:39:04
To be on the Council at your age.
It's never happened before.
:39:09
The fact of the matter is
you're too close to the Chancellor.
:39:12
The Council doesn't like it when
he interferes in Jedi affairs.
:39:16
I swear to you, I didn't ask to be
put on the Council...
:39:19
But it's what you wanted!
:39:22
Your friendship with Chancellor Palpatine
seems to have paid off.
:39:25
That has nothing to do with this.
:39:27
The only reason the Council has approved
your appointment is because
the Chancellor trusts you.
:39:33
And?
:39:35
Anakin, I am on your side.
I didn't want to put you in this situation.
:39:38
What situation?
:39:44
The Council wants you to report
on all of the Chancellor's dealings.
:39:48
They want to know what he's up to.
:39:55
They want me to spy on the Chancellor?
:39:58
- That's treason!
- We are at war, Anakin.
:40:03
Why didn't the Council give me
this assignment when we were in session?
:40:06
This assignment is not to be on record.
:40:09
The Chancellor is not a bad man, Obi-Wan.
:40:12
He befriended me. He's watched out
for me ever since I arrived here.
:40:15
That is why you must help us, Anakin.
:40:18
Anakin. Our allegiance is to the Senate,
not to its leader who has managed to stay
in office long after his term has expired.
:40:25
the Senate demanded that he stay longer.
:40:27
Yes, but use your feelings, Anakin.
Something is out of place.
:40:32
You're asking me to do
something against the Jedi Code.
:40:35
Against the Republic.
:40:37
Against a mentor... and a friend.
That's what's out of place here.
:40:41
Why are you asking this of me?
:40:45
The Council is asking you.
:40:54
Anakin did not take to his assignment
with much enthusiasm.
:40:59
It's very dangerous, putting them together.
