1:18:00
It is a great gift
to see you alive, Your Majesty.
1:18:04
With the communications breakdown,
we've been very concerned.
1:18:06
I'm anxious to hear your report
on the situation.
1:18:09
May I present
Supreme Chancellor Valorum.
1:18:12
Welcome, Your Highness.
1:18:14
It's an honour to finally
meet you in person.
1:18:16
Thank you, Supreme Chancellor.
1:18:17
I must relay to you how distressed
everyone is over the current situation.
1:18:21
I've called for a special session
of the senate to hear your position.
1:18:25
I'm grateful for your concern,
Chancellor.
1:18:28
There is a question
of procedure...
1:18:30
but I'm confident
we can overcome it.
1:18:33
I must speak with the Jedi Council
immediately.
1:18:35
The situation has become
much more complicated.
1:18:44
Ani, come on.
1:18:56
Da queen's a bein grossly nice,
mesa tinks.
1:19:00
Pitty hot.
1:19:29
There is no civility,
only politics.
1:19:33
The Republic
is not what it once was.
1:19:37
The senate is full of greedy,
squabbling delegates.
1:19:43
There is no interest
in the common good.
1:19:47
I must be frank, Your Majesty.
1:19:48
There is little chance the senate
will act on the invasion.
1:19:51
Chancellor Valorum
seems to think there is hope.
1:19:54
If I may say so, Your Majesty...
1:19:56
the chancellor
has little real power.
1:19:58
He is mired by baseless
accusations ofcorruption.
