• Obi-Wan : Why do I get the feeling you're going to be the death of me?

  Anakin : Don't say that, master. You're the closest thing I have to a father.

• [last lines] 

  Obi-Wan : I have to admit that without the clones, it would have not been a victory.

  Yoda : Victory? Victory you say? Master Obi-Wan, not victory. The shroud of the dark side has fallen. Begun the Clone War has.

• [while chasing Padme's assassin, Obi-Wan and Anakin track her to a nightclub] 

  Obi-Wan Kenobi : Why do I get the feeling you're going to be the death of me?

  Anakin Skywalker : Don't say that Master... You're the closest thing I have to a father... I love you. I don't want to cause you pain.

  Obi-Wan Kenobi : Then why don't you listen to me?

  Anakin Skywalker : I try, Master.

  Obi-Wan Kenobi : Can you see him?

  Anakin Skywalker : I think he's a she... and I think she's a Changeling.

  Obi-Wan Kenobi : In that case be extra careful. Go and find her.

  [He heads towards the bar] 

  Anakin Skywalker : Where are you going, Master?

  Obi-Wan Kenobi : For a drink.

  [while Anakin searches the nightclub for the assassin, Obi-Wan sits down at the counter, and the dealer to his right turns to him] 

  Elan Sleazebaggano : You wanna buy some death-sticks?

  [Obi-Wan executes the Jedi Mind Trick] 

  Obi-Wan Kenobi : You don't want to sell me death sticks.

  Elan Sleazebaggano : Ah, I don't want to sell you death sticks.

  Obi-Wan Kenobi : You want to go home and rethink your life.

  Elan Sleazebaggano : I want to go home and rethink my life.

  [Elan leaves. The assassin closes in on Obi-Wan, but just before she can shoot him, he turns around and uses his lightsaber to cut off her arm. Anakin is suddenly at Obi-Wan's side] 

  Anakin Skywalker : Easy... Jedi business. Go back to your drinks.

• Count Dooku : What if I told you that the Republic was now under the control of a dark lord of the Sith?

  Obi-Wan : No, that's not possible. The Jedi would sense it.

  Count Dooku : The Dark Side has clouded their vision. Hundreds of senators are now under the influence of a Sith lord called Darth Sidious.

  Obi-Wan : I don't believe you.

• Obi-Wan : What took you so long?

  Anakin : Well, you know, Master, I couldn't find a speeder that I really liked...

  Obi-Wan : There he is.

  Anakin : ...with an open cockpit and the right speed capabilities.

  Obi-Wan : If you spent as much time practicing your saber techniques as you did your wit, you'd rival Master Yoda as a swordsman.

  Anakin : I thought I already did.

  Obi-Wan : Only in your mind, my very young apprentice.

• Yoda : [Yoda is training children to be Jedi at the Jedi Temple. Obi-Wan comes in and explains he's looking for a planet]  Mmm. Lost a planet, Master Obi-Wan has. How embarrassing. How embarrassing. Find it, we will try.

  Obi-Wan : [Pointing to a spot in the star hologram]  This is where it ought to be, but it isn't. Gravity is pulling all the stars in this area inward to this spot. There should be a star here, but there isn't.

  Yoda : Most interesting. Gravity's silhouette remains, but the star and all its planets have disappeared. How can this be?

  J.K. Burtola : [One of the children raises his hand]  Because someone erased it from the archive memory.

  Jedi Bear Clan : [All of the children]  That's right! Yes! That's what happened! Someone erased it!

  Mari Amithest : If the planet blew up, the gravity would go away.

  Yoda : Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is. Uncluttered. To the center of the pull of gravity go, and find your planet you will.

  Obi-Wan : But Master Yoda, who could have erased information from the archives? That's impossible, isn't it?

  Yoda : [Frowning]  Much harder to answer, that question is.

• [while pursuing Count Dooku, a laserblast knocks Padme out of the gunship] 

  Anakin : PADME!

  [to pilot] 

  Anakin : Put the ship down!

  Obi-Wan : Anakin! Don't let your personal feelings get in the way!

  [to pilot] 

  Obi-Wan : Follow that speeder.

  Anakin : Lower the ship!

  Obi-Wan : I can't take Dooku alone! I need you! If we catch him, we can end this war right now! We have a job to do!

  Anakin : I don't care! Put the ship down!

  Obi-Wan : You will be expelled from the Jedi order!

  Anakin : I CAN'T LEAVE HER!

  Obi-Wan : COME TO YOUR SENSES! What do you think Padme would do were she in your position?

  Anakin : [pause]  She would do her duty.

• Obi-Wan Kenobi : Captain Typho has more than enough men downstairs. No assassin will try that way. Any activity up here?

