Quotes 

• Peli Motto : [building Mando a new ship]  Well? How was it?

  The Mandalorian : Wizard.

  Peli Motto : Ha. Those J-type pulse engines really tighten the old evacuation port, don't they? Oh, by the way, an old friend of yours dropped by, said she was looking for you.

  The Mandalorian : A friend of mine?

  Peli Motto : Don't worry. I told her I didn't know where you were. Then I locked her out and engaged the hangar security system.

  The Mandalorian : She tell you her name?

  Fennec Shand : Fennec Shand.

  Peli Motto : [after jumping in surprise, to one of her pit droids]  I thought you said that the hangar security system was on. Don't get away from me. You come back right here. This is the third mistake this week. Someone's getting deprogrammed.

• The Mandalorian : Where's the Razor Crest?

  Peli Motto : I never said I had a Razor Crest. I said I had a *replacement* for a Razor Crest.

  The Mandalorian : I don't have time for this.

  Peli Motto : Hang on a second. Do you have any idea what this is? This is an N-1 starfighter, handmade for the royal guard and commissioned personally by the Queen of Naboo.

  The Mandalorian : This is a pile of junk.

  Peli Motto : Do you want your credits back?

  The Mandalorian : Yes.

  Peli Motto : No skin off my dip-swap. Droids, bring this lovely man his money. Here you go. It's that easy. Sorry to waste your time. Okay? While we're waiting, can I tell you a little something about this honey? I know she doesn't look like much, but you got here a lot earlier than I expected and I didn't get a chance to finish. I mean, clearly, you can see I've got all the parts right here. Hmm? It all has a home. Okay? Oh, look, a family of scurriers. Let's not disrupt the nest. You know how hard it is to find all original parts from way back in the Galactic Republic? I mean, these are all handmade. No droids. And not only that, what I'm gonna do, just because I like you, is I'm gonna add on some custom modifications that'll make her faster than a fathier, and because this baby's pre-Empire, she's off the grid. And did I mention she can jump into hyperspace with no docking ring? I mean, come on! You gotta see the potential. I'm telling you, Mando, you gotta believe me. This is a classic. Look, at least let me put her together before you decide. Can you give me that? There you go. Hmm?

  [getting to work] 

  Peli Motto : Get this baby up and goin'. You know, it'd be a lot faster if you helped.

• Peli Motto : Great news! I found you a turbonic venturi power assimilator. You're gonna be the fastest ship on the Outer Rim.

  The Mandalorian : Where did you get this?

  Peli Motto : It's brand-new. Well, Jawa-new.

  The Mandalorian : The Jawas had a turbonic venturi assimilator from a Galactic Republic-era starfighter?

  Peli Motto : Well, they didn't have it. They got it.

  The Mandalorian : From where?

  Peli Motto : Tatooine is a garden of many bounties.

  The Mandalorian : I don't understand.

  Peli Motto : I gave 'em a list.

  The Mandalorian : Of parts?

  Peli Motto : Yeah.

  The Mandalorian : And they find them for you?

  Peli Motto : I don't ask. They don't tell. They give me what I ask for. In exchange, I let 'em pick through my dumpster.

  The Mandalorian : Can I meet them?

  Peli Motto : Yeah, sure.

  [shouting off] 

  Peli Motto : R5! See if the Jawas are still out back. Dated a Jawa for a while. They're quite furry. Very furry. Lot of issues.

• Peli Motto : Do you know how lucky you are that I got my hands on this baby? You want to thank me now or you want to thank me later?

  The Mandalorian : You get me a Razor Crest, you can have it right back.

  Peli Motto : Oh, bantha diddle, these are a lot harder to come by than some plain old Razor Crest.

  [scoffing] 

  Peli Motto : Razor Crest.

• The Mandalorian : [Jawas bring a part for his new ship]  That was fast.

  Peli Motto : These critters could find a skud in a krill pond. Will that do?

  The Mandalorian : Where did they get a cryogenic density combustion booster?

  Peli Motto : Do you really wanna know?

  The Mandalorian : Sure.

