Top Andor Quotes
Doorman: No weapons. No comms. No credit. No nonsense.
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.
Cassian: I knew I could count on you.
Brasso: I’m not lending you any money.
Cassian: I knew that too.
Bix Caleen: What happened to you?
Cassian: I fell.
Bix Caleen: On what? A jealous husband?
Maarva Andor: Cassian. What have you done?
Cassian: I messed up.
Syril Karn: There comes a time when the risk of doing nothing becomes the greatest risk of all.
Luthen Rael: I see three choices. Either you’re an Imperial spy, you’re fronting for the person I really want to speak to, or you’re the thing itself.
Cassian: I see one choice. Either you got my money or you don’t.
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: 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.
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: [to Cassian] Wouldn’t you rather give it all at once to something real, than carve off useless pieces till there’s nothing left?
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.
Lieutenant Supervisor Belvin: It took the combined ingredients of idiocy, ineptitude, and total disengagement for this farce to have reached the full apex of incredulous disaster.
Lieutenant Supervisor Belvin: You fall here, you fall alone.
Eedy Karn: Syril. You’re slouching. Is that how you’ve been presenting yourself to the world? It would explain a great deal. Being a leader isn’t something one just turns on and off. By the time you’ve remembered to sit up straight, it’s too late. You might as well wear a sign that says, “I promise to disappoint you.” It’s a shame we couldn’t have seen more of each other when you were flourishing. I’d have the memory to sustain me.
Eedy Karn: Any civilized being knows an open invitation is no invitation at all.
Arvel Skeen: “The axe forgets, but the tree remembers.” Now it’s our turn to do the chopping.
Cassian Andor: So, that’s it? That’s why you’re here? Revenge?
Arvel Skeen: Yeah, that’s good enough for now.
Cassian Andor: Working with other people is never easy.
Arvel Skeen: Yeah. I didn’t mark you for a team player.
Cassian Andor: It always breaks at the weakest point.
Cassian Andor: I’m here to win and walk away.
Arvel Skeen: Wouldn’t that be lovely?
Karis Nemik: The pace of repression outstrips our ability to understand it. And that is the real trick of the Imperial thought machine. It’s easier to hide behind forty atrocities than a single incident.
Karis Nemik: [referring to Cassian] You don’t trust him?
Arvel Skeen: I barely trust you.
Karis Nemik: Surprise from above is never as shocking as one from below.
Vel Sartha: [referring to Gorn] He fell in love with a local woman and lost a promotion. Then he lost the woman. Then he lost his taste for the Empire. Everyone has their own rebellion.
Arvel Skeen: I need to know who I’m riding with.
Cassian Andor: You know exactly who I am. And you know I’ll kill you for it!
Cassian Andor: Of course I’m afraid. But there’s a difference between fear and losing your nerve.
Luthen Rael: The thief. Andor. I wasn’t careful.
Kleya Marki: You wanted this to happen. This is what it took. It’s never going to be perfect.
Luthen Rael: I wanted it too much.
Kleya Marki: It’ll all be over this time tomorrow.
Luthen Rael: Or it’ll just be starting.
Kleya Marki: Or that.
Karis Nemik: Weapons are tools. Those that use them are, by extension, assets that we must use to our best advantage.

Karis Nemik: So you think it’s hopeless, do you? Freedom? Independence? Justice? We should just submit and be thankful? Just take what we’re given?
Cassian Andor: Do I look thankful to you?
Arvel Skeen: [to Cassian] Don’t play the high mind with me. You’re not here to save anybody but yourself. I saw it the first minute you came into camp. You’re just like me. We were born in the hole, all we know is climbing over somebody else to get out.
Eedy Karn: Everything says something, Syril. I’ve tried to make you understand that, you’ve resisted.
Syril Karn: What is it that you hear my collar saying?
Eedy Karn: “Look at me. I don’t believe in myself. I am desperate for approval.”
Luthen Rael: Revolutions are expensive.
