Agent Kallus quotes from Star Wars Rebels

Agent Kallus

(to C-3PO) Have no fear. Help is on the way.

Agent Kallus

If you won't talk, then my troopers will become a firing squad.

Agent Kallus

[over commlink] I don't know how, but the Rebel ship approached without alerting our sensors.

Ezra Bridger

They came back! [hits his head on the ceiling of the crawlspace] Ow... I don't believe it.

Agent Kallus

Order all stormtroopers to converge on the lower hangar. I'll meet them there.

Ezra Bridger

[clears throat, into commlink] This is Trooper LS-123 reporting intruders in the upper hangar. Sir, I believe the lower hangar is a diversion.

Agent Kallus

Maybe, maybe not. Squads 5 through 8, divert to upper hangar. The rest, converge as ordered.

Ezra Bridger

[to himself] Well, every little bit helps.

Hera Syndulla

[piloting the Ghost, under fire from pursuing TIE fighters] I can't maintain position!

Kanan Jarrus

[taking cover behind some crates with Ezra, Zeb, Sabine and the Wookiees as Kallus' troops fire at them] Go! Lead the TIE's away and give yourself maneuvering room!

Hera Syndulla

I am not leaving you behind!

Kanan Jarrus

[pause] No, you're not. We're running a "twenty-two pick-up!"

Sabine Wren

Seriously?

Kanan Jarrus

You got a better option?

Jump into the pit and get it over with?

Hera Syndulla

Alright, I'll be back. Make sure you're ready!

Ezra Bridger

Twenty-Two Pick-Up? Care to let me in on the secret?

Kanan Jarrus

Kid, I'm about to let everyone in on the secret.

Ezra Bridger

[similarly amazed] Wow!

Agent Kallus

[regains his composure] All troopers, focus your fire on... on the Jedi!

Agent Kallus

You, Lasat! [draws a weapon identical to Zeb's] FACE ME! [Enraged, Zeb draws his own weapon and charges, brushing aside Kanan and Ezra's attempts to stop him]

Kanan Jarrus

Wait!

Ezra Bridger

ZEB! [Zeb and Kallus duel]

Only the Honor Guard of Lasan may carry a bo-rifle!

Agent Kallus

I know! [cackles gleefully] I removed it from a guardsman myself! I was there when Lasan fell! I know why you fear those disruptors... I gave the order to use them!

Zare Leonis

Sir, your podracer parts have been delivered. If you'll just sign off here, I'll bring them up.

Agent Kallus

Obviously there's been a mistake. What would I want with podracer parts?

Minister Maketh Tua

These rebels have ruined Empire Day, they must be punished!

Agent Kallus

We all want that, Minister, but our priority is still the Rodian.

Minister Tua

[nervously; trying to get in Tarkin's good graces] Ah, Grand Moff Tarkin, I am honored by your visit to Lothal.

Grand Moff Tarkin

[disdainfully] My visit is hardly an honor, Minister.

Minister Tua

[caught off-guard] I... admit, I was surprised to learn you were coming--

Grand Moff Tarkin

And I, too, have been surprised, by what is happening on your little backwater world.

Minister Tua

[scoffs nervously] Well, i-i-if you were referring to the insurgents, I-

Grand Moff Tarkin

In the absence of Governor Pryce, you have had a single, simple objective, Minister: To protect the Empire's industrial interests here, interests that are vital to our expansion throughout the Outer Rim. But instead of protecting those interests, you have allowed a cell of insurgents to flourish right under your nose, am I correct? [Tua stammers and coughs for an explanation. Tarkin turns his attention to Kallus] And, Agent Kallus, have you just stood idly by while this rabble have attacked our men, destroyed our property, and disrupted our trade?

Agent Kallus

[abashed] I have exhausted every resource to capture them, sir. This group has proven... quite elusive.

Minister Tua

It's said their leader is... a Jedi.

Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin

[disparagingly] Ah, yes, let us not forget the sudden appearance of a Jedi, as if leaping from the pages of ancient history. [regards the Inquisitor and adopts a sarcastic tone] A shame we don't have someone who specializes in dealing with them, otherwise our problem might be solved. [The Inquisitor scowls at the criticism. Tarkin rolls his eyes] Minister, have you ever met a Jedi?

Minister Maketh Tua

No, I--

Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin

I actually knew the Jedi. Not from the pages of folklore or children's tales, but as flesh and blood. And do you know what happened to them?

Minister Maketh Tua

[nervously] Well, there were rumors--

Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin

They died. Every last one of them. So you see, this criminal cannot be what he claims to be. And I shall prove it.

Agent Kallus

We are getting reports of unrest all over Lothal. There are whispers from Mustafar. Some people see the Empire as weak, vulnerable.

Grand Moff Tarkin

Not to worry, Agent Kallus. The Emperor has sent an alternative solution.

Minister Tua

Agent Kallus, I've exhausted every resource to find information about the rebels, but there is nothing to be found! What more does Governor Tarkin expect?

Agent Kallus

He expects Lothal to be punished, Minister Tua. His own Star Destroyer was demolished by these rebels; he takes that somewhat personally.

Minister Tua

I've doubled patrols, set up checkpoints, established curfews; I honestly don't know what else to do.

Darth Vader

Perhaps that is the problem; you lack imagination, Minister, when it comes to producing results.

Minister Tua

Lord Vader, with all due respect, you and Governor Tarkin are asking for miracles! If the rebels have left Lothal...

Darth Vader

If the rebels have left, then we must draw them back, and if they are here, we must draw them out. We will squeeze Lothal until someone reveals the whereabouts of these traitors.

Agent Kallus

[triumphant] With their command ship destroyed, the rebel fleet is shattered; you have them on the run-!

Darth Vader

[brusquely] Clear the bridge. [Kallus and the remaining Imperials vacate the bridge. Vader goes to one knee as a holographic transmission begins]

Emperor Palpatine

Lord Vader, have you dealt with the rebels in the Lothal system?

Darth Vader

Yes, Master. They are broken.

Emperor Palpatine

And yet, I sense in you something...more to your victory.

Darth Vader

I believe the apprentice of Anakin Skywalker lives, and is in league with these rebels.

Emperor Palpatine

[surprised] Are you certain?

Darth Vader

It was her.

Emperor Palpatine

This is an opportunity we cannot let pass. Skywalker's apprentice could lead us to other lost Jedi.

Darth Vader

Such as Kenobi.

Emperor Palpatine

Perhaps, if he lives. Be patient, my old friend. For now, dispatch another Inquisitor to hunt them down.

Darth Vader

[bows head] As you wish, my Master.

Agent Kallus

This image was taken by one of our probe droids; it clearly shows you harboring known rebels. Now surrender them or be destroyed!

Rex

If it's a fight you want, I hope you brought a better class of soldier than those...[disparagingly] "Stormtroopers".

Agent Kallus

They serve the Empire well, and I have a great many of them.

Rex

You're gonna need all of 'em.

There! Fixed it, and I adjusted the frequency. Now, anyone can pick up its' signal.

Kallus

So? Maybe you won't die today, but the Empire will win. Every day, we recruit more informers. Every day, we persuade Rebel sympathizers to reconsider their allegiances-

And every day, more beings get fed up with the Empire and join us.

Kallus

It's power cell is frozen... and we'll be next. [Zeb notices a light and goes to investigate] What- where are you going? What are you doing over there?

[reaches into a crater and pulls out a luminescent object] Hmm- it's warm.

Kallus

What did you find? What is that?!

I dunno, but it's warm and it throws light.

Kallus

[shivers] Probably some... kind of meteorite.

Yeah. [tosses it to Kallus] Warm yourself up.

Kallus

You really think we'll survive... whatever that is, in there? Plus, the temperature's dropping, and our only heat source is this thing. Who knows how long it'll last?

You're so quick to give up hope. Like I said, the transponder's working. My friends will find us.

Kallus

The transponder's signal will never get through the ice.

