Star Wars: The Clone Wars (season 4)

The following is a list of quotes from the fourth season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

Water War [4.01]

When destiny calls, the chosen have no choice.

Nossor Ri: Your aqua droids are no match for the Mon Calamari. What makes you think these secret weapons you brought from your homeworld will fare any better?

Riff Tamson: They are half machine, half monster. We call them Hydroid Medusas. They are invincible.

Captain Ackbar: Soldiers of Mon Calamari, this is your home! Do not let it fall! [troops rally and charge]

[Anakin loses a helmet underwater and can't breathe]

Ahsoka Tano: You called for backup? [returns his helmet to him]

Anakin Skywalker: I had it under control, Snips.

Ahsoka Tano: Ha! I knew you'd say that.

Captain Ackbar: Your father would be proud of you.

Prince Lee-Char: Proud?! We lost!

Captain Ackbar: Today, you learned the hardest lesson a commander can learn: how to live to fight another day.

Gungan Attack [4.02]

Only through fire is a strong sword forged.

Count Dooku: The whispering of his name can rekindle hope, and hope is something we cannot allow our enemy to possess.

Padmé: There's a lot of enemy troops between us and the surface.

Anakin: It's no problem. I just hope you're a fast swimmer.

Padmé: Says the boy from the desert planet.

Ahsoka Tano: You don't have to carry a sword to be powerful. Some leaders' strength is inspiring greatness in others.

Prisoners [4.03]

Crowns are inherited, kingdoms are earned.

Riff Tamson: There's plenty of suffering to go around.

Mon Calamari and Quarren: Long live the King! Long live King Lee-Char!

Riff Tamson: Yes?

Aqua droid: [on comlink] We have located the Prince and have him in custody. He has requested an audience with the leadership.

Riff Tamson: By all means, bring him to me. I shall meet you in the throne room.

Aqua droid: Roger, roger. [signs off]

Nossor Ri: The throne room?

Riff Tamson: Yes. I want that little one to see me in my rightful place as ruler of this world.

Nossor Ri: Ruler?! That was not our arrangement with Count Dooku!

Riff Tamson: No, it wasn't your arrangement. It was mine! Ha-ha-ha-ha!

Anakin Skywalker: Good job protecting the prince.

Ahsoka Tano: It's all part of the plan, Master.

Anakin Skywalker: I was hoping you were going to say that. Anything else I can do?

Ahsoka Tano: Unfortunately, this time it's out of our hands.

Anakin Skywalker: I'm not sure I like this plan after all.

Shadow Warrior [4.04]

Who a person truly is cannot be seen with the eye.

Rish Loo: Yousa get them!

[Jar Jar meets General Grievous for the first time]

Jar Jar Binks: [gasps]

General Grievous: Come in, Minister Lyonnie. Let's sit down and have a talk.

Jar Jar Binks: [gulps]

[General Grievous sits down]

Jar Jar Binks: [sits down and mumbles]

General Grievous: So...

Jar Jar Binks: So...

General Grievous: I hear you have decided not to aid our attack on the Naboo.

Jar Jar Binks: [fools around with chair] Uh, yesa...(deep voice)...uh, yesa. We must put end to [normal voice] unfortunate... [deep voice] unfortunate bang-bang conflict.

General Grievous: It was a great effort and cost for me to bring my armies here.

Jar Jar Binks: Mesa sorry that boss...(clears throat) Exqueez me. (deep voice) Mesa was receiving muy bad advice.

General Grievous: If you won't attack the Naboo, I will! (pounds fist on table)

Jar Jar Binks: Hold that thought. Gen-General Tarpals?

General Tarpals: Yesa, boss?

Jar Jar Binks: Yousa need to do that...that thing...that BIG troop thing.

General Grievous: What did you just say?

[General Tarpals turns to leave]

Jar Jar Binks: Gosa! Go! [door shuts] Mesa...[clears throat; deep voice] Mesa just telling general that wesa must make the immediate arrangements for our Gungan Separatist attack.

General Grievous: (growls)

General Grievous: (growls impatiently) What are we waiting for?

Jar Jar Binks: (deep voice) Planing attack taka time.

General Grievous: You're were a man of few words Boss Lyonnie.

Jar Jar Binks: Well, messa more of a deep thinker.

General Grievous: (growls) You are not Boss Lyonnie. (punches chair and kicks table and removes his cape) You have no idea of the power that is in my grasp.

General Grievous: Huh?

General Tarpals: Yousa army is shut down general. (knocks down droids)

General Grievous: Huh?

General Tarpals: Mesa suggest you surrender. (Gungans appear and surround Grievous in all directions)

General Grievous: [laughs evilly] You can't be serious! [activates two lightsabers]

General Grevious: [after stabing General Tarpals] How does it feel to DIE?!

General Tarpals: Not die... sacrifice. (stabs Grievous) Jar Jar, now!

Darth Sidious: This turn of events is unfortunate. General Grievous is a critical part of my plan for the Clone Wars. He must not remain captive.

Count Dooku: What is to be done, my Lord?

Darth Sidious: You must lure Skywalker into a trap, then negotiate a prisoner exchange.

Count Dooku: How can you be certain the Republic will trade Grievous for Skywalker?

Darth Sidious: I have no doubt Senator Amidala will gladly agree to your terms.

Count Dooku: You're a fool, Rish Loo. [ignites his lightsaber and stabs Rish Loo]

Anakin Skywalker: Why bring the war to Naboo?

Count Dooku: How quickly you forget, the war started here on Naboo many years ago.

Anakin Skywalker: You were a part of that first battle?

Count Dooku: The Sith control everything, you just don't know it!

