Padmé
- Anakin Skywalker: I saw your ship! What are you doing out here?
- Padmé: I was so worried about you! Obi-Wan... told me terrible things.
- Anakin Skywalker: What things?
- Padmé: He said... you've turned to the Dark Side, that you... killed younglings!
- Anakin Skywalker: Obi-Wan is trying to turn you against me.
- Padmé: He cares about us.
- Anakin Skywalker: Us?
- Padmé: He knows. He wants to help you. Anakin, all I want is your love.
- Anakin Skywalker: Love won't save you, Padmé. Only my new powers can do that.
- Padmé: At what cost? You're a good person. Don't do this!
- Anakin Skywalker: I won't lose you the way I lost my mother. I am becoming more powerful than any Jedi has ever dreamed of, and I'm doing it for you... to protect you.
- Padmé: Come away with me. Help me raise our child. Leave everything else behind while we still can!
- Anakin Skywalker: Don't you see? We don't have to run away anymore. I have brought peace to the Republic. I am more powerful than the Chancellor; I... I can overthrow him. And together, you and I can rule the galaxy... make things the way we want them to be!
- Padmé: I don't believe what I'm hearing! Obi-Wan was right... you've changed!
- Anakin Skywalker: [growing angry] I don't want to hear anymore about Obi-Wan. The Jedi turned against me. Don't you turn against me!
- Padmé: [crying] I don't know you anymore! Anakin... you're breaking my heart! You're going down a path I can't follow!
- Anakin Skywalker: Because of Obi-Wan?
- Padmé: Because of what you've done... what you plan to do! Stop! Stop now... come back! I love you!
- Anakin Skywalker: [looks past Padmé to see Obi-Wan standing in the ship] Liar!
- Padmé: [turns to see Obi-Wan, gasps] No!
- Anakin Skywalker: [to Padmé] You're with him! You've brought him here to kill me!
- [begins choking Padmé with the Force]
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: Let her go, Anakin!
- Padmé: [choking] Anakin...
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: Let... her... go!
- [releases Padmé, who falls to the ground, unconscious]
- Supreme Chancellor: And the Jedi rebellion has been foiled.
- Senator Bail Organa: What's happened?
- Padmé: The Chancellor's been elaborating on a plot by the Jedi to overthrow the Senate.
- Supreme Chancellor: The remaining Jedi will be hunted down and defeated!
- Anakin Skywalker: Are you all right? You're trembling. What's going on?
- Padmé: Something wonderful has happened. Ani, I'm pregnant.
- Padmé: What if the democracy we thought we were serving no longer exists, and the Republic has become the very evil we have been fighting to destroy?
- Senator Amidala: I'm not going to die in childbirth, Anakin. I promise you.
- Anakin Skywalker: No, I promise you.
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: [referring to Anakin] When was the last time you saw him?
- Padmé Amidala: Yesterday.
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: And do you know where he is now?
- Padmé Amidala: [clearly lying] No.
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: Padmé, I need your help. He is in grave danger.
- Padmé Amidala: [horrified] From the *Sith*?
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: From himself.
- [pauses]
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: Padmé, Anakin has turned to the dark side.
- Padmé Amidala: You're wrong! How could you even *say* that?
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: I have seen... a security hologram... of him... killing younglings.
- Padmé Amidala: Not Anakin. He couldn't.
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: He was deceived by a lie. We *all* were. It appears that the Chancellor is behind everything, including the war. Palpatine is the Sith Lord we've been looking for. After the death of Count Dooku, Anakin became his new apprentice.
- Padmé Amidala: [turns away in shock; sits down on the couch] I don't believe you. I can't.
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: [sits down on the couch] Padmé, I *must* find him.
- Padmé Amidala: [turns to Obi-Wan] You're going to kill him, aren't you?
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: He has become a very great threat.
- Padmé Amidala: [turns away and shakes her head] I can't.
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: [gets off of the couch, walking towards his ship] Anakin is the father, isn't he?
- [Padmé doesn't answer]
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: I'm so sorry.
- [dons his hood and leaves]
- Anakin Skywalker: I feel lost.
- Padmé: Lost? What do you mean?
- Anakin Skywalker: Obi-Wan and the Council don't trust me.
- Padmé: They trust you with their lives.
- Anakin Skywalker: Something's happening. I'm not the Jedi I should be. I want more. And I know I shouldn't.
- Padmé: You expect too much of yourself.
- Padmé: Obi-Wan? Is Anakin all right?
- [Obi-Wan looks at her sadly and does not answer. He brushes her hair back. Padme drops back into unconsciousness]
- Padmé: Don't do this. Don't shut me out. Let me help you. Hold me, like you did by the lake on Naboo; so long ago when there was nothing but our love. No politics, no plotting, no war.
- Anakin Skywalker: You are so... beautiful.
- Padmé: It's only because I'm so in love.
- Anakin Skywalker: No, it's because I'm so in love with you.
- Padmé: So love has blinded you?
- Anakin Skywalker: [laughs] Well, that's not exactly what I meant.
- Padmé: But it's probably true.
- [Captain Typho is trying to talk Padme out of leaving Coruscant without protection]
- Captain Typho: My Lady, let me come with you.
- Padmé: There is no danger. The fighting is over, and... this is personal.
- [Typho bows]
- Captain Typho: As you wish, my lady... but I strongly disagree.
- Padmé: I'll be all right, Captain. This is something I must do myself. Besides, Threepio will look after me.
- C-3PO: Oh, dear.
- [Typho leaves; Padme and C-3PO board the Naboo skiff; Obi-Wan sneaks on board]
- C-3PO: [to Padme] You know, I think I'm getting the hang of this flying business.
- Padmé: This war represents a failure to listen. Now you're closer to the Chancellor than anyone! Please, ask him to end this war and let diplomacy resume.
- Darth Sidious: In order to ensure the security and continuing stability, the Republic will be reorganised... into the first... Galactic Empire! For a safe... and secure... society!
- [raises arms as crowd enthusiastically applauds and cheers]
- Padmé: So this is how liberty dies... with thunderous applause.
- Padmé Amidala: Ani, I want to have our baby back home on Naboo. We can go to the lake country where no one will know, where we can be safe. I can go early and fix up the baby's room.
