Padme: You're not all-powerful, Ani.
Anakin: Well, I should be.
Obi-Wan: Your clones are very impressive. You must be very proud.
Jango Fett: I'm just a simple man, trying to make my way in the universe.
Jango Fett: Do you like your army?
Obi-Wan: I look forward to seeing them in action.
Jango Fett: They'll do their job well. I'll guarantee that.
Jango Fett: Always a pleasure to meet a Jedi.
Elan Sleazebaggano: You wanna buy some death sticks?
Obi-Wan: [using the Jedi mind trick] You don't want to sell me death sticks.
Elan Sleazebaggano: I don't want to sell you death sticks.
Obi-Wan: You want to go home and rethink your life.
Elan Sleazebaggano: I want to go home and rethink my life.
Palpatine: Master Jedi, may I suggest the Senator be placed under the protection of your graces.
Sen. Bail Organa: You really think that is a wise decision during these stressful times?
Padme: Chancellor, if I may comment, I do not believe...
Palpatine: The situation is that serious? Oh, but I do, Senator. I realize all too well that additional security might be disruptive for you, but... perhaps someone you're familiar with. An old friend, like... Master Kenobi.
Obi-Wan: Anakin, may the force be with you.
Anakin: May the force be with you, Master.
Yoda: Senator Amidala, your tragedy on the landing platform, terrible. Seeing you alive brings warm feelings to my heart.
Yoda: But for certain, Senator, in grave danger you are.
Anakin: We will find out who's trying to kill you, Padmé. I promise you.
Obi-Wan: You're using her as bait.
Anakin: It was her idea. Don't worry, no harm will come to her. I can sense everything that's going on in that room. Trust me.
Obi-Wan: You have made a commitment to the Jedi order, a commitment not easily broken.
Obi-Wan: Anakin, how many times have I told you to stay away from the power couplings.
Obi-Wan: Where are you going? He went that way!
Anakin: Master, if we keep this chase going any longer that creep is gonna end up deep fried. And personally, I'd very much like to find out who he is, and who he's working for. This is a short cut... I think.
Obi-Wan: Well, you've lost him!
Anakin: She went into the club, master.
Obi-Wan: Patience. Use the force. Think.
Yoda: Track down this bounty hunter, you must, Obi-Wan.
Mace Windu: Anakin, escort the Senator back to her planet of Naboo. She'll be safter there. And don't use registered transport. Travel as refugees.
Yoda: Until caught this killer is, our judgment she must respect.
Yoda: The council is confident in its decision, Obi-Wan.
Mace Windu: The boy has exceptional skills.
Obi-Wan: But he still has much to learn, Master. His abilities have made him... well arrogant.
Yoda: Yes. Yes. A flaw more and more common among Jedi. Too sure of themselves they are. Even the older, more experienced ones.
Obi-Wan: Anakin, don't do anything without consulting either myself or the Council.
Anakin: Attachment is forbidden. Possession is forbidden. Compassion, which I would define as unconditional love, is essential to a Jedi's life. So you might say, that we are encouraged to love.
Yoda: Dangerous and disturbing this puzzle is. Only a Jedi could have erased those files. But who, and why, harder to answer. Meditate on this I will.
Anakin: It doesn't have to be that way. We could keep it a secret.
Padme: We'd be living a lie. One we couldn't keep, even if we wanted to. I couldn't do that. Could you, Anakin? Could you live like that?
Yoda: Do not assume anything Obi-Wan. Clear your mind must be if you are to discover the real villains behind this plot.
Yoda: Bring him here. Question him we will.
Mas Amedda: This is a crisis. The Senate must vote to give the chancellor emergency powers. He can then approve the creation of an army without a vote.
Palpatine: But what senator would have the courage to propose such a radical amendment?
Mas Amedda: If only Senator Amidala where here.
Yoda: Around the survivors a perimeter create.
Yoda: If Dooku escapes, rally more systems to his cause we will.
