Manipulation and Power in Leadership
Supreme Leader Snoke
Tied on a string indeed, General Hux. Well done. The Resistance will soon be in our grasp.
[to General Hux]
Hux
Thank you, Supreme Leader.
[leaves the throne room]
Snoke
You wonder why I keep a rabid cur in such a place of power? A cur's weakness, properly manipulated, can be a sharp tool. How's your wound?
[to Kylo Ren]
Kylo Ren
It's nothing.
[through damaged vocabulator]
Snoke
Hmm. The mighty Kylo Ren. When I found you, I saw what all masters live to see: Raw, untamed power... and beyond that, something truly special. The potential of your bloodline. A new Vader. Now, I fear I was mistaken.
Ren
I've given everything I have to you... to the dark side.
Snoke
Take that ridiculous thing off. Yes... there it is. You have too much of your father's heart in you, young Solo.
[referring to Ren's helmet; Ren takes off his helmet, revealing his bandaged facial scar]
Ren
I killed Han Solo. When the moment came, I didn't hesitate.
Snoke
And look at you, the deed split your spirit to the bone. You were unbalanced, bested by a girl who had never held a lightsaber! YOU FAILED!!!!! Skywalker lives! The seed of the Jedi Order lives. As long as he does... hope lives in the galaxy. I thought you would be the one to snuff it out. Alas, you're no Vader. You're just a child... in a mask.
[Ren tries to attack Snoke, but he blasts Force lightning into the ground which ricochets into Ren, blasting him back; the Praetorian guards draw their weapons in response]

The Colonel

Caesar
I came for you.
The Colonel
For me? Who did I kill that night?
Caesar
My wife. My son.
The Colonel
I'm sorry. I was there for you. My God. Look at your eyes. Almost human.

Trust and Technology in Wakanda's Shadows
Ulysses Klaue
] You know, you really shouldn't trust the Wakandans. I'm much more your speed.
[Cuffed to a chair, singing; [w:What Is Love|"Don't hurt me, no more! What is love? Baby, don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more..."; Casually]
Ross
I don't trust anybody, not in this job. But what I AM interested in is that arm cannon out there. Where'd you get that?
Klaue
It's an old mining tool that I made some adjustments to. But I can, uh, get you one if you like.
Ross
Why don't you give me the name of your supplier, and I'll ask them?
Klaue
He's right outside. Why don't you ask him yourself?
Ross
What, T'Challa? You're telling me that weapon on your arm is from Wakanda?
Klaue
Bingo. What do you actually know about Wakanda?
[Winks and clicks]
Ross
Um... Shepherds, textiles, cool outfits...
Klaue
It's all a front. Explorers searched for it for centuries. "], the Golden City" – they thought they could find it in South America, but it was in Africa the whole time. A technological marvel. All because it was built on a mound of the most valuable metal known to man. Isipho, they call it, "the gift". Vibranium.
[[w:El Dorado|El Dorado]
Ross
Vibranium, yeah. Strongest metal on earth.
Klaue
It's not just a metal. They sew it into their clothes. It powers their city, their tech... their weapons.
Ross
Weapons?
Klaue
Yeah. Makes my arm cannon look like a leaf blower.
[Chuckles]
Ross
That's a nice fairy tale, but Wakanda is a Third-World Country, and you stole all their Vibranium.
Klaue
I stole..."?! "ALL OF IT"?! I took a tiny piece of it. They have a mountain full of it. They've been mining it for thousands of years, and they still haven't scratched the surface. I'm the only outsider who's seen it and got out of there alive. If you don't believe me, you ask your friend what his suit is made of. What his claws are made of.
[Laughs hysterically, then snaps and jolts the chair angrily]

Strategic Shift in Galactic Power Dynamics
Supreme Leader Snoke
The droid will soon be delivered to the Resistance, leading them to the last Jedi. If Skywalker returns, the new Jedi will rise.
General Hux
Supreme Leader, I take full responsibility—
Snoke
GENERAL! Our strategy must now change.
Hux
The weapon... it is ready. I believe the time has come to use it. We shall destroy the government that supports the Resistance... the Republic. Without their friends to protect them, the Resistance will be vulnerable, and we will stop them before they reach Skywalker.
Snoke
Go. Oversee preparations.
Hux
Yes, Supreme Leader.
Snoke
There has been an awakening. Have you felt it?
Ren
Yes.
Snoke
There's something more. The droid we seek is aboard the Millennium Falcon... in the hands of your father, Han... Solo.
Ren
He means nothing to me.
Snoke
Even you, Master of the Knights of Ren, have never faced such a test.
Ren
By the grace of your training, I will not be seduced.
Snoke
We shall see. We shall see.

Koba
If they get power, they'll be more dangerous! Why help them?!
Caesar

And how many apes will die? We have one chance for peace. Let them do their human work. Then they'll go.

Human work? Human work! Human work! HUMAN WORK!!

