Quotes 

• The Armorer : This is the Forge. It is the heart of Mandalorian culture. Just as we shape the Mandalorian steel, we shape ourselves. We all begin as raw ore. We refine ourselves through trials and adversity. The Forge can reveal weaknesses. It is a tradition in our culture for each to donate a small portion of what they earn to the foundlings. It is with these scraps of beskar that I forged your next piece of armor. Mandalorian steel shall keep you safe as you grow stronger. You will grow into this rondel as you grow into your station, foundling Grogu.

• The Armorer : [Bo-Katan sustains damage to her armor]  I can replace what's missing, but not with its modern refinements. Shall I inlay the signet of the Nite Owl?

  Bo-Katan Kryze : Would it be acceptable to wear one pauldron of the Nite Owl and another with the Mythosaur?

  The Armorer : The Mythosaur belongs to all Mandalorians. It is always acceptable to wear.

  Bo-Katan Kryze : I would like that.

  [as the Armorer works] 

  Bo-Katan Kryze : What would you say if I told you I saw one?

  The Armorer : That you saw what?

  Bo-Katan Kryze : A Mythosaur.

  The Armorer : I would say you're very lucky. It is a noble vision.

  Bo-Katan Kryze : No. I mean a real one. Beneath the Living Waters on Madalore.

  The Armorer : When you choose the walk the Way of the Mandalore, you will see many things.

  Bo-Katan Kryze : But it was real.

  The Armorer : This is the Way.

• Bo-Katan Kryze : [after a foundling is abducted by a dragon-like creature]  I scouted where it lives and mapped the location. There. The nest.

  The Mandalorian : It flew a long way.

  Bo-Katan Kryze : I will go get him.

  Paz Vizsla : The mountains are too high. If we use jetpacks, the beast will hear.

  The Armorer : It would kill the child.

  Bo-Katan Kryze : These are no higher than the peaks of Kyrimorut. I used to climb them in basic training. I'll fly to the foothills, scale the rest of the way on foot.

  The Mandalorian : I'll join you.

  The Armorer : Paz Vizsla, enjoin the Shriek-hawk Training team to accompany you. I will pack extended lariats for your launchers. We must avoid explosives and blasters for the safety of the foundling.

• The Armorer : Bo-Katan Kryze, you have honored your house and all of Mandalore. You have done the highest honor of the Creed. Saving a foundling.

  Bo-Katan Kryze : This is the Way.
