IG-11 quotes from The Mandalorian

The Mandalorian

They said 50 years old.

Species age differently. Perhaps it could live many centuries. [a green-skinned creature the size of a human baby appears out of the sheets] Sadly, we'll never know.

The Mandalorian

[holds off IG-11 from firing] No, we'll bring it in alive.

The commission was quite specific. The asset was to be terminated. [aims blaster at creature]

Mando

That thing is programmed to kill the baby.

Not anymore. [as IG-11 places the tea tray on the table, Kuill remembers the aftermath of the original battle and his efforts to rebuild the droid] It was left behind in the wake of your destruction. I found it, laying where it fell, devoid of all life. I recovered the flotsam and staked it as my own in accordance with the Charter of the New Republic. Little remained of its neural harness. Reconstruction was quite difficult, but not impossible. It had to learn everything from scratch. This is something that cannot be taught with the twist of a spanner. It requires patience, repetition. I spent day after day reinforcing its development with patience and affirmation. It developed a personality as its experiences grew.

Mando

Is it still a hunter?

No. But it will protect.

[lifting a cup] Tea?

This is bacta spray. It will heal you in a matter of hours. You have suffered damage to your central processing unit.

The Mandalorian

You mean my brain?

That was a joke. It is meant to put you at ease.

They will not be satisfied with anything less than the Child. This is unacceptable. I will eliminate the enemy, and you will escape.

Mando

You don't have that kind of firepower, pal. You wouldn't even get to daylight.

That is not my objective.

Cara Dune

We're getting close. Saddle up.

I still have the security protocols from my manufacturer. If my designs are compromised, I must self-destruct.

Mando

What are you talking about?

I'm not permitted to be captured. I must be destroyed.

Greef Karga

Are we gonna keep talking or we gonna get outta here?

[puts down the jetpack] I can no longer carry this for you. Nor can I watch over the child. [passing the Child to the Mandalorian]

Mando

Wait. You can't self-destruct. Your base command is to watch the child. That supersedes your manufacturer's protocol, right? Right?

This is correct.

Mando

Good. Now grab a blaster and help us shoot our way out.

Victory through combat is impossible. We will be captured. The Child will be lost. Sadly, there is no scenario where the Child is saved in which I survive.

Mando

Listen, you're not going anywhere. We need you. Let's just come with a-

Please tell me the Child will be safe in your care. If you do so, I can default to my secondary command.

Mando

But you'll be destroyed.

And you will live, and I will have served my purpose.

Mando

[emotional] No. We need you.

There is nothing to be sad about. I have never been alive.

Mando

I'm not sad.

Yes you are. I'm a nurse droid. I've analyzed your voice. [caressing the Child in farewell]

Greef

IG! [sees droid step off the boat into the lava stream] What are you doing?!

Manufacturer's protocol dictates I cannot be captured. [opens breastplate to reveal an active grenade] I must be destroyed. [blows up, killing the Stormtroopers]
