Boba Fett quotes from The Book of Boba Fett

Boba Fett

Jabba ruled with fear. I intend to rule with respect.

Boba Fett

We could have both escaped if you didn't sound the alarm. If you kept your snout closed, if we can get to Anchorhead, I can get us off world. I could also strangle you with this ankle chain and feed your leg to the watchdog. [Rodian mutters at him] Oh, that you understand, huh?

Boba Fett

[to Garsa Fwip] Mayor Mok Shaiz sent me here as though there's something I should know. ...And now you're sweating like a gumpta on Mustafar.

Boba Fett

[shooing away Tuskens trying to dismantle the bikes] Whoa! These are mine! These are mine, stop! These are mine. I will teach you how to ride. I will teach you. This is how we will stop the train.

Boba Fett

Release him. [to Krrsantan] No hard feelings, it's just business. Take it from an ex-bounty hunter: don't work for scugholes. It's not worth it.

Boba Fett

[to Fennec] I want you to help me. Help me recover my Firespray gunship.

Boba Fett

Did you catch any of that?

Fennec Shand

Something about friendship?

Boba Fett

We really need a protocol droid.

These two Gamorreans were once bodyguards to Jabba the Hutt, and later, Bib Fortuna. They did not surrender even after their patron was killed. They were captured alive as a tribute to you, Lord Fett. Their tortured squeals will send a piercing message to all potential challengers to your throne. [Gamorreans grunting]

Boba Fett

I do not torture.

Well, respectfully, Lord Fett, on Tatooine you must project strength if you are to be accepted as a Daimyo.

Fett

You were loyal to both your bosses. [Gamorreans grunt] Would you be loyal to me if I were to spare you? [Gamorreans squeal and grunt in excitement; to Fennec] This is a bad idea.

Boba Fett

I am Boba Fett. I'm here to see the Mayor.

"Boba Fett." Um... Do you have an appointment?

[Via interpreter] Who is this who enters unannounced?

Boba Fett

You know damn well who.

Majordomo

It is the new Daimyo, Boba Fett, Your Excellence.

Fett

If you do not who know I am, then why did you send this man [points to captured assassin] to assassinate me?

Majordomo

I can assure you, the Mayor had nothing...

He's a member of the Order of the Night Wind.

Fett

Ah! Then you admit it.

The Order of the Night Wind are not allowed to operate outside of Hutt Space. Thank you for turning him in. Give this man his reward.

Fett

I am not a bounty hunter.

Is that so? I've heard otherwise. I know that you sit on the throne of your former employer.

Fett

Bib Fortuna was not my employer.

It was Jabba the Hutt's throne.

Fett

Yes. And now it is mine. And I will take this payment as what you should have brought me as tribute. You should remember, you serve as long as the Daimyo of Tatooine deem it so.

[rattled] Before you threaten me, you should ask yourself, who really sent the Night Wind? I have no motive. As you said, I serve at your pleasure.

Fett

I am not a fool, Mok Shaiz. And those who thought otherwise no longer draw breath.

Here is the tribute I offer, some advice. Running a family is more complicated than bounty hunting.

Fett

Is that it?

Go to Garsa's Sanctuary. You'll see what I speak of.

Boba Fett

Who's the leader? [Pykes point at leader]

Are you going to kill us?

Fett

That depends on how you answer what I'm about to ask. [Tusken Raider talks] Are you carrying spice?

What do you mean by "spice"?

Fett

Sansanna spice from the slave mines of Kessel.

What does spice look like?

Fett

Like that. This is not looking good for you.

We thought you were uncivilized raiders. We were trying to protect our route.

Fett

These sands are no longer free for you to pass. These people lay ancestral claim to the Dune Sea, and if you are to pass, a toll is to be paid to them. Any death dealt from the passing freighters will be returned ten-fold. Now, go back to your syndicate and present these terms. Your lives are a gesture of our civility. Now walk. Single file, in the direction of the high sun. It will lead you to Anchorhead by sunset if you leave now.

But we'll be killed.

Fett

You now travel under the protection of the Tuskens. No harm will come of you.

We will die of thirst without our water car.

Fett

We will give you each a black melon. You will survive on its milk as these people do. Now go.

I have a gift for you.

Boba Fett

A gift? Why?

You are a good guide. Now this gift will guide you.

Boba Fett

A lizard? Thank you. I will let it guide me.

Boba Fett

I'm sorry, I think I swallowed it. It's a tricky little bugger.

It will guide you from inside your head.

After the Sail Barge disaster, there was a power vacuum. Bib Fortuna assumed Jabba's mantle. Under Master Bib's watchful eye, Mos Espa was divided amongst three families. [outlines holomap] The Trandoshans took the city center. The Aqualish, the Worker's District here. And the Klatooinians, the starport and upper sprawl. Master Bib did not have the power of Jabba, so he relied on uneasy alliances to preserve his tribute and title.

Boba Fett

All of this while lining the pockets of Mayor Mok Shaiz. Where does that leave us now?

Fennec Shand

Everyone is waiting to see what kind of leader you are.

Boba Fett

Why speak of conflict when cooperation can make us all rich?

Master Garfalaquox asks what it is that you are proposing.

Fett

I am proposing that all the families of Mos Espa join in a defensive alliance until the Pyke Syndicate is vanquished.

They have only challenged your territory. Why should we spill the blood of our ranks for a feud waged between you and the Pykes?

Fett

Yes. Then I will fight these battles alone. I will vanquish these interlopers who threaten our planet. I will make the streets safe again. So all in this room can prosper. All I ask in return is that you remain neutral if the Pyke Syndicate approaches you to betray me.

Fennec Shand

You're a hunter:

Boba Fett

I'm tired of working for idiots who are gonna get me killed. The Tuskens took me in, made me part of their tribe. I was ready to leave hunting behind.

Fennec Shand

People like us don't get to decide when we're finished.
