Honorable representatives of the Republic, I come to you under the gravest of circumstances. The Naboo system has been invaded by the droid armies of the Trade... I object! There is no proof! This is incredible. We recommend a commission be sent to Naboo to ascertain the truth. The Congress of Malastare concurs... with the honorable delegate from the Trade Federation. - A commission must be appointed. - The point... - Excuse me, Chancellor. -[Palpatine] Enter the bureaucrat. The true rulers of the Republic. And on the payroll of the Trade Federation, I might add. This is where Chancellor Valorum's strength will disappear.

[Valorum] The point is conceded. Will you defer your motion to allow a commission... to explore the validity of your accusations? I will not defer. I've come before you to resolve this attack on our sovereignty now. I was not elected to watch my people suffer and die... while you discuss this invasion in a committee.

The boy will not pass the council's test, Master. He's too old. Anakin will become a Jedi, I promise you. Do not defy the council, Master, not again. I shall do what I must, Obi-Wan.

If you would just follow the code, you would be on the council. They will not go along with you this time. You still have much to learn, my young apprentice.

I move for a vote of no confidence... in Chancellor Valorum's leadership. [Senators Murmuring, Shouting]

If this body is not capable of action, I suggest new leadership is needed.
