Fives quotes from Star Wars: The Clone Wars

So, why aren't we sticking up to the original plan and probing the city defenses first?

We can do this. Let's take 'em!

Yeah, leave it to Hardcase to dive in head-first.

The general's new plan is reckless.

You ever think that maybe the general knows what he is doing?

[to Rex] I know you think this is a bad idea.

I raised my objection to General Krell's plan, but he didn't agree. So, this is it.

Well, what if he's wrong? Then what?

This isn't the time for a debate. Right now, we have to stay alert.

We're completely exposed!

Hold your ground!

You want a piece of this?! (kills several Umbarans)

(after large explosion) Uh-oh! I think Hardcase made ’em mad! (an Umbaran attacks Tup, but he shoots him off)

(after another large explosion) We're blown!!

The Umbarans are advancing! (kills two Umbarans)

Make ‘em eat heat!

(being overrun) They're coming from all directions!

We don't have any cover!

We need to pull back, get them to follow us. If we can draw them out, we can see them.

If we can see them, we can hit them!

All squads, pull back now!

This can't be good.

(after seeing his troops retreat) Feeble minded clones! (to the rest of his troops) Get in there and save their necks!

Get ready, here they come!

Stand fast! Hit 'em with everything you got! (the Umbarans begin to retreat)

(as he shoots at retreating Umbarans) Ha-ha-ha! Where are ya goin'?! Get back here!

General Krell

CT-7567, do you have a malfunction in your design? You pulled your forces back from taking the capital city! The enemy now has control of this route! This entire operation has been compromised BECAUSE OF YOUR FAILURE!

General Krell, in case you haven't noticed, Captain Rex just saved this platoon. Surely you won't fail to recognize that.

Pong Krell

ARC-5555, stand down. [ignites his lightsaber]

[hesitantly] Sir, yes, sir. [walks away]

Sir, if I may address your accusation, I followed your orders, even in the face of a plan that was, in my opinion, severely flawed. A plan that cost us men. [he takes off his helmet] Not clones! Men! As sure as it is my duty to remain loyal to your command, I also have another duty: to protect those men.

Pong Krell

[deactivates his lightsaber] You have a spark of tenacity, Captain. I'll give you that. I know that I don't command like the Jedi you're used to serving, certainly not like General Skywalker, but I have my way. It may be difficult, but these are difficult times. And it's proven effective. And I suppose your loyalty to your men is to be commended. They seem to admire this. That's important to an effective commander. All right, Captain Rex, your opinion has been noted. Dismissed.

I think he almost complimented you.

[Sighs] It's hard to tell.

The second they spot us, I start blasting.

Hardcase, can't you take it easy for once? Stick to the plan, instead of guns a-blazing.

I'm sorry, it's just how I am. My commander on Kamino said my growth acceleration chamber had a leak. Made me hyper-active, I guess.

[addressing his platoon before the attack] All right, listen up. We'll assemble the squads into two divisions. We'll move straight up this gorge towards the airbase at the far side.

The casualties are going to be high!

Is Krell trying to get us killed?

You know, I wasn't sure that Krell was crazy before, but now I'm positive!

We had to retreat from the capital because the General pushed a flawed strategy. Now this?

I don't know, could be fun.

Well, I, for one, agree with the General's plan. We're running out of time and this is the best option.

No recon? No air support? We don't know what we're up against. They have weapons we've never seen before!

A few of General Skywalker's plans seemed reckless, too, but they worked.

Yeah, but General Skywalker is usually leading his men up in the front, not bringin' up the rear like General Krell!

We're soldiers. We have a duty to follow orders and, if we must, lay down our lives for victory.

You believe that, or is that what you were engineered to think?

I honor my code. That's what I believe.

Alright, you heard the General. Let's go.

You can't be serious.

I used to think General Krell was reckless, but now I'm beginning to think he just hates clones.

Clear out, Captain! The big guns have arrived, sir! (he and Hardcase start firing at the Umbaran tanks)

Yeah!

Look out! Whoa-ha-ha!

Take that! Whoo-hoo!

Yeah! Whoo! That's the stuff!

Yeah-hoo!

Way to go, Fives!

Yeah! (laughs)

That a boy, Hardcase! Whoo!

All right, let's bring 'em home.

You wanted to see them, sir?

Pong Krell

Indeed. It seems they have accomplished a very brave act. Unfortunately, they’ve also committed a serious crime by directly disobeying my order.

With all due respect, sir, the order to attack the cargo vessel was mine. If there's a punishment to be given, it should be directed toward me. I'm their commanding officer.

General, sir, Captain Rex is attempting to take the blame for actions that were clearly mine.

Fives!

I request that his admission of guilt be denied and full blame placed upon me.

Pong Krell

Oh, do you? You willfully countermand my direct order, and now you have the audacity to request who should bear the punishment of your insurrection!? (To Captain Rex) Let me be clear about the punishment for the treason committed by ARC Trooper 5555 and CT-5597: they will be court-martialed, they will be found guilty, and they will be executed! Make no mistake. For crossing me, you will pay the price.

We can't turn back now. (removes missile from his ship and jumps out) Cover me!

