Stephen Stanton: Mas Amedda, Mak Plain, Edcel Bar Gane

Quotes 

• Chancellor Palpatine : Isn't it remarkable that one can have all the power in the galaxy and yet the words of a single senator can sway the thoughts of millions?

  Mas Amedda : What do you plan to do about this?

  Chancellor Palpatine : For now, we must adhere to the principles of our democracy. We must let the wheels of the Senate turn.

• Mak Plain : We will lend the Republic at our standard interest rate of... 25%.

  Padmé Amidala : What?

  Onaconda Farr : 25% - that's outright theft.

  Padmé Amidala : Your previous arrangement with the Republic was 10%.

  Mak Plain : Please, please, that was before deregulation. The same rules don't apply, my dear. The Separatists don't seem to mind a rate hike. In fact, they just secured a loan to fund an additional 3 million battle droids.

  Onaconda Farr : They will wipe us out.

  Padmé Amidala : You would let Dooku do that? You live on Coruscant too.

  Mak Plain : We have no stake in this war, Senator. You know that. War is... distasteful to all of us.