Mercy Mission [4.05]

Understanding is honoring the truth beneath the surface.

C-3PO: No, Artoo, I will tell the story. No one understands you, anyway. It's only proper. I am the one who solved the riddle, I should be the one to relay the story. I will, of course, report on your individual heroics. Do you think Senator Amidala will hold...

Commander Wolffe: As soon as we rendezvous with Master Gallia, we're off-loading those two.

Sinker: I couldn't agree more, sir.

Nomad Droids [4.06]

Who's the more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?

C-3PO: We're Republic. We belong to Senator Amidala. Don't shoot, don't shoot!

Commander Wolffe: I can't believe it.

Plo Koon: You know these droids, Commander Wolffe?

Commander Wolffe: Yes, sir. We transported them to Master Gallia's ship after we left the planet Aleen.

C-3PO: Yes, Commander Wolffe. How have you been, sir? We have been on quite an adventure.

Plo Koon: Well, I'm certain Wolffe would love to hear about it.

Commander Wolffe: Uh, actually, sir--

C-3PO: Excellent! It's a long story.

Commander Wolffe: Uh--

C-3PO: And you won't believe it!

Commander Wolffe: [to Plo Koon] Sir, excuse me--

C-3PO: I hardly believe it myself! It all started when...

Darkness on Umbara [4.07]

The first step towards loyalty is trust.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Masters Krell and Tiin will be supporting my troops in the south while Anakin's battalion comes in from the north and takes out enemy reinforcements. It is imperative that we conquer the capital city as quickly as possible and hold it.

Anakin Skywalker: Our biggest problem is going to be the local militia. The Umbarans have aligned themselves with the Separatists and are heavily armed. ARC Trooper Fives will be assisting my units on special assignment.

Fives: Ready to do my part, General Skywalker.

Rex: Nice to have you onboard.

Fives: Just like old times, Rex.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Remember, Anakin, Cody and I will be 12 klicks to your south. We're counting on you to take out those local fighters, or, I'm afraid, the capital will never surrender.

Anakin Skywalker: [sighs] Does my battalion have to do everything?

Obi-Wan Kenobi: You seem to always volunteer.

Hardcase: Time to lock and load!

Dogma: All platoons are reported in, General.

Anakin Skywalker: Get some rest.

Dogma: Thank you, sir. I'm fine.

Rex: The General is giving you an order, Dogma.

Dogma: Of course, sir! (walks away)

Rex: He's wound tight, but he's loyal.

Anakin Skywalker: He kinda reminds me of you.

Rex: Maybe, back in the day.

Dogma: General Krell's here?

Fives: Something big must be going on.

Anakin Skywalker: Master Krell, my thanks for the air support.

Pong Krell: Indeed, General Skywalker. The locals have proven to be more resourceful than we anticipated.

Anakin Skywalker: But that's not the reason for your visit.

Pong Krell: No. The Council has ordered you back to Coruscant, effective immediately.

Anakin Skywalker: What? Why?

Pong Krell: I'm afraid a request was made by the Supreme Chancellor, and the Council obliged. That is all they would tell me.

Anakin Skywalker: Well, I can't just leave my men!

Pong Krell: I'll be taking over in the interim.

Rex: Don't worry about a thing, sir. We'll have the city under Republic control by the time you're back.

Anakin Skywalker: Master Krell, this is Rex, my first in command. You won't find a finer or more loyal trooper anywhere.

Pong Krell: Good to hear that. I wish you well, Skywalker.

Rex: Your reputation precedes you, General. It is an honor to be serving you.

Pong Krell: I find it very interesting, Captain, that you are able to recognize the value of honor, for a clone. Stand at attention when I address you. [Rex gets at attention] Your flattery is duly noted, but it will not be rewarded. There's a reason my command is so effective. And it's because I do things by the book. and that includes protocol. Have all platoons ready to move out immediately. That is all.

Pong Krell: Time and rest are luxuries the Republic can't afford. We are the key to this invasion. The other battalions are counting on our support! If we fail, everyone fails! Do you understand this?! (turns to Rex's troops) Do all of you understand this?! Now move on!

Tup: So, why aren't we sticking up to the original plan and probing the city defenses first?

Hardcase: We can do this. Let's take 'em!

Jesse: Yeah, leave it to Hardcase to dive in head-first.

Fives: The general's new plan is reckless.

Dogma: You ever think that maybe the general knows what he is doing?

Fives: [to Rex] I know you think this is a bad idea.

Rex: I raised my objection to General Krell's plan, but he didn't agree. So, this is it.

Fives: Well, what if he's wrong? Then what?

Rex: This isn't the time for a debate. Right now, we have to stay alert.

Tup: We're completely exposed!

Rex: Hold your ground!

Hardcase: You want a piece of this?! (kills several Umbarans)

Jesse: (after large explosion) Uh-oh! I think Hardcase made ’em mad! (an Umbaran attacks Tup, but he shoots him off)

Tup: (after another large explosion) We're blown!!

Fives: The Umbarans are advancing! (kills two Umbarans)

Hardcase: Make ‘em eat heat!

Dogma: (being overrun) They're coming from all directions!

Fives: We don't have any cover!

Rex: We need to pull back, get them to follow us. If we can draw them out, we can see them.

Jesse: If we can see them, we can hit them!

Rex: All squads, pull back now!

Tup: This can't be good.

General Krell: (after seeing his troops retreat) Feeble minded clones! (to the rest of his troops) Get in there and save their necks!

Fives: Get ready, here they come!

