Count Dooku quotes from Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Count Dooku

The whispering of his name can rekindle hope, and hope is something we cannot allow our enemy to possess.

Count Dooku

Welcome to Serenno. You have been invited here because you are the best bounty hunters in the galaxy. Kiera Swan, two-time winner of the Obsidian Sphere. Derrown, known simply as 'The Exterminator'. Sixtat, the Outlands Butcher. Embo, your bounty tallies were second only to one last season. Cad Bane, who needs no introduction. Rako Hardeen, the Marksman of Concord Dawn. Jakoli, known for never bringing anyone back alive. Onca, you and your brother have been a legendary team. This challenge may prove difficult for you alone. Twazzi, your acrobatics once earned you praise from Chancellor Valorum. Sinrich, inventor of the holographic disguise matrix. And finally, Mantu. Your people were once a peaceful race. How far they have fallen. In a few moments, all eleven of you will enter what we call 'The Box'.

Count Dooku

Well, done, Master Kenobi, you are a worthy adversary. I cannot say the same about your young apprentice.

Count Dooku

I sense you are one who respects strength, Your Highness. Our droid armies outnumber the Republic clones 100 to 1.

King Katuunko

Perhaps, but I have heard that a single Jedi equals 100 battle droids.

King Katuunko

You were right, Count Dooku. One Jedi is not worth a hundred battle droids... more like a thousand! I'm sorry, but I will be joining the Republic.

Count Dooku

I urge you to reconsider, Wise King. I promise you won't regret it.

King Katuunko

Your agent also promised me Yoda would get a fair fight. I will not deal with those who break their words.

Count Dooku

So be it. Perhaps our negotiations will be more fruitful with your successor. Ventress, KILL HIM!

Yoda

Hmm. In the end, cowards are those who follow the dark side.

Count Dooku

It's a pity I wasn't there in person, my old master.

Yoda

A pity indeed, my fallen apprentice.

Anakin Skywalker

[about the pirates] They're planet-hopping thieves looking for a quick score. They have no interest in picking a fight with Jedi.

Count Dooku

They are devious and deceitful and most importantly, stupid.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

It's a wonder you don't get along with them, Dooku. You have so much in common.

Count Dooku

You underestimate them at your own peril, Kenobi.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

Hurry it up, Dooku.

Anakin Skywalker

You should be more patient, Master. After all, the Count is an elderly gentleman and doesn't move like he used to.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

I suppose you're right.

Count Dooku

I would kill you both right now if I did not have to drag your bodies.

Anakin Skywalker

It's bad enough that we have to be in the same cell, but could you at least spare me the sound of your constant chatter?

Count Dooku

And while I hold my tongue, the two of you will devise a brilliant strategy for getting off this Godforsaken planet?

[in unison] Yes.

Count Dooku

Excellent.

Anakin Skywalker

[as Count Dooku is using the Force to hover a plate of food with a knife on it to him] Don't you think our priority should be escape first, eat second?

Count Dooku

[To Obi-Wan] Do control your protege's insolence so I can concentrate.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

Anakin.

Anakin Skywalker

What?

Obi-Wan Kenobi

Control your insolence. The Count is concentrating.

All troops will stand down. All troops will stand down.

Pre Vizsla

Unacceptable! You promised us we would reclaim Mandalore from these weak-willed cowards! I will order my men to attack.

Count Dooku

And if you do, you'll hold the planet for perhaps a day. And if you do, you'll hold the planet for perhaps a day. Without the backing of my forces or your people, your revolution will be over before it begins. A neophyte such as you wouldn't know these things, but I do. I have other ways to accomplish our goal.

Count Dooku

Are your droids ready?

General Grievous

I am about to deploy the infiltrators, my lord.

You must hurry, the senate is restless.

General Grievous

I don't take orders from you! Only Count Dooku.

Chancellor Palpatine

(during a Senate meeting) We have just received a message from our opponent, Count Dooku.

Count Dooku

(in a hologram) Your Republic forces have carried out a barbaric attack on our people, and among the deaths was the very sponsor of the peace accord, senator Mina Bonteri.

WHAT?!?!?! NO!!!

Count Dooku

With her needless death, I must formally withdraw the proposal for peace offered by our senate.

Lord Tyranus.

Count Dooku

My master.

There is a disturbance in the Force. Your assassin, she has become very powerful.

Count Dooku

Yes, my lord. She is quite important to me.

Too important.

Count Dooku

Master--

Silence! I can sense her powers getting stronger. I would hate to think you are training your own Sith apprentice to destroy him.

Count Dooku

Never! My allegiance is to you and you alone.

Then you must prove it. Eliminate her.

Count Dooku

She is my most trusted--

I SAID, ELIMINATE HER!!!!

Count Dooku

As you wish, my lord.

Asajj Ventress

Master, I need your help quickly! I'm surrounded.

Count Dooku

You have already lost the battle, child. I've ordered your reinforcements to return.

Asajj Ventress

No! I will destroy the Jedi. I'll show you!

Count Dooku

You have failed me for the last time. You are no longer my apprentice. And now... you shall die.
