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.

Karis Nemik: [to Cassian] Dray milk. You can live on it. You may question your existence after a few days.

Karis Nemik: We’ve grown reliant on Imperial tech, and we’ve made ourselves vulnerable. There’s a growing list of things we’ve known and forgotten, things they’ve pushed us to forget. Things like freedom.

Karis Nemik: I mean, it’s so confusing, isn’t it? So much going wrong. There’s so much to say, and all of it happening so quickly. 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. But they have a fight on their hands, don’t they? Our elemental rights are such a simple thing to hold, they will have to shake the galaxy awfully hard to loosen our grip.

Arvel Skeen: I’d like to hear what Clem believes.
Cassian Andor: I know what I’m against. Everything else will have to wait.
Karis Nemik: You’re my ideal reader.

Karis Nemik: [referring to Cassian] You don’t trust him?
Arvel Skeen: I barely trust you.

Cassian Andor: I’ll pilot.
Vel Sartha: No, you’ll do as you’re told.
Cassian Andor: I’m flying it. We can say it’s your idea. I don’t care. But if it’s my a** on the line, I’m pulling this thing out of there.

Karis Nemik: Surprise from above is never as shocking as one from below.

Attendant Heert: I’m staying if you are.
Dedra Meero: I don’t know what I’m doing. About any of it.
Attendant Heert: Yes, you do. You’re onto something.

Dedra Meero: It’s too spread out to be organized.
Attendant Heert: But you don’t believe that.
Dedra Meero: I know this. If I was them, this is how I’d do it. I’d spread it out. Never climb the same fence twice.
Attendant Heert: It’s too random to be random.

Cassian Andor: Lieutenant Gorn. What’s an Imperial lieutenant doing getting involved with this?
Vel Sartha: What difference does it make?
Cassian Andor: Everyone else seems to know.
Vel Sartha: 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: [referring to Cassian and the kyber crystal] He comes here with nothing but the clothes on his back and a stone worth thirty thousand credits?
Vel Sartha: If you have a problem, you come to me.
Arvel Skeen: Here I am. I’ve topped out on questions, Vel. I have reached my limit. He won’t say why he’s here, where he’s from. He doesn’t say what he believes in. And now this? Who brings a treasure to a robbery?

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!

Vel Sartha: Give him the stone. You can kill each other later.
Arvel Skeen: You’d be right where I am.
Cassian Andor: Tell yourself whatever you want.

Cassian Andor: I’m being paid. Paid to be here. You need to know? That’s it.
Karis Nemik: What?
Cassian Andor: Yeah. I’m here for the money. You can’t live with that? I’m not worth it? I’ll walk away and wish you luck. But that’s what it is. I don’t want to walk in looking over my shoulder.

Cassian Andor: The day before is always hard. Too much time to worry.
Taramyn Barcona: You think we’re scared?
Cassian Andor: I know you are.
Karis Nemik: It’s really only the money?
Cassian Andor: To take a risk like this? Come on.
Taramyn Barcona: Maybe you’re the one that’s afraid.
Cassian Andor: Of course I’m afraid. But there’s a difference between fear and losing your nerve. You want out of this? Make a choice. Don’t use me as an excuse.

Kleya Marki: I don’t like seeing you nervous. There’s nothing else you can do, Luthen. They’re either going to be okay out there or they’re not.
Luthen Rael: Well, that’s a daring prediction.

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.

Cassian Andor: [referring to Taramyn] He likes giving orders, doesn’t he?
Arvel Skeen: Makes sense, right?
Cassian Andor: What do you mean?
Arvel Skeen: They didn’t tell you, did they? He was a stormtrooper.
Cassian Andor: Really?

Taramyn Barcona: You’re a soldier now, Clem. These people hate us. The ones that have climbed this far have made a life of it. Do not engage.

Commandant Jayhold Beehaz: The Dhanis have a rough appetite for fragrance.
Colonel Petigar: Yes, I’ve been warned.
Commandant Jayhold Beehaz: A bit of ceremonial nonsense, and we can tuck into a fine table. Above the stench.

Vel Sartha: You do everything they tell you.
Commandant Jayhold Beehaz: Just what are you after?
Vel Sartha: You’ll be taking us to the payroll vault.
Commandant Jayhold Beehaz: That’s insane.
Vel Sartha: Or we die together.

Commandant Jayhold Beehaz: You’ll never make it out.
Vel Sartha: You better pray we do.
Commandant Jayhold Beehaz: You have no idea…
Vel Sartha: One path! One choice. We win, or everyone dies. Starts now.

