[Palpatine] Supreme Chancellor, delegates of the senate, a tragedy has occurred... which started right here with the taxation of trade routes... and has now engulfed our entire planet... in the oppression of the Trade Federation. This is outrageous! I object to the senator's statements. The chair does not recognize the senator from the Trade Federation at this time. To state our allegations, I present Queen Amidala, recently elected ruler of the Naboo, who speaks on our behalf. [Murmuring Continues]

[Yoda] Master Qui-Gon. More to say have you? With your permission, my master, I have encountered a vergence in the Force. A vergence, you say? Located around a person? A boy. His cells have the highest concentration of midi-chlorians I have seen in a life-form. It is possible he was conceived by the midi-chlorians. You refer to the prophecy... of the one who will bring balance to the Force. You believe it's this boy? - I don't presume to... -[Yoda] But you do. Revealed your opinion is. I request the boy be tested, Master. Oh? Trained as a Jedi you request for him, hmm? Finding him was the will of the Force. I have no doubt of that.

He was trained in the Jedi arts. My only conclusion can be that it was a Sith lord. I mpossible. The Sith have been extinct for a millennium. I do not believe the Sith could have returned without us knowing. Ah, hard to see, the dark side is. We will use all our resources to unravel this mystery. We will discover the identity of your attacker. May the Force be with you.

[Men Conversing, Faint] [Palpatine] There is no civility, only politics. The Republic is not what it once was. The senate is full of greedy, squabbling delegates. There is no interest... in the common good. I must be frank, Your Majesty. There is little chance the senate will act on the invasion. Chancellor Valorum seems to think there is hope. If I may say so, Your Majesty, the chancellor has little real power. He is mired by baseless accusations of corruption. - The bureaucrats are in charge now. - What options have we? Our best choice would be to push for the election... of a stronger supreme chancellor, one who could control the bureaucrats... and give us justice. You could call for a vote of no confidence... in Chancellor Valorum. He has been our strongest supporter. Our only other choice would be to submit a plea to the courts. The courts take even longer to decide things than the senate. Our people are dying, Senator. We must do something quickly to stop the Federation. To be realistic, Your Majesty, I think we're going to have to accept Federation control for the time being. That is something I cannot do.

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.
