping.

  The Mandalorian : Yeah, sorry, officer, but my transmitter isn't hooked up yet. I'll head right back to Mos Eisley and get it sorted out.

  Lieutenant Reed : Relinquish your flight controls for remote-control access.

  Captain Carson Teva : Hold on a second there, Lieutenant. I think we can let him off with a warning this time.

  The Mandalorian : Thank you, officer. I'll have that taken care of.

  Captain Carson Teva : One thing before you go.

  The Mandalorian : Yes?

  Captain Carson Teva : Your voice is mighty familiar. Did you used to fly a Razor Crest?

  The Mandalorian : I think you have the wrong guy, officer.

  Captain Carson Teva : That ship showed up on a transponder log back in Nevarro in an incident involving Imperial remnants. I'm just connecting some dots here. You mind answering a few questions?

  [pressing a button on his control panel, Mando flies away in the blink of an eye] 

  Lieutenant Reed : H-How did it jump? He didn't power up his hyperdrives.

  Captain Carson Teva : Didn't jump, kid. Those were his sublight thrusters.

  Lieutenant Reed : There's no trace of him on our sensors. We reporting this?

  Captain Carson Teva : You wanna go back to base, fill out reports all day?

  Lieutenant Reed : No, sir.

• Armorer : You are too weak to fight the Darksaber. It will win if you fight against it. You cannot control it with your strength.

  The Mandalorian : I want to try again.

  Armorer : Persistence without insight will lead to the same outcome. Your body is strong, but your mind is distracted.

  The Mandalorian : I am focused.

  Armorer : The blade says otherwise.

  Paz Vizsla : Maybe the Darksaber belongs in someone else's hands.

  The Mandalorian : Maybe.

  Paz Vizsla : It was forged by my ancestor, founder of House Vizsla.

  The Mandalorian : And now it belongs to me.

  Paz Vizsla : Because you won it in combat.

  The Mandalorian : That's right.

  Paz Vizsla : And now I will win it from you.

  Armorer : Do you agree to this duel, Din Djarin?

  The Mandalorian : I do.

• Peli Motto : [building Mando a new ship]  Well? How was it?

  The Mandalorian : Wizard.

  Peli Motto : Ha. Those J-type pulse engines really tighten the old evacuation port, don't they? Oh, by the way, an old friend of yours dropped by, said she was looking for you.

  The Mandalorian : A friend of mine?

  Peli Motto : Don't worry. I told her I didn't know where you were. Then I locked her out and engaged the hangar security system.

  The Mandalorian : She tell you her name?

  Fennec Shand : Fennec Shand.

  Peli Motto : [after jumping in surprise, to one of her pit droids]  I thought you said that the hangar security system was on. Don't get away from me. You come back right here. This is the third mistake this week. Someone's getting deprogrammed.

• Armorer : What shall I forge?

  The Mandalorian : Something for a foundling.

  Armorer : This is the way.

  The Mandalorian : For a specific foundling. Grogu.

  Armorer : He's no longer in your care. He is with his own kind now.

  The Mandalorian : I want to see him, make sure he's safe.

  Armorer : In order to master the ways of the Force, Jedi must forgo all attachment.

  The Mandalorian : That is the opposite of our Creed. Loyalty and solidarity are the way.

  Armorer : What shall I forge for the foundling Grogu?

• Armorer : All this talk of the Empire, and they lasted less than 30 years. Mandalorians have existed 10,000. What do you know of this blade?

  The Mandalorian : I am told it is the Darksaber.

  Armorer : Indeed. Do you understand its significance?

  The Mandalorian : Whoever wields it can lead all of Mandalore.

  Armorer : If it is won by Creed in battle. It is said will defeat 20, and the multitudes will fall before it. if, however, it is not won in combat and falls into the hands of the undeserving, it will be a curse unto the nation, Mandalore will be laid to waste and its people scattered to the four winds.

  The Mandalorian : The hilt is of a quality of beskar I have never seen before.

  Armorer : It was forged over 1,000 years ago by the Mandalore Tarre Vizsla. He was both Mandalorian and Jedi.

  The Mandalorian : I have met Jedi

  Armorer : Then you have completed your quest.