Vel Sartha: If you don’t help us, your family will die. If you slow us down, if you stall, if you argue, if you play us in anyway, they will die.
Commandant Jayhold Beehaz: You’ll kill us anyway.
Vel Sartha: Because that’s what you’d do, right? No. If we get what we came for, everyone walks away. But if we go down, you’re right there with us.

Commandant Jayhold Beehaz: You’ll hang for this.
Lieutenant Gorn: Seven years serving you? I deserve worse than that.

Karis Nemik: Climb. Full climb now!
Cassian Andor: What did you give him? I’m pegged here! I don’t have the speed to make it! And now you want me to climb?
Karis Nemik: Climb!

Vel Sartha: [referring to Nemik, who’s mortally wounded] Is he still with us?
Arvel Skeen: Yeah. You disappointed?
Vel Sartha: That’s not fair.

Arvel Skeen: [referring to Vel and Nemik] She doesn’t want to jeopardize the mission. This kid, I mean, this kid is the reason that we are here. He’s alive.

Cassian Andor: [after Skeen suggests they run off with the money they stole] So no rebellion for you?
Arvel Skeen: Oh, I’m a rebel. It’s just me against everybody else.
Cassian Andor: Where would that put me?
Arvel Skeen: Forty million credits is enough for me to forget all about you.

Cassian Andor: Your brother, with the orchard?
Arvel Skeen: I don’t have a brother.
Cassian Andor: So just leave them here?
Arvel Skeen: 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.

Vel Sartha: [after Nemik dies from his wounds and Cassian kills Skeen] Where’s Skeen? Skeen! Skeen!
Cassian Andor: He’s dead. He wanted to take the money and leave you here.
Vel Sartha: He wouldn’t do that.
Cassian Andor: You’re going to have to think about that.

Vel Sartha: You disgusting b****rd. Taramyn warned me.
Cassian Andor: I’m taking my cut. The number I was promised. I’m leaving you the freighter and what’s inside. I did my job. I’m done. And I wouldn’t stick around if I were you.

Vel Sartha: Nemik’s manifesto. He said to give this to you.
Cassian Andor: I don’t want it.
Vel Sartha: He insisted.

Husband: Got anything from Aldhani?
Luthen Rael: Excuse me?
Husband: Aldhani. Big rebel attack last night. It’s all the news.
Luthen Rael: I’ll have to look. Maybe we have something in the back.
Husband: Really? I was kidding.
[Luthen goes back into his stockroom and starts lauging to himself]

Luthen Rael: I warned you when we started.
Mon Mothma: You told me we were building a network.
Luthen Rael: What were my words?
Mon Mothma: This is something else entirely.
Luthen Rael: “Turning back will be impossible.” You knew where this was going. You’ve always known.

Luthen Rael: Has anyone ever made a weapon that wasn’t used?

Luthen Rael: The network’s been built. It’s up. It grows or it dies. We’ve waited long enough.
Mon Mothma: You realize what you’ve set in motion?
Luthen Rael: It was time for that as well.
Mon Mothma: Palpatine won’t hesitate now.
Luthen Rael: Exactly! We need it. We need the fear. We need them to overreact.
Mon Mothma: You can’t be serious.

Luthen Rael: The Empire has been choking us so slowly, we’re starting not to notice. The time has come to force their hand.
Mon Mothma: People will suffer.
Luthen Rael: That’s the plan.

Luthen Rael: [to Mon Mothma] You’re not angry at me. I’m just saying out loud what you already know. There will be no rules going forward. If you’re not willing to risk your conscience, then surrender and be done with it.

Kleya Marki: [referring to Mon Mothma] I hope she’s worth it.
Luthen Rael: Well, we’ll see, won’t we?
Kleya Marki: We can’t hide forever.

Kleya Marki: Every loss is different. Every one’s the same.

Kleya Marki: We have a loose end. Cassian Andor, who you know as Clem. You need to find him.
Vel Sartha: Find him?
Kleya Marki: We can’t have him walking around with Luthen in his head.
Vel Sartha: You mean kill him.
Kleya Marki: This is what revolution looks like, Vel.

Maarva Andor: You can’t be here, Cass. The Imperials are here to stay. They’re not going away this time. It’s all come undone.

Cassian Andor: We go tonight.
Maarva Andor: Tonight?
Cassian Andor: Yeah, why not? What do we need to take but the three of us? Huh? Get out of the cold and damp. Find somewhere warm and easy. I can make it happen. It’s all going to be different now, Ma.

