- [Padmé has just arrived on Mustafar, has confronted Anakin Skywalker and they embrace]
- Anakin Skywalker: I saw your ship. What are you doing out here?
- Padmé Amidala: I was so worried about you. Obi-Wan told me terrible things.
- Anakin: What things?
- Padmé: He said...that you turned to the Dark Side...that you...killed younglings...
- Anakin: Obi-Wan is trying to turn you against me.
- Padmé: He cares about us.
- Anakin: Us?
- Padmé: He knows. He wants to help you. Anakin, all I want is your love.
- Anakin: Love won't save you, Padmé. Only my new powers can do that.
- Padmé: But at what cost? You're a good person! Don't do this!
- Anakin: I won't lose you the way I lost my mother. I am becoming more powerful than any Jedi has ever dreamed of, and I'm doing it for you. To protect you.
- Padmé: Come away with me. Help me raise our child. Leave everything else behind while we still can!
- Anakin: Don't you see? We don't have to run away anymore! I have brought peace to the Republic. I am more powerful than the Chancellor, I... I can overthrow him! And together, you and I can rule the galaxy; make things the way we want them to be! You don't believe me, do you?
- [Padmé slowly backs away from Anakin, shocked]
- Padmé: [shocked] I don't believe what I'm hearing! Obi-Wan was right... you've changed!
- Anakin: [angry] I don't want to hear any more about Obi-Wan. The Jedi turned against me. The Republic turned against me. Don't you turn against me!
- Padmé: [crying] I don't know you anymore! Anakin...you're breaking my heart! You're going down a path I cannot follow!
- Anakin: [confused] Because of Obi-Wan?
- Padmé: Because of what you've done! What you plan to do! [pleading desperately] Stop! Stop now... come back! I love you!
- Anakin: [Enraged and paranoid at seeing Obi-Wan in the main hatchway of her cruiser] LIAR!
- Padmé: [looks back and sees Obi-Wan, then turns back to Anakin; horrified] NO!
- Anakin: You're with him! You brought him here to kill me!! [begins to Force-choke Padmé]
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: Let her go, Anakin!
- Padmé: [struggling to breathe] Anakin...
- Obi-Wan: Let... her... go.
[Anakin releases Padmé; she collapses into unconsciousness]
