Padmé Amidala quotes from Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Padmé Amidala

Far too often, we forget that our most important allies are not always the most powerful.

Padmé Amidala

[to Onaconda Farr] There's always a choice! To live in fear is no life at all!

Padmé Amidala

The creation of more warriors will not end this war. The financial costs alone will bankrupt and cripple the Republic. By adding more clones to the conflict, we are only escalating destruction, not winning the war. Which is why we must vote for this resolution, to promote more diplomacy and to bring an end to this killing and hatred.

Padmé Amidala

Teckla Minnau. Teckla is one of my aides. Like so many of the people that we tell ourselves we're here to serve, Teckla lives in a district that rarely has electricity and running water as a result of the war. Her children can now only bathe every two weeks, and they have no light in which to read or study at night. The Republic has always funded these basic services, but now, there are those who would divert the money to the war, with no thought for what the people need to survive. If not for people like Teckla and her children, who are we fighting for? My people, your people, all of our people. This war is meant to save them from suffering, not increase it. I support our brave soldiers, whether they come from the clone factories, or from any of the thousands of systems loyal to the Republic, but if we continue to impoverish our people, it is not on the battlefield where Dooku will defeat us, but in our own homes. Therefore, it is our duty and our responsibility to preserve the lives of those around us by defeating this bill.

(shouts in terror) AH, THOSE BOUNTY HUNTERS WERE TRYING TO KILL ME!!!

Padmé Amidala

Ever since I've known you, you've been playing with droids.

Anakin Skywalker

I used to put them together. Now, I only take them apart.

Padmé Amidala

Go back to the ship and call for help.

C-3PO

I regret the transmitters on the ship are out of order.

Padmé Amidala

What?!

C-3PO

The ship has been destroyed.

Padmé Amidala

Battle droids?

C-3PO

No.

Padmé Amidala

Jar Jar?

C-3PO

Jar Jar.

Ani, how about the next time you rescue me before you kill all the battle droids?

Anakin Skywalker

[smiling] A little "thank you" would go a long way.

Anakin Skywalker

The virus is loose, but Ahsoka has sealed off the entire facility.

Yes, but any remaining droids will try to break out. I'll do what I can to stop them. I cannot let that virus escape.

Anakin Skywalker

Be careful.

What a waste.

With all due respect, Senator, it's what these men were born to do.

I hope that their sacrifice brings us closer to peace.

Ahsoka Tano

[coughs; weakly] It will, Padmé. You must… believe… [faints and falls into Rex's arms]

Ahsoka!

Anakin Skywalker

Padmé, I spoke with the medical droid. He expects you to make a full recovery.

I never lost faith in you. None of us did.

Anakin Skywalker

Oh, that's good to hear, 'cause there were a few moments where we weren't so sure of ourselves.

Well, you did make it. By the way, your Padawan was brilliant. I trust I’ll see you soon, [she and Anakin hold hands] General Skywalker?

Anakin Skywalker

Of course, my lady.

Anakin Skywalker

Hey, I'm supposed to be on a meditative retreat. We should go away together. I know a place far away from here where no one would recognize us. Yeah, it'll be like we're actually husband and wife instead of senator and Jedi.

I--I can't, Ani.

Anakin Skywalker

What do you mean, you can't? Oh, it's only two weeks. We'll be back before anyone even notices we're gone.

I have to bring this bill before the Senate. It's important.

Anakin Skywalker

Uh-huh. More important than the way you feel about me?

Not more important, but important. The work I do--the work we both do is in the service of the Republic, to protect those who would otherwise be powerless to protect themselves.

Anakin Skywalker

Of course. But those are ideals. Isn't our love more important to you?

But I--

Anakin Skywalker

No. No, but. To me, there's nothing more important than the way I feel about you. Nothing.

[Stands up to face Anakin] Anakin, don't be so--

Anakin Skywalker

Oh, you don't believe me.

I didn't say I--

Anakin Skywalker

I'll prove it. Just watch. [Pulls out his lightsaber] When I finished constructing my lightsaber, Obi-Wan said to me, "Anakin, this weapon is your life." This weapon is my life.

No, Anakin, I can't. A Jedi lightsaber is-- [Anakin puts the lightsaber in Padmé's hand] Wow, it's heavier than I thought.

Anakin Skywalker

It's yours. Believe me now?

If all you want to do is make fun of me, I think you should just go.

Anakin Skywalker

That's not what I want. Not at all.

Padmé Amidala

Another daring rescue, Master Jedi.

Anakin Skywalker

I do my best, Senator.

Anakin Skywalker

I hitched a ride on a cargo freighter.

Padmé Amidala

What happened to your military transport?

Anakin Skywalker

Eh... it blew up. Anyway, the freighter captain was bringing a shipment to a restaurant here, and he gave me something to bring home. [Padmé stops walking and looks surprised at Anakin] We just have to-- [Anakin stops walking and turns to Padmé] What?

You called this home.

Anakin Skywalker

Well, what else would I call it? [kisses Padmé]

I've been saving it for a special occasion.

Anakin Skywalker

An evening alone with you? I can't think of an occasion more special.