  Anakin Skywalker : Quiet as a tomb. I don't like just waiting here for something to happen to her.

  [Obi-Wan checks a palm-sized view scanner he has pulled out of his utility belt. It views R2D2, over by the door, but no sign of Padme's bed] 

  Obi-Wan Kenobi : What's going on?

  Anakin Skywalker : [shrugs]  She covered the cameras. I don't think she liked me watching her.

  Obi-Wan Kenobi : What is she thinking?

  Anakin Skywalker : She programmed R2 to warn us if there's an intruder.

  Obi-Wan Kenobi : It's not an intruder I'm worried about. There are many other ways to kill a Senator.

  Anakin Skywalker : I know, but we also want to catch this assassin. Don't we, Master?

  Obi-Wan Kenobi : You're using her as bait?

  Anakin Skywalker : It was her idea... Don't worry, no harm will come to her. I can sense everything going on in that room. Trust me.

  Obi-Wan Kenobi : It's too risky... besides, your senses aren't that attuned, young apprentice.

  Anakin Skywalker : And yours are?

  Obi-Wan Kenobi : Possibly.

  [Cuts to a shot of Zam Wesell loading a probe droid and dispatching it. When it cuts back, Anakin and Obi-Wan have moved their conversation to the balcony] 

  Obi-Wan Kenobi : You look tired.

  Anakin Skywalker : I don't sleep well anymore.

  Obi-Wan Kenobi : Because of your mother?

  Anakin Skywalker : I don't know why I keep dreaming about her now. I haven't seen her since I was little.

  Obi-Wan Kenobi : Dreams pass in time.

  Anakin Skywalker : I'd rather dream of Padmé. Just being around her again is... intoxicating.

  Obi-Wan Kenobi : Be mindful of your thoughts, Anakin, they betray you. You've made a commitment to the Jedi Order... a commitment not easily broken... and don't forget she's a politician. They're not to be trusted.

  [the probe droid cuts a hole into Padme's window. R2 awakens, but when he sees no alarm, he shuts off] 

  Anakin Skywalker : She's not like the others in the Senate, Master.

  Obi-Wan Kenobi : It's been my experience that Senators are only focused on pleasing those who fund their campaigns... and they are more than willing to forget the niceties of democracy to get those funds.

  Anakin Skywalker : Not another lecture, Master. Not on the economics of politics...

  [They return to the main room] 

  Anakin Skywalker : ... and besides, you're generalizing. The Chancellor doesn't appear to be corrupt.

  Obi-Wan Kenobi : Palpatine's a politician. I've observed that he is very clever at following the passions and prejudices of the Senators.

  [R2 sounds an alarm as the poisonous Kohuns get within inches of Padme's face] 

  Anakin Skywalker : I think he is a good man. My instincts are very positive about...

  [He stops] 

  Obi-Wan Kenobi : I sense it, too.

  [They move and quickly kill the Kohuns] 

• Yoda : The council is confident in its decision, Obi-Wan.

  Mace Windu : The boy has exceptional skills.

  Obi-Wan : But he still has much to learn, Master. His abilities have made him... well arrogant.

  Yoda : Yes. Yes. A flaw more and more common among Jedi. Too sure of themselves they are. Even the older, more experienced ones.

• Anakin : If you'll excuse me Master.

  [Anakin jumps out of the speeder] 

  Obi-Wan : I hate it when he does that.

• Anakin : You're going to pay for all the Jedi that you killed today, Dooku.

  Obi-Wan : We'll take him together. You go in slowly on the left...

  Anakin : No, I'm taking him NOW!

  Obi-Wan : No Anakin, NO!

• Anakin : You're the closest thing I have to a father.

  Obi-Wan : Then why don't you listen to me?

• Obi-Wan : Just relax, concentrate.

  Anakin : What about Padme?

  Obi-Wan : She seems to be on top of things.

• Obi-Wan : [returning Anakin's lightsaber]  This weapon is your life.

• Elan Sleazebaggano : You wanna buy some death sticks?

  Obi-Wan : [using a Jedi Mind Trick]  You don't want to sell me death sticks.

  Elan Sleazebaggano : Uh, I don't want to sell you death sticks.

  Obi-Wan : You want to go home and rethink your life.

  Elan Sleazebaggano : I want to go home and rethink my life.

• Obi-Wan : I was beginning to wonder if you'd got my message.

  Anakin : I retransmitted it to Coruscant, just as you'd requested, Master. Then we decided to come and rescue you.

  Obi-Wan : [looks at his handcuffed hands]  Good job.

• [to Obi-Wan] 

  Count Dooku : As you can see, my Jedi powers are far beyond yours. Now, back down.

