I have to report to the Jedi council.
SPSenator Padmé Amidala
Right now?
Actually, about seven clicks ago. If I keep delaying, Obi-Wan will send a clone squad to find me. I've been ducking his signals all night.
SPSenator Padmé Amidala
[Sighs] I understand.
I can sense that you're angry.
SPSenator Padmé Amidala
Don't think that you can read my mind.
Padmé, you shouldn't take this personally. Duty comes first, especially in wartime.
Someone has to find out the truth.
Someone does. Just not you.
SPSenator Padmé Amidala
Why not me?
Because it's going to be dangerous. Whoever takes this mission will be putting their life at risk.
SPSenator Padmé Amidala
I've been in many tough situations before. It never seemed to bother you. I've never stopped you from facing danger. You're constantly getting shot at.
I've been trained for that. It's very different from spying on a traitor.
SPSenator Padmé Amidala
You mean I can't handle the mission.
I mean, I'm not going to let you do it.
SPSenator Padmé Amidala
You're not going to let me? It's not your decision to make. It's mine.
Lucky for us, you've already decided to refuse.
SPSenator Padmé Amidala
Actually, I just changed my mind. You've convinced me that it's vital to learn what Clovis is doing. I accept the mission to spy on him.
Even though I'm telling you not to?
SPSenator Padmé Amidala
Don't take it personally, Anakin. Duty comes first, especially in wartime.
Sorry, Master. Ahsoka and I were busy routing the Seppies near Dorin.
My squadron alone had 55 kills.
[rolls her eyes] Show-off.
Well, I'm glad to see you two are enjoying yourselves.
Hey, it's just a little friendly competition, Master. Nothing to worry about.
Look at that giant wall with all the gun emplacements. That won't be easy to get past.
Don't worry, we're not going anywhere near that.
Come, now. What happened to all the enthusiasm I saw earlier?
Don't worry about us. You just make sure you get yourself to that landing zone in one piece.
Yes, I shall be waiting for you, when you finally arrive.
Well, this is another fine mess you've gotten us into.
What? Hey, it's not my fault. You were supposed to study the holomaps.
I did! Remember when I reminded you about the giant wall, and you said, "Don't worry, Snips, we won't be anywhere near that."
[throws the backpack to the droid] Catch!
[catches the backpack] Huh? Wha--? [Anakin Force-pushes him down as Ahsoka throws in the other backpack] No!
Up and away. [Anakin and Ahsoka uses the Force to throw Rex up into the air before jumping off the wall. They land on the ground just in time to use the Force again to slow Rex's fall down. Anakin walks over to him and helps him up.]
Next time, just tell me to jump.
Now where's the fun in that?
So, Master, what was your total?
Come on. Are you afraid you lost this time?
Fine. 55, that's my count. And you?
Yeah, but I called in the air strike. Tie!
I'll never understand how you can simplify these battles into some kind of game.
Well, take care of yourself. I expect to see both of you back here by the time I've destroyed the main factory.
My total. 65. So, what do I win?
[exchange glances with Obi-Wan before looking back at Mundi and bowing in respect] My everlasting respect, Master Mundi.
That is a gift Anakin rarely bestows, I assure you.
