The following is a list of quotes from the third season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

Clone cadets [3.01]

Brothers in arms are brothers for life.

ARC Troopers [3.02]

Fighting a war tests a soldier's skills, defending his home tests a soldier's heart.

General Grievous: Your skills are impressive. Perhaps a match for my own, assassin.

Asajj Ventress: Count Dooku may have taught you how to swing a lightsaber, General, but that hardly makes you my equal.

General Grievous: And yet, I am the general in charge of this assault. Remember assassin, you're to recover the clone DNA.

Asajj Ventress: Why not just destroy it?

General Grievous: Because the DNA could unlock new possibilities for us.

Asajj Ventress: Keep playing with your droids. I'll handle breaking into the DNA room.

General Grievous: (grabs Ventress' wrist) Shall I provide you with a droid escort?

Asajj Ventress: (wraps fingers around Grievous' respirator) My dear general, there's nothing (lets fingers slide off Grievous' respirator and slowly begins to leave) you have that I could want.

General Grievous: Get those doors open and scare the remaining clones out of hiding.

General Grievous: All too easy.

Obi-Wan: Define "easy", General.

General Grievous: Kenobi.

Clone Cadet: But our training's not finished!

Fives: Look around, we're one and the same! Same heart, same blood, and my blood is boiling for a fight.

Echo: This is our home, this is our war.

Clone Cadet: But what about weapons?

99: The...armory. It's just a few corridors away, I can get everything we need. So, who's ready to blast some droids?

Supply lines [3.03]

Where there's a will, there's a way.

Ima-Gun Di: (As the Twi'leks are escaping) FOR THE REPUBLIC!!! FOR THE TWI'LEKS!!!

Ima-Gun Di: Captain Keeli!

Captain Keeli: I'm not finished yet sir. We can do this General! (both continue to fight while being surrounded).

Ima-Gun Di: Let's make the end memorable! (Captain Keeli gets shot, so does Ima-Gun Di)

Blockade Runner Dispatcher: This is blockade runner 09er-9er, we have broken through.

Ima-Gun Di: (after seeing the dropship) The Twi'leks will live to fight another day. AHHH!!! (gets shot several times)

Sphere of influence [3.04]

A child stolen is a hope lost.

Corruption [3.05]

The challenge of hope is to overcome corruption.

The Academy [3.06]

Those who enforce the law must obey the law.

Prime Minister: Because of Master Kenobi's recent visit and the trouble that followed, no offworlders may carry weapons on Mandalore.

Ahsoka Tano: Master Obi-Wan caused trouble? That's a first.

Anakin Skywalker: [Sighs] Just give me the lightsaber. [Ahsoka hands Anakin her lightsaber]

Anakin Skywalker: I hope this assignment wasn't too boring for you.

Ahsoka Tano: Eh, it had its moments.

Anakin Skywalker: Huh, like the one here you convinced untrained children to help you overthrow a corrupt government? [Pulls out Ahsoka's lightsaber and flips it in the air and catches it, then hands it to her]

Ahsoka Tano: That was a highlight. [Takes her lightsaber from Anakin]

Anakin Skywalker: It sounds pretty risky. You're lucky you didn't get hurt.

Ahsoka Tano: Nothing you wouldn't have done.

Assassin [3.07]

The future has many paths - choose wisely.

Ahsoka Tano: I can't just stay behind knowing about the threat to your life. Allow me to come with you, please?

Padmé Amidala: Well, I... suppose it couldn't hurt. Besides, I enjoy your company. Of course you can join me. As... extra security.

Ahsoka Tano: Thanky you, Padmé.

Anakin Skywalker: Ahsoka, I sense you're uneasy. What is it?

Ahsoka Tano: Oh. I. . . nothing, Master. Let me come with you. If I'm not with you, who else will have your back?

Anakin Skywalker: Stay here, finish your studies, get some rest.

Ahsoka Tano: You said it yourself. I learn more in the field than I ever do here.

