Chancellor Palpatine
- Chancellor Palpatine: Isn't it remarkable that one can have all the power in the galaxy and yet the words of a single senator can sway the thoughts of millions?
- Mas Amedda: What do you plan to do about this?
- Chancellor Palpatine: For now, we must adhere to the principles of our democracy. We must let the wheels of the Senate turn.
- Chancellor Palpatine: Isn't it remarkable, that one can have all the power in the Galaxy, and yet the words of a single senator can swade the thoughts of millions?
- Chancellor Palpatine: Members of the Senate, please, please...
- Senator Aang: How dare they?
- Zion Paulness: They attack, and now they want peace?
- Padmé Amidala: Chancellor Palpatine, may I remind the senators that the peace proposal was made prior to their assault.
- Senator Aang: That only highlights its insincerity.
- Halle Burtoni: Chancellor Palpatine, in light of this unprovoked attack on Coruscant and the vulnerabilities it raises, I propose the Republic purchase an additional 5 million clone troopers.
- Bail Organa: The Republic is already operating in deep debt. How do you propose we pay for these additional troops?
- Halle Burtoni: My people are drafting an emergency appropriations bill that would raise funds...
- Padmé Amidala: From the Banking Clan?
- Halle Burtoni: Yes, of course. Do you have an alternate means of paying?
- Padmé Amidala: One alternative might be to stop the war, not escalate it.
- All Senators: Traitor! Traitor!
- Padmé Amidala: Whoever attacked the power grid wants us to continue to fight. It's a calculated attempt to destroy the peace process. Not everyone in the Confederacy wants this. I know this for a fact.
- Mee Deechi: You have Separatist friends, Senator?