Yoda: Concentrate all your fire on the nearest starship.
Count Dooku: The force is with us, Master Sidious.
Darth Sidious: Welcome home Lord Tyranus. You have done well.
Padme: I do not like this idea of hiding.
Anakin: Sometimes we must do what is requested of us.
Padme: Do you have any idea who's behind these attacks?
Anakin: I've heard this lesson before.
Obi-Wan: You haven't learned anything, Anakin.
Anakin: Someday I will be the most powerful Jedi ever.
Anakin: Excuse me, I'm in charge of security here, milady.
Jango Fett: We must stop them before they're ready.
Mace Windu: Protect the senator at all costs.
[Assassin Zam Wesell meets her employer, Jango Fett, outside in a back alley on Coruscant]
Zam Wesell: I hit the ship, but they used a decoy.
Jango Fett: We'll have to try something more subtle this time, Zam. My client is getting impatient. Take these...
[Jango gives Zam a container of venomous Kouhons]
Jango Fett: Be careful. They're very poisonous.
[as Zam starts to leave]
Jango Fett: Zam, there can be no mistakes this time!
[after Obi-Wan injures Zam inside the Night Club, Anakin and Obi-Wan drag her out into the alley to interrogate her]
Obi-Wan: Do you know who it was you were trying to kill?
Zam Wesell: It was a Senator from Naboo.
Obi-Wan: And who hired you?
Zam Wesell: It was just a job.
Anakin: Who hired you? Tell us.
[Zam stays silent; Anakin raises his tone with anger]
Anakin: Tell us now!
Zam Wesell: It was a bounty hunter called...
[Zam is suddenly shot in the neck by a toxic dart; Anakin and Obi-Wan see a "rocket-man" take off and fly away, and Zam dies]
Padme: You'll be fine.
DormÈ: It's not me, M'lady. I'm worried about you. What if they realize you left the capital?
Padme: [regarding Anakin] Well, then my Jedi protector will have to prove how good he is.
Obi-Wan: I was beginning to wonder if you'd got my message.
Anakin: I retransmitted it to Coruscant, just as you'd requested, Master. Then we decided to come and rescue you.
Obi-Wan: [looks at his handcuffed hands] Good job.
C-3PO: I've had the most peculiar dream.
Yoda: Mmm. Lost a planet, Master Obi-Wan has. How embarrassing. How embarrassing.
Yoda: Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is.
Obi-Wan: Why do I get the feeling you're going to be the death of me?
Anakin: Don't say that, master. You're the closest thing I have to a father.
Anakin: You're the closest thing I have to a father.
Obi-Wan: Then why don't you listen to me?
Palpatine: You don't need guidance, Anakin. In time, you will learn to trust your feelings. Then, you will be invincible. I have said it many times, you are the most gifted Jedi I have ever met.
Anakin: Thank you, Your Excellency.
Palpatine: I see you becoming the greatest of all the Jedi, Anakin. Even more powerful than Master Yoda.
[last lines]
Obi-Wan: I have to admit that without the clones, it would have not been a victory.
Yoda: Victory? Victory you say? Master Obi-Wan, not victory. The shroud of the dark side has fallen. Begun the Clone War has.
Anakin: When I'm around you, my mind is no longer my own.
Mace Windu: This party's over.
Anakin: I killed them. I killed them all. They're dead, every single one of them. And not just the men, but the women and the children, too. They're like animals, and I slaughtered them like animals. I HATE THEM!
Obi-Wan: Just relax, concentrate.
Anakin: What about Padme?
Obi-Wan: She seems to be on top of things.
Anakin: I wasn't strong enough to save you mom. I wasn't strong enough, but I promise I won't fail again.
[R2-D2 is pulling C-3PO's head back towards his body]
C-3PO: This is such a drag.
[his head is placed next to his body]
C-3PO: I'm quite beside myself.
Obi-Wan: Blast. This is why I hate flying.
[In the speeder, while chasing the assassin]
Obi-Wan: You know I don't like it when you do that.
