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.

• Bo-Katan Kryze : This was once a beautiful civilization. My family ruled it all. Now it's a tomb.

• 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 : 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.

• Bo-Katan Kryze : Here you go. The Living Waters. Hold on. I want you to get the full tour.

  [reading an inscription plaque on a rock wall] 

  Bo-Katan Kryze : "These mines date back to the age of the first Mandalore. According to ancient folklore, the mines were once a Mythosaur lair. Mandalore the Great is said to have tamed the mythical beast. It is from these legends that the skull signet was adopted and became the symbol of our planet."
