Quotes

Watto : How's-a you gonna pay for all this, eh?
Qui-Gon Jinn : I have twenty thousand Republic dataries.
Watto : Republic credits? Republic credits are no good out here, I need something more real.
Qui-Gon Jinn : I don't have anything else...
[waves hand]
Qui-Gon Jinn : But credits will do fine.
Watto : No, they won't-a.
Qui-Gon Jinn : [waves his hand more firmly] Credits *will* do fine.
Watto : No, they won't-a! What, you think you're some kind of Jedi, waving your hand around like that? I'm a Toydarian. Mind tricks don't-a work on-a me. Only money. No money, no parts, no deal!
-
Qui-Gon Jinn : I have... acquired a pod in a game of chance. The fastest ever built.
Watto : I hope you didn't kill anyone I know for it.
-
Watto : I want to see your spaceship the moment the race is over.
Qui-Gon Jinn : Patience, my blue friend.
-
Watto : [to Anakin] Better stop your friend's betting or I'll end up owning him, too.
-
Watto : I am betting heavily on Sebulba.
Qui-Gon Jinn : I'll take that bet.
Watto : You what?
Qui-Gon Jinn : I'll wager my new racing pod against, say... the boy and his mother.
Watto : No pod is worth two slaves, not by a long shot.
Qui-Gon Jinn : The boy, then.
Watto : Hmm. Well... we'll let fate decide, hmm?
[taking a colored die out of his satchel]
Watto : I just happen to have a chance cube here. Blue, it's the boy. Red... his mother.
[he throws it, and Qui-Gon subtly uses the Force to manipulate it blue-face up]
Watto : You won this small toss, outlander, but you won't win the race! So it makes little difference!
-
Watto : So, you supply the pod and the entry fee, I supply the boy. We split the winnings, um, 50/50, I think, huh?
Qui-Gon Jinn : If it's going to be 50/50, I suggest you front the cash for the entry. If we win, you keep all the winnings, minus the cost of the parts I need. And if we lose, you keep my ship. Either way, you win.
Watto : [thinking it over] Deal!
[to Anakin in Huttese, as Qui-Gon leaves]
Watto : Your friend is a foolish one, methinks.
-
Watto : The boy tells me you want to sponsor him in the race. How can you do this? Not on Republic credits, I think, huh?
Qui-Gon Jinn : [turning on a hand-held hologram] My ship will be the entry fee.
Watto : Oh, not bad! Not bad, huh? A Nubian, huh?
Qui-Gon Jinn : It's in good order, except for the parts I need.
Watto : What would the boy ride? He smashed up my pod in last race. It will take some long time to fix it, huh?
Anakin : It wasn't my fault, really. Sebulba flashed me with his vents. I actually saved the pod, mostly.
Watto : Mmm. That you did, huh? The boy's good. No doubts there, huh?
-
Watto : He's a credit to your race.
-
Watto : You! You swindled me! I lost everything.
Qui-Gon Jinn : Whenever you gamble eventually you lose.
