Quotes 

• Chancellor Palpatine : Members of the Senate, please, please...

  Senator Aang : How dare they?

  Zion Paulness : They attack, and now they want peace?

  Padmé Amidala : Chancellor Palpatine, may I remind the senators that the peace proposal was made prior to their assault.

  Senator Aang : That only highlights its insincerity.

  Halle Burtoni : Chancellor Palpatine, in light of this unprovoked attack on Coruscant and the vulnerabilities it raises, I propose the Republic purchase an additional 5 million clone troopers.

  Bail Organa : The Republic is already operating in deep debt. How do you propose we pay for these additional troops?

  Halle Burtoni : My people are drafting an emergency appropriations bill that would raise funds...

  Padmé Amidala : From the Banking Clan?

  Halle Burtoni : Yes, of course. Do you have an alternate means of paying?

  Padmé Amidala : One alternative might be to stop the war, not escalate it.

  All Senators : Traitor! Traitor!

  Padmé Amidala : Whoever attacked the power grid wants us to continue to fight. It's a calculated attempt to destroy the peace process. Not everyone in the Confederacy wants this. I know this for a fact.

  Mee Deechi : You have Separatist friends, Senator?

• Bail Organa : If your friend met with a violent end because of her politics, let's make sure her courageous effort wasn't in vain.

  Padmé Amidala : What can we do?

  Bail Organa : For one, defeat this bill.

  Padmé Amidala : Can we really win this war with the troops that we have?

  Bail Organa : Let's hope we don't have to. I'll start lining up support, but I'll need ammunition.

  Onaconda Farr : We can't afford ammunition, remember? I joke.

  Bail Organa : Go to the Banking Clan and see how much interest they're going to change for the loan. The more I know about the exact cost of this bill will be, the better I can make my case to defeat it.

• Padmé Amidala : As long as senators are being threatened and attacked, I'm afraid we don't stand a chance.

  Bail Organa : Intimidation won't work on everyone. Senator Farr is proof of that.

  Padmé Amidala : Even so, we're still at least six votes short of a majority, and you saw how effective my plea was today.

  Bail Organa : Some minds can't be altered no matter what they hear.

  Padmé Amidala : From my experience, it depends a great deal on who's sending the message.

  Bail Organa : And what are you thinking?

  Padmé Amidala : Bail, you're the finest public speaker I know. If anyone can convince the Senate that voting for this bill will bankrupt the Republic both financially and spiritually, it's you.

  Bail Organa : It will be dangerous.

  Padmé Amidala : I urge you to speak before the full Senate.

  Bail Organa : I'll need some time to prepare.