Anakin Skywalker: Well, think of this as a chance to prove me wrong. [Anakin climbs onto the waiting ship before turning back around to face Ahsoka as the ship takes off] And stay out of trouble!

Evil Plans [3.08]

A failure in planning is a plan for failure.

Senator Padmé Amidala: Threepio, is there a problem?

C-3PO: I'm sorry, my lady, but it appears the dessert is missing, it's Jugan fruit.

Anakin Skywalker: So go get one.

C-3PO: I could not possibly leave now.

Senator Padmé Amidala: 3PO. . .

Anakin Skywalker: Fine. Send R2 then.

C-3PO: I'm afraid that may not be the most appropriate idea. It was R2-D2 who put us in this predicament, quite inadvertently, I'm sure. [R2-D2 whirs]

Senator Padmé Amidala: [Padmé looks up at Anakin with pleading eyes] Please handle this. [Padmé walks away]

Anakin Skywalker: [Sighs] Okay, Threepio, look, I'm sending you on a mission.

C-3PO: A mission? Oh, my.

Anakin Skywalker: Yes. And Artoo is going along with you.

C-3PO: Oh, my.

Anakin Skywalker: This should be more than enough credit-- if you don't get swindled.

C-3PO: Swindled? Me? [R2-D2 beeps]

Anakin Skywalker: Yes, you. Go there, come back, don't get lost and don't get distracted.

C-3PO: Of course, Master Anakin. Come along, Artoo. [R2-D2 beeps and follows C-3PO]

Senator Padmé Admidala: Where can 3PO be?

Anakin Skywalker: I have no idea.

Anakin Skywalker: Oh, no. I'm never gonna hear the end of this one. [R2-D2 beeps and Anakin turns to see C-3PO and R2-D2] 3PO, where were you? You almost missed the whole party.

C-3PO: We encountered some complications, sir.

Anakin Skywalker: What kind of complications?

C-3PO: Actually, I have no recollection of my day. I cannot really explain where I have been.

Anakin Skywalker: You're gonna have to do better than that, 3PO, because if Padmé's dinner is a disaster then you're the not only one she's gonna be mad at.

Senator Padmé Amidala: Oh, Anakin, stop worrying. The cake is right here. You should really lighten up on these two. [R2-D2 beeps] 3PO, you've done a magnificent job.

C-3PO: Oh, my, a magnificent job! A magnificent job. A magnificent job. A magnificent job. A magnificent job.

Anakin Skywalker: Well, we're gonna hear about this one for awhile, buddy. [R2-D2 beeps]

C-3PO: A magnificent job. A magnificent job. A magnificent. . .

Hunt for Ziro [3.09]

Love comes in all shapes and sizes.

[Ziro is brought before the Grand Hutt Council]

Ziro: Gentlemen, gentlemen! I see no need for resentment In light of this joyous occasion of my freedom.

Gardulla: Chuba kispa manta kul kispa.

Ziro: Of course, I do appreciate the help in my escape.

Marlo: Ta kispa che copah, chuba yarpa za.

Ziro: Oh, I have no illusions about the fact that my escape was a result of the highly sensitive knowledge that I possess. A holo-diary cataloging the nefarious deeds of this Council.

Arok: [growls] Un yoka, je puna boya chobo!

Ziro: Kill me and the diary will show up on the step of the Senate. The cold, hard reality is that as long as I control this highly sensitive material, my memory will only get duller.

Gardulla: Yacha chobo nichu.

Ziro: Yes, take me to my room. I only hope the accommodations are satisfactory.

Heroes on Both Sides [3.10]

Fear is a great motivator.

Count Dooku: Are your droids ready?

General Grievous: I am about to deploy the infiltrators, my lord.

Nix Card: You must hurry, the senate is restless.

General Grievous: I don't take orders from you! Only Count Dooku.

Anakin Skywalker: That's not my role, Padmé.

Ahsoka Tano: Why not? Why isn't your role? Aren't we Jedi Knights? Isn't it our duty to speak our minds to advise the Chancellor?

Anakin Skywalker: [Clears his throat] Uh, I suggest you teach my young Padawan a thing or two about politics.

