Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones quotes

View Quote Anakin Skywalker: 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 breathe. 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. [pause] If you are suffering as much as I am, please, tell me.
Padme Amidala: I can't... We can't... It's not possible.
Anakin Skywalker: Anything is possible, Padme, listen to me.
Padme Amidala: 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 a conclusion, it will take us to a place we cannot go, regardless of the way we feel about each other.
Anakin Skywalker: Then you do feel something!
Padme Amidala: I will not let you give up your future for me.
Anakin Skywalker: You're asking me to be rational. That is something I know I cannot do. Believe me, I wish I could just wish away my feelings, but I can't.

View Quote Anakin Skywalker: If you'll excuse me, Master. [jumps off their hovering speeder]
Obi-Wan Kenobi: I hate it when he does that.

View Quote Anakin Skywalker: Padm?! [to pilot] Put the ship down!
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Anakin! Don't let your personal feelings get in the way! [to pilot] Follow that speeder.
Anakin Skywalker: [to pilot] Lower the ship!
Obi-Wan Kenobi: 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 Skywalker: I don't care! [to pilot] Put the ship down!
Obi-Wan Kenobi: YOU WILL BE EXPELLED FROM THE JEDI ORDER!
Anakin Skywalker: I CAN'T LEAVE HER!
Obi-Wan Kenobi: COME TO YOUR SENSES! What do you think Padm? would do were she in your position?
Anakin Skywalker: [resigned] She would do her duty.

View Quote Anakin Skywalker: You call this a diplomatic solution?
Padm? Amidala: No, I call it aggressive negotiations.

View Quote Anakin Skywalker: You're going to pay for all the Jedi that you killed today, Dooku.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: We'll take him together. You go in slowly on the left...
Anakin Skywalker: No, I'm taking him now!
Obi-Wan Kenobi: No, Anakin, NO!
[Dooku easily defeats Anakin, using Force Lightning]
Count Dooku: As you can see, my Jedi powers are far beyond yours. Now, back down.
[He uses Force Lightning on Kenobi, who absorbs it with his lightsaber]
Obi-Wan Kenobi: I don't think so.
[They both draw their lightsabers and duel; Dooku seems to have the upper hand]
Count Dooku: Master Kenobi, you disappoint me. Yoda holds you in such high esteem. Surely you can do better!

View Quote Chancellor Palpatine: I don't know how much longer I can hold off the vote, my friends. More and more star systems are joining the Separatists.
Mace Windu: If they do break away.
Chancellor Palpatine: I will not let this Republic that has stood for a thousand years be split in two. My negotiations will not fail.
Mace Windu: If they do, you must realize that there aren't enough Jedi to protect the Republic. We're keepers of the peace, not soldiers.
Chancellor Palpatine: Master Yoda, do you really think it will come to war?
Yoda: Hmmm. The Dark Side clouds everything; impossible to see the future is.
[hologram shows Rodian]
Rodian: [in Rodian language] The Loyalist Committee has arrived, Your Honor.
Chancellor Palpatine: Good.
Rodian: [says something else]
Chancellor Palpatine: Send them in. [as Committee enters] We will discuss this matter later.
Yoda: Senator Amidala! Your tragedy on the landing platform, terrible. Seeing you alive brings warm feeling to my heart.
Padmè Amidala: Do you have any idea who's behind this attack?
Mace Windu: Our intelligence point to disgruntled spice miners on the moons of Naboo
Padmè Amidala: I think that Count Dooku is behind it.
Ki-Ali-Mundi: He is a political idealist, not a murderer.
Mace Windu: You know, milady, Count Dooku was once a Jedi. He couldn't assassinate anyone; it's not in his character.
Yoda: But for certain, Senator, in grave danger you are.
Chancellor Palpatine: Master Jedi, may I suggest that the Senator be placed under the protection of your graces?
Bail Organa: You really think that is a wise decision during these stressful times.
Padmè Amidala: Chancellor, if I may comment, I do not believe-
Chancellor 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.
Mace Windu: That's possible. He's just returned from a border dispute on Ansion.
Chancellor Palpatine: Do it for me, milady, please. The thought of losing you... is unbearable.
Mace Windu: I will have Obi-Wan report to you immediately.
Padmè Amidala: Thank you, Master Windu.

View Quote Chancellor 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 Skywalker: Thank you, Your Excellency.
Chancellor Palpatine: I see you becoming the greatest of all the Jedi, Anakin. Even more powerful than Master Yoda.

View Quote Count Dooku: Brave of you, boy. But I would have thought you'd learned your lesson.
Anakin Skywalker: I am a slow learner.

View Quote Count Dooku: Master Windu, how pleasant of you to join us.
Mace Windu: This party's over.
Count Dooku: Brave, but foolish, my old Jedi friend. You're impossibly outnumbered.
Mace Windu: I don't think so.
Count Dooku: We'll see.

View Quote Count Dooku: Master Yoda.
Master Yoda: Count Dooku.
Count Dooku: You have interfered with our affairs for the last time.
[As Dooku fails to kill Yoda using Force-thrown objects (due to Yoda deflecting them with equally-strong use of the Force)]
Master 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.
[As Dooku emits Force lightning, Yoda absorbs it with his hand and deflects it back to Dooku who also deflects it away from him. He tries again, but Yoda absorbs the lightning again, this time extinguishing it.]
Master Yoda: Much to learn, you still have.
Count Dooku: It is obvious that this contest cannot be decided by our knowledge of the Force, but by our skills with a lightsaber.

View Quote Count Dooku: The Force is with us, Master Sidious.
Darth Sidious: Welcome home, Lord Tyrannus. You have done well.
Count Dooku: I have good news for you, my lord. The war has begun.
Darth Sidious: Excellent. [smilingly] Everything is going as planned...

View Quote Elan Sleazebaggano: Wanna buy some death sticks?
Obi-Wan Kenobi: [using a Jedi Mind trick] You don't want to sell me death sticks.
Elan Sleazebaggano: I don't wanna sell you death sticks.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: You want to go home and re-think your life.
Elan Sleazebaggano: I wanna go home and re-think my life... [leaves]

View Quote Mace Windu: What is it?
Master Yoda: Pain, suffering, death I feel. Something terrible has happened. Young Skywalker is in pain. Terrible pain.

View Quote Master Yoda: Fought well, you have... my old Padawan.
Count Dooku: This is just the beginning!

View Quote Obi-Wan Kenobi: Do you believe what Count Dooku said about Sidious controlling the Senate? It doesn't feel right.
Master Yoda: Joined the Dark Side, Dooku has. Lies, deceit, creating mistrust are his ways now.
Mace Windu: Nevertheless, I think we should keep a closer eye on the Senate.
Master Yoda: I agree.
Mace Windu: Where is your apprentice?
Obi-Wan Kenobi: On his way to Naboo, escorting Senator Amidala home. I must admit that without the clones, it would not have been victory.
Master Yoda: Victory? Victory you say? Master Obi-Wan, not victory. The shroud of the dark side has fallen. Begun the Clone War has!
