Anakin Skywalker
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: Why do I get the feeling you're going to be the death of me?
- Anakin Skywalker: Don't say that, Master. You're the closest thing I have to a father.
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: Then why don't you listen to me?
- Anakin Skywalker: I *am* trying.
- Anakin: Attachment is forbidden. Possession is forbidden. Compassion, which I would define as unconditional love, is essential to a Jedi's life. So you might say, that we are encouraged to love.
- Padmé: We used to come here for school retreat. We would swim to that island every day. I love the water. We used to lie out on the sand and let the sun dry us and try to guess the names of the birds singing.
- Anakin: I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything is soft and smooth.
- Anakin: 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 breath. 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.
- [uncomfortable pause]
- Anakin: ... if you are suffering as much as I am, PLEASE, tell me.
- [while chasing Padme's assassin, Obi-Wan and Anakin track her to a nightclub]
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: Why do I get the feeling you're going to be the death of me?
- Anakin Skywalker: Don't say that Master... You're the closest thing I have to a father... I love you. I don't want to cause you pain.
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: Then why don't you listen to me?
- Anakin Skywalker: I try, Master.
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: Can you see him?
- Anakin Skywalker: I think he's a she... and I think she's a Changeling.
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: In that case be extra careful. Go and find her.
- [He heads towards the bar]
- Anakin Skywalker: Where are you going, Master?
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: For a drink.
- [while Anakin searches the nightclub for the assassin, Obi-Wan sits down at the counter, and the dealer to his right turns to him]
- Elan Sleazebaggano: You wanna buy some death-sticks?
- [Obi-Wan executes the Jedi Mind Trick]
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: You don't want to sell me death sticks.
- Elan Sleazebaggano: Ah, I don't want to sell you death sticks.
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: You want to go home and rethink your life.
- Elan Sleazebaggano: I want to go home and rethink my life.
- [Elan leaves. The assassin closes in on Obi-Wan, but just before she can shoot him, he turns around and uses his lightsaber to cut off her arm. Anakin is suddenly at Obi-Wan's side]
- Anakin Skywalker: Easy... Jedi business. Go back to your drinks.
- [Anakin and Padme are about to be carted into the arena]
- Anakin: Don't be afraid.
- Padmé: I'm not afraid to die. I've been dying a little bit each day since you came back into my life.
- Anakin: What are you talking about?
- Padmé: I love you.
- Anakin: You love me? I thought we had decided not to fall in love. That we'd be forced to live a lie and that it would destroy our lives.
- Padmé: I think our lives are about to be destroyed anyway. I truly... deeply... love you and before we die I want you to know.
- Anakin: If you are suffering as much as I am, please tell me.
- Padmé: I can't... We can't... It's not possible.
- Anakin: Anything is possible, Padme, listen to me.
- Padmé: 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 to conclusion, it will take us to a place we cannot go, regardless of the way we feel about each other.
- Anakin: Then you do feel something!
- Padmé: I will not let you give up your future for me.
- Anakin: You're asking me to be rational. That is something that I know I cannot do. Believe me, I wish I could just wish away my feelings, but I can't.
- Anakin: [telling Padme about the Sand People] I... I killed them. I killed them all. They're dead... every single one of them. And not just the men. But the women... and the children, too. They're like animals, and I slaughtered them like animals! I HATE THEM!
- Obi-Wan: What took you so long?
- Anakin: Well, you know, Master, I couldn't find a speeder that I really liked...
- Obi-Wan: There he is.
- Anakin: ...with an open cockpit and the right speed capabilities.
- Obi-Wan: If you spent as much time practicing your saber techniques as you did your wit, you'd rival Master Yoda as a swordsman.
- Anakin: I thought I already did.
- Obi-Wan: Only in your mind, my very young apprentice.
- [while pursuing Count Dooku, a laserblast knocks Padme out of the gunship]
- Anakin: PADME!
- [to pilot]
- Anakin: Put the ship down!
- Obi-Wan: Anakin! Don't let your personal feelings get in the way!
- [to pilot]
- Obi-Wan: Follow that speeder.
- Anakin: Lower the ship!
- Obi-Wan: 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: I don't care! Put the ship down!
- Obi-Wan: You will be expelled from the Jedi order!
- Anakin: I CAN'T LEAVE HER!
- Obi-Wan: COME TO YOUR SENSES! What do you think Padme would do were she in your position?
- Anakin: [pause] She would do her duty.