Anakin Skywalker: War's complicated, Ahsoka. But let me simplify it. The Separatists believe the Republic is corrupt, but they're wrong, and we have to restore order.

Senator Padmé Admidala: Maybe talking to the Jedi Council isn't the role for you after all. Thanks for your help. Come on, Ahsoka.

Anakin Skywalker: Hey.

Senator Padmé Amidala: You told me to teach her about politics, so I'm going to.

Senator Padmé Admidala: I'm returning your Padawan.

Anakin Skywalker: I'm sorry your talks with Bonteri failed.

Ahsoka Tano: How did you know?

Anakin Skywalker: We have eyes and ears everywhere, Ahsoka. That was dangerous and careless going to Raxus, not to mention illegal. You went too far this time.

Ahsoka Tano: You would do the same. You do the same all the time.

Anakin Skywalker: This was too much.

Pursuit of Peace [3.11]

Truth can strike down the spectre of fear.

Chancellor Palpatine: (during a Senate meeting) We have just received word from our enemy, Count Dooku.

Count Dooku: (in a hologram) Your troops have carried out a barbaric attack against us. We've lost many of our own in a bombing, including our Senator, Mina Bonteri.

Padme Amidala: What? No!

Count Dooku: In response to this attack, I withdraw our offer of peace!

Nightsisters [3.12]

The swiftest path to destruction is through vengeance.

Darth Sidious: Lord Tyranus.

Count Dooku: My master.

Darth Sidious: There is a disturbance in the force. Your assassin, she has become very powerful.

Count Dooku: Yes, my lord. She is quite important to me.

Darth Sidious: Too important.

Count Dooku: Master--

Darth Sidious: Silence! I can sense her powers getting stronger. I would hate to think you are training your own Sith apprentice to destroy me.

Count Dooku: Never! My allegiance is to you and you alone.

Darth Sidious: Then you must prove it, eliminate her.

Count Dooku: She is my most trusted--

Darth Sidious: I SAID, "ELIMINATE HER!"

Count Dooku: As you wish, my lord.

Dooku: You have failed me for the last time. You are no longer my apprentice. And now... you shall die.

Ventress: (after seeing her Jedi master dead) MASTER!

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Looks like I'm her favorite.

Anakin Skywalker: I'm kind of disappointed. Only the droids follow me.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: No, thank you. No--Thank you, R2. That's quite enough.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Ventress, you're not looking well.

Anakin Skywalker: She never does.

Monster [3.13]

Evil is not born, it is taught.

Mother Talzin: You have heard of the Sith warrior, Darth Maul, have you not?

Count Dooku: Yes, he was slain on Naboo at the hand of Obi Wan Kenobi.

Mother Talzin: A few still remain in his bloodline. What if I could provide you with another of his kind?

Count Dooku: A warrior of the same caliber?

Mother Talzin: Yes, the men on the far side of Dathomir. One can be found.

Count Dooku: With the death of my assassin, Asajj Ventress, and the attacks from the Jedi stepping up, I am in the need of a new assassin.

Mother Talzin: One can be arranged Count. But I warn you, men can be easily persuaded but hard to control.

Savage Opress: You beg? Weakling!

Dooku: I foresee we will do great things together. I shall teach you the ways of the dark side. Soon, your powers will rival that of the great Sith Lord, Darth Maul. We will be even more powerful than Lord Sidious. We will rule the galaxy together, my apprentice.

Count Dooku: Sister.

Mother Talzin: Count Dooku, may I present Savage Opress. (Savage walks out of the ship with weapon in hand)

Count Dooku: He certainly is a sight to behold.

Mother Talzin: The fiercest of his kind, he shall serve you well.

Count Dooku: (with a sinister smile) Yes. He shall. (Savage kneels)

Witches of the Mist [3.14]

The path to evil may bring great power, but not loyalty.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: [referring to Savage Opress' handiwork] This is not the work of a Sith Lord, or of a Jedi... but a reckless, impulsive animal.