  [shoots Sith lighting at Obi-Wan who blocks it with his lightsaber] 

  Obi-Wan : I don't think so.

• Obi-Wan : I hope he doesn't try anything foolish.

  Captain Typho : I'd be more concerned about *her* doing something than him.

• Obi-Wan : Your clones are very impressive. You must be very proud.

• Count Dooku : You must join me, Obi-Wan, and together we will destroy the Sith!

  Obi-Wan : I will never join you.

• Obi-Wan : These Kaminos, are they friendly?

  Dexter Jettster : That depends.

  Obi-Wan : Depends on what Dex?

  Dexter Jettster : On how well your manners are, and how big your pocketbook is.

• Dexter Jettster : This baby belongs to them cloners. What you got here is a Kamino Saberdart.

  Obi-Wan : I wonder why it didn't show up in the analysis archives.

  Dexter Jettster : It's these funny little cuts on the side that give it away. Those analysis droids only focus on symbols. Huh! I should think that you Jedi would have more respect for the difference between knowledge and... heh heh heh... wisdom.

  Obi-Wan : Well if droids could think, there'd be none of us here, would there?

• Obi-Wan : Ever make your way as far into the interior as Coruscant?

  Jango Fett : Once or twice.

  Obi-Wan : Recently?

  Jango Fett : Possibly.

• [In the speeder, while chasing the assassin] 

  Obi-Wan : You know I don't like it when you do that.

  Anakin : Sorry, master. I forgot that you don't like flying.

  Obi-Wan : I don't mind flying, but what you're doing is suicide.

• Jango Fett : Do you like your army?

  Obi-Wan Kenobi : I look forward to seeing them in action.

  Jango Fett : They'll do their job well. I'll guarantee that.

• Obi-Wan : Anakin, may the force be with you.

  Anakin : May the force be with you, Master.

• Obi-Wan : Anakin, how many times have I told you to stay away from the power couplings.

• Anakin : She went into the club, master.

  Obi-Wan : Patience. Use the force. Think.

• Obi-Wan : Blast. This is why I hate flying.

• Count Dooku : May I ask why a Jedi Knight is all the way out here on Geonosis?

  Obi-Wan : I'm tracking a bounty hunter named Jango Fett. Do you know him?

  Count Dooku : There are no bounty hunters here that I am aware of. The Geonosians don't trust them.

• [as he realizes the man he just pushed off a building is still attached to him] 

  Obi-Wan : Oh, not good.

• Obi-Wan : You're sweating.

• Obi-Wan : Well that's Anakin's tracking signal, all right. But it's coming from Tatooine. What the blazes is he doing there? I told him to stay on Naboo.

• Obi-Wan : It's a great pleasure to see you again, milady.

  Padme : It has been far too long, Master Kenobi. Ani? My goodness you've grown.

  Anakin : So have you. Grown more beautiful, I mean. Well, for a Senator I mean.

• Obi-Wan : [Jocasta Nu asks Obi-Wan if he's having a problem]  Yes, I'm trying to find a planet system called Kamino. It doesn't seem to show upon any of the archive charts.

  Madame Jocasta Nu : Kamino? It's not a system I'm familiar with. Let me see.

  Madame Jocasta Nu : Are you sure you have the right co-ordinates?

  Obi-Wan : According to my information, it should be in this quadrant somewhere, just south of the Rishi Maze.

  Madame Jocasta Nu : No co-ordinates? It sounds like the kind of directions you'd get from a street tout, some old miner or Furbog trader.

  Obi-Wan : All three actually.

  Madame Jocasta Nu : Are you sure it exists?

  Obi-Wan : Absolutely.

  Madame Jocasta Nu : Let me do a gravitational scan.

  [They study the star hologram] 

  Madame Jocasta Nu : There are some inconsistencies here. Maybe the planet you're looking for was destroyed.

  Obi-Wan : Wouldn't that be on record?

  Madame Jocasta Nu : It ought to be. Unless it was very recent.

  [She shakes her head] 

  Madame Jocasta Nu : I hate to say it, but it looks like the system you're searching for doesn't exist.

  Obi-Wan : That's impossible. Perhaps the archives are incomplete.

  Madame Jocasta Nu : The archives are comprehensive and totally secure, my young Jedi. One thing you may be absolutely sure of - if an item does not appear in our records, it does not exist!

• Obi-Wan : Be mindful of your thoughts Anakin. They'll betray you.

• Obi-Wan : You have made a commitment to the Jedi order, a commitment not easily broken.

• Obi-Wan : Where are you going? He went that way!

  Anakin : Master, if we keep this chase going any longer that creep is gonna end up deep fried. And personally, I'd very much like to find out who he is, and who he's working for. This is a short cut... I think.

