Andor Best Quotes (TV Series)

B2EMO: [to Cassian] Maarva said you were out ruining your health and reputation with friends of low character. She told him sooner or later you were going to get yourself into trouble you couldn’t talk your way out of.

Cassian: Listen to me. It’s important. I know it takes a lot of energy, but can you make a lie for me?
B2EMO: I can lie. I have adequate power reserves.
Cassian: Don’t tell anybody you saw me. Don’t tell anybody you know where I am.
B2EMO: That’s two lies.
Cassian: Let’s have both.

Brasso: [to Cassian[ You insulted my choice of beverage. As host and provider, I was offended by this. You failed to gauge the depth of my irritation. You rose to make your point more vocally. I was helping you back into your chair when you fell. You were gone when I woke up. You’ve come here now to apologize. I accept your apology.

Cassian: I knew I could count on you.
Brasso: I’m not lending you any money.
Cassian: I knew that too.

Syril Karn: [to Hyne] Two men are dead, sir. Employees. If that’s not worth staying up for, then I’m not worthy of the uniform.

Chief Hyne: Tough case. Bad timing.
Syril Karn: I’m sure that in several days, with the proper resources, I can bring this case to a…
Chief Hyne: Stop! And I don’t mean just the talking. I mean stop. This case appears to bear all the hallmarks of what I like to describe as regrettable misadventure.

Chief Hyne: You look stricken, Deputy Inspector. Are you absorbing my meaning here?
Syril Karn: Trying, sir.
Chief Hyne: When I said bad timing, I wasn’t referring to the fact that you spent all night worrying this. I meant that I’m on my way this very morning to an Imperial Regional Command review, where I’ll be asked to make a report about our crime rates, and the goal of that speech, should you ever be asked to deliver it, is brevity. Minimizing the time the Empire spends thinking about Preox-Morlana benefits our superiors and, by extension, everyone here at the Pre-Mor Security Inspection team, which at the moment includes you.

Bix Caleen: What happened to you?
Cassian: I fell.
Bix Caleen: On what? A jealous husband?

Cassian: I have something to sell.
Bix Caleen: Don’t we all?

Cassian: I got an untraceable NS-9 Star path unit. Vector crystals and Imperial seal still intact.
Bix Caleen: How long have you had that?
Cassian: I need to move it, Bix.
Bix Caleen: You’ve been hiding it.
Cassian: I’ve been saving it.

Bix Caleen: [referring to the NS-9 Star path unit] Do you know how much that’s worth?
Cassian: Enough to get out of here, lay low till things cool off.

Bix Caleen: You’ve been holding out on me.
Cassian: And you’ve been skimming off the top. So let’s not get emotional.

Cassian: [referring to Timm] Well, it looks like it’s turned into something more than work.
Bix Caleen: Do I ask about your personal life?
Cassian: Just promise he knows nothing about any of this.
Bix Caleen: He’d do anything for me.
Cassian: No. No, no, no. That wasn’t my question.
Bix Caleen: No. He knows nothing about any of it.

Timm Karlo: [referring to Bix] She seems upset.
Cassian: It’s good to see you, Timm.
Timm Karlo: Seems like that happens every time you come around.
Cassian: I wouldn’t worry. She’s tougher than both of us.
Timm Karlo: I’m getting tired of hearing that.
Cassian: Then you’d better find yourself a less-complicated woman. Good luck with that.

Cassian: You need work this bad?
Nurchi: Leave him out of it.
Vetch: He said all I needed to do was stand here.
Cassian: Good. You keep at it.
Nurchi: You think I’m messing around?
Cassian: I hope so.

Pegla: Why are you swapping chip logs? You’re going to get us both in trouble.
Cassian: I didn’t like the way it was running last night.
Pegla: So you’re doing me a favor?
Cassian: Leave it better than you found it.
Pegla: The way you always do. The Cassian way.

Pegla: We’re done. No more favors. No more deals.
Cassian: Listen, this…
Pegla: Don’t. I don’t want to know what you’re doing, or why, or where you took this thing last night, or any of it. Finish up. Get out. Don’t come back.