  The Mandalorian : I have.

  Armorer : Then you may join our covert as we rebuild.

  The Mandalorian : This is the way.

  Paz Vizsla : This is the way.

  Armorer : This is the way.

• Armorer : Paz Vizsla, have you ever removed your helmet?

  Paz Vizsla : No.

  Armorer : Has it ever been removed by others?

  Paz Vizsla : Never.

  Armorer : This is the way.

  Paz Vizsla : This is the way.

  Armorer : Din Djarin, have you ever removed your helmet? Have you ever removed your helmet? By Creed, you must vow.

  The Mandalorian : I have.

  Armorer : Then, you are a Mandalorian no more.

  The Mandalorian : I beg you for your forgiveness. How can I atone?

  Paz Vizsla : Leave, apostate.

  Armorer : According to Creed, one may only be redeemed in the living waters beneath the mines of Mandalore.

  The Mandalorian : But the mines have all been destroyed.

  Armorer : This is the way.

• Gonk Droid : Excuse me, sir. You're going to have to remove your weapons.

  The Mandalorian : I'm a Mandalorian. Weapons are part of my religion.

  Gonk Droid : I'm sorry, sir, you can't board a commercial flight with your weapons. If you wish to discuss this with my supervisor, I will gladly book you on tomorrow's flight.

  The Mandalorian : Fine.

  [unloading and securely storing all of his weapons] 

  The Mandalorian : I know everything that's in there.

• The Mandalorian : Where's the Razor Crest?

  Peli Motto : I never said I had a Razor Crest. I said I had a *replacement* for a Razor Crest.

  The Mandalorian : I don't have time for this.

  Peli Motto : Hang on a second. Do you have any idea what this is? This is an N-1 starfighter, handmade for the royal guard and commissioned personally by the Queen of Naboo.

  The Mandalorian : This is a pile of junk.

  Peli Motto : Do you want your credits back?

  The Mandalorian : Yes.

  Peli Motto : No skin off my dip-swap. Droids, bring this lovely man his money. Here you go. It's that easy. Sorry to waste your time. Okay? While we're waiting, can I tell you a little something about this honey? I know she doesn't look like much, but you got here a lot earlier than I expected and I didn't get a chance to finish. I mean, clearly, you can see I've got all the parts right here. Hmm? It all has a home. Okay? Oh, look, a family of scurriers. Let's not disrupt the nest. You know how hard it is to find all original parts from way back in the Galactic Republic? I mean, these are all handmade. No droids. And not only that, what I'm gonna do, just because I like you, is I'm gonna add on some custom modifications that'll make her faster than a fathier, and because this baby's pre-Empire, she's off the grid. And did I mention she can jump into hyperspace with no docking ring? I mean, come on! You gotta see the potential. I'm telling you, Mando, you gotta believe me. This is a classic. Look, at least let me put her together before you decide. Can you give me that? There you go. Hmm?

  [getting to work] 

  Peli Motto : Get this baby up and goin'. You know, it'd be a lot faster if you helped.

• The Mandalorian : Have you ever heard of Bo-Katan Kryze?

  Armorer : Bo-Katan is a cautionary tale. She once laid claim to rule Mandalore based purely on blood and the sword you now possess. But it was gifted to her and not won by Creed. Bo-Katan Kryze was born of a mighty house, but they lost sight of the way. Her rule ended in tragedy. They lost their way, and we lost our world. Had our sect not been cloistered on the moon of Concordia, we would have not survived the Great Purge. Those born of Mandalore strayed away from the path. Eventually, the Imperial interlopers destroyed all that we knew and loved in the Night of a Thousand Tears. Only those that walked the way escaped the curse prophesized in the Creed. Though our numbers were scattered to the winds, our adherence to the way has preserved our legacy for the generations until we may someday return to our homeworld.

• Kaba Baiz : You look lost.

  The Mandalorian : I'm here for Kaba Baiz.

  Kaba Baiz : What makes you think he's here?

  [Mando shows him a tracking fob] 

  Kaba Baiz : What do you want of him?

  The Mandalorian : He owes someone important money.

  Kaba Baiz : Who?