  Obi-Wan : Well, you've lost him!

• Obi-Wan : Anakin, don't do anything without consulting either myself or the Council.

• Anakin : I've heard this lesson before.

  Obi-Wan : You haven't learned anything, Anakin.

• [after Obi-Wan injures Zam inside the Night Club, Anakin and Obi-Wan drag her out into the alley to interrogate her] 

  Obi-Wan Kenobi : Do you know who it was you were trying to kill?

  Zam Wesell : It was a Senator from Naboo.

  Obi-Wan Kenobi : And who hired you?

  Zam Wesell : It was just a job.

  Anakin Skywalker : Who hired you? Tell us.

  [Zam stays silent; Anakin raises his tone with anger] 

  Anakin Skywalker : Tell us now!

  Zam Wesell : It was a bounty hunter called...

  [Zam is suddenly shot in the neck by a toxic dart; Anakin and Obi-Wan see a "rocket-man" take off and fly away, and Zam dies] 

• Obi-Wan : They are using a bounty hunter named Jango Fett to create a clone army.

• Count Dooku : Geonosians don't trust bounty hunters.

  Obi-Wan : Well, who can blame them?

• Obi-Wan : I will never join you, Dooku.

  Count Dooku : It may be difficult to secure your release.

• Obi-Wan : And don't forget, she's a politician, and they're *not* to be trusted.

• Obi-Wan : Do you believe what Dooku said about this 'Darth Sidious' controlling the senate? It doesn't feel right.

  Yoda : Joined the Dark Side Dooku has. Lies, deceit, creating mistrust are his ways now.

• Obi-Wan : You look tired.

  Anakin : I haven't had much sleep of late.

  Obi-Wan : Because of your mother?

  [Anakin nods] 

  Obi-Wan : ...Dreams pass in time.

• Anakin Skywalker : [as he and Obi-Wan come running to Count Dooku]  You're gonna pay for all the Jedi that you killed today, Dooku.

  Obi-Wan : We'll take him together.

  Anakin Skywalker : You go slowly while I take him now!

  [runs toward Dooku] 

  Obi-Wan : No! Anakin, no! No!

  [Dooku electrifies Anakin with his hands] 

  Count Dooku : [to Obi-Wan]  As you see, my Jedi powers are far beyond yours. Now, back up.

  [tries to electrify Obi-Wan, who blocks the electricity with his lightsaber] 

  Obi-Wan : I don't think so.

  [Dooku ignites lightsaber and fights] 

  Count Dooku : Master Kenobi, you disappoint me. Yoda holds you in such high esteem.

  [fights more] 

  Count Dooku : Surely you can do better!

• Obi-Wan Kenobi : [deleted scene; Obi-Wan and Mace are walking along the Jedi Landing Platform]  It appears someone doesn't want us to know about this Kamino System.

  Mace Windu : Which means there's something happening in their System we should know about.

  [pause] 

  Obi-Wan Kenobi : Master, do you think a Jedi could have erased those files?

  Mace Windu : I hope not.

  [they walk over to Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter] 

  Mace Windu : This disturbance in the Force is making it hard to get a sense of things.

  [the small platform they are on with Obi-Wan's Starfighter moves outside] 

  Mace Windu : [pause] 

  Obi-Wan Kenobi : I'm concerned with my Padawan. He is not ready to be on his own.

  Mace Windu : If the prophesy is true, he is the one who will bring balance to the Force.

  Obi-Wan Kenobi : But he still has much to learn. His skills have made him, well, arrogant. I realize now what you and Master Yoda said from the beginning, the boy was too old to start his training. Master we should not be given this assignment. I fear Anakin will not be able to protect the Senator.

  Mace Windu : Why?

  Obi-Wan Kenobi : He has an emotional connection with her. It's been there since he was a boy. Now he's confused. Distracted.

  Mace Windu : Obi-Wan, you must have faith that he will choose the right path.

  Obi-Wan Kenobi : [bows his head]  Yes, Master.

  [gets into his Starfighter and takes off] 

• Taun We : Remember, if you want to order more soldiers it will take time to grow them.

  Obi-Wan Kenobi : I won't forget, thankyou!

  Taun We : [strokes her neck as he leaves] 

• Obi-Wan Kenobi : Qui-Gon Jinn would never join you.

  Count Dooku : Don't be so sure, my young Jedi. You forget that he was once my apprentice, just as you were once his.

• Obi-Wan Kenobi : You know I don't like it when you do that!

  Anakin Skywalker : Sorry, Master. I forgot you don't like flying.

  Obi-Wan Kenobi : I don't mind flying, but what *you're* doing is suicide!