Rex: Stand fast! Hit 'em with everything you got! (the Umbarans begin to retreat)

Hardcase: (as he shoots at retreating Umbarans) Ha-ha-ha! Where are ya goin’?! Get back here!

Anakin Skywalker: Don't stray too far, the enemy could have the whole area rigged with traps.

Tup: I can't even see the enemy!

Jesse: That's why they're called the shadow people, Tup!

General Krell: CT-7567, do you have a malfunction in your design? You pulled your forces back from taking the capital city! The enemy now has control of this route! This entire operation has been compromised BECAUSE OF YOUR FAILURE!

Fives: General Krell, in case you haven't noticed, Captain Rex just saved this platoon. Surely you won't fail to recognize that.

Pong Krell: ARC-5555, stand down. [ignites his lightsaber]

Fives: [hesitantly] Sir, yes, sir. [walks away]

Captain Rex: Sir, if I may address your accusation, I followed your orders, even in the face of a plan that was, in my opinion, severely flawed. A plan that cost us men. [he takes off his helmet] Not clones! Men! As sure as it is my duty to remain loyal to your command, I also have another duty: to protect those men.

Pong Krell: [deactivates his lightsaber] You have a spark of tenacity, Captain. I'll give you that. I know that I don't command like the Jedi you're used to serving, certainly not like General Skywalker, but I have my way. It may be difficult, but these are difficult times. And it's proven effective. And I suppose your loyalty to your men is to be commended. They seem to admire this. That's important to an effective commander. All right, Captain Rex, your opinion has been noted. Dismissed.

Fives: I think he almost complimented you.

Captain Rex: [Sighs] It's hard to tell.

The General [4.08]

The path of ignorance is guided by fear.

Pong Krell: [seeing his troops retreat from the Umbaran tanks] What are they doing? [contacts Captain Rex] Captain, continue your attack!

Captain Rex: Sir, we’re overpowered! We need reinforcements!

Pong Krell: The rest of the battalion is holding the entrance to the gorge, Captain. They're guarding it so your troops can break through to the airbase.

Captain Rex: Sir, we can’t possibly--

Pong Krell: You must stand your ground! Do you read me?! Captain! Are you listening?! Do not fall back! That is an order!

Pong Krell: CT-7567, where are you?

Captain Rex: General Krell, we’ve come up with a plan to infiltrate the airbase.

Pong Krell: What is your plan?

Captain Rex: I've dispatched two men on a stealth incursion into the airbase. They've been ordered to co-opt starfighters and use them against the tanks.

Pong Krell: You what?! You put this entire assault on your hope that two clones can do what your entire group could not?!

Captain Rex: Sir, the rocket launchers don't work on these tanks, and it'll be easier to slip by undetected while the rest of us keep the tanks occupied.

Pong Krell: Captain! You will launch a full-forward strike immediately! Or you will be relieved of duty!

Hardcase: The second they spot us, I start blasting.

Fives: Hardcase, can't you take it easy for once? Stick to the plan, instead of guns a-blazing.

Hardcase: I'm sorry, it's just how I am. My commander on Kamino said my growth acceleration chamber had a leak. Made me hyper-active, I guess.

Captain Rex: [addressing his platoon before the attack] All right, listen up. We'll assemble the squads into two divisions. We'll move straight up this gorge towards the airbase at the far side.

Kix: The casualties are going to be high!

Fives: Is Krell trying to get us killed?

Jesse: You know, I wasn't sure that Krell was crazy before, but now I'm positive!

Tup: We had to retreat from the capital because the General pushed a flawed strategy. Now this?

Hardcase: I don't know, could be fun.

Dogma: Well, I, for one, agree with the General's plan. We're running out of time and this is the best option.

Jesse: No recon? No air support? We don't know what we're up against. They have weapons we've never seen before!

Captain Rex: A few of General Skywalker's plans seemed reckless, too, but they worked.

Fives: Yeah, but General Skywalker is usually leading his men up in the front, not bringin' up the rear like General Krell!

Captain Rex: We're soldiers. We have a duty to follow orders and, if we must, lay down our lives for victory.

Fives: You believe that, or is that what you were engineered to think?

Captain Rex: I honor my code. That's what I believe.

Captain Rex: Alright, you heard the General. Let's go.

Jesse: You can't be serious.

Fives: I used to think General Krell was reckless, but now I'm beginning to think he just hates clones.

Fives: Clear out, Captain! The big guns have arrived, sir! (he and Hardcase start firing at the Umbaran tanks)

Hardcase: Yeah!

Fives: Look out! Whoa-ha-ha!

Hardcase: Take that! Whoo-hoo!

Fives: Yeah! Whoo! That's the stuff!

Hardcase: Yeah-hoo!

Tup: Way to go, Fives!

Jesse: Yeah! (laughs)

Dogma: That a boy, Hardcase! Whoo!

Fives: All right, let's bring 'em home.

Plan of Dissent [4.09]

The wise man leads, the strong man follows.

Pong Krell: General Kenobi, do you read me?

Obi Wan Kenobi: (in a hologram) Congratulations on your capture of the Umbaran airbase, General. It's refreshing to have good news.

Pong Krell: There will be time for celebration when we've taken that capital.

Obi Wan Kenobi: Yes, well, I'm afraid that's going to be more difficult than anticipated. Their attacks have increased and their long-range missiles are forcing us to retreat from our positions.

Pong Krell: I was hoping we cut off their arms shipments and supplies when we took this airbase.

Obi Wan Kenobi: It seems they're receiving new arms shipments directly from a supply ship orbiting-- (the transmission starts to jam)

Pong Krell: General Kenobi?

Obi Wan Kenobi: We've been having difficulty transmitting-- (the transmission continues to jam) They must be jamming our signals.

