Anakin and Obi Wan are Dead

Anakin and Obi Wan are riding Bantha down a path – they pause]
Anakin: [to Obi Wan] Umm, uh…
[Obi Wan rides away, and Anakin follows. Anakin spots a gold coin on the ground]
Anakin: [to Bantha] Whoa – whoa, whoa.
[Gets off Bantha and starts flipping the coin]
Anakin: Hmmm. Dark Side. Dark Side. Dark Side. Dark Side. Dark Side. Dark Side. Dark Side. Dark Side. Dark Side. Dark Side. Dark Side. Dark Side. Dark Side. Dark Side. Dark Side. Dark Side. Dark Side. Dark Side.
[Obi Wan grabs the coin, checks both sides, then tosses it back to Anakin]
Anakin: Dark Side.
[Obi Wan pulls a coin out of his own pocket and flips it]
Anakin: Bet? Dark Side I win?
[Obi Wan looks at coin and tosses it to Anakin]
Anakin: Again? Dark Side.

Yoda: More of the love, Force and rhetoric school are we. Can do Force and love we can, without rhetoric, and can do Force and rhetoric, love without and do you all three, we can, concurrent or consecutive, hmmm? Can not, love and rhetoric without the Force give you though. Compulsory, Force is. All Force they are, see you now, hmm?
Obi Wan: Is that what people want?
Yoda: What we do, it is.

Anakin: Did you ever think of yourself as actually Sith, living in a suit of armor with a respirator on it?
Obi Wan: No.
Anakin: Nor do I, really. It’s silly to be depressed by it. I mean, one thinks of it like being alive in a box. One keeps forgetting to take into account the fact that one is Sith, which should make all the difference, shouldn’t it? I mean, you’d never care you were in a suit of armor, would you? It would be just like you were asleep in a box. Not that I’d like to sleep in a box, mind you. Not without any air. You’d wake up dead for a start, and then where would you be? In a box. That’s the bit I don’t like, frankly. That’s why I don’t think of it, and why the armor would need a respirator I would think. Because you’d be helpless, wouldn’t you? Stuffed in a suit of armor like that, hunting your own children of some such nonsense. I mean, you’d be in there forever, even taking into account the fact that you’re Sith. It isn’t a pleasant thought. Especially if you’re Sith, really. Ask yourself, if I asked you straight off, “I’m going to stuff you in this suit of armor. Now, would you rather be Jedi or Sith?” naturally, you’d prefer to be Jedi. Jedi in a suit of armor is better than simply turning to the Dark Side, I expect. You’d have a chance, at least. You could wander around thinking, “Well, at least I’m not Sith. In a minute somebody is going to use the Force to cure me, and tell me to take off the helmet.”
[bangs on suit of armor]
Anakin: “Hey you! What’s your name? Take off that helmet!”
Obi Wan: [long pause] I think I’m going to kill you.

Anakin: Do you want to play Dark Side?
Obi Wan: How do you play that?
Anakin: You have to look into the dark corners of yourself and ask a question that will lead you down a darker path..
Obi Wan: Statement. One – Love.
Anakin: Cheating!
Obi Wan: How do you figure?
Anakin: I hadn’t started yet.
Obi Wan: Statement. Two – Love.
Anakin: You’re counting that?
Obi Wan: What?
Anakin: You’re counting that?
Obi Wan: Foul. No repetition. Three – Love and game.
Anakin: I’m going to go play with the Emperor if you’re going to be like that.