Tay Kolma: Life takes us where it will. You’ve become all this. All these years. We’re both a long way from where we started.
Mon Mothma: Have I changed so much?
Tay Kolma: We’ve all had to adapt.

Mon Mothma: I’ve spent a great deal of time thinking about this conversation, Tay. I want to tell you something that only three people in the galaxy know about.
Tay Kolma: Why would you want to do that?
Mon Mothma: Because I need your help. And I’m hoping I can trust you.
Tay Kolma: Is this personal or political?
Mon Mothma: Political.
Tay Kolma: Then I’d suggest you hesitate.

Tay Kolma: [to Mon Mothma] We’ve both changed. I’ve done more than grow weary of the Empire. I’m afraid you’d find my politics a bit strong for your taste. Your world is inescapably linked to the Empire. You’re with these people all the time. I’m not sure you’re aware how far afield some of us have taken our political allegiances these days.

Mon Mothma: What you see, what people say about me, it’s a clear picture, isn’t it? I’m a polite, sometimes indecisive Senator, who spends her days fighting and failing to protect Separatist do-gooders and battle Empire overreach. An irritation, as you so harshly put it.
Tay Kolma: I’ve made you angry.
Mon Mothma: No. No. You’ve set me free.

Mon Mothma: It’s a lie. The Mon Mothma people think they know, it’s a lie. It’s a projection. It’s a front. Smile. I’ve learned from Palpatine. I show you the stone in my hand, you miss the knife at your throat.

Mon Mothma: They know they watch me, and I want that, because as long as everyone thinks I’m an irritation, there’s a good chance they’ll miss what I’m really doing.
Tay Kolma: What are you really doing?
Mon Mothma: Raising money.

Mon Mothma: I’ve explored the alternatives. You’re my best shot.
Tay Kolma: You haven’t answered my question.
Mon Mothma: And I won’t. You’re better off not knowing. Or perhaps, you’d find my politics a bit strong for your taste.

Cassian Andor: Troopers won’t catch me. Not here.
Bix Caleen: They won’t have to. You’ll be turned in.
Cassian Andor: By who?
Bix Caleen: By who? By anyone. People blame you for what happened.

Cassian Andor: If Timm had kept his mouth shut.
Bix Caleen: If this, if that. If you, if me, if Timm.
Cassian Andor: We were doing a deal you set up.
Bix Caleen: You scam. You borrow. You lie. You disappear.
Cassian Andor: Your crazy boyfriend tries to get me killed, and I’m the villain?
Bix Caleen: You need to get as far away from here as you can.

Clem Andor: [flashback, as they’re watching the stormtroopers] This is not our fight, Cass. Don’t worry. They won’t be here long. They’re just going to raise their silly flag and fly away.

Cassian Andor: We’ll find a place they haven’t ruined yet.
Maarva Andor: I’m already there. That place is in my head. They can build as many barracks as they like, they’ll never find me.
Cassian Andor: What’s left to keep you here?
Maarva Andor: The Rebellion.
Cassian Andor: What?

Cassian Andor: So now you’re taking on the Empire?
Maarva Andor: Laugh if you want to.
Cassian Andor: Who’s laughing? This is madness!
Maarva Andor: No, it’s not. It’s overdue, and probably doomed, and I’m too old, and I don’t care anymore.

Maarva Andor: [to Cassian, referring to the Aldhani robbery] I heard that, I put on my best coat, and I walked across the square with a smile on my face. If there are heroes brave enough to take on a whole Imperial garrison, I’m brave enough to stick it out here. I don’t expect you to understand.

Cassian Andor: Aldhani was just a robbery.
Maarva Andor: People are standing up.
Cassian Andor: Yeah, and getting killed for it.
Maarva Andor: But there’s work that will need doing.
Cassian Andor: Yeah? What is that?
Maarva Andor: Whatever it takes. I’ve been lying around waiting to die long enough.

Cassian Andor: You can’t beat them, Maarva.
Maarva Andor: Not if I run away. You have a different path, Cass, and I am not judging you. Everything you’ve been through, everything that was taken away from you before you even started. Take all the money you’ve found and go and find some peace.
Cassian Andor: I won’t have peace. I’ll be worried about you all the time.
Maarva Andor: That’s just love. Nothing you can do about that. I’ve never loved anything the way I love you, and I’ve never fretted on anything more, but this time, you can’t stay, and I can’t go.

Maarva Andor: Tell me you understand.
Cassian Andor: I don’t.
Maarva Andor: You will. You’ll see.

Maarva Andor: And just one more thing. Just stop searching for your sister. It’s a fantasy. There were no survivors on Kenari. What happened there was not your responsibility. You were a child. Let it go.
Cassian Andor: I’m coming back.
Maarva Andor: Of course you are.