Count Dooku: You must connect with your hatred! [blasts Savage with Force Lightning] Focus on your power building. Do not think of anyone or anything else. [blasts Savage with Force Lightning again] That's it. Your anger is your strength.

Savage Opress: [during his training with Dooku] I... hate you!

Count Dooku: Good. [blasts Savage with Force Lightning again]

Count Dooku: [after Savage kills King Katuunko] You ignorant beast! I told you I wanted him alive! [blasts Savage with Force Lightning]

Savage Opress: [after being shocked] Forgive me, my master.

Count Dooku: That is not the way of the dark side. [blasts Savage with Force Lightning again]

Count Dooku: [after Ventress enters the room] Ventress!

Asajj Ventress: That's no way to treat your apprentice. I should know.

Count Dooku: [drawing lightsaber] Savage, you can make amends for your mistake, by destroying this witch.

Asajj Ventress: [cackles gleefully] I don't think that will be happening! Will it, Savage? [tapping Savage's forehead] Remember where your true loyalties lie.

Savage Opress: With you... mistress. [both of them draw their lightsabers]

Count Dooku: A failed apprentice makes for a foolish master!

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Be on guard. These men are ferocious warriors, and they will show no mercy.

Anakin Skywalker: Don't worry. I won't start anything.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: So much for not starting something.

Anakin Skywalker: Hey, don't look at me.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Don't harm them.

Anakin Skywalker: Don't tell me. Tell them.

Anakin Skywalker: Great. Warrior-like men, witches-- Oh, this place is all kinds of fun.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: I'm glad you think so.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: I don't know much about Mother Talzin, but I don't expect to be welcome here.

Anakin Skywalker: [Chuckles] You never know. I tend to be popular with the ladies.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Too popular.

Overlords [3.15]

Balance is found in the one who faces his guilt.

The Father: [as Anakin points his lightsaber at the Father's face] Cannot sleep? To strike an unarmed man is hardly the Jedi way.

Anakin: You're a Sith Lord!

The Father: You have a very simple view of the universe. I am neither Sith, nor Jedi. I am much more. And so are you.

Anakin: I see through your spells and visions, old man. Tell me what is going on here!

The Father: [grips Anakin's lightsaber blade with his bare hand] Some call us Force-wielders. [pushes the lightsaber blade back into its hilt, deactivating it]

Obi-Wan: You are Sith!

The Son: Sith? [chuckles] Yes... and no.

Anakin Skywalker: Oh, come on, that's impossible. Something's wrong. We're at the exact coordinates where the distress signal originated, but there's nothing here. Rex is at the exact same coordinates, and he's not here.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: This is getting interesting.

Anakin Skywalker: And we thought the planet was strange. How about this one?

Anakin Skywalker: Excuse me, who are you taking us to?

Daughter: The Father, of course.

Ahsoka Tano: Of course.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: And what exactly are you?

Daughter: We are the ones who guard the power. We are the middle, the beginning, and the end.

Anakin Skywalker: Glad she cleared that up for us.

Anakin Skywalker: Yeah, but our friend has run off! Go back to the ship and try sending another distress call. I'll follow her and find out how to get off this rock.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: And if this is a trap?

Anakin Skywalker: Then I'm not gonna wait around to find out.

Ahsoka Tano: Do not trust him.

Anakin Skywalker: You think?

Altar of Mortis [3.16]

He who surrenders hope, surrenders life.

Anakin: You must know I will never join the Dark Side willingly.

The Son: How simple you make it. Light and Dark...as if there is one without the other. Allied, you and I can restore balance wherever we go, peace to the universe.

Anakin: By becoming a Sith? Never!

The Son: [furious] We will DESTROY the Sith! And the Jedi.

The Daughter: What have you done, brother?

The Son: Done? I have done what is right...or what is wrong, depending on your point of view.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: I didn't think you saw it.

Anakin Skywalker: It was a giant tower. Of course I saw it.

Anakin Skywalker: Ahsoka. Ahsoka, it's me. You're safe. Now let's go.

