- Narrator: A diplomatic mission! As dissent threatens to tear apart the peaceful Mandalore system, Duchess Satine struggles to protect her people against the escalating violence. Betrayed by two of her trusted allies, Satine now travels to Coruscant. There, she hopes to convince the Senate that a destructive splinter group, Death Watch, does not represent the entire Mandalorian government.
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: You should turn yourself in. We have both sworn a loyalty to the Republic.
- Duchess Satine Kryze: Believe me, neither one of us is breaking our oath. And this will prove it.
- [hands him a recording disc]
- Duchess Satine Kryze: I need to get it into the proper hands.
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: Things are changing. And sometimes the line between friend and foe is blurred. Now more than ever.
- Count Dooku: With your Death Watch army in place, now all we need do is to sit and wait.
- Pre Vizsla: [via hologram] Bur for how long? My men are anxious to fight.
- Count Dooku: Considering the plot we have just set in motion, I assure you, the republic will oblige you the fight you are looking for.
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: Rushing in like this, it's... it's foolhardy.
- Duchess Satine Kryze: Ironic words from a man who spends his days running hither and yon, wielding his lightsaber with deadly force as if on a crusade! Why should I listen to someone who so frequently relies on violence? In my opinion, you're the one who's foolhardy.
- Duchess Satine Kryze: Perhaps if more citizens got hysterical, they'd be more inclined to speak up when the Republic tramples on its rights!
- Duchess Satine Kryze: If the Republic gets involved in our affairs, it will only lead to further violence. Thus I shall reassert our position of neutrality.
- Mas Amedda: [scoffs] Talk of an idealist!
- Duchess Satine Kryze: No, those are the words of a pacifist, and a people who have chosen non-violent action.
- Chancellor Palpatine: Let us commit our military might to defending the Mandalorian people.
- Duchess Satine Kryze: Defending? You mean to occupy our home. You would trample our right to self-determination.
- Chancellor Palpatine: We mean to save your people.
- Duchess Satine Kryze: You will turn our planet into a military target, which will bring the war to us. Mandalore must remain a neutral system.