Captain Rex: Can't we destroy the supply ship?

Obi Wan Kenobi: We're trying, but with little success. Their fleet outnumbers ours, and the extra ships we were promised have not yet arrived.

Pong Krell: We'll just have to take that capital regardless of the missile. My battalion will meet you at the rendezvous coordinates.

Obi Wan Kenobi: We cannot expect-- (the transmission cuts off)

(Captain Rex enters the tower with Fives and Jesse)

Captain Rex: You wanted to see them, sir?

Pong Krell: Indeed. It seems they have accomplished a very brave act. Unfortunately, they’ve also committed a serious crime by directly disobeying my order.

Captain Rex: With all due respect, sir, the order to attack the cargo vessel was mine. If there's a punishment to be given, it should be directed toward me. I'm their commanding officer.

Fives: General, sir, Captain Rex is attempting to take the blame for actions that were clearly mine.

Captain Rex: Fives!

Fives: I request that his admission of guilt be denied and full blame placed upon me.

Pong Krell: Oh, do you? You willfully countermand my direct order, and now you have the audacity to request who should bear the punishment of your insurrection!? (To Captain Rex) Let me be clear about the punishment for the treason committed by ARC Trooper 5555 and CT-5597: they will be court-martialed, they will be found guilty, and they will be executed! Make no mistake. For crossing me, you will pay the price.

Hardcase: We can't turn back now. (removes missile from his ship and jumps out) Cover me!

Fives: Hardcase, get back in your ship!

Hardcase: Trust me, I've got a plan. (readies to blow up reactor with missile) This is for the 501st! Don't wait for me!

Fives: Hardcase, no!

Hardcase: You've disobeyed enough orders today, sir. Follow this one: Get out of here!

Jesse: If I know Hardcase, we'd better leave! (Fives and Jesse pilot their starfighters out of ship)

Hardcase: (while smiling and colliding the missile with the reactor) Live to fight another day, boys, live to fight another day. (explosion occurs, destroying the supply ship)

Captain Rex: It is not our call. We are part of something larger. We're not independent of one another.

Fives: I'm sorry. I cannot just follow orders when I know they're wrong. Especially when lives are at stake.

Captain Rex: You will if you support the system we fight for.

Fives: I do support it. I do! But I am not just another number! None of us are!

Carnage of Krell [4.10]

Our actions define our legacy.

Jesse: Never thought we'd go out this way.

Dogma: Aim.

Fives: Wait! This is wrong and we all know it! The general is making a mistake, and he needs to be called on it. No clone should have to go out this way! We're loyal soldiers! We follow orders, but we are not a bunch of unthinking droids! We are men! We must be trusted to make the right decisions! Especially when the orders we are given are wrong!

Dogma: [ignores Fives] Fire!

[the clones intentionally miss]

Dogma: What... What happened?

[the clones drop their blasters]

Captain Rex: They're doing the right thing, Dogma. Because if this is how soldiers are rewarded for heroic actions, then one day, every man in this battalion may face a similar fate. Take off their binders.

Dogma: No! We have orders! We have to go through with this!

Captain Rex: Good luck finding anyone to do it.

Captain Rex: You wanted us, sir?

Pong Krell: I ordered those clones to be destroyed. You are making a mistake crossing me, clone.

Captain Rex: It's 'Captain', sir.

Pong Krell: [growls]

Captain Rex: [after realizing the clones have been tricked into shooting each other] What?! [runs back to the scene, frantically waving his arms] Everyone, stop firing! We're shooting at our own men! They're not Umbarans! They're clones! Take off your helmets! Show them you're not the enemy! [removes his helmet] They're clones!

212th Clone Trooper: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Captain Rex: Everyone, stop firing! Cease fire! They're not Umbarans! They're clones! [tackles a shooting clone, takes off his helmet and holds him up to the so called 'enemy'] Look! We're clones! We're all clones! [clones stop firing and realize they're shooting each other]

Dogma: [horrified] What?!

Tup: [after tending to the wounded] This can't be happening, what have we done?

Dogma: I don't understand. Why did these troopers attack us?

Kix: Captain, I found a platoon leader. It’s Waxer. He’s still alive. [He takes Rex to Waxer]

Captain Rex: Waxer... tell me who gave you the orders to attack us.

Waxer: It... It was General Krell. He sent us to these coordinates to stop the enemy. We thought they were wearing our armor, but it was... You. [sheds a tear and dies]

Captain Rex: [to the clones] We all know who's responsible for what happened out there. What we don't know is why. Something has to be done. What I'm proposing is highly treasonous. If any man chooses to opt out, do it now. [the clones take a step forward] From this point forward, we are entering uncharted territory. My orders are, we arrest General Krell for treason against the Republic.

Sergeant Appo: Captain, we've repaired the transmitter. It looks like it was sabotaged. We've received a message from General Kenobi. His forces have captured the capital, but the remaining Umbarans are heading here.

Captain Rex: Get everyone on the perimeter! We need to prepare for a full-scale attack.

Sergeant Appo: [salutes] Yes, sir. [leaves]

Captain Rex: Krell sabotaged the transmitter. He’s been against us from the beginning.

Fives: If the Umbarans get to him, he'll turn over all our intel-- the defense codes, everything. He'll strike a crippling blow to the Republic.

Jesse: Something has to be done. We can't risk the possibility that he might escape.

Tup: As long as Krell's alive, he's a threat to every one of us.

Captain Rex: [pauses] I agree.

Captain Rex: [surrounding Krell with the 501st and 212th] General Krell, you're being relieved of duty.

