Padme Amidala

"Wake up Senators you must wake up! If we offer the separatists violence, they can only show violence in return! Many will lose their lives, and all will lose their freedom. This decision could well destroy the very foundation of our great Republic! I pray you do not let fear push you into a disastrous decision. Vote down this security measure, which is nothing less..than a declaration of war! Does anyone here want that? I can not believe they do."

"Ani, you'll always be that little boy I knew on Tatooine."

"I don't need more security, I need answers. I want to know who's trying to kill me."

"Our Mentors have a way of seeing more of our faults then we would like..it's the only way we grow."

"Please don't look at me like that."

"I will be most grateful for your speed Master Jedi."

"Then my Jedi Protector will have to prove how good he is."

"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."

"But for the most part, my ascent was because of my conviction that reform was possible. The people of Naboo embraced that dream of wholeheartedly, so much so that my age was hardly an issue in the campaign. I wasn't the youngest Queen ever elected, but now that I think back on it, I'm not sure I was old enough. I'm not sure I was ready."

"Popular rule is not democracy Anakin. It gives the people what they want, not what they need. And truthfully, I was relieved when my two terms were up. So were my parents! They worried about me during the blockade and couldn't wait for it all to be over. Actually I was hoping to have a family by now..."

"Sola! He isn't my boyfriend, He's a Jedi assigned by the Senate to protect me."

"Anakin and I are friends, our relationship is strictly professional."

"Are you going to use one of your Jedi-Mind-Tricks on me?"

"That's exactly what we do, the trouble is the People don't always agree."

"You're studying to become a Jedi, I'm..I'm a Senator.."

"Then 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?"

"Sometimes there are things no one can fix."

"He's your friend, your mentor.."

"He gave you strict orders to protect me, and I'm going to help Obi-Wan. So if you plan to protect me, you'll just have to come along."

"Look, if anything happens out there, just follow my lead..I'm not interested in getting into a war here..."

"No, I call it agressive Negotiations.."

"I truly, deeply, love you..and before we die I want you to know."





Anakin Skywalker

"You fell into that nightmare, Master. And I rescued you, Remember?"

"We will find out who's trying to kill you, Padmé. I promise you."

"Just being around her again is... intoxicating.."

"Sometimes we have to let go of our pride, and do what is requested of us."

"Don't say that, Master. You're the closest thing I have to a father."

"This is my first assignment on my own, I am too...Don´t worry, we have R2 with us."

"Attachment is forbidden. Posession is also forbidden. Compassion, which I would define as unconditional love, is central to a Jedi´s life. So you might say, that we are encouraged to love.."

"Well tell me did you dream of power and politics when you were a little girl?"

"When I started my training I was very homesick and very lonely. This city and my mom were the only pleasant things I had to think about."

"The people you served thought you did a good job. I heard they tried to amen the constitution so that you could stay in office."

"I agree, I think the Replublic needs you. I'm glad you chose to serve - I feel things are going to happen in our generation that will change the galacy in the profound ways."

"I´m here in charge of Security, my lady!"

"Sometimes when you believe something to be real, it becomes real."

"I don´t think, that the system works. We need the system, where politicians sit down and disguss the problem, agree what's in the best interests of the people, and do it."

"They work only on the weak minded."

"No, no.. I would be much frightened to tease a Senator!"

"From the moment I met you, all those years ago, a day hasn't 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 makes me dizzy! I can't breathe! I'm haunted by the kiss you never should have given me. My heart is beating, hoping that kiss will not become a scar."

"You are asking me to be rational, that is something I know I can not do. Believe me, I wish I could just wish my feelings away. But I can´t!"

"No. You are right…It would destroy us."

"Don't go, your presence is soothing."

"Jedi don't have nightmares."

"I left Tatooine so long ago. My memory of her is fading, I don't want to lose that memory. I don't want to stop seeing her face."

"I wasn't strong enough to save you, Mom. I wasn't strong enough... but I promise, I won't fail again. I miss you... so much..."

"Don't worry. I've given up trying to argue with you."

"Someday, I will be the most powerful Jedi ever!"

"I am a slow learner."