Hardcase, get back in your ship!

Trust me, I've got a plan. (readies to blow up reactor with missile) This is for the 501st! Don't wait for me!

Hardcase, no!

You've disobeyed enough orders today, sir. Follow this one: Get out of here!

If I know Hardcase, we'd better leave! (Fives and Jesse pilot their starfighters out of ship)

(while smiling and colliding the missile with the reactor) Live to fight another day, boys, live to fight another day. (explosion occurs, destroying the supply ship)

It is not our call. We are part of something larger. We're not independent of one another.

I'm sorry. I cannot just follow orders when I know they're wrong. Especially when lives are at stake.

You will if you support the system we fight for.

I do support it. I do! But I am not just another number! None of us are!

Never thought we'd go out this way.

Aim.

Wait! This is wrong and we all know it! The general is making a mistake, and he needs to be called on it. No clone should have to go out this way! We're loyal soldiers! We follow orders, but we are not a bunch of unthinking droids! We are men! We must be trusted to make the right decisions! Especially when the orders we are given are wrong!

[ignores Fives] Fire!

What... What happened?

They're doing the right thing, Dogma. Because if this is how soldiers are rewarded for heroic actions, then one day, every man in this battalion may face a similar fate. Take off their binders.

No! We have orders! We have to go through with this!

Good luck finding anyone to do it.

Captain, we've repaired the transmitter. It looks like it was sabotaged. We've received a message from General Kenobi. His forces have captured the capital, but the remaining Umbarans are heading here.

Get everyone on the perimeter! We need to prepare for a full-scale attack.

[salutes] Yes, sir. [leaves]

Krell sabotaged the transmitter. He’s been against us from the beginning.

If the Umbarans get to him, he'll turn over all our intel-- the defense codes, everything. He'll strike a crippling blow to the Republic.

Something has to be done. We can't risk the possibility that he might escape.

As long as Krell's alive, he's a threat to every one of us.

[pauses] I agree.

General Kenobi’s battalions have routed the last holdouts of Umbarans, and we’ve secured all sectors. We did it. We took Umbara.

What's the point of all this? I mean, why?

I don't know, sir. I don't think anybody knows. But I do know that someday this war is gonna end.

Then what? We're soldiers. What happens to us then?

General Skywalker, thank you. Thank you for trusting me. Now, have you come without troops?

Anakin Skywalker

We have.

Put down your weapons, then!

Anakin Skywalker

I don't think so, Fives.

Please, sir, please. I'm unarmed.

(after Anakin sheaths his lightsaber) Alright, I'm putting my pistols down. (sets pistols down)

Anakin Skywalker

What are we here for, Fives?

I need your help.

Anakin Skywalker

I know you do. We know you're not well. It's been rough for you these past couple days.

I'm not crazy! Please, please--just, just--hear what I have to say.

Anakin Skywalker

We're here to help you, Fives, just come with us. Let us take you back to the temple. (Fives suddenly traps them in a ray shield) No!!

I just need you to listen to me, please!

Anakin Skywalker

I'm not really sure we have any other choice!

I was framed, because I know the truth! The truth about a plot, a massive deception.

By whom?

Well, there's a sinister plot in the works against the Jedi! I have proof of it! I can prove that everything I know is true beyond the shadow of a doubt!

Anakin Skywalker

Show me the evidence!

The evidence, is, (points to his head) in here, it's--it's in here, it's in all of us, every clone!

What is it?

Organic chips, built into our genetic code to make us do whatever someone wants, even kill the Jedi! It's all in here!

Anakin Skywalker

Let's just get you some help first, then we can review everything. You'll be okay, Fives. We'll sort this out.

AH, YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME!!!!!

Fives, we are listening to you. We only want to help.

How do I know you're not tricking me? How do I know it won't be a trap!? The chancellor will try to kill me! I promise you that!

Anakin Skywalker

The Chancellor?

He's in on it! I don't know to what extent, but I know he orchestrated much of this. He told me in the medical bay!

Anakin Skywalker

He told you, when you tried to assassinate him!? You have gone too far, Fives, the Chancellor is incapable of what you claim.

He is! I swear to you, General, you have no idea--

(come out of shadows with shock troopers) Stand down, soldier! Stand down! Get on your knees!

No, no, no! Stay back! (looks at Rex's gun)

Don't do it! Don't do it, soldier!

GET AWAY FROM ME!!!!!!!!!! (grabs and aims pistol)

Fives, no!

Fives! Fives! Fives...

Anakin Skywalker

Get this ray shield off! (a soldier shoots the ray shield; Rex attends to Fives)

Fives, brother. (to shock troopers) Call for help, we need a medic!

Rex.

Fives.

This, it's...bigger than any of us. Than anything I could have imagined. I never meant to....I only wanted to do my duty. (begins dying)

Brother, Fives. Stay with me, Fives. Fives!

The mission....the nightmares...they're...finally...over.... (dies in Rex's arms)

Fives, no, Fives, come on, Fives. Don't go, stay with me, stay with me, Fives. Fives! Don't go. No. Oh, no. [Commander Fox and his shock troopers remove their helmets and circle around him and Anakin]