Pong Krell: [turns around] It's treason, then.

Captain Rex: [points blasters at Krell] Surrender, General.

Pong Krell: [steps into the middle of the room] You're committing mutiny, Captain.

Captain Rex: Explain your actions.

Pong Krell: My actions?

Captain Rex: For ordering your troops against one another!

Pong Krell: Oh, that. I'm surprised you were able to figure it out, for a clone.

Captain Rex: [his men begin to close in on him] Surrender, General. You're outnumbered.

Pong Krell: [he force-pushes all clones away] You dare to attack a Jedi?! [He ignites his lightsabers. The clones open fire, Krell kills many of them] I will not be undermined by creatures bred in some laboratory! [he jumps out the window and escapes]

Pong Krell: [growls]

Captain Rex: Why, General? Why kill your own men?

Pong Krell: [chuckles and stands up] Because I can. Because you fell for it. Because you're inferior.

Captain Rex: But you're a Jedi! How could you?

Pong Krell: A Jedi? [laughs] I am no longer naive enough to be a Jedi. A new power is rising. I've foreseen it. The Jedi are going to lose this war and the Republic will be ripped apart from the inside. In its place is going to rise a New Order and I will rule as part of it.

Captain Rex: You're a Separatist!

Pong Krell: I serve no one's side, only my own. And soon, my master...

Captain Rex: You're an agent of Dooku.

Pong Krell: Not yet, but when I get out of here I will be. After I succeeded in driving the Republic from Umbara, the Count will reward my actions and make me his new apprentice.

Dogma: How could you do this? You had my trust! My loyalty! I've followed all of your orders, and you made me kill my brothers!

Pong Krell: [laughs] That's because you were the biggest fool of them all, Dogma. I counted on blind loyalty like yours to make my plan succeed! [laughs]

Captain Rex: That will never happen. You're a traitor, General, and you will be dealt with as one.

Pong Krell: You never learn, Captain. The Umbarans are going to retake this base, and when they do, I will be free.

Captain Rex: [takes one blaster out of its holster] Turn around. Step toward the wall. [Krell rolls his eyes and turns around] On your knees. [Jesse deactivates the cell ray shield]

Pong Krell: [chuckles] You're in a position of power now. How does it feel?

Captain Rex: [points his blaster at Krell] I said, "On your knees."

Pong Krell: [kneels to the floor] It feels good, doesn't it? But I can sense your fear. [Rex's hand is shaking] You're shaking, aren't you? What are you waiting for? The Umbarans are getting closer.

Captain Rex: I have to do this!

Pong Krell: You can't do it, can you? Eventually, you'll have to do the right thing and-- [A laser hits Krell in the back, killing him. It is revealed Rex didn't kill him, but Dogma did using Fives' gun]

Dogma: [voice breaking] I...I had to. He betrayed us.

Captain Rex: I used to believe that being a good soldier meant doing everything they told you. That’s how they engineered us. But we’re not droids. We’re not programmed. You have to learn to make your own decisions.

Fives: General Kenobi’s battalions have routed the last holdouts of Umbarans, and we’ve secured all sectors. We did it. We took Umbara.

Captain Rex: What's the point of all this? I mean, why?

Fives: I don't know, sir. I don't think anybody knows. But I do know that someday this war is gonna end.

Captain Rex: Then what? We're soldiers. What happens to us then?

Kidnapped [4.11]

Where we are going always reflects where we came from.

Plo Koon: What is it, Master?

Yoda: Sense I do a darker hand in this mystery. Slavery, a great tool it is for the rise of the Sith.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Cody, any word from the Separatist commander?

Commander Cody: He’s barricaded inside. His name is Darts D’Nar. He has sent you a message, sir. [He takes out a holoprojector and activates it]

Darts D’Nar: Master Kenobi, come to the tower. We will negotiate terms for surrender.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Well, that was easy. [Anakin Force-pulls the holoprojector into his hand and furiously crushes it]

Anakin Skywalker: Zygerrian scum! I’ll handle that slaver.

Ahsoka Tano: [talking about Anakin] Why is he so upset?

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Anakin hasn't talked about his past, has he?

Ahsoka Tano: Only to tell me he won't talk about it.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: As a child, Anakin and his mother were sold into slavery by the Hutt clans.

Ahsoka Tano: Oh. And these Zygerrians, they're slavers?

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Anakin has struggled to put his past behind him.

Ahsoka Tano: Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Yes, make sure you do.

Slaves of the Republic [4.12]

Those who enslave others, inevitably become slaves themselves.

Anakin Skywalker: Remember, I'll keep her occupied while you locate the missing people of Kiros.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: How do you plan on keeping the queen occupied?

Anakin Skywalker: Well... [chuckles] with my magnetic charm, of course.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Oh, yes... of course.

Ahsoka Tano: Remind me why I'm the one playing the part of the slave?

Anakin Skywalker: I tried it once. I wasn't any good at it. Besides, the role of master comes easily to me.

Ahsoka Tano: Really? Well, this time, try to be convincing at it.

Anakin Skywalker: [begins Force-choking the queen] You should have listened to them! My friends, where are they?

Queen Miraj: Continue to misbehave and they die. [he lets her go] A most curious Jedi who cares more about his friends than his own mission. Hero, general...and now my servant.

Anakin Skywalker: I will not serve you.

Queen Miraj: Your heart is not in your words. You will stand beside me, a testament to my power. Here, my bodyguard will need a weapon. [gives Anakin back his lightsaber] And you need not worry about your friends, they will be quite safe.

Queen Miraj: You were once a slave, weren't you?

Anakin Skywalker: What makes you think I was a slave?