The Consequences of Humanity's Hubris
Caesar
I think you have no ].
[[mercy]
The Colonel
You came here to kill me. Were you going to show me mercy?
Caesar
I showed you mercy when I spared your men. I offered you peace and you killed my family.
The Colonel
Mercy. Do you have any idea what your mercy would do to us? You're much stronger than we are. You're smart as hell. No matter what you say, you'd eventually replace us. That's the law of ]. The irony is, we created you. We tried to defy Nature, bend it to our will. Nature has been punishing us for our ] ever since. Ten months ago, I sent out recon units to look for your base. My own son was a soldier with one of the units. One day, he suddenly stopped speaking. He became primitive, like an animal. They contacted me and said that they thought he'd lost his mind, ]. Then the man who cared for him stopped speaking too. Their medic had a theory, before he stopped speaking, that the virus that almost wiped us out, the virus that every human survivor still carries, had suddenly changed. Mutated. And that, if it spread, it would destroy humanity for good this time. Not by killing us, but by robbing us of those things that make us human. Our speech, our higher thinking. It would turn us into beasts. You talk about mercy? What would you have done? It was a moment of ] for me. I realized that I would have to sacrifice my only son, so that humanity could be saved. I held that gun in my hand for a long time... And I pointed it at my only child. He looked at me with trust in his eyes. Even in his primitive gaze, I felt his... love. I pulled the trigger. It purified me. It made my purpose clear. I gave orders to kill the others infected, all of them. Burn their belongings, anything that might spread contamination. Some of the men questioned my judgment. I was asking them to do what I had done, to sacrifice their friends, their family. Of course, they refused. I had them killed too. Others with children deserted into the woods. One of those ]s fled to my superiors up north. They tried to convince me that this plague could be dealt with medically. Thats when I realized that they had learned nothing from our past.
[[Nature; [arrogance; [PTSD|that the war was too much for him; [clarity; [coward]
Caesar
You killed them too?
The Colonel
What did I do, Preacher?
Preacher
You severed their heads, sir.
The Colonel
Except for the one I spared so he could return and deliver a message. If they wanted to relieve me of my command, they'd have to meet me here, and do it themselves. This used to be a weapons depot. They turned it into a relocation camp when the crisis was just beginning. But the weapons are all still here, inside the mountain.
Caesar
How many men will be coming?
The Colonel
Probably all of them. But don't get any ideas, the only thing they fear more than me is you apes. This is a holy war. All of human history has led to this moment. If we lose, we'll be the last of our kind. It will be a planet of apes, and we'II become your cattle. Look at you. You think I am sick, don't you? I didn't mean to kill your son. But if his destiny was to inherit your unholy kingdom... I am glad I did.
The Colonel
So emotional! I see how conflicted you are. You are confused in your purpose. You're angry at me for something I did that was an act of war. But you're taking this all much far too personally. What do you think my men would have done to your apes, if you had killed me? Or is killing me more important?

The Debate Over Food Preferences
Gollum
What's it doing?! Stupid, fat Hobbit! It ruins it!
Sam
What's to ruin? There's hardly any meat on them. What we need is a few good taters.
Gollum
What's "taters", precious? What's "taters", eh?
Sam
Po-ta-toes! Boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew. Lovely big golden chips with a nice piece of fried fish. Even you couldn't say no to that.
Gollum
Oh yes, we could! Spoiling nice fish! Give it to us raw, and wriggling! You keeps nasty chips!
Sam
You're opeless.

Seems long ago. Still think about them?
Caesar

Betrayal and Destiny in the Face of Conflict
Snoke
I did not expect Skywalker to be so wise! We will give him and the Jedi Order the death he desires. After the Rebels are gone, we will go to his planet and obliterate the entire island. Such spunk. Look here now. The entire Resistance on those transports. Soon, they will all be gone. For you, all is lost. Oh, still that fiery spit of hope? You have the spirit of a true Jedi! And because of that... you must die. My worthy apprentice, son of darkness, heir apparent to Lord Vader. Where there was conflict, I now sense resolve. Where there was weakness, strength. Complete your training, and fulfill your destiny.
[Rey tries to use the Force to take Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber, but Snoke uses it to hit her on the head; uses the Force to move Rey toward the viewport to show her the Resistance transport ships being destroyed one by one; Rey uses the Force to take Ren's lightsaber; Rey charges at Snoke with Ren's lightsaber. Snoke picks her up with the Force and she lands in front of Ren. His lightsaber spins around and stops in front of him; uses the Force and turns Rey toward Ren]
Ren
I know what I have to do.
[picks up his lightsaber]
Rey
Ben...
Snoke
You think you can turn him? Pathetic child, I cannot be betrayed. I cannot be beaten. I see his mind: I see his every intent. Yes. I see him turning the lightsaber to strike true! And now, foolish child, he ignites it... and KILLS HIS TRUE ENEMY!!!
[laughs; without Snoke knowing, Ren uses the Force to face Anakin's lightsaber toward him]
