 | 
Anakin Skywalker: You…underestimate…my power!
| |
| 
Count Dooku: No…impossible!
| |
| 
Count Dooku: Argh! Impressive…but foolish.
Anakin Skywalker: I’ve waited a long time for this, Dooku.
| |
| 
Count Dooku: Then, you will continue to wait, for this is my day. Master Kenobi was always a novice with a light saber. I shouldn’t expect any different from you. Your technique lacks elegance and grace.
| |
| 
Count Dooku: And you lack the focus required to challenge me.
| |
| 
Anakin Skywalker: Nice try, but you missed.
Count Dooku: You still have much to learn, Skywalker. Things are not always as they seem. For all of your heroics, you lack an understanding of this.
| |
| 
Count Dooku: Don’t be a pawn for the Jedi Order. Do you really believe the Order is the path to the greatness that you so desperately seek? Your destiny lies on a different path.
| |
| 
Anakin Skywalker: What do you know of destiny, Dooku? You turned your back on the Order. You gave up everything. And for what? To be the leader of a bunch of mindless minions?
| |
| 
Count Dooku: Qui-Gon would have been so disappointed. My departure led Qui-Gon down a different path. Why do you think he was so quick to rescue you off that hideous desert planet? He was determined to prove the Prophecy of the Chosen One. If only to destroy the Jedi Order!
Anakin Skywalker: NO!! That’s not true!! I’m tired of listening to your lies!!
| |
| 
THUD!!!
Count Dooku: Perhaps you should…you might actually learn something.
Anakin Skywalker: Uhhhhhh…
| |
| 
Count Dooku: And as for you, my dear…time for you to stop meddling in our plans. Your influence on the young Skywalker is only delaying the inevitable.
Padme Amidala: No!! Leave me alone!!
| |
| 
Anakin Skywalker: Don’t you touch her!!!
| |
| 
Anakin Skywalker: Release her!!! NOW!!!
| |
| 
Count Dooku: Or what? You’ll kill me? That is not the Jedi way. At least not the way Master Kenobi has taught you.
| |
| 
Count Dooku: It is time to see through the lies of the Jedi, boy! For too long they have ruled over the Republic, allowing her to die from corruption and greed.
| |
| 
THUD!!! THUD!!!
Count Dooku: The Jedi are close-minded. If you are to restore balance, shouldn’t you have unlimited power?
| |
| 
Count Dooku: Something he may never achieve if you, my dear, continue with this feeble relationship.
| |
| 
Count Dooku: It would be in your best interest to step aside while you still can.
Anakin Skywalker: DOOKU!!!
| |
| 
THUD!
Count Dooku: What???
| |
| 
Count Dooku: Argh!!!
| |
| 
Anakin Skywalker: Your time is at an end, My Lord!!!
| |
| 
Count Dooku: Not by you, Jedi!
| |
| 
Count Dooku: My powers are far superior to yours.
| |
| 
Anakin Skywalker: Droids can’t save you, Dooku!!!
| |
| 
Count Dooku: No…but my knowledge of the Force can.
| |
| 
Count Dooku: Don’t ever turn your back to me, boy. Not only is it rude, but disrespectful.
| |
| 
Count Dooku: You always were a slow learner.
| |
| 
Count Dooku: Now do you realize you are no challenge for me?
| |
| 
Count Dooku: The “Chosen One” could not be defeated so easily by an old man. Perhaps if you had a stronger teacher…
| |
| 
Count Dooku: Give my regards to Master Yoda. He will be very interested in our little meeting.
| |
| 
Count Dooku: Don’t worry, my dear. He’ll be alright. It is your future you should be concerned about.
Padme Amidala: Get your hands off of me! You will never win this War, Dooku. No matter what you do, the Republic will always stand!
| |
| 
Count Dooku: Don’t be too proud of this Republic, Senator. It grows weaker by the day. I bid you both a Good Night.
| |
| 
Count Dooku: And you can keep my…gifts…as tokens of my appreciation for this evening.
| |
| 
| |
| 
Count Dooku: I have concluded my business here. Let’s go.
| |
| 
Count Dooku: My Master will be pleased with tonight’s events.