  The Mandalorian : That's not my business. I'm here to bring him in.

  Kaba Baiz : Well, if I see him, I'll let him know.

  The Mandalorian : [setting a bounty puck on the table and activating it]  I see him right now.

  Kaba Baiz : That's not me. That doesn't even look like me.

  The Mandalorian : [to the others in the room]  I'm gonna give the rest of you the opportunity to walk out that door. I have no quarrel with you.

  Kaba Baiz : They're not going anywhere. Looks to me like you're surrounded. But you look like the practical type. Let's discuss our options.

  The Mandalorian : [putting his hand on his blaster]  I can bring you in warm, or I can bring you in cold.

• Armorer : The songs of eons past foretold of the Mythosaur rising up to herald a new age of Mandalore. Sadly, it only exists in legends. Where did you come upon the beskar spear?

  The Mandalorian : It was the gift of a Jedi. It can block a lightsaber. I used it to defeat Moff Gideon.

  Armorer : It can also pierce beskar armor. Its mere existence puts Mandalorians at risk. Mandalorian steel is meant for armor, not weapons.

  The Mandalorian : Then forge it into armor.

  Armorer : The Darksaber is a more noble weapon for you to wield.

• Peli Motto : Great news! I found you a turbonic venturi power assimilator. You're gonna be the fastest ship on the Outer Rim.

  The Mandalorian : Where did you get this?

  Peli Motto : It's brand-new. Well, Jawa-new.

  The Mandalorian : The Jawas had a turbonic venturi assimilator from a Galactic Republic-era starfighter?

  Peli Motto : Well, they didn't have it. They got it.

  The Mandalorian : From where?

  Peli Motto : Tatooine is a garden of many bounties.

  The Mandalorian : I don't understand.

  Peli Motto : I gave 'em a list.

  The Mandalorian : Of parts?

  Peli Motto : Yeah.

  The Mandalorian : And they find them for you?

  Peli Motto : I don't ask. They don't tell. They give me what I ask for. In exchange, I let 'em pick through my dumpster.

  The Mandalorian : Can I meet them?

  Peli Motto : Yeah, sure.

  [shouting off] 

  Peli Motto : R5! See if the Jawas are still out back. Dated a Jawa for a while. They're quite furry. Very furry. Lot of issues.

• Armorer : You are fighting against the blade.

  The Mandalorian : It gets heavier with each move.

  Armorer : That is because you are fighting against the blade. You should be fighting against your opponent.

• Peli Motto : Do you know how lucky you are that I got my hands on this baby? You want to thank me now or you want to thank me later?

  The Mandalorian : You get me a Razor Crest, you can have it right back.

  Peli Motto : Oh, bantha diddle, these are a lot harder to come by than some plain old Razor Crest.

  [scoffing] 

  Peli Motto : Razor Crest.

• The Mandalorian : [Jawas bring a part for his new ship]  That was fast.

  Peli Motto : These critters could find a skud in a krill pond. Will that do?

  The Mandalorian : Where did they get a cryogenic density combustion booster?

  Peli Motto : Do you really wanna know?

  The Mandalorian : Sure.

  Peli Motto : [conversing in Jawaese]  I got it. They said they crawled under a Pyke spice runner and crimped it off while they were refueling.

  The Mandalorian : Gutsy little fellas.

  Peli Motto : Let me tell you something, Pykes do not mess around. Ever since they've been moving spice through the system, everything's gone to hell. Everyone's afraid of 'em and law enforcement won't even go near 'em.

  The Mandalorian : [paying the Jawas]  Well, thanks.

  Peli Motto : Thanks? What? Are you kidding me? What'd you do that for? You're gonna spoil 'em. Are you trying to make me look bad?

• The Mandalorian : [rebuilding a Naboo starfighter]  The entire vapor manifold is missing.

  Peli Motto : Trust me, the last thing you want strangling your thrust capacitor is a vapor manifold. I fabricated you this induction intake charger that's gonna double your output coefficient.

  The Mandalorian : It'll also blow the shaft out of my motivator block.

  Peli Motto : That's why I'm reinforcing your compression housing, and you can access it by using this Kineso-switch right here. You hit this button, you're gonna evacuate your exhaust manifold, if you know what I mean.