Xanwan: You want immediacy and discretion. That’s an expensive combo.
Cassian: I got five hundred.
Xanwan: Well, you should plan more carefully.

Sergeant Linus Mosk: Cassian Andor. Not a recent image, but the best we’ve got. He may not appear to be a formidable opponent, but two of our men are dead having made that mistake.

Sergeant Linus Mosk: Andor should be considered armed and dangerous. We will have the element of surprise, but there should be no illusions as to the risks involved.

Syril Karn: There comes a time when the risk of doing nothing becomes the greatest risk of all. This is one of those decisive moments, and I can’t imagine a team I’d rather share it with than all of you. There’s no room for doubt on the path to success and justice. Best of luck to us all.

Willi: What’s your line? Rather not say? No need to explain. Who knows who you’re talking to these days. Me, I’m in propulsion. We do add-ons and boosters.

Willi: Never changes, does it? You know what they say?
Luthen Rael: No, what’s that?
Willi: If you can’t find it here, it’s not worth finding.

Luthen Rael: How?
Cassian: You just walk in like you belong.
Luthen Rael: Takes more than that, doesn’t it?
Cassian: What? To steal from the Empire? What do you need? A uniform, some dirty hands, and an Imperial tool kit. They’re so proud of themselves, they don’t even care. They’re so fat and satisfied, they can’t imagine it.
Luthen Rael: Can’t imagine what?
Cassian: That someone like me would ever get inside their house. Walk their floors. Spit in their food. Take their gear.
Luthen Rael: The arrogance is remarkable, isn’t it? They don’t even think about us.
Cassian: Us? I don’t know you.

Luthen Rael: I know you. These days will end, Cassian Andor. The way they laugh. The way they push through a crowd. The sound of that voice telling you to stop, to go, to move. Telling you to die. Rings in the ear, doesn’t it?
Cassian: Why don’t you let me count that money?
Luthen Rael: But they’ll think about us soon enough.
Cassian: We should get moving.
Luthen Rael: Soon enough, they’ll have something else to listen to.

Cassian: Who are you? What is this?
Luthen Rael: I said I know you. I know all about you. Yes, I want the box, and I’ll leave with that if it’s all I can get. I came looking for something more, and I think I’ve found it. I’d like you to come with me.
Cassian: How do you know about me?

Luthen Rael: I know you killed two Corpos at Morlana-One, and I know they’re coming for you. Seems like such a waste to let them have you. Waste of talent.
Cassian: Who are you?
Luthen Rael: That’s the wrong question. The right question is how much time do we have to get out of here.
Cassian: Why would I go anywhere with you?
Luthen Rael: Don’t you want to fight these b****rds for real?

Cassian: Maybe you are the Imperial spy.
Luthen Rael: To what purpose?
Cassian: If you knew they were coming for me, why would you be here now?
Luthen Rael: Special people are hard to find. I didn’t want to see you tossed on the pyre. I thought there was time to figure it out, but I was wrong.

Luthen Rael: [to Cassian] I’m the only decent bet you’ve got right now. You want to die being careful?

Luthen Rael: [to Cassian] Rule number one, never carry anything you don’t control.

Luthen Rael: [to Cassian] Rule number two, build your exit on your way in.

Luthen Rael: Which one do you want?
Cassian: How many of those charges you have left?

Cassian Andor: I wondered who you were.
Luthen Rael: Who am I?
Cassian Andor: Alliance, Sep, guerilla, Partisan Front. One of them.
Luthen Rael: Isn’t it all the same?
Cassian Andor: It is to me.

Cassian Andor: I think it’s all useless.
Luthen Rael: Better to spit in their food and steal their trinkets.
Cassian Andor: It’s better to live. Better to eat, sleep, do what you want.

Luthen Rael: [to Cassian] You lived because you ran. But you’re right about one thing. The Empire had you fighting each other, which should make you hate them all the more, and you do. I said I know you. I know the outside. I know what people tell me when I ask. The rest, I imagine. I imagine your hate. I imagine that no matter what you tell me, or tell yourself, you’ll ultimately die fighting these b****rds. So what I’m asking is this. Wouldn’t you rather give it all at once to something real, than carve off useless pieces till there’s nothing left? I didn’t risk my a** for the Star path unit. I came for you.

