Count Dooku

You must join me, Obi-Wan, and together we will destroy the Sith!

Count Dooku

Master Windu! You have fought gallantly. Worthy of recognition in the archives of the Jedi Order. Now... it is finished. Surrender, and your lives will be spared.

Count Dooku

Master Kenobi, you disappoint me. Yoda holds you in such high esteem. Surely you can do better!

Count Dooku

It is obvious that this contest cannot be decided by our knowledge of the Force... but by our skills with a lightsaber.

Count Dooku

Our friends from the Trade Federation have pledged their support. And when their battle droids are combined with yours, we shall have an army greater than any in the galaxy. The Jedi will be overwhelmed. The Republic will agree to any demands we make.

Traitor!

Count Dooku

Oh no, my friend. This is a mistake, a terrible mistake. They have gone too far, this is madness!

I thought you were the leader here, Dooku.

Count Dooku

This had nothing to do with me; I assure you. I will petition immediately to have you set free.

Well, I hope it doesn't take too long. I have work to do.

Count Dooku

May I ask why a Jedi Knight is all the way out here on Geonosis?

I'm tracking a bounty hunter named Jango Fett. Do you know him?

Count Dooku

There are no bounty hunters here that I'm aware of. The Geonosians don't trust them.

Well, who can blame them? But he is here, I assure you.

Count Dooku

It's a great pity our paths have never crossed before, Obi-Wan. Qui-Gon always spoke very highly of you. I wish he were still alive. I could use his help right now.

Qui-Gon Jinn would never join you.

Count Dooku

Don't be so sure, my young Jedi. You forget that he was once my apprentice, just as you were once his. He knew all about the corruptions of the Senate, but he would never have gone along with it if he had known the truth as I have.

The truth?

Count Dooku

The truth. What if I told you that the Republic is now under the control of a Dark Lord of the Sith?

No, that's not possible! The Jedi would be aware it!

Count Dooku

The Dark Side of the Force has clouded their vision, my friend. Hundreds of senators are now under the influence of a Sith Lord called Darth Sidious.

I don't believe you.

Count Dooku

The Viceroy of the Trade Federation was once in league with this Darth Sidious, but he was betrayed ten years ago by the Dark Lord. He came to me for help; he told me everything. You must join me, Obi-Wan, and together we will destroy the Sith!

I will never join you, Dooku.

Count Dooku

It may be difficult to secure your release.

[As Anakin, Obi-Wan and Padm? hold their own against the execution beasts]

This isn't how it's supposed to be! Jango, finish her off!

Count Dooku
[halting Jango]

Patience, Viceroy, patience. She will die.
[Padm? and the others are surrounded by droidekas in the arena]

Count Dooku

Master Windu, how pleasant of you to join us.

This party's over.

Count Dooku

Brave, but foolish, my old Jedi friend. You're impossibly outnumbered.

I don't think so.

Count Dooku

We'll see.

Count Dooku
[After surrounding the Jedi, the army of Separatist droids and Geonosians suddenly rest their weapons]

Master Windu! You have fought gallantly. Worthy of recognition in the archives of the Jedi Order. Now... it is finished. Surrender, and your lives will be spared.

We will not be hostages to be bartered, Dooku!

Count Dooku

Then... I'm sorry, old friend.
[The droids and Geonosians ready their weapons again]

You're going to pay for all the Jedi that you killed today, Dooku.

We'll take him together. You go in slowly on the left...

No, I'm taking him now!

No, Anakin, NO!

Count Dooku
[Dooku easily defeats Anakin, using Force Lightning]

As you can see, my Jedi powers are far beyond yours. Now, back down.

[He uses Force Lightning on Kenobi, who absorbs it with his lightsaber]

I don't think so.

Count Dooku
[They both draw their lightsabers and duel; Dooku seems to have the upper hand]

Master Kenobi, you disappoint me. Yoda holds you in such high esteem. Surely you can do better!

Count Dooku

Master Yoda.

Count Dooku.

Count Dooku

You have interfered with our affairs for the last time.

[As Dooku fails to kill Yoda using Force-thrown objects (due to Yoda deflecting them with equally-strong use of the Force)]

Powerful you have become, Dooku. The Dark Side I sense in you.

Count Dooku

I have become more powerful than any Jedi. Even you.

[As Dooku emits Force lightning, Yoda absorbs it with his hand and deflects it back to Dooku who also deflects it away from him. He tries again, but Yoda absorbs the lightning again, this time extinguishing it.]

Much to learn, you still have.

Count Dooku

It is obvious that this contest cannot be decided by our knowledge of the Force, but by our skills with a lightsaber.

Count Dooku

The Force is with us, Master Sidious.

Welcome home, Lord Tyrannus. You have done well.

Count Dooku

I have good news for you, my lord. The war has begun.

Excellent. [smilingly] Everything is going as planned...

Poggle the Lesser
[Count Dooku and his Separatist droid army are being overwhelmed and defeated by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's clone army and the Jedi] [in Geonosian]

We have to order a retreat!

Dooku

My master will never allow the Republic to get away with this treachery.

Poggle

I'm sending my warriors to hide in the catacombs. The Jedi must not find our designs for the ultimate weapon. [downloads the schematic designs of the Death Star from a main computer console and transfers them to a small holographic pad] If they find out what we are planning to build, we're doomed. [hands the pad over to Count Dooku]

Dooku
[takes the pad from Poggle]

I will take the designs with me to Coruscant. [activates the pad and a hologram of the Death Star appears] They will be much safer there… with my master. [deactivates the pad and the hologram disappears]
