Quotes
Anakin: (About Padme) Just
being around her again is... intoxicating.
Obi-Wan: You know I don't
like it when you do that.
Anakin: Sorry, Master. I
forgot you don't like flying.
Obi-Wan: I don't mind flying,
but what you're doing is suicide.
Anakin: It's all Obi-Wan's
fault. He's jealous, he's holding me back.
Anakin: Jedi business. Go
back to your drinks.
Anakin: I don't like sand.
It's all coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything is soft and smooth.
Padme: You're not all-powerful
Ani.
Anakin: Well I should be.
One day, I will become the greatest Jedi EVER. I will even learn how to stop people from dying.
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 children too. They're like
animals and I slaughtered them like animals. I HATE THEM!
Padme: To be angry is to
be human.
Anakin: I'm a Jedi. I'm
better than this.
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.
Ob-Wan: (Looks as his handcuffed
hands) Good job.
Obi-Wan: Just relax, concentrate.
Anakin: What about Padme?
Obi-Wan: She seems to be
on top of things.
Anakin: You're going to
pay for all the that Jedi 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.
Dooku: That was brave boy,
but foolish. I would have thought you'd have learned your lesson.
Anakin: I am a slow learner.