Yeah, you're probably right. But Lasat never know when to give up, remember? We'll just climb this up to the surface- simple.

Kallus

You're going to hurt yourself!

Will you just shut up?!

[cracks his knuckles] How'd you like a few more broken bones? [A huge reptilian creature emerges from the darkness behind him and grows] Like this day couldn't get any better.

Karabast! What was that thing?!

Kallus

I don't know... but it's probably going to come back.

yeah... it's probably gonna bring its' friends.

Kallus

That is the order of things. The strong survive... the weak, perish.

Is that what happened on Geonosis? The weak needed to perish?!

Kallus

The only thing I know about Geonosis, is that the population is gone. I never asked questions-

Well, maybe you should start. Or are you afraid of the answers you'll get? [Kallus looks away] Afraid you'll learn the Geonosians were wiped out by your precious Empire?!

Kallus

And why would we do that? What could possibly be the point?

Ah, good questions. Chase the answers, and maybe you'll learn the truth.

Kallus

[smirks] You know... you'll never get out of here, without my help.

You're in no shape to help anybody.

Kallus

I can tell you exactly how to climb out of here.

...All right. We'll work together. [examines Kallus' Bo-rifle] I see you modified it for close-quarters fighting-impressive. But you shouldn't have it. he uses it as a splint for Kallus' leg, causing Kallus to wince] It's not a trophy. Hold still.

Kallus

[stands up] I didn't take it, as a trophy. The Lasat guardsman that I faced... he fought well. Died with honor. He gave me the rifle, before-

The Boosahn Keeraw.

Kallus

The what?

Boosahn Keeraw- the Lasat warrior way. When one is defeated by a superior foe, he gifts his weapon.

Kallus

I was... I was only doing my duty. It was nothing... personal.

[coldly] Yeah. But what the Empire did on Lasan... I'll never forget it.

Kallus

We all have things we won't forget. I remember my first unit. The boys and I were deployed to Onderon... to bring peace and security to a troubled world. We were on a routine patrol, and ran into one of your Rebel friends: a Lasat mercenary who worked for Saw Gerrera. I... was lucky. Knocked out by the first blast. I came to, but found I couldn't move... and then, I saw him. The Lasat, calmly walk through smoke and fire, to finish my unit off one by one. [Zeb looks away] The injured never had a chance. Always wondered, why he let me live.

Well, you can't judge all Lasat the same.

Kallus

Does that sentiment apply to Imperials?

[glares at him] All the Imperials I know.

I'm certain Governor Price is overestimating how organized the resistance is, while it's true there pockets of rebellion there has never been any evidence of a larger scale galaxy wide operation.

Grand Admiral Thrawn

And I would like to keep it that way, Admiral Konstantine.

Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin

Grand Admiral Thrawn.

Grand Admiral!?

Grand Admiral Thrawn

The Emperor recently promoted me after my victory at Batonn.

Agent Kallus

Civilian casualties outnumbered, the insurgents at the time.

Governor Ahrinda Pryce

Acceptable margins Agent Kallus, for there are no longer rebels in the sector.

Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin

Well Thrawn, What do you think of Governor Pryce's theory about the rebels in the Lothal sector?

Grand Admiral Thrawn

This is a pirate our rebels rescued from Naraka prison, Hondo Ohnaka, within the last hour the Phoenix Squadron destroyed Mining Guild ships using the Sereeda hyperspace Waypoint, taken separately they may seem unrelated, But Ohnaka's cellmate was a labourer at our starfighter reclamation plant in the Yarma system, one jump point away from the Sereeda attack.

Governor Ahrinda Pryce

Grand Admiral Thrawn believes the Rebels intend to raid the plant, and steal fighters for their fleet.

Grand Admiral Thrawn

Every ship they add to their arsenal increases the threat to our own armada and the Emperor's plans.

Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin

I trust you have a solution.

Grand Admiral Thrawn

I will start my operations here and pull the Rebels apart, piece by piece. They will be the architects of their own destruction.
