- Eedy Karn: Syril. You're slouching. Is that how you've been presenting yourself to the world? It would explain a great deal. Being a leader isn't something one just turns on and off. By the time you've remembered to sit up straight, it's too late. You might as well a sign that says, "I promise to disappoint you." Shame we couldn't have seen more of each other when you were flourishing. I'd have the memory to sustain me.
- Syril Karn: Well, you could have come any time you wanted.
- Eedy Karn: Any civilized being knows an open invitation is no invitation at all. My assumption is you have no prospect for the future.
- Syril Karn: I had a spare room. Could've visited any time you wanted. You know that.
- Eedy Karn: I know what you tell me. I intuit the rest. I intuit you have no future prospects.
- Syril Karn: I'd forgotten the precision of your predictive powers.
- Eedy Karn: Ah, you've remembered how to mock me.
- Eedy Karn: Forgotten how sensitive you can be.
- Eedy Karn: Perhaps you've forgotten my question. Do you have even a single prospect before you?
- Syril Karn: I'll find a way.
- Eedy Karn: I'm calling Uncle Harlo. I'm calling in the family favor.
- Syril Karn: Haven't heard that in a while.
- Eedy Karn: These are desperate times.
- Syril Karn: You're assuming he'll remember you.
- Eedy Karn: That's amusing.
- Syril Karn: And you think he'll talk to you?
- Eedy Karn: I know he will. And he'll know why I called. And he'll respect me for having waited so long in asking and being so prudent about my request.
- Syril Karn: [Scoffs] What is it you'll be asking for?
- Eedy Karn: Someone who will take you on, Syril.
- Syril Karn: Setting the bar high, are we?
- Eedy Karn: Uncle Harlo will know what's best.
- Mon Mothma: Is Leida ready?
- Perrin Fertha: I'm not sure.
- Mon Mothma: Where is she? Leida?
- [Leida walks in]
- Mon Mothma: Did you eat?
- Leida: When would that have happened? I just came down.
- Mon Mothma: Take something for the ride.
- Leida: What?
- Mon Mothma: We need to be going.
- Leida: Oh, change in plan. Dad's taking me. You're taking me, right?
- Perrin Fertha: Got to clear it with her.
- Leida: I don't have early class today.
- Mon Mothma: We planned this.
- Leida: You did.
- Mon Mothma: Get your coat. It's not up for discussion.
- Leida: Are you serious?
- Mon Mothma: Am I serious?
- Leida: Just go. You're off the hook.
- Mon Mothma: [Turns to Perrin] Enjoying this?
- [to Leida]
- Mon Mothma: Get your coat.
- Leida: It's out of your way anyway so what's the point.
- Mon Mothma: The point is we have a schedule, the driver's waiting, I planned on this, and we're going
- Leida: You're only doing it to show off.
- Mon Mothma: What?
- Leida: Just go.
- Mon Mothma: What would I be showing off?
- Leida: That you're involved somehow.
- Mon Mothma: Well, that's just...
- Leida: Nobody cares. You can relax.
- Mon Mothma: That's just so hurtful.
- Leida: See, there you go.
- Mon Mothma: Go where?
- Leida: That's my point. It's all about you, isn't it? It's always all about you.
- Mon Mothma: Is this really how'd you like to start the day?
- Leida: I didn't choose this conversation.
- Mon Mothma: I so appreciate the support.
- [Mon Mothma turns around and walks away]
