I don't know how much longer I can hold off the vote, my friends. More and more star systems are joining the Separatists.
I will not let this Republic that has stood for a thousand years be split in two. My negotiations will not fail.
If they do, you must realize that there aren't enough Jedi to protect the Republic. We're keepers of the peace, not soldiers.
Master Yoda, do you really think it will come to war?
Hmmm. The Dark Side clouds everything; impossible to see the future is.

The Loyalist Committee has arrived, Your Honor.

[says something else]
Send them in. [as Committee enters] We will discuss this matter later.
Senator Amidala! Your tragedy on the landing platform, terrible. Seeing you alive brings warm feeling to my heart.
PA Padmè Amidala
Do you have any idea who's behind this attack?
Our intelligence point to disgruntled spice miners on the moons of Naboo
PA Padmè Amidala
I think that Count Dooku is behind it.
KA Ki-Ali-Mundi
He is a political idealist, not a murderer.
You know, milady, Count Dooku was once a Jedi. He couldn't assassinate anyone; it's not in his character.
But for certain, Senator, in grave danger you are.
Master Jedi, may I suggest that the Senator be placed under the protection of your graces?
Bail Organa You really think that is a wise decision during these stressful times.
PA Padmè Amidala
Chancellor, if I may comment, I do not believe-
The situation is that serious? Oh, but I do, Senator. I realize all too well that additional security might be disruptive for you, but... perhaps someone you're familiar with. An old friend, like... Master Kenobi.
That's possible. He's just returned from a border dispute on Ansion.
Do it for me, milady, please. The thought of losing you... is unbearable.
I will have Obi-Wan report to you immediately.
PA Padmè Amidala
Thank you, Master Windu.
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 breathe. 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. [pause] If you are suffering as much as I am, please, tell me.
Padme Amidala I can't... We can't... It's not possible.
Anything is possible, Padme, listen to me.
Padme Amidala 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 a conclusion, it will take us to a place we cannot go, regardless of the way we feel about each other.
Then you do feel something!
Padme Amidala I will not let you give up your future for me.
You're asking me to be rational. That is something I know I cannot do. Believe me, I wish I could just wish away my feelings, but I can't.
PA Padm? Amidala
You're not all-powerful, Ani.
Well, I should be! Someday I will be. I will be the most powerful Jedi ever. I promise you. I will even learn to stop people from dying! It's all Obi-Wan's fault! He's jealous! He's holding me back!
PA Padm? Amidala
What's wrong, Ani?
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!
Padme Amidala To be angry is to be human.
I'm a Jedi. I know I'm better than this.
