General Krell, Fives and others in “Unfinished Business”

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.

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.