Anakin: Sorry, master. I forgot that you don't like flying.
Obi-Wan: I don't mind flying, but what you're doing is suicide.
Anakin: You're going to pay for all the Jedi that you killed today, Dooku.
Obi-Wan: We'll take him together. You go in slowly on the left...
Anakin: No, I'm taking him NOW!
Obi-Wan: No Anakin, NO!
Count Dooku: That was brave, boy, but foolish. I would have thought you'd have learned your lesson.
Anakin: I'm a slow learner.
Nute Gunray: She can't do that! Shoot her or something!
Padme: We live in a real world, Annie. Come back to it.
Anakin: If you are suffering as much as I am, please tell me.
Padme: I can't... We can't... It's not possible.
Anakin: Anything is possible, Padme, listen to me.
Padme: No you listen! We live in a real world, come back to it. You're studying to become a Jedi, I'm... I'm a senator. If you follow your thoughts through to conclusion, it will take us to a place we cannot go, regardless of the way we feel about each other.
Anakin: Then you do feel something!
Padme: I will not let you give up your future for me.
Anakin: You're asking me to be rational. That is something that I know I cannot do. Believe me, I wish I could just wish away my feelings, but I can't.
Yoda: Clear your mind must be, if you are to discover the real villains behind this plot.
Anakin: I've got a bad feeling about this.
C-3PO: Master Owen, may I present two most important visitors?
Anakin: I'm Anakin Skywalker.
Owen Lars: [intrigued, but wary, tone] Owen Lars. This is my girlfriend, Beru.
Beru: Hello.
Padme: I'm Padme.
Owen Lars: Well... I guess I'm your stepbrother. I had a feeling you might show up someday.
Anakin: Is my mother here?
[a one-legged Cliegg Lars appears]
Cliegg Lars: No, she's not. Cliegg Lars. Shmi is my wife. Come inside, we've got a lot to talk about.
Anakin: If you'll excuse me Master.
[Anakin jumps out of the speeder]
Obi-Wan: I hate it when he does that.
Padme: Please don't look at me like that.
Anakin: Why not?
Padme: Because it makes me feel uncomfortable.
Anakin: Sorry my lady.
Palpatine: I will not let this Republic, which has stood for a thousand years, be split in two. My negotiations will not fail.
Mace Windu: If they do, you must realize there aren't enough Jedi to protect the Republic. We're keepers of the peace, not soldiers.
Count Dooku: Brave, but, foolish, my old Jedi friend. You are impossibly outnumbered.
Mace Windu: I don't think so.
Count Dooku: We'll see.
Obi-Wan: Be mindful of your thoughts Anakin. They'll betray you.
Anakin: It's all Obi-Wan's fault. He's jealous. He's holding me back.
[first title cards]
Title card/crawl:: A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
Title card/crawl:: There is unrest in the Galactic Senate. Several thousand solar systems have declared their intentions to leave the Republic. This separatist movement, under the leadership of the mysterious Count Dooku, has made it difficult for the limited number of Jedi Knights to maintain peace and order in the galaxy. Senator Amidala, the former Queen of Naboo, is returning to the Galactic Senate to vote on the critical issue of creating an ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC to assist the overwhelmed Jedi...
Padme: It must be difficult having sworn your life to the Jedi... not being able to visit the places you like... or do the things you like.
Anakin: Or be with the people I love.
Padme: Are you allowed to love? I thought that was forbidden for a Jedi.
[Anakin and Padme are about to be carted into the arena]
Anakin: Don't be afraid.
Padme: I'm not afraid to die. I've been dying a little bit each day since you came back into my life.
Anakin: What are you talking about?
Padme: I love you.
Anakin: You love me? I thought we had decided not to fall in love. That we'd be forced to live a lie and that it would destroy our lives.
Padme: I think our lives are about to be destroyed anyway. I truly... deeply... love you and before we die I want you to know.
Obi-Wan: What took you so long?
