Andor The Andor quotes thread

Thought it would be cool to have a thread where we post and discuss the best lines from Andor, a show with some absolutely exquisite writing. I can start:

We're the Rydo, kid! We're the fuel, we're the thing that explodes when there's too much friction in the air!

~ Saw Gerrera, S2E5 - "I Have Friends Everywhere"

This speech from Saw makes me wish we got a bit more of him in Season 2. The monologue here functions as Saw's manifesto in the same way that Nemik's guides the mainstream rebels. Saw's partisans have surrendered to chaos, they are agents of violence, and in some sense he's right to claim that he's the only one with clarity of purpose - but it's something of a death cult, and ultimately, it's Mon Mothma's collaborative, coalition-building Rebellion, a Rebellion built on hope, that topples the Empire.

 

'On program' gets stuck in my head.

 

I AM JUST A TOURST

 

Are you a tourist

 

Calibrate your enthusiasm

 

Best Andor quotes?



I guess if I had to choose:

S1: "I'd like to hang him, what's left of him anyway."
S2: "I wish you were drunk!"
Honorable mention: All of Eedy Karn's dialogue.

 

Saw's speech to Wilmon.
There are better speeches, but damn, I love his speech.
"We'll be dead before the Republic comes back, and Let it run wild! at the end.

 

Rebellions are built on hope.

 

Never more than twelve.

 

Fight the empire!

 

We have friends everywhere

 

Thesis?!

 

So many iconic Partagaz lines!

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.

Calibrate your enthusiasm.

It's "bad luck, Ghorman".

 

"It's overdue, and probably doomed, and I'm too old, and I don't care anymore."

 

I saw a spider in my house this weekend and said out loud, “I think I’ll call him Syril.”

 

I was actually thinking about this line this morning. How cool that it goes full circle and Partagaz’ call that Kleya was diseased ultimately bought him down. He waited too long and the disease could no longer be contained.

 

“Let the image of professional ascendance calm your nerves.” - Partagaz to Meero

 

“They were in a brothel, which we’re not supposed to have, the expensive one, which they shouldn’t be able to afford, drinking Revnog, which we’re not supposed to allow. Both of them supposedly on the job, which is a dismissible offense. They clearly harassed a human with dark features and chose the wrong person to annoy.”

 

Funny, that's the first thing you've said that's untrue.

Its been a pleasure.

 

“People don't look down to where they should. They don't look down, they don't look past the rust. Not us though, eh? Eyes open, possibilities everywhere.” Clem to Cassian

“That’s just love. Nothing you can do about that.” Maarva to Cassian

" Rule number one: never carry anything you can't control" Luthen to Cassian

"Rule number two: build your exit on your way in" Luthen to Cassian


"It took the combined ingredients of idiocy, ineptitude,and total disengagement for this farce to have reached the full apex of incredulous disaster." Blevin to Syril

"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." Maarva to Cassian (through Brasso)

"A drop of discomfort may be the price of doing business." Davo to Mon

"Calibrate your enthusiam" Partagaz

 

My political views might be a little strong for your tastes.

 

"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." -- Kleya Marki

"Arkie has the new flavors. And we need Peezos. Don’t forget the Peezos. Peezos and Revnog. The greenie green ones. The greenie Revnog. You liked it, too. Keef? Are you listening?” -- Windi

 

We are the Ghor, the galaxy is watching.
