TV show quotes
All platoons are reported in, General.
Get some rest.
Thank you, sir. I'm fine.
The General is giving you an order, Dogma.
Of course, sir! (walks away)
He's wound tight, but he's loyal.
He kinda reminds me of you.
Maybe, back in the day.
General Krell's here?
Something big must be going on.
Master Krell, my thanks for the air support.
Indeed, General Skywalker. The locals have proven to be more resourceful than we anticipated.
But that's not the reason for your visit.
No. The Council has ordered you back to Coruscant, effective immediately.
What? Why?
I'm afraid a request was made by the Supreme Chancellor, and the Council obliged. That is all they would tell me.
Well, I can't just leave my men!
I'll be taking over in the interim.
Don't worry about a thing, sir. We'll have the city under Republic control by the time you're back.
Master Krell, this is Rex, my first in command. You won't find a finer or more loyal trooper anywhere.
Good to hear that. I wish you well, Skywalker.
Your reputation precedes you, General. It is an honor to be serving you.
I find it very interesting, Captain, that you are able to recognize the value of honor, for a clone. Stand at attention when I address you. [Rex gets at attention] Your flattery is duly noted, but it will not be rewarded. There's a reason my command is so effective. And it's because I do things by the book. and that includes protocol. Have all platoons ready to move out immediately. That is all.
Time and rest are luxuries the Republic can't afford. We are the key to this invasion. The other battalions are counting on our support! If we fail, everyone fails! Do you understand this?! (turns to Rex's troops) Do all of you understand this?! Now move on!
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!
Don't stray too far, the enemy could have the whole area rigged with traps.
I can't even see the enemy!
That's why they're called the shadow people, Tup!
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.
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.
[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.
[seeing his troops retreat from the Umbaran tanks] What are they doing? [contacts Captain Rex] Captain, continue your attack!
Sir, we're overpowered! We need reinforcements!
The rest of the battalion is holding the entrance to the gorge, Captain. They're guarding it so your troops can break through to the airbase.
Sir, we can't possibly--
You must stand your ground! Do you read me?! Captain! Are you listening?! Do not fall back! That is an order!
CT-7567, where are you?
General Krell, we’ve come up with a plan to infiltrate the airbase.
What is your plan?
I've dispatched two men on a stealth incursion into the airbase. They've been ordered to co-opt starfighters and use them against the tanks.
You what?! You put this entire assault on your hope that two clones can do what your entire group could not?!
Sir, the rocket launchers don't work on these tanks, and it'll be easier to slip by undetected while the rest of us keep the tanks occupied.
Captain! You will launch a full-forward strike immediately! Or you will be relieved of duty!
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.