Major Partagaz: Well played.
Dedra Meero: Thank you, sir.
Major Partagaz: Watch your back.

Shoretrooper: [at Niamos, after being caught walking the wrong way down the beach] You look like you’re sweating.
Cassian Andor: Well, it’s hot.
Shoretrooper: Or you’ve been running.
Cassian Andor: Why would I be running?
Shoretrooper: Because you’re a part of it.
Cassian Andor: Part of what?

Cassian Andor: I’m just a tourist.
Judge: Oh, apologies all around then. This used to be a six month sentence. Six years.
Cassian Andor: Six years?

Cassian Andor: [after he’s been given a six year sentence] I didn’t do anything! Hey!
Judge: Take it up with the Emperor.
Cassian Andor: Wait. I’m just a tourist!

Colonel Yularen: [to the prisoners] Your length of stay has been predetermined. The quality of that time will be up to you.

Colonel Yularen: [to the prisoners] Do your time productively, keep to your lane, and this needn’t be more than a memory. Good luck to you.

Syril Karn: [to Dedra] I was a good deputy inspector! I was very good. I solved a double murder and found the killer in two days. I was overly ambitious, yes. But time was slipping away, and the opportunity was real. Service to the Empire, you just said it. Can one ever be too aggressive in preserving order? I didn’t deserve what happened.

Syril Karn: It’s clear you need Andor in order to find his partner. It’s also clear that whatever this is, it’s more important than the death of two Corporate Security guards. I could be a valuable asset going forward.
Dedra Meero: Raise the alarm one more time, and it won’t be me you’re speaking to. Forget this happened.

Kino Loy: [to Andor] They only come to pick up the dead and bring their replacements. You’re mine now.

Kino Loy: [to Andor] The point of this conversation is that you understand one thing most clearly. I have two hundred and forty-nine days left of my sentence. I have a free hand in how I run this room. I’m used seeing my ruling to being in the top three on the level. You will want to keep that happening. I’m sensing you understand me. Sick, injured, you talk to me. Problems with another inmate, I’ll know before you do. Losing hope, your mind, keep it to yourself. Don’t ever slow up my line.

Perrin Fertha: [referring to the drink] You used to like it.
Mon Mothma: I was just better at pretending.
Perrin Fertha: Well, that I find hard to believe.

Perrin Fertha: Well, good luck, feeding the galaxy. I’m off to feed myself.
Tay Kolma: Charity begins at home.

Senator Dhow: Palpatine’s frustrating, yes, we agree. Too easily provoked? Yes. Overreactive, but…
Senator Teenar: Understatement.
Senator Dhow: Says what he means.

Mon Mothma: How much protection is enough?
Senator Vivyn: We know what too little looks like.
Senator Teenar: Surveillance and prosecution without limit.
Senator Dhow: If you’re doing nothing wrong, what is there to fear?
Mon Mothma: Well, I’m fearing your definition of wrong.

Senator Vivyn: These are dangerous times.
Senator Teenar: Dangerous times?
Senator Dhow: Are they not?
Mon Mothma: Do you feel under threat?
Senator Dhow: Personally? Here, yes. I’m at great risk of ingesting too much of this nourishing Chandrilan hospitality.

Jemboc: [to Andor] Tough way to start, getting fried twice in one day. But perhaps in a few shifts, we can pull a winner. Winner gets taste with their food. Top table wins flavor. Last place gets fried.

Melshi: [to Andor] You’re here until they don’t want you anymore. Get straight with that.
Kino Loy: Enough! Melshi!
Melshi: Anyone who thinks they’re getting out now is dreaming. Those days are over.

Bix Caleen: It’s not complaining if you tell me what’s going on. Oh, you’re freezing.
Maarva Andor: My mother was a whiner and that’ll cure you.

Vel Sartha: Haven’t we been apart long enough?
Cinta Kaz: It’s not about us.
Vel Sartha: After what we’ve been through?
Cinta Kaz: You think the Empire stops to catch its breath? This is a fight to the death, Vel.

Vel Sartha: Who would you say you are?
Cinta Kaz: Maybe I’m a rich girl running away from her family.
Vel Sartha: Well, that’s cold. Even for you.
Cinta Kaz: I told you upfront, the struggle will always come first. We take what’s left. I’m a mirror, Vel. You love me because I show you what you need to see.

