INT. CORUSCANT - CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE - DAY
ANAKIN stands with PALPATINE at his window overlooking the vastness
of Coruscant. Several buildings have been destroyed. A brown
haze hangs over the landscape.
PALPATINE
Anakin, this afternoon the Senate is going to call on me to take
direct control of the Jedi Council.
ANAKIN
The Jedi will no longer report to the Senate?
PALPATINE
They will report to me... personally. The Senate is too unfocused
to conduct a war. This will bring a quick end to things.
ANAKIN
I agree, but the Jedi Council may not see it that way.
PALPATINE
There are times when we must all endure adjustments to the constitution
in the name of security.
ANAKIN
With all due respect, sir, the Council is in no mood for more constitutional
amendments.
PALPATINE
Thank you, my friend, but in this case I have no choice... this
war must be won.
ANAKIN
Everyone will agree on that.
PALPATINE
Anakin, I've known you since you were a small boy. I have advised
you over the years when I could... I am very proud of your accomplishments.
You have won many battles the Jedi Council thought were lost...
and you saved my life. I hope you trust me, Anakin.
ANAKIN
Of course.
PALPATINE
I need your help, son.
ANAKIN
What do you mean?
PALPATINE
I fear the Jedi. The Council keeps pushing for more control. They're
shrouded in secrecy and obsessed with maintaining their autonomy...
ideals I find simply incomprehensible in a democracy.
ANAKIN
I can assure you that the Jedi are dedicated to the values of the
Republic, sir.
PALPATINE
Nevertheless, their actions will speak more loudly than their words.
I'm depending on you.
ANAKIN
For what? I don't understand.