Anakin: Well, you know, Master, I couldn't find a speeder that I really liked...
Obi-Wan: There he is.
Anakin: ...with an open cockpit and the right speed capabilities.
Obi-Wan: If you spent as much time practicing your saber techniques as you did your wit, you'd rival Master Yoda as a swordsman.
Anakin: I thought I already did.
Obi-Wan: Only in your mind, my very young apprentice.
Count Dooku: It is obvious that this contest cannot be decided by our knowledge of the Force... but by our skills with a lightsaber.
Anakin: I'm a Jedi.
Watto: A Jedi. Whaddya know?
Count Dooku: May I ask why a Jedi Knight is all the way out here on Geonosis?
Obi-Wan: I'm tracking a bounty hunter named Jango Fett. Do you know him?
Count Dooku: There are no bounty hunters here that I am aware of. The Geonosians don't trust them.
Anakin: When I got to them we got into aggressive negotiations.
Padme: Aggressive negotiations? What's that?
Anakin: Ah, well, it's negotiations with a lightsaber.
[With head stuck on a battle droid's body]
C-3PO: DIE, Jedi dogs. Oh... what did I say?
[Anakin's lightsaber is broken in half]
Anakin: Not again. Obi-Wan's going to kill me.
[Anakin uses his Force levitation to slice a fruit for Padme]
Anakin: If Obi-Wan caught me doing that, he would be very grumpy.
Anakin: From the moment I met you, all those years ago, not a day has gone by when I haven't thought of you. And now that I'm with you again... I'm in agony. The closer I get to you, the worse it gets. The thought of not being with you- I can't breath. I'm haunted by the kiss that you should never have given me. My heart is beating... hoping that kiss will not become a scar. You are in my very soul, tormenting me... what can I do?- I will do anything you ask.
[uncomfortable pause]
Anakin: ... if you are suffering as much as I am, PLEASE, tell me.
Anakin: [about Amidala] Just being around her again is... intoxicating.
Padme: We'd be living a lie. I couldn't do that. Could you Ani?
Yoda: Blind we are, of creation of this clone army we could not see.
Mace Windu: I think it is time we inform the senate that our ability to use the force has diminished.
Yoda: Only a Dark Lord of the Sith knows of our weakness. If informed the senate is, multiply our adversaries will.
[observing the battle droid assembly line]
C-3PO: Oh my goodness! Shut me down. Machines building machines. How perverse.
Padme: All mentors have a way of seeing more of our faults than we would like. It's the only way we grow.
Padme: Sometimes there are things no one can fix.
Padme: Ani? My goodness, you've grown.
Anakin: So have you, grown more beautiful... for a senator, I mean.
Padme: Ani, you'll always be that little boy I knew on Tatooine.
C-3PO: He says he has a message from an Obi-Wan Kenobi, Master Anakin. Do you know what he's talking about?
[as he realizes the man he just pushed off a building is still attached to him]
Obi-Wan: Oh, not good.
[to Pademe]
Anakin: Oh don't worry, I've given up trying to argue with you.
Obi-Wan: They are using a bounty hunter named Jango Fett to create a clone army.
[thinking Obi-Wan's starfighter has been destroyed]
Jango Fett: Well, we won't be seeing him again.
Boba Fett: [laughs] Yeah.
Count Dooku: Master Windu, you have fought gallantly. Worthy of recognition in the archives of the Jedi Order. Now... it is finished.
[to Obi-Wan]
Count Dooku: As you can see, my Jedi powers are far beyond yours. Now, back down.
[shoots Sith lighting at Obi-Wan who blocks it with his lightsaber]
Obi-Wan: I don't think so.
Palpatine: Master Yoda. Do you really think it will come to war?
Yoda: The dark side clouds everything. Impossible to see the future is.
Yoda: To the forward command center take me.
C-3PO: What's all this? A battle? There must be some mistake! I'm programmed for etiquette, not destruction!
