- Cad Bane: Cobb Vanth.
- Cobb Vanth: And who might you be?
- Cad Bane: Whatever Fett is paying you, we'll match, and all you've got to do is stay put and let things play out.
- Deputy Scott: Hey, the Marshal ain't for sale.
- Cobb Vanth: I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name.
- Cad Bane: I'd be careful where I was sticking my nose if I were you.
- Cobb Vanth: Is that friendly advice or a threat?
- Cad Bane: Boba Fett is a cold-blooded killer who worked with the Empire.
- Cobb Vanth: You tell your spice runners Tatooine is closed for business. This planet's seen enough violence.
- Cad Bane: You should've never given up your armor.
- [he reveals his blaster in its holster, and Cobb instinctively reaches for his own; after a tense standoff, Scott makes the first move, but Bane gets the better of them both]
- Cad Bane: Tatooine belongs to the Syndicate. As long as the spice keeps running, everyone will be left alone.
- Ahsoka Tano: [Luke observes Grogu's training session] You've taught him well.
- Luke Skywalker: It's more like he's remembering than I'm actually teaching him anything.
- Ahsoka Tano: Sometimes the student guides the master.
- Luke Skywalker: The Mandalorian was here.
- Ahsoka Tano: As I told you. The two share a strong bond, and he brought him a gift.
- Luke Skywalker: Sometimes I wonder if his heart is in it.
- Ahsoka Tano: So much like your father.
- Luke Skywalker: What should I do about him?
- Ahsoka Tano: Trust your instincts.
- Luke Skywalker: [she turns to leave] Will I see you again?
- Ahsoka Tano: Perhaps.
- [giving a slight bow of respect]
- Ahsoka Tano: May the Force be with you.
- Ahsoka Tano: I warned you when we met that your attachment to Grogu would be difficult to let go of.
- The Mandalorian: He was a Mandalorian foundling in my care. I just wanna make sure he's safe.
- Ahsoka Tano: There is no place in the galaxy more safe than here with Luke.
- The Mandalorian: I don't understand why you're all right with Skywalker's decision to train the kid when you wouldn't.
- Ahsoka Tano: Because it was his choice. I don't control the wants of others.
- The Mandalorian: Then it's my choice to go and see him.
- Ahsoka Tano: Of course. If that is what you wish.
- The Mandalorian: [following her gaze, he sees Grogu with Luke on a hill nearby] All right.
- Ahsoka Tano: [he starts heading in their direction] Are you doing this for Grogu or are you doing this for yourself?
- The Mandalorian: [taking out the gift he had forged] I just... I wanna give him this.
- Ahsoka Tano: Why? So he will remember you?
- The Mandalorian: No. As a Mandalorian foundling, he should have this. It's his right.
- Ahsoka Tano: Foundling. Perhaps he is a Padawan now.
- The Mandalorian: Well, either way, this armor will protect him.
- Ahsoka Tano: If you are set on it, then allow me to deliver it.
- The Mandalorian: I came all this way. He's right there.
- Ahsoka Tano: Grogu misses you a great deal. If he sees you, it will only make things more difficult for him.
- The Mandalorian: [giving the gift to her] Make sure he's protected.
- Luke Skywalker: It's time to continue your training. Let's see you jump.
- [Grogu gives a feeble attempt, barely managing to clear the ground]
- Luke Skywalker: Really? That's all you got? Bend down, jump, and as you do, feel the Force flow through you.
- [Grogu gives another feeble attempt]
- Luke Skywalker: You're trying too hard. Don't try. Do.
- Luke Skywalker: [showing Grogu a beskar chainmail vest] The Mandalorian wanted you to have this. But before you take it, I will give you a choice. This... is a lightsaber.
- [activating it]
- Luke Skywalker: It belonged to my teacher, Master Yoda. And now, I'm offering it to you. But you may choose only one. If you choose the armor, you'll return to your friend, the Mandalorian. However, you will be giving in to attachment to those that you love and forsaking the way of the Jedi. But if you choose the lightsaber, you will be the first student in my academy, and I will train you to be a great Jedi. It will take you many years to master the ways of the Force, and may never see the Mandalorian again because, Grogu, a short time for you is a lifetime for someone else. Which do you choose?
- Cobb Vanth: I still don't see what all that's got to do with me.
- The Mandalorian: I need you to lead a garrison. Your people are good fighters, and there's plenty of credits in it for them, too.
- Cobb Vanth: The peace is intact, Mando. We took out that dragon. My people don't want to fight no more.
- The Mandalorian: Your town might be good for now, but it's all part of the same planet. We need good people to step up or the spice is bound to come through these parts.
