Quotes 

• Cad Bane : Let the spice move through Mos Espa, and all this can be avoided.

  Boba Fett : No.

  Cad Bane : What do you propose then?

  Boba Fett : I will only negotiate with the Pyke Syndicate.

  Cad Bane : You mean the one that massacred your Tusken family and blamed it on a speed bike gang? You know it's true.

  Fennec Shand : Boba.

  Cad Bane : [he reveals his blaster in its holster]  Let's do this right here, right now.

  Fennec Shand : Not now. You pick when.

  Boba Fett : He killed Vanth. The reinforcements aren't coming.

  Fennec Shand : We fight on our terms, not theirs.

  Boba Fett : I can take him.

  Fennec Shand : You're emotional.

  Boba Fett : I can take him.

  Fennec Shand : We need to adjust. You'll have your moment.

• Boba Fett : Why does it have to be the right arm?

  Fennec Shand : You should take a nice soak in the bacta tank.

  Boba Fett : It's being used.

• Skad : So, the Wookie gets a melon and we don't?

  Fennec Shand : Krrsantan, you want to share?

• Drash : [under attack]  We can't retreat. We're pinned down.

  Fennec Shand : Stay put.

  Drash : What?

  Fennec Shand : Don't move.

  Drash : But they'll swamp our position.

  Fennec Shand : Keep your heads down.

  [some of the Aqualish are taken out, and as the others retreat, Fennec reveals herself and jumps down to her speeder bike] 

  Fennec Shand : Get to the Sanctuary.

  Drash : Hey. Thank you.

  Fennec Shand : Manners. I like it. You're welcome.

• Boba Fett : It's a coordinated attack. We'll have to gather our people.

  Fennec Shand : There's no way to overcome their advantage. We need to take out command and control.

  Boba Fett : Does the Pyke Syndicate still operate out of Mos Eisley?

  Mok Shaiz's Majordomo : Oh, it's difficult to say for certain that...

  [Fennec cocks her rifle] 

  Mok Shaiz's Majordomo : Mos Eisley? Yes, now that I think of it, indeed they do. More specifically, the Desert Survey Office.

  Boba Fett : Can you do that? Can you get there in time?

  Fennec Shand : Worth a shot.

• Boba Fett : [in the remains of the Sanctuary]  We are at war.

  Fennec Shand : It was inevitable.

  Boba Fett : Even if we win, there might not be anything left of this city.

• Fennec Shand : Were you able to hire any foot soldiers?

  The Mandalorian : I think so. Cobb Vanth is raising a garrison for us.

  Fennec Shand : What price did you negotiate?

  The Mandalorian : Free.

  Boba Fett : Free?

  The Mandalorian : He's been holding off the spice trade single-handedly. I told him we could shut it down.

  Fennec Shand : That's not free. That's most of Jabba the Hutt's business.

  The Mandalorian : That's what the town wants.

  Boba Fett : I agree to their terms.

• Fennec Shand : As we wait for the reinforcements to arrive with Cobb Vanth from Freetown, our forces are quietly patrolling the streets of the old city. The Pyke Syndicate has not yet arrived in numbers, but the minute they do, we will see them before they see us. The truce you negotiated with the other families of Mos Espa will ensure that they will remain neutral and allow us to gain the upper hand by surprising the arriving soldiers. The Gamorrean guards are posted in the Klatooinian territory at the starport and will alert us if any of the Pyke Syndicate forces arrive. Krrsantan is in Trandoshan territory, keeping tabs on the streets of the municipality in front of City Hall. Drash and Skad are with the other Mods keeping an eye on the Worker's District and the Aqualish Quarter. As you can see, all our flanks are covered. Nobody is sneaking up on us. When the people of Freetown arrive, we will have the forces required to pivot our strength to whatever region the Pykes choose to attack from.

  Boba Fett : For now?

  Fennec Shand : We wait.

  8D8 : Lord Fett? There is someone here to see you.

  Boba Fett : [sarcastically to Fennec]  I thought you said nobody could sneak up on us.

• Fennec Shand : There's a lot of credits to be made from that orange powder.

  Boba Fett : In the long run, it is better for us, as well. Mos Espa can become a prosperous city under our protection. Spice is killing our people. Let Marshal Vanth and the people of Mos Pelgo...

  The Mandalorian : Freetown is its name now.

  Boba Fett : Let the people of Freetown know they have my word.

  The Mandalorian : You can tell Cobb Vanth himself when he arrives here with the reinforcements.

  Boba Fett : You are confident he will come?

  The Mandalorian : I am.

  Boba Fett : Well, if he does not, we are doomed. Our skill is no match for the Syndicate numbers. We must buy time until they arrive. We'll lockdown at the palace.

  Skad : It's a bad idea.

  Boba Fett : Is that so?

  Skad : It is.

  Boba Fett : And where do you propose we wait for reinforcements?

  Skad : Here.

  Boba Fett : Here? In these ruins?

  [Skad nods] 

  Boba Fett : Nonsense. The palace offers greater protection.

  Drash : If you want to abandon Mos Espa and hide in your fortress, go ahead. We're staying. The people who live here need our protection.

  Boba Fett : [considering it, he glances at Fennec and Mando]  We'll stay.

• Boba Fett : Why must everyone bow at me?

  Fennec Shand : Eh, it's better than shooting.

  Boba Fett : Are those my only two choices?

  Fennec Shand : When you run the town, it is.

  Boba Fett : [taking a piece of fruit offered by a local shopkeeper]  Thank you. We are not suited for this.

  Fennec Shand : If not us, then who?