Kleya Marki: You’re slipping! We’re shutting down Ferrix. The code, the frequency, all of it. I’m thinking clearly and you’re not. Tell me to shut it down.
Luthen Rael: It’s Andor. Knowing he’s out there, knowing me, not knowing what he knows. I took him on the Fondor. Was I insane?
Kleya Marki: You were desperate for Aldhani to work and it did. And we’ll find him, just not like this.

Luthen Rael: I’m not slipping, Kleya. I’ve just been hiding for too long.
Kleya Marki: It’s all different now. We’re going loud. Vulnerability is inevitable.
Luthen Rael: I’m not slipping.
Kleya Marki: I know. I just need you to wake up. There’s a lot to do.

Saw Gerrera: Aren’t you tired of playing behind the scenes, Luthen?
Luthen Rael: Aren’t you tired of fighting with people who agree with you?
Saw Gerrera: You come all this way to scold me? Or did you bring me some toys?

Saw Gerrera: I work alone.
Luthen Rael: That’s what I’m trying to change.
Saw Gerrera: I’m not going to put my people at risk for someone else.
Luthen Rael: We need to pull together, Saw! Whatever our final version of success looks like, there’s no chance any of us can make it real on our own. We need the Empire to help. We need them angry. We need them coming down hard. Oppression breeds rebellion.

Saw Gerrera: What are you, Luthen? I’ve never really known. What are you?
Luthen Rael: I’m a coward. I’m a man who’s terrified the Empire’s power will grow beyond the point where we can do anything to stop it. I’m the one who says, “We’ll die with nothing if we don’t put aside our petty differences.”
Saw Gerrera: Petty? I am the only one with clarity of purpose.
Luthen Rael: Well, anarchy is a seductive concept. A bit of a luxury I’d argue to a man who is hiding in cold caves, and begging for spare parts.

Dedra Meero: The very worst thing you can do right now is bore me.
Bix Caleen: You’re not going to believe me anyway, are you?
Dedra Meero: No. I suppose not. She’s all yours, Dr. Gorst.

Doctor Gorst: [to Bix, as he’s about to begin torturing her] Oh, the restraints are nothing to be feared. It’s much safer for you to be tethered as we engage. There’s nothing intrinsically physical about this process, but we’ve had some early trials that were a bit chaotic.

Doctor Gorst: Let me know when you’re willing to cooperate. Oh, and if you’re having difficulty speaking, just shake your head from side to side.
Dedra Meero: You’ll want to be sure of that, Bix, that you’re cooperating fully. It’s repeat listenings that cause the most damage. Are we ready? Let’s get on with it.

Dedra Meero: [referring to Bix] Keep her alive.
Captain Vanis Tigo: As a hostage?
Dedra Meero: She’s a witness. She’s the only one we’ve got who can identify Axis.
Captain Vanis Tigo: And Salman Paak?
Dedra Meero: I don’t care.
Captain Vanis Tigo: I’d like to hang him. What’s left of him anyway. Make sure they know who’s in charge.
Dedra Meero: As you wish.

Mon Mothma: Where have you been?
Vel Sartha: Traveling.
Mon Mothma: Six months?
Vel Sartha: There’s a lot to see.

Vel Sartha: The Empire doesn’t rest, Mon. The Rebellion comes first. We take what’s left.

Mon Mothma: Seriously, Vel, what does he have you doing?
Vel Sartha: Who?

Vel Sartha: You’re one to worry about. Trapped here, boxed in.
Mon Mothma: Please tell me you’re being careful.
Vel Sartha: Things are happening. There’s risk. There’s no other way.
Mon Mothma: I’m starting to think we’re in over our heads. He’s got us spinning…
Vel Sartha: Stop. You took a vow.

Cassian Andor: You never think about escaping?
Kino Loy: You know I won’t answer that.
Cassian Andor: I’ll take that as a no.
Kino Loy: Take what you like. You flap that mouth of yours any longer, you’ll regret it.
Cassian Andor: I’m sure you’ve thought about it.

Cassian Andor: How many guards on each level?
Kino Loy: You want out of here alive, turn that part of your mind off.

Cassian Andor: So, tell me what you know before you go.
Kino Loy: You’ve been warned.
Cassian Andor: You think they care what we say?
Kino Loy: You’re on your own with this.
Cassian Andor: Why? You think they’re listening? You think they care enough to make an effort?
Kino Loy: Like you would know.

Cassian Andor: I know this. They don’t need to care. All they need to do is turn this floor on twice a day, and keep their numbers rolling. Why bother listening to us? We are nothing to them. Melshi’s right. We’re cheaper than droids and easier to replace.
Kino Loy: Good luck to you.
Cassian Andor: You think they care what we say? Nobody’s listening. Nobody.

