Quotes 

• 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.

• Peli Motto : [haggling with a Rodian customer]  I don't know what to tell you, pal. I mean, there are a lot of parts missing. Fine, I'll push it back out on the street. You heard him, pit droids! Out!

  [he gestures for them to stop] 

  Peli Motto : All right, well, I don't appreciate the tone of voice, but I'll fix it. Oof. Boy, I don't know. I mean, lucky for you, business is slow. I gotta order the parts from the Mid Rim. Let's say, mmm, two months.

  [he shouts angrily] 

  Peli Motto : All right, settle your snout. I'll put a rush on it. But you gotta give me half upfront for parts.

  [he pays her] 

  Peli Motto : I should charge you more considering now I gotta work Boonta Eve.

  [he says something as he leaves] 

  Peli Motto : Me? You know, I do have a life. Big holiday. I had big plans! You know, I don't just sit around here and work all day. I'm very popular.

  [her R5 unit rolls up] 

  Peli Motto : Is he gone?

  [a pit droid goes to check and conveys that he is] 

  Peli Motto : Hey, tell the Jawas the Rodian left.

  [R5 chirps, and three Jawas come out with a handful of parts] 

  Peli Motto : All right, let's get this thing back together again. Quickly, before he sees you. Go, go, go, go, go! Put those parts back on the speeder. Paint 'em so they look different.

  [paying one] 

  Peli Motto : Here you go.

  [they chitter something] 

  Peli Motto : Seriously? For five minutes of work?

  [the chitter again, and she pays them a little more] 

  Peli Motto : You're lucky I'm a softy.

• 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!
