“My lady, I truly do admire your efforts to fix the Republic. You and the few senators of similar ilk have my utmost respect. Yet I urge you to look at the situation realistically. For as long as this corruption has plagued the government, there have always been those who seek to end it as you do. And still the corruption remains. A difference can no longer be made from within. As for peaceful solutions, have I not already attempted to find one? Before this war began I tried to contact the Chancellor’s office and discuss the matter with him, but I was refused. I had hoped to avoid war, but that did not mean I was not prepared for it. And so that is what it came to. I fail to see what more you can hope to do, unless you decide to join our alliance. With your resolve, the war would come to a swifter end, and we could at last establish the government we both dream of.”
“ i will never join you. just as i will never lose my hope to continuously help the republic to improve its standing. it may never reach absolute prosperity—- but what government will? your words may draw other delegates, as well as other systems, to your side,but i will not be so easily swayed.you speak of seeking peace but i am not capable of believing that the chancellor would turn down a strictly diplomatic meeting. he wants the strife to end as much as i. and while you may commend me for it, my resolve is already dedicated to ending this war as swiftly as possible—- just not for the outcome you desire. it is rooted in the republic, in the FREEDOM for the people to be able to choose their own paths. in democracy. as such, i decline any offer given to turn my back on my beliefs. we may dream of a different government, dooku, but our visions differ as well. “