• The Mandalorian : If I give them a list of parts, could they get them for me?

  Peli Motto : [conversing in Jawaese]  They said make a wishlist and they'll see what's available.

  The Mandalorian : Okay, I'm looking for mostly bolt-on aftermarket speed mods. This is all hand-built, custom. I'm guessing we need vintage hyperware if it's gonna fit this antique.

  Peli Motto : Listen to you. Don't worry about the shape and size. Just get the parts you want with the specs you need, and I'm gonna make it work, all right? I dated a Jawa. I know what I'm doing, right?

• The Mandalorian : That's a lot of engine for a little ship.

  Peli Motto : Yeah, well, see what she can do!

  The Mandalorian : Shouldn't we run a diagnostic first?

  Peli Motto : Nah! I can hear her! She's purring! Send her up!

• Peli Motto : What do we owe the pleasure? You here to slay another dragon? Chasing down some elusive bounty?

  The Mandalorian : I got your message.

  Peli Motto : Message? What message?

  The Mandalorian : You said you found me a replacement for the Razor Crest.

  Peli Motto : Yeah, that's right. That's what I said. That's what I do. I've been working my butt off, yeah. Did you bring the cash?

  The Mandalorian : [handing a pouch of credits over]  It's right here.

  Peli Motto : Mind if I count it? Not that I don't trust you. I just wanna make sure you don't give me too much.

• The Mandalorian : [giving his new ship a test flight]  She handles a little bumpy.

  Peli Motto : You're used to a gunship, but she's a starfighter. So fly her like one.

  The Mandalorian : Okay. I'll open her up.

  [accelerating] 

  The Mandalorian : Dank farrik, she's fast.

  Peli Motto : Smooth?

  The Mandalorian : As a gonk's scomp jack.

  Peli Motto : There you go. Some teamwork.

  The Mandalorian : Controls are real snappy. How's the maneuverability?

  Peli Motto : You tell me. Point your navigational disposition between the two suns. You'll come up to Beggar's Canyon.

  [he flies through the canyons] 

  Peli Motto : How's the handling?

  The Mandalorian : Tight. She tracks like a railspeeder.

  Peli Motto : What did I tell you?

  [derisively] 

  Peli Motto : Razor Crest.

• Peli Motto : [unveiling Mando's new starfighter]  Not a gram of fat on her. You know, no one's catching you in this thing.

  The Mandalorian : What happened to the droid port?

  Peli Motto : I hogged it out. You know, I figured, with your disposition, you'd wanna forgo the astromech.

  [her R5 unit beeps and chirps] 

  Peli Motto : Hey! Watch your language around the customers.

  The Mandalorian : [giving the ship a once-over inspection]  Think she's ready?

  Peli Motto : Ready as she'll ever be.

• Ishi Tib Guild Master : [in Huttese]  That was fast. You're a good hunter.

  The Mandalorian : [in Basic]  I'd like my reward and the information you promised.

  Ishi Tib Guild Master : Why are you rushing business, Mando?

  The Mandalorian : My business is my own. Where is it?

  Ishi Tib Guild Master : Sit and enjoy a meal with us.

  The Mandalorian : Where is the closest access shaft to the substrata?

  Ishi Tib Guild Master : Sit and feast with us or I will tell you nothing.

  The Mandalorian : You can keep your reward. There's a bounty on this Klatooinian. If you won't give me the information, someone else will.

  Ishi Tib Guild Master : It's down Kolzoc Alley by the heat vent towers. Please sit. I have another job for you.

  The Mandalorian : [meaning the bounty's decapitated head]  I'd put that on ice if I were you.

• Peli Motto : So, where's your unlikely companion?

  The Mandalorian : I returned him to his own kind.

  Peli Motto : Why the hell would you do that? I could've made good money off that thing. Open a petting zoo.

• The Mandalorian : Your boss is dead. I'm here to collect on his bounty. I have no trouble with any of you. There's a pile of New Republic credits in there that I have no right to. If you do me the honor of letting me pass, you all can help yourselves to whatever you think you deserve from your former employer.
