• Greef Karga : That was some pretty impressive flying, Mando. What do I owe you?

  The Mandalorian : With the repairs, let's call it even.

  Greef Karga : Can I at least buy you a drink?

  The Mandalorian : Sorry. I have some on-board maintenance I gotta take care of. Then we gotta hit the road before Gideon catches wise.

  Greef Karga : Well, good luck flying, my friend.

• Greef Karga : I believe you two have met.

  The Mandalorian : I'm surprised to see you here.

  Mythrol : Right back at ya.

  Greef Karga : Mythrol here's taken care of my books since he was a pollywog. But then he disappeared one day after a bit of "creative accounting."

  Mythrol : Magistrate Karga was generous enough to let me work off my debt. Thank you, by the way.

  Greef Karga : 350 years, but who's counting?

  The Mandalorian : Well, if he runs off on you again, let me know.

  Mythrol : Let me assure you, I do not wanna spend any more time in carbonite. Still can't see out of my left eye.

• Greef Karga : The whole base is powered by a reactor.

  Cara Dune : We sneak in, overload the reactor, and get the hell outta there.

  The Mandalorian : Let's be fast. And keep the speeder running.

  Greef Karga : There it is, right up there. You see it?

  Mythrol : How close you want me to drop you off?

  Greef Karga : How 'bout the front door?

  Mythrol : It's a little close for a civilian, don't you think?

  Greef Karga : I got two choices for ya. You take us in and I knock a hundred years off your debt.

  Mythrol : Or?

  Greef Karga : Or I leave ya out here in the lava flats to walk home with whatever's left in your humidity vest.

• The Mandalorian : I'm surprised to see this place is still standing.

  Cara Dune : Wait 'til you see inside.

  The Mandalorian : [following them in]  A school?

  Cara Dune : Things have changed a lot around here.

  Greef Karga : We're gonna leave the little one here so we can talk business.

  The Mandalorian : Wait. Wherever I go, he goes.

  Greef Karga : Mando, please. Where we're going, you don't wanna take a child. Trust me.

  Cara Dune : He'll be fine here. You have my word.

• Greef Karga : [getting into an elevator]  Are you comin' in or what?

  Mythrol : I'll take my chances down here, but thank you.

  Cara Dune : Well, when the lava tide comes in, give us a holler. We'll drop you a rope.

  [Mythrol follows them] 

• Greef Karga : Get on the reactor controls, drain the coolant lines. We'll watch the doors.

  Mythrol : Me?

  Greef Karga : Yes, you!

  Mythrol : Well, I'm afraid o' heights. And heat. And lava.

  Greef Karga : How about if I put you back in carbonite? Get over there!

• Greef Karga : The reactor should be set in the heat shaft. If we drain the cooling lines, this whole base will go up in a matter of minutes.

  Mythrol : Look. It's a mint Trexler Marauder. You know how much we can get for this on the black market?

  The Mandalorian : And it's gonna get vaporized like the rest of this base. Now, let's go.

  Mythrol : Such a waste.

• Cara Dune : Can we talk business?

  The Mandalorian : I'm only here for repairs.

  Greef Karga : Which'll take a while. Which means you'll have free time on your hands, right? And we could really use your help.

  The Mandalorian : Help how?

  Cara Dune : [turning on a holo-display]  This is Nevarro. We're here. This entire area's a green zone. Completely safe. But over on this side is the problem.

  Greef Karga : It's an old Imperial base.

  Cara Dune : It's where all those troops came from when we defeated Moff Gideon. This base has been here since the Imperial expansion. It's got a skeleton crew, but for some reason, it hasn't been abandoned.

  Greef Karga : There's a lot of heavy weaponry in that place the black market would love to dismantle and get their hands on.

  The Mandalorian : And you wanna mop up the last of the Imperial force before they do.

  Greef Karga : Mando, I just want them off my planet. If we could take out that one last base, Nevarro would be completely safe. We could be a trade anchor for the entire sector.

  Cara Dune : And the planet would finally be free.

  The Mandalorian : [thinking about it]  What are we looking at?

• Cara Dune : I thought you said this was a forward operating base.

  Greef Karga : I thought it was.

  Cara Dune : No, this isn't a military operation. This is a lab. We need to get into the system and figure out what's going on.

  Mythrol : What about the reactor?

  Cara Dune : Do it!

• Captain Carson Teva : So, is there anything else you can remember before the base exploded?

  Greef Karga : No.

  Captain Carson Teva : How long after the Razor Crest jumped out...

  Greef Karga : I never said anything about a Razor Crest.

  Captain Carson Teva : Your transponder log has a...

  Greef Karga : "Transponder log." Come on, give me a break. The control droid can't tell apart anything pre-Empire. This isn't Coruscant.

  Captain Carson Teva : Do you have anything else to add?

  Greef Karga : Not that I can think of, Officer. But if something does come to mind, I'll be sure to send you a 'gram. That is, if you're ever out this far again.

  [to Mythrol as Teva leaves] 

  Greef Karga : What?

• Cara Dune : [trying to evade TIE Fighter fire]  What is going on back there?

  Greef Karga : [manning the blaster cannon]  You wanna come back here and try this? Be my guest!

• The Mandalorian : Controls are useless. They're melted.

  Greef Karga : Well, it's probably not rated for lava.

  Cara Dune : Imperial trash.

  Mythrol : All right, I'm headed back. Hit me up on the comm, we could set up a rendezvous time.

  Greef Karga : You park your gills right there until I say otherwise.

  Mythrol : I'm starting to dehydrate, boss.

  Greef Karga : Okay, how does 30 more years off your debt sound?

  Mythrol : Can you at least be quick about it?

  Greef Karga : You wanna be quick about it? Grab the flange cutter and help us out.

  Mythrol : [groaning and getting out]  Okay, fine. I don't like leaving my speeder like this, just so you know.

• Greef Karga : [watching the damaged Razor Crest land]  Looks like someone could use some repairs.

  The Mandalorian : How's my credit around here?

  Greef Karga : I think something could be arranged. Isn't that right, Marshal?

  Cara Dune : I'm sure we can work something out.

• The Mandalorian : Looks like you two have been busy.

  Greef Karga : I myself have been steeped in clerical work. Marshal Dune here is to be thanked for cleaning up the town.

  Cara Dune : Your ship's not looking too good.

  The Mandalorian : I had a run-in with the New Republic.

  Greef Karga : They should leave the Outer Rim alone. If the Empire couldn't settle it, what makes them think they can?
