Anakin: Chancellor,
we have just received a report from Master Kenobi.
He has engaged General Grievous.
Palpatine: We can only hope that Master Kenobi is up to the challenge.
Anakin: I should be there with him.
Palpatine: It’s upseting to me that the council doesn’t seem to fully apprciate your talents. Don’t you wonder why they won’t make you a Jedi Master?
Anakin: I wish I knew. More and more I get the feeling that I’m being excluded from the council. I know there are things about the force that they’re not telling me.
Palpatine: They don’t trust you Anakin. They see your future. They know your power will be too strong to control. You must break through the fog of lies the Jedi have created around you. Let me help you to know the subtleties of the force.
Anakin: How do you know the ways of the force?
Palpatine: My mentor tought me everything about the force – even the nature of the dark side.
Anakin: You know the dark side?!
Palpatine: Anakin, if one is to understand “the great mystery” one must study all it’s aspects, not just the dogmatic narrow view of the Jedi. If you wish to become a complete and wise leader, you must embrace a larger view of the force. Be careful of the Jedi Anakin.. only through me can you achieve a power greater than any jedi! Learn to know the dark side of the force and you’ll be able to save your wife from certan death.
Anakin: What did you say?
Palpatine: Use my knowledge, I beg you!
You’re the Sith lord!
Palpatine: I know what’s been troubling you… Listen to me.
Don’t continue to be a pawn of the Jedi Council!
Ever since I’ve known you, you’ve been searching for a life greater than that of an ordinary Jedi..
a life of significance, of conscience.
Are you going to kill me?
Anakin: I would certainly like to
Palpatine: I know you would. I can feel your anger. It gives you focus, makes you stronger.
Anakin: I am going to turn you over to the Jedi Council.
Palpatine: Of course you should. But you’re not sure of their intentions, are you?
Anakin: I will quickly discover the truth of all this.
Palpatine: You have great wisdom, Anakin. Know the power of the dark side. The power to save Padme.
