"What is it?"

"Viceroy, I don't want this stunted slime in my sight again!"

"This turn of events is unfortunate. We must accelerate our plans. Begin landing your troops."

As Senator Palpatine.

"You have been well trained, my young apprentice. They will be no match for you."

Palpatine at Qui Gon Jinn's funeral

"I will not let this Republic, which has stood for a thousand years, be split in two. My negotiations will not fail."

"Once this crisis has abated, I will lay down the powers you have given me!"

"Good, Anakin, good. Kill him."

"Do it!"

"Soon I will have a new apprentice, one far younger and more powerful."

"The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural."

"Not from a Jedi."

Palpatine reveals himself as the Sith Lord.

"I know you would. I can feel your anger. It give you focus… makes you stronger."

"Are you threatening me, Master Jedi?"

"It's treason then."

"POWER!!!"

"UNLIMITED POWER!!!!!"

Palpatine makes Anakin his new apprentice

"Henceforth, you shall be known as Darth Vader."

"Every single Jedi, including your friend, Obi-Wan Kenobi, is now an enemy of the Republic."

"Execute Order 66."

"You have done well, Viceroy. When my new apprentice, Darth Vader, arrives, he will take care of you."

Palpatine evilly cackling at Yoda.

"You will not stop me. Darth Vader will become more powerful than either of us."

"I sense Lord Vader is in danger."

"Lord Vader, can you hear me?"

(Vader: Where is Padme? Is she safe, is she all right?) "It seems, in your anger, you killed her."

Palpatine's cruel satisfaction as Vader cries out in anguish.

"Rise my friend."

"Patience, my friend. In time, he will seek you out and when he does, you must bring him before me."

"Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen."

"Send the fleet to the far side of Endor... there it will stay until called for."

"Soon the rebellion will be crushed and young Skywalker will be one of us."

"Welcome, young Skywalker, I have been expecting you."

"I'm looking forward to completing your training. In time, you will call me "Master"."

"Oh no, my young Jedi. You will find that it is you who are mistaken... about a GREAT many things."

"Ah, yes, a Jedi's weapon, much like your father's."

"By now you must know that your father can never be turned from the dark side. So will it be with you."

"Perhaps you refer to the imminent attack on your Rebel fleet?"

"Your faith in your friends is yours."

"Your friends, up there on the sanctuary moon, are walking into a trap, as is your Rebel fleet."

"It is quite safe from your pitiful little band. An entire legion of my best troops awaits them."

"It is unavoidable. It is your destiny. You, like your father, are now... mine...!"

"Good! Use your aggressive feelings, boy. Let the hate flow through you."

"Good! Your hate has made you powerful. Now, fulfill your destiny and take your father's place at my side."

"If you will not be turned, you will be destroyed."

"Your feeble skills are no match for the power of the dark side!"

"You have paid the price for your lack of vision!"

"Now, young Skywalker, you will die."

Palpatine angrily striking Luke Skywalker with his Force Lightning shortly before Darth Vader grabs him from behind and his death.

Palpatine meets his granddaughter, Rey.

Palpatine asks Rey if she came to end the Sith as a Jedi.

Palpatine revealing to Rey he wants her to use her anger to kill him so his spirit can possess her.

"The time has come! With your hatred, you will take my life!"

"Weak. Like your parents!"

"Stand together... die together!"

"Let your death be the final word in the story of Rebellion."