Ahsoka Tano: Are you proud of me, Master?

Anakin Skywalker: What? Uh, of course, Snips. Of course I'm proud of you. Now, let's get out of here.

Ahsoka Tano: [she opens her eyes] He's right, right about everything. You must join him. He only wants what's best for the universe.

Anakin Skywalker: Hey, what's wrong with you?

Ahsoka Tano: Always with the criticism, Master, never really believing in me, trusting me. Well, I don't need you anymore.

Anakin Skywalker: Ahsoka. Ahsoka, listen to me. He has done something to you. Snap out of it. This isn't you, Ahsoka.

Ahsoka Tano: Isn't it? I feel more like myself than I ever have. He asked me to give you a message. He said if you didn't join him, he will kill me. [Ahsoka laughs]

Anakin Skywalker: I won't let him.

Ahsoka Tano: Then YOU will be forced to kill me. [ignites one of her lightsabers. Anakin is horrified.]

Anakin Skywalker: Getting ahead of yourself, aren't you, Snips?

Ahsoka Tano: Don't call me that. I HATE it when you call me that!

Father: There is no hope.

Anakin Skywalker: Yes, there is. There's ALWAYS hope!

Ghosts of Mortis [3.17]

He who seeks to control fate shall never find peace.

The Son: I have a gift for you.

Anakin: I have had enough of your trickery!

The Son: Oh, but you'll like this one, I promise... What if I could show you the future?

Anakin: [clutches his head as unseen visions assault him] No! No. Stop it!

The Son: Know yourself. Know what you will become!

[Mist surrounds Anakin as the Son disappears and he hears and sees visions of his future]

Anakin: I will not look!

Darth Sidious: The Force is strong with you. [Anakin sees Sidious shooting lightning, as well as himself killing younglings and Force-choking Padmé]

Padmé: [pleading] Anakin, please!

Obi Wan: You were my brother, Anakin!

Darth Sidious [Voice] A powerful Sith you will become.

Anakin/Vader: [Voice as Alderaan is blown to bits] I HATE YOU!

[The mist shapes into the form of Anakin's future self, followed by a familiar sound of breathing, then the mist clears]

Anakin: No. No. NOOOOO!!!!!! [he falls to his knees, close to tears] I will do such terrible things...

The Son: Yes...but it doesn't have to be that way. The choice is still yours to make.

Anakin: How?

The Son: The future, by its nature, can be changed. Join me, and together we will destroy this Emperor that you see in your visions, then we shall end war, corruption and suffering throughout the galaxy!

Anakin: [hesitant] Will we bring peace?

The Son: Of course.

Anakin: There has been a change of plan. [Force pushes Obi-Wan's speeder into the lava] Sorry. You will not understand what I have to do to end the Clone War. You will try to stop me.

Obi Wan: [horrified, shocked by the Son's red Force lightning] Anakin, why?!

Anakin: [regretfully] I'm sorry, but I have seen that it is the Jedi who will stand in the way of peace.

The Father: What did he show you?

Anakin: I have seen what I become, and I cannot let that happen.

The Father: And for this, you join him? Your destiny can change as quickly as the love in one's heart can fade. Nothing is set in stone.

Anakin: But I will cause so much pain!

The Father: If there is to be balance, what you have seen must be...forgotten.

Father: You cannot interfere.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: The way I see it, if we were not supposed to interfere, Ahsoka and I wouldn't be here in the first place. Look after the ship. I'm going to find Anakin.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Ahsoka, come in, please can you hear me? Ahsoka!

Ahsoka Tano: Yes, Master. Any success with Anakin?

Obi-Wan Kenobi: No, quite the opposite.

Ahsoka Tano: Master. . . what are you saying?

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Anakin has joined with the Son. Do not engage him.

Ahsoka Tano: But--

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Just do as I say. Listen to me. You have to disable the ship.

Ahsoka Tano: But I just finished putting it back together.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Ahsoka, please listen. We have to prevent Anakin and the Son from leaving.

Ahsoka Tano: Yes, Master.