Supervisor Lagret: [referring to Maarva] You didn’t question the mother?
Dedra Meero: I decided to wait. Better now leaving her in place and standing back. She’s too old and frail for anything serious, and if nothing else, she’s our bait.

Cassian Andor: We need to be careful. The less they think we know, the better.

Eedy Karn: I find you a job. I press your uniform. I prepare two meals a day. I move mountains to scrape you off the floor, and put you back on your feet, and what do I reap? What is the return on my investment?
Syril Karn: We were talking about you snooping on me.
Eedy Karn: The shadow of a son, a tenant, a stranger.
Syril Karn: That’s new. You’ll want to remember that.

Perrin Fertha: Find yourself a husband?
Vel Sartha: Wasn’t on my list of things to do.
Perrin Fertha: Well, you need a widower at this point. Who’s left of any value at your age?
Vel Sartha: Yes. All the good ones are taken.

Perrin Fertha: At least you’ve not gone political, Vel. All the interesting people are getting very tedious these days.
Vel Sartha: No one ever calls me tedious.

Mon Mothma: Be a spoiled, rich girl for a while. Remind people that’s who you are.
Vel Sartha: I’ll try.
Mon Mothma: What have we done, Vel?
Vel Sartha: We’ve chosen a side. We’re fighting against the dark. We’re making something of our lives.

Dedra Meero: Are you stalking me?
Syril Karn: I know you work here, and I come sometimes to see if I’ll see you.

Syril Karn: [to Dedra] I thought I had ruined my life. I thought I was done. After meeting you and discovering, you understood how dangerous Cassian Andor was. Just being in your presence, I’ve realized that life is worth living. I realized that if nothing else, there was justice, and beauty in the galaxy. And if I just kept going, perhaps my deranged belief that there was something better fated for me in the future was a dream worth clinging to.

Dedra Meero: I could have you arrested, you are aware of that?
Syril Karn: I want what you want. I sense it. I know it.
Dedra Meero: You’re out of your mind. I have already given you a second chance. You come near me again, you pursue any of this, and I swear I’ll have you in a cage on the Outer Rim.

Cassian Andor: His name is Ulaf.
Doctor Rhasiv: I don’t want to know his name.
Kino Loy: He’s got forty shifts left. So we just want something to get him through the next few days. Get him back on his feet.
Doctor Rhasiv: That’s not an option.
Cassian Andor: What?
Kino Loy: What, you can’t save him?
Doctor Rhasiv: There’s nothing to save. He’s had a massive stroke.

Kino Loy: What are you doing?
Doctor Rhasiv: [referring to Ulaf] I can’t help him. I can’t help anyone.

Doctor Rhasiv: [referring to Ulaf] He’s lucky. He’ll pass peacefully, which is more than I can say for the rest of us. Another week like this, and you’ll be begging for what he’s getting.
Cassian Andor: What do you mean?
Doctor Rhasiv: You heard me.

Cassian Andor: No one’s getting out, are they?
Doctor Rhasiv: Not now. Not after this. At least your friend is free.

Cassian Andor: How many guards are on each level?
Kino Loy: Never more than twelve.

Davo Sculdun: I know it’s tasteless and cliché, but one of the indulgences of great wealth is freedom from other people’s opinions.

Davo Sculdun: I like when things are clear. But then I always get to thinking, what’s around the corner?
Mon Mothma: Your curiosity has clearly been profitable.

Davo Sculdun: Boundaries can be liberating. The old ways have value.

Davo Sculdun: I want no fee. Money means very little to me at this point. Charity, isn’t it?
Mon Mothma: I insist.
Davo Sculdun: And I refuse.
Mon Mothma: Please take no offense, I’d prefer not to owe any favors. I’d feel far more comfortable paying you for your trouble.
Davo Sculdun: A drop of discomfort may be the price of doing business.

Davo Sculdun: [to Mon Mothma] Neither of us have lived a life that encourages nonconformity.

Kleya Marki: I don’t like it. Not now, I don’t like the timing.
Luthen Rael: You don’t like anything.

Taga: I’m dead. I’m pretending to be dead.
Cassian Andor: Don’t die until you put up a fight. One way out.

Ham: Calm down.
Taga: How?
Xaul: I thought you were dead already.

Cassian Andor: [referring to the other prisoners] Tell them what to do. It has to be you. Come on, Kino. You do this every day. Tell them what to do.

Kino Loy: How long we hang on, how far we get, how many of us make it out, all of that is now up to us.

