Captain Tarkin quotes from Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Captain Tarkin

I reserve my trust for those who take action, General Skywalker.

Anakin Skywalker

Then let me remind you, we rescued you back there and I reserve my trust for those who understand gratitude, Captain Tarkin.

Anakin Skywalker

Captain Tarkin, haven't you learned to trust me by now?

Captain Tarkin

You may have learned my trust, General Skywalker, but my faith in your comrades is still lacking.

Anakin Skywalker

You lack faith in the Jedi.

Captain Tarkin

I find their tactics ineffective. The Jedi code prevents them from going far enough to achieve victory, to do whatever it takes to win, the very reason why peacekeepers should not be leading a war. Have I offended you?

Anakin Skywalker

No. I've also found that we sometimes fall short of victory because of our methods.

Captain Tarkin

I see we agree on something.

Anakin Skywalker

You know, it's not wise to argue with Master Piell. It's certainly not a good career move.

Captain Tarkin

General Skywalker, I stand by my principles, no matter what. Besides, I needn't worry about my career. I've fallen into favor with the Chancellor. He shall support me.

Anakin Skywalker

Oh. I happen to know the Chancellor quite well, myself.

Captain Tarkin

Oh, really?

Anakin Skywalker

Really.

Captain Tarkin

A job well done, General Skywalker. I wish more Jedi had your military sensibilities. Perhaps I can inform the Chancellor of your valor.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

I'm not sure what to think of your new ally.

Anakin Skywalker

I think we need people like him. This is a war. If we aren't willing to do what it takes to win, we risk losing everything we try to protect.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

Unfortunately, war tends to distort our point of view. If we sacrifice our code, even for victory, we may lose that which is most important, our honor.