Queen Miraj: The noble selflessness in your eyes. Your commitment to the service of something greater than yourself. Your Jedi, the Grand Republic, even your friends.

Anakin Skywalker: I don't see commitment as slavery.

Queen Miraj: Oh, it is when it comes at the cost of yourself.

Anakin Skywalker: Looks like I have to rescue you again, old man.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: I knew you'd have a backup plan.

Escape from Kadavo [4.13]

Great hope can come from small sacrifices.

Atai Molec: Count Dooku is on his way here.

Queen Miraj: Ah, sooner than anticipated. Make preparations for his arrival.

Anakin Skywalker: So even you have a master.

Queen Miraj: Dooku is not my master!

Queen Miraj: You were right, Skywalker. I am a slave, just as you are. [she dies]

Ahsoka Tano: Well, hello, Master. Took you long enough.

Anakin Skywalker: Well, I knew you had a nice view.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Anakin! I'm glad to see you, but I'm afraid our host feel otherwise.

Anakin Skywalker: You can't make everyone happy, Master.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: They're threatening to kill the slaves unless you surrender.

Anakin Skywalker: It's good to see you're always ready to negotiate, but I've had enough bargaining with slave drivers.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Anakin, you must realize this is a fight you cannot win alone.

Anakin Skywalker: Who said I was alone?

Keeper Agruss: [confronted by Obi-Wan] Come now, Master Kenobi. I know a Jedi won't kill an unarmed man. [At this, Obi-Wan gives a tacit smile to Rex, who hurls a spear at the astounded Agruss, fatally wounding him]

Rex: I'm no Jedi.

A Friend in Need [4.14]

Friendship shows us who we really are.

Ahsoka: You didn't mention that Lux Bonteri would be here.

Padmé: I didn't know.

Lux: I stand before you, son of Mina Bonteri, loyal Separatist, a patriot, a friend. It has come to my attention that my mother was murdered by Count Dooku in cold blood.

Bec Lawise: That is a lie! Remove this traitor immediately!

Lux: I will not be silenced.

Duchess Satine: Stop this!

Voe Atell: We would ask you to respect that we deal with this matter ourselves.

Lux: No! Dooku is deceiving you. You will all be betrayed, just like my mother.

Ahsoka: We can't just them take him. He'll be killed!

Padmé: Do what you can, Ahsoka, but be discreet.

Anakin: Ahsoka, Padmé just contacted me. She told me the peace negotiations have all but collapsed. Where are you?

Ahsoka: I'm en route to Coruscant, Master. I have Lux Bonteri with me.

Lux: Master Jedi, I'm sorry if I've caused you any trouble.

Ahsoka: It's nothing.

Anakin: Alright. Bring Bonteri to Coruscant immediately and we'll discuss giving him amnesty.

Ahsoka: Yes, Master.

Ahsoka: Lux! Lux, where are we, and what did you do with my lightsabers?

Lux: You should have stayed on the ship.

Bo-Katan Kryze: Who's this?

Ahsoka: I'm his... I'm his...betrothed!

Lux: Uh...right! Right.

Pre Vizsla: [to Lux] Never let the weak tell you what to do. Welcome to Death Watch.

Ahsoka Tano: Hungry? Careful not to choke on your stupidity.

Lux: I can't go with you, Ahsoka. You- you know that.

Ahsoka: But- but we can try...uh, try to change things! Together.

Lux: We make a pretty good team, don't we? [Ahsoka smiles at him] Don't worry. We'll meet again. I promise.

[they touch hands together through a glass door in front of them]

Ahsoka: Be careful, Lux.

[Ahsoka watches as their ship gets detached, Lux getting further and further away]

Deception [4.15]

All warfare is based on deception.

Rako Hardeen: I'm celebrating the death... [takes a sip of his drink] ...of a Jedi. [to the entire bar] I killed Obi-Wan Kenobi!

Rako Hardeen: This is stupid! Confessing for a murder I didn't even do!

Ahsoka Tano: Is he dead?

Anakin Skywalker: [angrily bashes his knuckles together] He's about to be. [he marches over to a drunk Obi-Wan/Hardeen and shoves him onto his back]

Obi-Wan Kenobi/Rako Hardeen: A... A Jedi? [groans groggily] I already killed a Jedi today. [rolls back over] Ah, let me sleep.

Anakin Skywalker: He's not dead. He's drunk. [he grabs Obi-Wan/Hardeen by the collar] Get up, you filth! [furiously throws him against the wall and starts yelling in his face] If it was up to me, I would kill you right here! But lucky for you, the man you murdered would rather see you rot in jail. [sighs. Obi-Wan/Hardeen is too drunk to respond] Now, let's go, you coward, before I change my mind. [he and Ahsoka leave with Obi-Wan/Hardeen]

Anakin Skywalker: So, what's the big rush?

Obi-Wan Kenobi: The Jedi Council has called an emergency meeting.

Anakin Skywalker: [Sighs] I can see it now. Another long, boring debate.

Ahsoka Tano: Would you rather they call you in to train younglings?

Anakin Skywalker: Are you crazy?

Ahsoka Tano: I'm worried about Anakin. He hasn't said a word since it happened.

Mace Windu: Having second thoughts, Master Yoda?

Yoda: Hmm, heading down a dark path, we are.

Mace Windu: We talked about this. Killing a Jedi was the best move we had.

Yoda: Hmm.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: So, how was my funeral?

Yoda: A better performance than you, your corpse gave.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Whatever do you mean? I fell from the top of a building. I could have killed myself.

Obi-Wan Kenobi/Rako Hardeen: This is Ben. I found the transmitter, but I shall have to make this short. We have a problem.