Kino Loy: They don’t have enough guards, and they know it. If we wait until they figure that out, it’ll be too late. We will never have a better chance than this, and I would rather die trying to take them down than giving them what they want.

Kino Loy: We know that no one outside here knows what’s happening. And now we know, that when they say we are being released, we are being transferred to some other prison to go and die. And that ends today! There is one way out. Right now, the building is ours. You need to run, climb, kill! You need to help each other. You see someone who’s confused, someone who is lost, you get them moving, and you keep them moving until we put this place behind us.

Kino Loy: There are five thousand of us. If we can fight half as hard as we’ve been working, we will be home in no time. One way out!

Cassian Andor: [as the prisoners are jumping down to the sea] Whatever happens now, we made it!

Cassian Andor: [as Kino is hesitating to jump into the water] What’s wrong?
Kino Loy: I can’t swim.

Supervisor Lonni Jung: It’s not fair. You knowing. Watching me. Do you ever think how it might feel from my side?
Luthen Rael: I think about you constantly.

Supervisor Lonni Jung: [after he tells Luthen he can’t be his spy anymore] I’ve been working my way through there for six years. Working my way up. Alone.
Luthen Rael: So, what was your plan? Gather a big basket of goodies for me as a farewell gift?

Luthen Rael: Even as you say the words, you know it’s impossible. We can’t let you go, Lonni. We can’t spare you. We’ve been grooming you for too long. And, yes, you’ve been alone. But your career has profited greatly from information that we’ve provided. Information that cost me dearly.

Luthen Rael: You’re trapped, Lonni. There’s no pleasure in saying it but you’re going nowhere.
Supervisor Lonni Jung: My sacrifice? It means nothing to you, does it?
Luthen Rael: I said I think of you constantly and I do. Your investment in the Rebellion is epic. A double life? Every day a performance? The stress of that? We need heroes, Lonni, and here you are.

Supervisor Lonni Jung: And what do you sacrifice?
Luthen Rael: Calm. Kindness. Kinship. Love.

Luthen Rael: I’ve given up all chance at inner peace. I’ve made my mind a sunless space. I share my dreams with ghosts. I wake up every day to an equation I wrote fifteen years ago from which there’s only one conclusion, I’m damned for what I do. My anger, my ego, my unwillingness to yield, my eagerness to fight, they’ve set me on a path from which there’s no escape. I yearned to be a savior against injustice without contemplating the cost, and by the time I looked down, there was no longer any ground beneath my feet.

Luthen Rael: What is my sacrifice? I’m condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them. I burn my decency for someone else’s future. I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I’ll never see. And the ego that started this fight will never have a mirror, or an audience, or the light of gratitude. So what do I sacrifice? Everything! You’ll stay with me, Lonni. I need all the heroes I can get.

Kleya Marki: [to Vel] Everything you’re doing right now is wrong.

Kleya Marki: [referring to Luthen] You’re off the rails. You’re lucky he’s not here.
Vel Sartha: I gave him Aldhani. What have you done lately?
Kleya Marki: I don’t have lately. I have always. I have a constant blur of plates spinning, and knives on the floor, and needy, panicked faces at the window, of which you are but one of many.

Brasso: [referring to Maarva] She’s not here, Bee. She’s in the stone now. She’s on her way.
B2EMO: I can wait to make sure.
Brasso: I can’t leave you here alone. She wouldn’t want that.
B2EMO: You could stay.
Brasso: One night.

Mon Mothma: I thought Tay could help me replace the credits and get me started again, but what he really did was discover just how much more trouble I was in. Here I am.

Eedy Karn: [to Syril] The mystery of your former triumphs have been vanquished. I can sleep peacefully now.

Luthen Rael: ISB knows Kreegyr’s plan. They’ll be waiting for him.
Saw Gerrera: And how do we know this?
Luthen Rael: I won’t tell you that.
Saw Gerrera: And Kreegyr, he doesn’t know. How do you know I won’t tell him?
Luthen Rael: I don’t. I don’t know what you’ll do. But it’s far from ideal for either of us.
Saw Gerrera: You’re willing to burn him.
Luthen Rael: You’re the random factor.

Saw Gerrera: You think it’s worth losing Kreegyr?
Luthen Rael: I did. I’m not sure right now.
Saw Gerrera: What if it was me instead of Kreegyr? What would you do?
Luthen Rael: Kreegyr doesn’t know me. I’m not vulnerable if he’s captured.