- Cobb Vanth: As long as I'm here, that's not a problem, so why should they risk their lives for this Boba Fett?
- The Mandalorian: Mos Pelgo might be good right now...
- Weequay Proprietor: Freetown.
- The Mandalorian: What?
- Cobb Vanth: It's called Freetown now.
- Weequay Proprietor: We changed the name. Suits us better.
- The Mandalorian: Well, I fought side by side with the citizens of Freetown, and they're brave people, and the Pyke Syndicate has us outnumbered, and we need your help.
- Weequay Proprietor: The town wants no part of it. That's a city folk fight.
- The Mandalorian: Is that what you say, too, Marshal?
- Cobb Vanth: We're square, you and me.
- The Mandalorian: Yes, we are. But I didn't think you were one to back down from bullies.
- Cobb Vanth: See, that's what I like about you, Mando. That big smile of yours lets you get away with anything.
- The Mandalorian: There's no easy way to ask for a favor.
- Cobb Vanth: I'll tell you what. Things are tough around here, but I'll see what I can do.
- Luke Skywalker: This is a training remote. It will test your reflexes.
- [as he sets it down, Grogu plays with it and then rolls it back to him]
- Luke Skywalker: No, that isn't how it works.
- [putting it back]
- Luke Skywalker: This is how it works.
- [as he uses the Force to activate it, it rises into the air and fires a blaster bolt, knocking Grogu backward]
- Luke Skywalker: Get back up. Always get back up.
- [as Grogu gets to his feet, the remote fires another bolt, which he manages to dodge]
- Luke Skywalker: Very good.
- Cobb Vanth: Is that a Naboo starfighter?
- The Mandalorian: That's what it started off as. Haven't seen you since you gave up your armor. How have you been?
- Cobb Vanth: More careful. Where's the little guy?
- The Mandalorian: Back with his own folk.
- Cobb Vanth: That's too bad. I guess we both lost something we were fond of.
- The Mandalorian: I didn't expect to see you here.
- Ahsoka Tano: I'm an old friend of the family.
- The Mandalorian: I thought you weren't going to help train Grogu.
- Ahsoka Tano: I'm not. Master Luke is.
- The Mandalorian: Then what are you doing here?
- Ahsoka Tano: That's my question for you.
- The Mandalorian: I'm here to see the kid.
- Ahsoka Tano: That's why R2 brought you to me instead.
- The Mandalorian: What is this place?
- Ahsoka Tano: There's nothing now, but will someday be a great school. Grogu will be its first student.
- The Mandalorian: I'd like to know how he's doing.
- Ahsoka Tano: He's doing fine.
- The Mandalorian: I wanna see him.
- Ahsoka Tano: I know you do. Let us take a walk.
- Fennec Shand: The Pyke Syndicate has been gathering soldiers the last few weeks. Mayor Mok Shaiz is on their payroll and has flown off-world, which leads us to believe the storm is about to break.
- Mok Shaiz's Majordomo: It was a scheduled vacation, actually.
- Fennec Shand: [glaring at him] Here's a map of where they are gathering, based on whispers. The three crime families of Mos Espa seem willing to lay low and let the Pykes move on our territory.
- [seeing Mando enter]
- Fennec Shand: This is the Mandalorian, Din Djarin. Thanks to him and Krrsantan, we now have enough experienced muscle to act as enforcers. The Mods have done a thorough job of surveying the streets, but we lack the numbers to cover our territory if an all-out war comes. We need foot soldiers.
- The Mandalorian: I might be able to help with that.
- Deputy Scott: You want to park your starship, you got to do it out there in the flats.
- The Mandalorian: I'm looking for Marshal Vanth.
- Deputy Scott: I don't think you heard what I said.
- The Mandalorian: I heard you.
- Cobb Vanth: I'll take it from here, Deputy.
- [Scott leaves]
- Cobb Vanth: He's new. Still a bit jumpy.
- Luke Skywalker: I want to tell you about someone you remind me of a great deal. His name was Yoda. He was small like you, but his heart was huge, and the Force was strong in him. He once said to me, "Size matters not." That's how he talked. He would speak in riddles. Have you ever heard anyone talk like that back home? Do you remember back home?
- [kneeling down]
- Luke Skywalker: Would you like to remember?
- [gently putting a hand on Grogu's head]
- Luke Skywalker: Let me help you remember.
- Cobb Vanth: [after Mando asks for help from the townspeople] Get the word out. I want all men and women of fighting age to come to town. I want to have a meeting.
- Weequay Proprietor: It's not our problem, Marshal.
- Cobb Vanth: No, but it might be after they hear what I'm gonna say.