Yoda: Powerful you have become Dooku, the dark side I sense in you.
Count Dooku: I have become more powerful than any Jedi. Even you.
[Dooku shoots Sith lighting at Yoda who effortlessly deflects it away]
Yoda: Much to learn, you still have.
Anakin: Jedi business. Go back to your drinks.
Count Dooku: Geonosians don't trust bounty hunters.
Obi-Wan: Well, who can blame them?
Anakin: One day, I will become the greatest Jedi EVER. I will even learn how to stop people from dying.
Padme: We used to come here for school retreat. We would swim to that island every day. I love the water. We used to lie out on the sand and let the sun dry us and try to guess the names of the birds singing.
Anakin: I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything is soft and smooth.
Obi-Wan: You're sweating.
Count Dooku: You must join me, Obi-Wan, and together we will destroy the Sith!
Obi-Wan: I will never join you.
Padme: To be angry is to be human.
Anakin: I'm a Jedi. I can be better than this.
Mace Windu: What is it?
Yoda: Pain, suffering, death I feel. Something terrible has happened. Young Skywalker is in pain. Terrible pain.
Anakin: You call this a diplomatic solution?
Padme: No, I call it an aggressive negotiation.
C-3PO: For a mechanic, you seem to do an incessant amount of thinking.
Count Dooku: What if I told you that the Republic was now under the control of a dark lord of the Sith?
Obi-Wan: No, that's not possible. The Jedi would sense it.
Count Dooku: The Dark Side has clouded their vision. Hundreds of senators are now under the influence of a Sith lord called Darth Sidious.
Obi-Wan: I don't believe you.
Count Dooku: I have good news for you, my lord. War has begun.
Darth Sidious: Excellent. Everything is going as planned.
Anakin: You're asking me to be rational. I know that is something I cannot do.
[Padme says that she believes Count Dooku is behind the attacks on her life]
Ki-Adi-Mundi: He is a political idealist, not a murderer.
Mace Windu: You know, m'lady, that Count Dooku was once a Jedi. He couldn't assassinate anyone. It's not in his character.
Jar Jar Binks: Senators. Dellow feligates...
Obi-Wan: I will never join you, Dooku.
Count Dooku: It may be difficult to secure your release.
Obi-Wan: Well that's Anakin's tracking signal, all right. But it's coming from Tatooine. What the blazes is he doing there? I told him to stay on Naboo.
[while pursuing Count Dooku, a laserblast knocks Padme out of the gunship]
Anakin: PADME!
[to pilot]
Anakin: Put the ship down!
Obi-Wan: Anakin! Don't let your personal feelings get in the way!
[to pilot]
Obi-Wan: Follow that speeder.
Anakin: Lower the ship!
Obi-Wan: I can't take Dooku alone! I need you! If we catch him, we can end this war right now! We have a job to do!
Anakin: I don't care! Put the ship down!
Obi-Wan: You will be expelled from the Jedi order!
Anakin: I CAN'T LEAVE HER!
Obi-Wan: COME TO YOUR SENSES! What do you think Padme would do were she in your position?
Anakin: [pause] She would do her duty.
Obi-Wan: And don't forget, she's a politician, and they're *not* to be trusted.
Obi-Wan: These Kaminos, are they friendly?
Dexter Jettster: That depends.
Obi-Wan: Depends on what Dex?
Dexter Jettster: On how well your manners are, and how big your pocketbook is.
Obi-Wan: I hope he doesn't try anything foolish.
Captain Typho: I'd be more concerned about *her* doing something than him.
Dexter Jettster: This baby belongs to them cloners. What you got here is a Kamino Saberdart.
Obi-Wan: I wonder why it didn't show up in the analysis archives.
Dexter Jettster: It's these funny little cuts on the side that give it away. Those analysis droids only focus on symbols. Huh! I should think that you Jedi would have more respect for the difference between knowledge and... heh heh heh... wisdom.
Obi-Wan: Well if droids could think, there'd be none of us here, would there?