Friends and Enemies [4.16]

Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer.

Anakin: This is for Obi-Wan!

Cad Bane: Now all I need's a new hat.

Obi-Wan Kenobi/Rako Hardeen: For trying to blend in, your hat sure makes you stand out.

Cad Bane: I don't like to hide under a helmet.

Ahsoka Tano: Look, it's Cad Bane!

Anakin Skywalker: Are you sure?

Ahsoka Tano: Ugh, who else wears a hat like that?

Anakin Skywalker: Good point.

Cad Bane: [to Ahsoka] You're lucky we're in a hurry, little lady. We'll have to dance another time.

The Box [4.17]

The strong survive, the noble overcome.

Dooku: Welcome to Serenno. You have been invited here because you are the best bounty hunters in the galaxy. Kiera Swan, two-time winner of the Obsidian Sphere. Derrown, known simply as 'The Exterminator'. Sixtat, the Outlands Butcher. Embo, your bounty tallies were second only to one last season. Cad Bane, who needs no introduction. Rako Hardeen, the Marksman of Concord Dawn. Jakoli, known for never bringing anyone back alive. Onca, you and your brother have been a legendary team. This challenge may prove difficult for you alone. Twazzi, your acrobatics once earned you praise from Chancellor Valorum. Sinrich, inventor of the holographic disguise matrix. And finally, Mantu. Your people were once a peaceful race. How far they have fallen. In a few moments, all eleven of you will enter what we call 'The Box'.

Sixtat: Step back, boys. I show you how it's done.

Cad Bane: Nice hat. Where did you get it? [kills the bounty hunter wearing the hat and turns to Obi-Wan Kenobi/Rako Hardeen] What are you looking at? It's a nice hat.

Anakin Skywalker: You summoned me, Master?

Master Yoda: Wrong to deceive you it was, but much at stake there is.

Anakin Skywalker: So I was right. Obi-Wan is still alive.

Master Yoda: Skywalker, a powerful Jedi you are, yet unpredictable and dangerous you can be to both your friends and your enemies. For Obi-Wan, on your patience everything depends.

Anakin Skywalker: What if he needs our help?

Master Yoda: If you leave, help him you could. But his future… uncertain is. Trust in Obi-Wan we must.

Crisis on Naboo [4.18]

Trust is the greatest of gifts, but it must be earned.

Cade Bane: So long, Jedi!

Anakin Skywalker: You should have quit while you were still alive, Dooku!

Dooku: Fighting off the entire Jedi security force would have been difficult. But now that they are gone, [he activates his lightsaber] defeating you alone will be an easy task.

Count Dooku: Well, done, Master Kenobi, you are a worthy adversary. I cannot say the same about your young apprentice.

Anakin Skywalker: Which means I'll be making Ahsoka your personal bodyguard.

Ahsoka Tano: At your service, my lady.

Anakin Skywalker: If there's trouble, Ahsoka will get you, the queen, and the rest of your staff to safety.

Senator Padmé Amidala: What about you?

Anakin Skywalker: Hopefully, I'll be where I always am.

Ahsoka Tano: [laughs] He means saving the day.

Senator Padmé Amidala: Of course he does.

Anakin Skywalker: You look terrible.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: [groans] Being a criminal is not easy work.

Anakin Skywalker: If I'd known what was going on, I could've helped you. Too bad the Council didn't trust me.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Anakin, it was my decision to keep the truth from you. I knew if you were convinced I was dead, Dooku would believe it as well.

Anakin Skywalker: Your decision?

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Look, I know I did some questionable things, but I did what I had to do. I hope you can understand that.

Anakin Skywalker: You lied to me. How many other lies have I been told by the Council?! And how do you know that you even have the truth?!! [Obi-Wan sighs sadly and walks away]

Padmé Amidala: Chancellor, are you alright?

Chancellor Palpatine: Yes, thanks again to the heroics of the Jedi. That's the second time today.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: We specialize in heroics, Chancellor.

Anakin Skywalker: As long as I live, no harm will ever come to you, Your Excellency.

Chancellor Palpatine: Well, here's to your long and prosperous life, Anakin. One shudders to think where the galaxy would be without the Jedi.

Massacre [4.19]

One must let go of the past to hold on to the future.

Mother Talzin: Prepare yourself, sisters! The war has come to Dathomir!

Old Dak: Rise. Rise! Awake, dead Sisters. Rise. Rise, rise! Awake, dead Sisters. Rise!

Asajj Ventress: Surprised?

General Grievous: Hardly, you are the one I was sent here for.

Asajj Ventress: Then fight me alone. Prove you're the greater warrior. If I win, your army leaves. If you win, the Nightsisters will surrender to you.

General Grievous: (drawing lightsabers) I have always been greater than you.

General Grievous: Enough of this. You think you can defeat me? You're nothing.

Bounty [4.20]

Who we are never changes, who we think we are does.

Brothers [4.21]

A fallen enemy may rise again, but the reconciled one is truly vanquished.

Count Dooku: I can sense him, Grievous. That creature, Savage Opress, is growing stronger and stronger as each day passes.

General Grievous: [coughing] You consider him a threat?

Count Dooku: He is a threat to all of us, even the Jedi. With the Nightsisters eradicated, there's no one left to control him. Something is rising, something sinister.

Morley: [humming] I'm ready for my leftovers. [Savage turns to him] Oh! You're still alive, huh? [he tries to slither away, but Savage grabs him by the neck]

Savage Opress: Who did this to my brother? Are you part of this?

Morley: [choking] No! I didn't... No! No, I-I found him this way! It wasn't me! I found him this way!

