The Empire has been choking us so slowly, we're starting not to notice.

The time has come to force their hand.

People will suffer.

That's the plan.

You're not angry at me.

I'm just saying out loud what you already know.

There will be no rules going forward.

If you're not willing to risk your conscience,

then surrender and be done with it.

(SIGHS)

We need every credit we can get our hands on.

Let me know how the meeting goes.

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

I'm afraid I won't be taking either of these pieces this morning.

(LAUGHS) I'll have some new things coming in very, very soon.

MON: I'll be sure to come by.

LUTHEN: (LAUGHS) Always at your service, Senator.

Always at your service.

I hope she's worth it.

LUTHEN: Well, we'll see, won't we?