Luthen Rael: [referring ti Kreegyr] He can’t hurt me.
Saw Gerrera: Like I can.
Luthen Rael: It’s your decision, Saw. It’s your decision. But know the choice. Do we let Kreegyr go down and play the long game, or do we warn him and throw away a source that’s taken years to cultivate?

Saw Gerrera: [to Luthen] There’s no way out alive. Of that you must be sure.

Luthen Rael: I didn’t want you to have to make this choice.
Saw Gerrera: Thirty men.
Luthen Rael: Plus Kreegyr.
Saw Gerrera: For the greater good.
Luthen Rael: Call it what you will.
Saw Gerrera: Let’s call it war.

Cassian Andor: Tell Maarva I’m okay. Tell her I’m thinking about her. She’d be proud of me. And I’ll get back as soon as I can. Can you remember that?
Xanwan: Cass, hang on.
Cassian Andor: No names! I’m counting on you, Xan. Just let her know what I said.
Xanwan: Wait.
Cassian Andor: What?
Xanwan: Cass, I’m sorry. Your mother’s dead.

Melshi: How many do you think made it? How many of us made it out alive?
Cassian Andor: Not enough.
Melshi: What if it’s just us? What if we’re the only ones? Somebody’s got to tell people what’s happening back there. We need to split up. Double our chances. One of us has to make it. People have to know what’s going on.
Cassian Andor: [gives him the weapon] I know. Take this.
Melshi: People have to know about this.

Cassian Andor: I wanted her to leave with me.
Brasso: I know.
Cassian Andor: I came to get her.
Brasso: She told me.
Cassian Andor: I couldn’t get back.

Cassian Andor: I never should have left that morning.
Brasso: Stop. She told me you’d say all this. “Tell him, none of this is his fault. It was already burning. He’s just the first spark of the fire. Tell him, he knows everything he needs to know, and feels everything he needs to feel. And when the day comes, and those two pull together, he will be an unstoppable force for good. Tell him I love him more than anything he could ever do wrong.”

Cassian Andor: [referring to Bix] We can’t just leave her there.
Brasso: You’re going to take on a full garrison?
Cassian Andor: I’ll take care of Maarva. You take care of yourself.
Brasso: It’s too late for that.

Luthen Rael: [referring to Cassian] They’ll do the hunting for us. They’ll want him alive. They’ll find him, we’ll kill him.

Maarva Andor: My name is Maarva Carassi Andor. I’m honored to stand before you. I’m honored to be a Daughter of Ferrix, and honored to be worthy of the stone. Strange, I feel as if I can see it.

Maarva Andor: I always wanted to be lifted. I was always eager, always waiting to be inspired. I remember every time it happened, every time the dead lifted me with their truth. And now I’m dead. And I yearn to lift you. Not because I want to shine, or even be remembered. It’s because I want you to go on. I want Ferrix to continue. In my waning hours, that’s what comforts me most.

Maarva Andor: But I fear for you. We’ve been sleeping. We’ve had each other, and Ferrix, our work, our days. We had each other, and they left us alone. We kept the trade lanes open, and they left us alone. We took their money and ignored them, we kept their engines churning, and the moment they pulled away, we forgot them. Because we had each other. We had Ferrix.

Maarva Andor: But we were sleeping. I’ve been sleeping. And I’ve been turning away from the truth I wanted not to face. There is a wound that won’t heal at the center of the galaxy. There is a darkness reaching like rust into everything around us. We let it grow, and now it’s here. It’s here, and it’s not visiting anymore. It wants to stay.

Maarva Andor: The Empire is a disease that thrives in darkness, it is never more alive than when we sleep. It’s easy for the dead to tell you to fight, and maybe it’s true, maybe fighting is useless. Perhaps it’s too late. But I’ll tell you this, if I could do it again, I’d wake up early and be fighting these b****rds from the start. Fight the Empire!

Dedra Meero: You? How?
Syril Karn: You were in trouble. Syril.
Dedra Meero: I knew that. I should say thank you.
Syril Karn: You don’t have to.

B2EMO: You’re not coming?
Cassian Andor: Not today, Bee.
B2EMO: I never got to see you.
Cassian Andor: You take care of Bix until I get there. I’m counting on you.
B2EMO: You always say that.
Cassian Andor: And you always come through.

Bix Caleen: He’ll find us. Cassian will find us.
Cassian Andor: I will. I’ll find you. Now, go!

Cassian Andor: You came here to kill me, didn’t you?
Luthen Rael: You don’t make it easy.
Cassian Andor: I will now.
Luthen Rael: What game is this?
Cassian Andor: No game. Kill me. Or take me in.
[Luthen puts down the weapon and smiles at Cassian]