Savage Opress: You can't be trusted. You're a slithering liar! YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN HELPING HIM!

Morley: [choking] I didn't know! I didn't know! [Savage snaps his neck, killing him]

[Darth Maul crying and laughing]

Savage Opress: This is where you live? How long have you been here?

Darth Maul: Years and years and years. [Reciting the Sith Code] Through victory, my chains are broken. The chains, the chains are the easy part... [Maul points to his head] It's what goes on in here that's hard! [weeping]

Savage Opress: You have been lost, my brother. Do you remember who you are? Where you came from?

Darth Maul: Always remember I am fear. Always remember I am a hunter. [Maul starts to whimper] Always remember I am filth. Always remember I am nothing!

Savage Opress: Your legs...

Darth Maul: That scum! He took them from me! He took them!

Savage Opress: Who? Who took them?

Darth Maul: Jedi. Jedi.

Savage Opress: You remember?

Darth Maul: I don't ask for mercy, Master. Mercy is a lie, a delusion of the weak to think themselves strong. I ask not for mercy, but the chance...

Savage Opress: What? What is it? Brother, what are you saying?!

Darth Maul: ...And through the filth, through the grief... JEDI!!! [pause] Revenge. I must have revenge.

Ahsoka Tano: Uh, shouldn't we be getting back to the cruiser?

Anakin Skywalker: Nah, I'm hungry... tired of those government rations. Hey, looks like trouble. Come on.

Lou: [holding a frying pan] Hey! What are you doing?

Anakin Skywalker: We don’t want any trouble. We’re only trying to help.

Police droid: Lou! Are you crazy?! Pointing that thing at a Jedi? Put it down now!

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Master Yoda?

Yoda: Feel the disturbance in the Force, do you?

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Yes, Master.

Yoda: Fear you are in danger, I do. From the dead, an old enemy has awakened seeking vengeance.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: An old enemy?

Yoda: Killed your master many moons ago, he did.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: How can this be? I killed him myself!

Yoda: It is so, I fear.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Darth Maul...alive?

Revenge [4.22]

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Mother Talzin: Savage.

Savage Opress: [kneels] Mother.

Mother Talzin: Shall we?

Savage Opress: What happened here? Where are the rest of the sisters?

Mother Talzin: Dooku sent his minions to destroy us, but we will survive. We always have.

Darth Maul: My hatred kept my spirit intact even though my body was not. Yet I was lost and became a rabid animal, and such is how you found me, brother: discarded, forgotten. I have missed so much. The Force feels… out of balance.

Savage Opress: Yes. There is conflict: the Clone Wars.

Darth Maul: Oh, yes. So it began without me.

Savage Opress: Brother, what are we doing here? The Jedi won't be out this far in the galaxy.

Darth Maul: In a galaxy at war, Savage, there is only one way to get the attention of the Jedi: slaughter of the innocent, mercilessly and without compromise.

Darth Maul: [contacts the Jedi Council through a holo message] There will be more innocent blood on your hands, Kenobi, unless you come here, face me. Come alone and if you do not, this world will burn.

Mace Windu: Master Yoda, if this is indeed Darth Maul, his capture is far too important to leave it to Obi-Wan alone.

Yoda: Mmm. Not alone Kenobi will be, an unexpected ally he may have. Trust the Force, we must.

Darth Maul: I was apprenticed to the most powerful being in the galaxy once. I was destined to become... so much more. But I was robbed of that destiny by the Jedi, by Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Darth Maul: Jedi! I have been waiting for you.

Obi-Wan: [feigning ignorance] I'm not sure I've made your acquaintance.

Darth Maul: I am surprised you could have forgotten me so easily, after I killed your master, and you left me for dead on Naboo.

Obi-Wan: [horrified] It is you.

Darth Maul: You may have forgotten me, but I will never forget you. You cannot imagine the depths I would go to to stay alive, fueled by my singular hatred... for you.

Obi-Wan: That may be so, but I defeated you before, and I will defeat you again. [activates lightsaber]

Darth Maul: [chuckles] Don't be so certain. [Savage shows up and activates one half of his lightsaber]

Obi-Wan: You...?

Darth Maul: Your master, Qui-Gon Jinn-- I gutted him, while you stood helpless and watched. How did that make you feel, Obi-Wan?

Savage Opress: What now, brother? Do we go after them?

Darth Maul: No. We will be patient, Savage. I've waited so many years for my revenge, I can wait a little longer.

Savage Opress: But the Jedi will know that you have survived. They will be coming for us.

Darth Maul: I am counting on it.

Darth Maul: Still as weak as ever. And they call you "Master."

Obi-Wan Kenobi: You know, when I cut you in half, I should have aimed for your neck instead.

Darth Maul: Anything more to say?

Obi-Wan Kenobi: I like your new legs. They make you look taller.

Asajj Ventress: Kenobi, don't tell me someone's finally knocked the fight out of you. Wake up! (slaps him awake)

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Ventress?

Asajj Ventress: It looks like I'm here to rescue you.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: When did you become the good guy?

Asajj Ventress: Don't insult me.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Oh! What a lovely sight to wake up to.

Asajj Ventress: Don't flatter yourself, Kenobi, you've never been much to look at, especially now.

Savage Opress: The witch and the Jedi.

Darth Maul: Here for our taking. (activates his lightsaber)

Asajj Ventress: (after handing Obi-Wan one of her lightsabers) I want that back.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: That's fine. Red's not my color.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: We're outmatched.

Asajj Ventress: You want to run?

Obi-Wan Kenobi: I learned from watching you.

Asajj Ventress: Funny.
