Quotes 

• Bo-Katan Kryze : You should rest. I'll get you back to my ship soon enough.

  The Mandalorian : I'm not going with you.

  Bo-Katan Kryze : What are you talking about?

  The Mandalorian : I must continue to the Mines of Mandalore so that I may be redeemed.

  Bo-Katan Kryze : I honestly think that's adorable that you actually believe these children's stories. But there is nothing magic about the waters.

  The Mandalorian : Without the Creed, what are we? What do we stand for? Our people are scatted like stars in the galaxy. The Creed is how we survived. You rescued me and I'll always be in your debt. But I can't go with you until I fulfill my obligation.

  Bo-Katan Kryze : I will take you.

  The Mandalorian : To the Living Waters?

  Bo-Katan Kryze : Yes. You'd never find them on your own. Not in all this wreckage.

  The Mandalorian : Thank you.

  Bo-Katan Kryze : Don't thank me until you see them.

• The Mandalorian : I'm here on business.

  Peli Motto : Oh, are the Hutts back? Are you takin' out Boba Fett?

  The Mandalorian : I need a droid part.

  Peli Motto : Ugh. Boring!

• The Mandalorian : [Peli can't get a droid part he needs]  I need my droid fixed now.

  Peli Motto : [indicating R5]  Which is why I think you should buy this beauty here.

  [as she pats his dome, electricity crackles and sparks fly] 

  The Mandalorian : I can't use an astromech. I need a droid that's rated for spelunking.

  Peli Motto : Spelunking? What are you spelunking?

  The Mandalorian : I'm going to Mandalore. I need a droid that can explore ahead of me and test the atmosphere, make sure it's safe to breathe.

  Peli Motto : Okay, well...

  [R5 starts to roll back in retreat] 

  Peli Motto : Uh, uh, uh, uh. Hey! Get right back here. Right back here, scardey droid. Come on now, you gotta shine. This R5 astromech is built for adventure.

  [R5 chirps] 

  Peli Motto : What? Of course you are. You're supposed to be piloting starfighters across the galaxy and fighting tyranny.

  The Mandalorian : It's falling apart, and besides, I got no room for it on the N-1.

  Peli Motto : Nonsense. R5-D4 is as good as the day it came back from serving in the Rebellion. And I'll reinstall your droid port and this little baby here can even co-pilot.

  [the droid beeps nervously] 

  Peli Motto : Hey, if you don't settle your bolts, I'll sell you back to the Jawas.

• The Mandalorian : You were right. Mandalore is not cursed.

  Bo-Katan Kryze : Was I? Look around. There's nothing left. A great society is now a memory. I once ruled here for a brief time. Now, it's destroyed. Nothing to cling to but ashes.

• Bo-Katan Kryze : There. The entrance to the mines of Mandalore.

  The Mandalorian : This area looks much older.

  Bo-Katan Kryze : The mines have been here for thousands of years. The Living Waters are in the chambers below.

  The Mandalorian : Have you been there?

  Bo-Katan Kryze : Yes, when I was a child.

  The Mandalorian : Really?

  Bo-Katan Kryze : I was part of the royal family. I took the Creed and was showered with gifts. But the rituals were all just theater for our subjects. They loved watching the princess recite the Mandalorian tenets as her father looked on proudly. Such a heart-warming spectacle.

  The Mandalorian : Maybe he was proud.

  Bo-Katan Kryze : I know he was. I didn't embarrass him in front of everyone.

  The Mandalorian : Your father sounds like an interesting man. I would have liked to have known him.

  Bo-Katan Kryze : He was a great man. He died defending Mandalore.

  The Mandalorian : This is the Way.

• The Mandalorian : It's hard to believe that this was all once filled with our kind.

  Bo-Katan Kryze : It wasn't that long ago. You'd never know it looking at all this destruction.

  The Mandalorian : It looks like it's been centuries.

  Bo-Katan Kryze : The Empire set out to punish us. To wipe away our memory.

  The Mandalorian : It must pain you to see it like this after witnessing its beauty.

  Bo-Katan Kryze : What pains me is seeing our own kind fight one another time and time again. Killing each other for reasons too confusing to explain. It made us weak. We had no hope to resist being smashed by the fist of the Empire.

• The Mandalorian : [to Grogu as they arrive at Mandalore]  It looks scary, I know. But it was once green and beautiful, back when the songs were written. It's Mandalore, the homeworld of our people. Every Mandalorian can trace their roots back to this planet, and the beskar mines deep within. And you know what? I've never been there, either. I grew up there.

  [pointing out the canopy] 

  The Mandalorian : On that moon. Concordia. And that's Kalevala where we visited Bo-Katan. It's in the same system. A Mandalorian has to understand maps and know their way around. That way, you'll never be lost.

• The Mandalorian : What is this?

  Bo-Katan Kryze : You've never eaten pog soup?

  The Mandalorian : No.

  Bo-Katan Kryze : Can you appreciate the irony?

  [indicating Grogu] 

  Bo-Katan Kryze : Any Mandalorian worth their armor was raised on this since they were his size.

• Peli Motto : I wouldn't rely too much on this one. Its circuitry is a little fragile.

  The Mandalorian : I thought you said it was built for adventure.

  Peli Motto : [closes the ship's canopy]  What? Sorry, I can't hear you!