Anakin Skywalker: Ahsoka. . . What have you done? [Ahsoka takes off with Anakin's speeder] Ahsoka!

Ahsoka Tano: Hmm, nice job.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: What took you so long?

The Citadel [3.18]

Adaptation is the key to survival.

Anakin Skywalker: Ahsoka, I'm sorry I didn't tell you this earlier, but you won't be coming along.

Ahsoka Tano: Not coming? But you're breaking into Citadel. No one's ever done it.

Anakin Skywalker: The Citadel wasn't designed to hold common criminals. It was created to hold Jedi if any of us lost our way. It's not a place for Padawans.

Ahsoka Tano: You're just being protective again. That's not fair. How am I supposed to learn if you won't let me share the risk?

Anakin Skywalker: This isn't a mission for learning. You either do or die. And that's not a risk I'm willing to share.

Anakin Skywalker: Hey, Snips.

Ahsoka Tano: Hey, Master.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: I must have carbon sickness because I could swear that's Ahsoka.

Anakin Skywalker: Your eyes are fine. It's Ahsoka's hearing that needs help.

Ahsoka Tano: I received orders to join the team. I thought you knew.

Anakin Skywalker: Orders? From who?

Ahsoka Tano: I discussed it with Master Plo.

Anakin Skywalker: He didn't tell me.

Ahsoka Tano: You were already in carbonite.

Anakin Skywalker: Well, I gave you a specific order not to come.

Ahsoka Tano: If there's one thing I've learned from you, Master, it's that following direct orders isn't always the best way to solve a problem.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: I see Anakin's new teaching method is to do as I say, not as I do. Welcome aboard.

Anakin Skywalker: That wasn't the plan.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Well, it's in the plan now.

Captain Tarkin: I reserve my trust for those who take action, General Skywalker.

Anakin Skywalker: Then let me remind you, we rescued you back there and I reserve my trust for those who understand gratitude, Captain Tarkin.

Counterattack [3.19]

Anything that can go wrong will.

Anakin Skywalker: Sorry I'm late.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: How nice of you to join us.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: I'm afraid we've had a situation with the shuttle.

Anakin Skywalker: By "situation", he means "big explosion". We're gonna need a rescue.

Echo: This is our only chance. We've got to stop him. (grabs shield and heads toward the ship)

Fives: Echo, look out! (droid destroys the ship and seemingly kills Echo) ECHO!!!

Obi-Wan Kenobi: We have to go now!

Citadel Rescue [3.20]

Without honor, victory is hollow.

Ahsoka Tano: Why did Master Piell have to share half the intel with that guy? It's like he's not even grateful we rescued him.

Anakin Skywalker: Captain Tarkin feels the Jedi should be relieved from the burden of leading the war effort.

Ahsoka Tano: That's ridiculous.

Anakin Skywalker: Maybe, but we aren't soldiers. We're peacekeepers.

Anakin Skywalker: Master Plo, there's something we want to ask you. Did you assign Ahsoka to the mission?

Plo Koon: It appears I did.

Padawan Lost [3.21]

Without humility, courage is a dangerous game.

Wookiee Hunt [3.22]

A great student is what the teacher hopes to be.

Anakin Skywalker: Ahsoka!

Plo Koon: It is good to see you safe, little 'Soka.

Anakin Skywalker: Ahsoka, I am so sorry.

Ahsoka Tano: For what?

Anakin Skywalker: For letting you go, for letting you get taken. It was my fault.

Ahsoka Tano: No, Master, it wasn't your fault.

Anakin Skywalker: I should've paid more attention. I should've tried harder. I--

Ahsoka Tano: You already did everything you could, everything you had to do. When I was out there, alone, all I had was your training and the lessons you taught me and because of you, I did survive. And not only that, I was able to lead others to survive as well.

Anakin Skywalker: I don't know what to say.

Ahsoka Tano: I do. Thank you, Master.

Anakin Skywalker: You're welcome, my Padawan. [Anakin and Ahsoka bow to each other in respect]