Major Partagaz: Security is an illusion. You want security? Call the Navy. Launch a regiment of troopers. We are healthcare providers. We treat sickness. We identify symptoms. We locate germs whether they arise from within, or have come from the outside. The longer we wait to identify a disorder, the harder it is to treat the disease.

Luthen Rael: It’s a down payment. It’s a Kuati Signet. Blue kyber. Sky stone. The ancient world. Celebrates the uprising against the Rakatan invaders. Don’t take less than fifty thousand for it. Just know it will always be worth more to me. I want it back when this is over.
Cassian Andor: If I live.
Luthen Rael: I want it back.

Luthen Rael: [referring to Cassian] He increases your chances of success dramatically.
Vel Sartha: Now? Like this? Five months in? Just plug in some new person? It’ll tear the team apart.
Luthen Rael: Well, then it’s not much of a team, is it? You’re vulnerable, and you know it. I’m buying you critical redundancy.

Luthen Rael: You wanted to lead? This is what it comes to. You got three days. Something feels off, something turns, someone starts to fold, you step up, you lead, you cancel the mission. I need to know you understand.
Vel Sartha: And if he’s the problem?
Luthen Rael: Well, that’s the advantage of renting him. He’s disposable.

Chief Hyne: I’ve had nothing to do with this.
Lieutenant Supervisor Belvin: Well, exactly. It took the combined ingredients of idiocy, ineptitude, and total disengagement for this farce to have reached the full apex of incredulous disaster.

Cassian Andor: You’re taking on an Imperial armory?
Vel Sartha: Are you not joining us?
Cassian Andor: Us? How many of us are there?
Vel Sartha: Now we are seven.
Cassian Andor: Seven? Seven against a garrison?

Lieutenant Supervisor Belvin: You’ve been here, what, just over a year? You might want to steady the ladder before you start climbing.
Dedra Meero: I’m not looking for career advice.
Lieutenant Supervisor Belvin: You fall here, you fall alone.

Mon Mothma: They’re watching me now.
Luthen Rael: Oh, they’re watching everyone.
Mon Mothma: This is different. They’re everywhere. There’s a new spy every day at the Senate.

Luthen Rael: We’re vulnerable enough. We need funding, not more people to worry about.
Mon Mothma: Don’t lecture me on vulnerability. No one’s more at risk than I am. You think I haven’t thought this through? I’d be the first one to fall.

Luthen Rael: It’s a daring choice, but I trust you’ll have the courage to turn back if it should be a bit much.
Mon Mothma: I appreciate that.

Vel Sartha: Clem, this is Lieutenant Gorn. He’s our contact at the garrison.
Lieutenant Gorn: Wounded on top of it.
Cassian Andor: On top of what?
Lieutenant Gorn: On top of being someone I’ve never met who’s suddenly got my neck in their hands.
Cassian Andor: I know the feeling.

Perrin Fertha: There’s rumor you bought me a present.
Mon Mothma: It’s going back.
Perrin Fertha: Must everything be boring and sad?

Cassian Andor: You’ll be lucky to make the horizon. It’s a suicide run.
Vel Sartha: Exactly.
Taramyn Barcona: That’s why they only keep a forty man regiment in the garrison.
Cassian Andor: Because they know no one’s stupid enough to try it.
Arvel Skeen: No one but us.

Dedra Meero: Sir, it is my feeling that this is part of an ongoing effort to steal proprietary Imperial equipment in anticipation of an organized rebellion. I have three previous case files on my desk that begin to suggest a pattern.
Major Partagaz: Your feeling.

Major Partagaz: [to Dedra] There’s a high bar for your performance, Lieutenant. Unfair perhaps, but senseless to ignore, and potentially the foundation of a uniquely superior career. You’re supposed to be more competent and tucked away. That’s why you’re here. That’s why we’re bringing in officers like you. Let’s remind everyone of that and not get lost in the dust.
