Quotes 

• Anakin Skywalker : Here's where the fun begins. Hang on!

• Padmé Amidala : You're supposed to be helping. Who's side are you on anyway?

  Anakin Skywalker : Yours, but... you must admit, the Chancellor makes some good points.

• Anakin Skywalker : Not that it isn't a pleasure, Senator, but I thought I was just meeting with Obi-Wan here.

  Padmé Amidala : Master Kenobi explained the problem. I'm here to help.

  Anakin Skywalker : Problem? What problem?

  Obi-Wan Kenobi : The situation with our friend from Malastare.

  Anakin Skywalker : Uh-huh. I see what's going on here. You think I could influence the Chancellor.

  Padmé Amidala : The Zillo Beast was chained up and brought here against its will. It has no voice to defend itself. Anakin, we have to be that voice.

  Anakin Skywalker : [chuckles]  You haven't seen it in action. You have no idea what it's capable of.

  Padmé Amidala : It's what we're capable of that frightens me. A creature's life, maybe even an entire species, is at stake. Doesn't that at least warrant a discussion?

  Anakin Skywalker : [sighs]  I didn't think you'd feel so strongly about it. All right, let's speak to the Chancellor. But I still don't like this.

• Chancellor Palpatine : I should have known secrets do not stay secret for long around here.

  Padmé Amidala : Isn't that precisely the point of a democracy?

  Anakin Skywalker : Of course, in wartime, some things must be kept secret, even from the people, so as not to aid the enemy.

  Mas Amedda : It is unfortunate that the beast must die, Senator. But the greater good demands it.

  Padmé Amidala : How is killing the last of a species, in secret and without debate, good for anyone?

• Chancellor Palpatine : I should have known secrets do not stay secret for long around here.

  Mas Amedda : Isn't that precisely the point of a democracy?

  Anakin Skywalker : Of course, in wartime, some things must be kept secret, even from the people, so as not to aid the enemy.

  Padmé Amidala : It is unfortunate that the beast must die, Senator. But the greater good demands it.
