“I know it’s a horrifying situation, but you can’t fight every evil in the galaxy.”

“She can order me to my death, and I will go. And she knows it. As far as I can see, she will always pick Naboo, and I will always pick her.”

“Evil? I’ve fought evil, and it was easy: I shot it. It’s apathy I can’t stand.”

“We are brave, Your Highness.”

“My hands are yours for as long as you need them.”

“I don’t know what I’d do, I’ve guarded my heart against everything for so long, always aware of the dynamics and the flow of power. I’ve been lucky to find so many people who understand that and give me that space. I’m afraid that if someone breaks through, I’ll let them, and it would be catastrophic.”

“I’m not sure I want to mix politics and family, but I suppose it depends on a great many things.”

“Everyone who has ever seen you has underestimated you, haven’t they?”

“I know, you can like something even when you know it’s not going to last.”

“I encourage them to, I am small. I carry only a single blaster. And I’m usually wearing something much less practical-looking than these.”

“You can take mine to the ship, too, you little blue snitch.”

“It doesn’t make any sense! She wouldn’t just die. And an empire? Headed by Sheev Palpatine? Nothing about this makes sense!”

“All’s fair with standard programming.”

“ Any path can be a poor one if it goes blindly in one direction.”

“My hands are yours.”

“Whatever happened next. However, it was recorded and remembered. She was entirely on her own.”

“On a dusty world with two bright suns, a little boy looked up from his work and saw an angel.”

“What I learned was that I’d rather be second to you than first to anyone else.”

“I can order you to your death.”

“And I would go.”

“I can’t be that dedicated to you.”

“The girl in the white dress was going to be Queen, and she was ready.”

“And yet you are always second best, at everything you’ve ever tried.”

“The girl in the white dress was never going to be Queen, but she was ready.”

“There’s a lot to be said for being yourself. Not everyone is meant to be a shadow.”

With all respect, Senator, that is exactly why you sent someone like me on this mission. You don’t approve of violence, and you never will. I admire that, and I have accepted it. All I ask in return is that you accept that I am the person you send when there’s the possibility of… aggressive negotiations.“

"When you say it like that, it sounds terrible, but at the time, I couldn’t imagine doing anything else. I still can’t.”

“You told me once that when you gave your heart to someone, it would be a disaster, I should have known you weren’t exaggerating.”

“It’s just always so thrilling. We never stop to work anything out because we’re always stealing a moment alone together or crashing into the next mission.”

“It sounds romantic.”

“Just like old times.”

“You’re angry. That doesn’t bother me. I’d be angry, too, if she picked you over me.”

“She was always the most beautiful thing he’d ever seen, but right now, she defied description.”