Queen Jamillia: We have to keep out faith in the Republic. The day we stop believing democracy can work is the day we lose it.
Padme: Let's pray that day never comes.
Palpatine: And as my first act with this new authority, I will create a grand army of the Republic to counter the increasing threats of the Separatists.
Jango Fett: [points his gun at Anakin] Don't move, Jedi. Take him away!
Mace Windu: We will not be hostages to be bartered, Dooku.
Palpatine: It is with great reluctance that I have agreed to this calling. I love democracy. I love the Republic. Once this crisis has abated, I will lay down the powers you have given me!
Padme: You're making fun of me!
Anakin: Oh, no, I'd be too frightened to tease a senator!
Anakin: Mem boshka de Shmi Skywalker.
[I'm looking for Shmi Skywalker]
Watto: Annie? Little Annie? It is you!
[first lines]
Naboo lieutenant: Senator, we're making our final approach into Coruscant.
CordÈ: Very good, Lieutenant.
Gov. Sio Bibble: It's outrageous! After four trials in the Supreme Court, Nute Gunray is still the viceroy of the Trade Federation! I feel the Senate is powerless to resolve this crisis.
[Jango Fett is trying to destroy Obi-wan's ship]
Boba Fett: Get him, Dad, get him. Fire!
[Cliegg Lars is telling Anakin about what happened to Shmi]
Cliegg Lars: It was just before dawn. They came out of nowhere. A hunting party of Tusken Raiders. Your mother had gone out early, like she always did, to pick mushrooms that grow on the vaporators. From the tracks, she was about halfway home when they took her. Those Tuskens walk like men, but they're vicious, mindless monsters. Thirty of us went out after her. Four of us came back. I'd be with them, only... after I lost my leg I just couldn't ride any more... until I heal. I don't want to give up on her, but she's been gone a month. There's little hope she's lasted this long.
[Anakin gets up from the table]
Owen Lars: Where are you going?
Anakin: To find my mother.
Cliegg Lars: Your mother's dead, son. Accept it.
Yoda: Fought well you have, my old Padawan
Count Dooku: This is just the beginnig!
Count Dooku: Master Kenobi, you disappoint me. Yoda holds you in such high esteem. Surely you can do better!
Padme: If the Senate votes to create an army, I'm sure it's going to push us into a civil war.
Gov. Sio Bibble: It's unthinkable! There hasn't been a full-scale war since the formation of the Republic!
Queen Jamillia: Do you seen any way to bring the Seperatists back into the Republic through negotations?
Padme: Not if they feel threatened. My guess is that they will turn to the Trade Federation or even the Commerce Guilds for help.
Gov. Sio Bibble: It's hard to belive that after four trials in the Supreme Court, Nute Gunray is still the viceroy of the Trade Federation. I feel that the senate is powerless to prevent this crisis from getting any further.
Obi-Wan: [returning Anakin's lightsaber] This weapon is your life.
C-3PO: [to Anakin] The maker has returned!
Nute Gunray: This is not looking good at all!
Gilramos Libkath: We must get the starships back into space!
Obi-Wan: Do you believe what Dooku said about this 'Darth Sidious' controlling the senate? It doesn't feel right.
Yoda: Joined the Dark Side Dooku has. Lies, deceit, creating mistrust are his ways now.
Obi-Wan: You look tired.
Anakin: I haven't had much sleep of late.
Obi-Wan: Because of your mother?
[Anakin nods]
Obi-Wan: ...Dreams pass in time.
Obi-Wan: It's a great pleasure to see you again, milady.
Padme: It has been far too long, Master Kenobi. Ani? My goodness you've grown.
Anakin: So have you. Grown more beautiful, I mean. Well, for a Senator I mean.
C-3PO: I'm programmed for etiquette, not destruction!
Obi-Wan: Ever make your way as far into the interior as Coruscant?
Jango Fett: Once or twice.
Obi-Wan: Recently?
Jango Fett: Possibly.
