The Lineman Podcast

Anakin: Chancellor, we've just received a report from Master Kenobi, he has engaged General Grievous.

Chancellor Palpatine: We can only hope master Kenobi is up to the challenge.

Anakin: I should be there with him.

Chancellor Palpatine: It's upsetting to me to see the council doesn't seem to fully appreciate 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 getting excluded from the council. I know there are things about the force they are not telling me.

Chancellor 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?

Chancellor Palpatine: My mentor taught me everything about the force, even the nature of the dark side.

Anakin: You know the dark side?

Chancellor Palpatine: Anakin, if one is to understand the great mystery, one must study all its aspects, not just the dog-matic 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 with 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 will be able to save your wife from certain death.

Anakin: What did you say?

Chancellor Palpatine: Use my knowledge, I beg you

*Anakin activates lightsaber*

Anakin: You're the SIth Lord.

Chancellor 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.

Chancellor Palpatine: I know you would, I can feel your anger, it gives you focus, makes you stronger.

*Anakin deactivates lightsaber*

Anakin: I'm going to turn you over to the Jedi Council.

Chancellor 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.

Chancellor Palpatine: You have great wisdom Anakin, know the power of the dark side, power to save Padme.