  Peli Motto : [conversing in Jawaese]  I got it. They said they crawled under a Pyke spice runner and crimped it off while they were refueling.

  The Mandalorian : Gutsy little fellas.

  Peli Motto : Let me tell you something, Pykes do not mess around. Ever since they've been moving spice through the system, everything's gone to hell. Everyone's afraid of 'em and law enforcement won't even go near 'em.

  The Mandalorian : [paying the Jawas]  Well, thanks.

  Peli Motto : Thanks? What? Are you kidding me? What'd you do that for? You're gonna spoil 'em. Are you trying to make me look bad?

• The Mandalorian : [rebuilding a Naboo starfighter]  The entire vapor manifold is missing.

  Peli Motto : Trust me, the last thing you want strangling your thrust capacitor is a vapor manifold. I fabricated you this induction intake charger that's gonna double your output coefficient.

  The Mandalorian : It'll also blow the shaft out of my motivator block.

  Peli Motto : That's why I'm reinforcing your compression housing, and you can access it by using this Kineso-switch right here. You hit this button, you're gonna evacuate your exhaust manifold, if you know what I mean.

• The Mandalorian : If I give them a list of parts, could they get them for me?

  Peli Motto : [conversing in Jawaese]  They said make a wishlist and they'll see what's available.

  The Mandalorian : Okay, I'm looking for mostly bolt-on aftermarket speed mods. This is all hand-built, custom. I'm guessing we need vintage hyperware if it's gonna fit this antique.

  Peli Motto : Listen to you. Don't worry about the shape and size. Just get the parts you want with the specs you need, and I'm gonna make it work, all right? I dated a Jawa. I know what I'm doing, right?

• The Mandalorian : That's a lot of engine for a little ship.

  Peli Motto : Yeah, well, see what she can do!

  The Mandalorian : Shouldn't we run a diagnostic first?

  Peli Motto : Nah! I can hear her! She's purring! Send her up!

• Peli Motto : What do we owe the pleasure? You here to slay another dragon? Chasing down some elusive bounty?

  The Mandalorian : I got your message.

  Peli Motto : Message? What message?

  The Mandalorian : You said you found me a replacement for the Razor Crest.

  Peli Motto : Yeah, that's right. That's what I said. That's what I do. I've been working my butt off, yeah. Did you bring the cash?

  The Mandalorian : [handing a pouch of credits over]  It's right here.

  Peli Motto : Mind if I count it? Not that I don't trust you. I just wanna make sure you don't give me too much.

• The Mandalorian : [giving his new ship a test flight]  She handles a little bumpy.

  Peli Motto : You're used to a gunship, but she's a starfighter. So fly her like one.

  The Mandalorian : Okay. I'll open her up.

  [accelerating] 

  The Mandalorian : Dank farrik, she's fast.

  Peli Motto : Smooth?

  The Mandalorian : As a gonk's scomp jack.

  Peli Motto : There you go. Some teamwork.

  The Mandalorian : Controls are real snappy. How's the maneuverability?

  Peli Motto : You tell me. Point your navigational disposition between the two suns. You'll come up to Beggar's Canyon.

  [he flies through the canyons] 

  Peli Motto : How's the handling?

  The Mandalorian : Tight. She tracks like a railspeeder.

  Peli Motto : What did I tell you?

  [derisively] 

  Peli Motto : Razor Crest.

• Peli Motto : [unveiling Mando's new starfighter]  Not a gram of fat on her. You know, no one's catching you in this thing.

  The Mandalorian : What happened to the droid port?

  Peli Motto : I hogged it out. You know, I figured, with your disposition, you'd wanna forgo the astromech.

  [her R5 unit beeps and chirps] 

  Peli Motto : Hey! Watch your language around the customers.

  The Mandalorian : [giving the ship a once-over inspection]  Think she's ready?

  Peli Motto : Ready as she'll ever be.

• Peli Motto : So, where's your unlikely companion?

  The Mandalorian : I returned him to his own kind.

  Peli Motto : Why the hell would you do that? I could've made good money off that thing. Open a petting zoo.
