"But I didn't expect him to go this far," Mace replied. "And I didn't expect him to suck Ki-Adi into it as well."

"Even if you can talk, no one will ever elect you as Chancellor!" C-3PO replied.
"Oh shut off," R2 replied. "Permanently."
R2 rolled straight towards C-3PO, pushing him off the ledge of a Coruscant sky-scraper.

"R2-D2 has been elected the Chancellor of the Senate, and Valorum has been elected Speaker of the House," a tally droid announced.
"I will protect the Republic from my brethren," R2 thought to himself.
