Darth Vader: Director Krennic.

Krennic: Lord Vader.

Vader: You seem unsettled.

Krennic: No, just... pressed for time. There's a great many things to attend to...

Vader: [sarcastically] My apologies. You do have a great many things to explain.

Krennic: [looking nervous; as Vader gets closer to him] I delivered the weapon the Emperor requested. I deserve an audience to make certain he understands its remarkable... potential.

Vader: Its power to create problems has certainly been confirmed. A city destroyed. An Imperial facility openly attacked.

Krennic: It was Governor Tarkin who suggested the test.

Vader: You were not summoned here to grovel, Director Krennic.

Krennic: No, it's—

Vader: There is no Death Star. The Senate has been informed that Jedha was destroyed in a mining disaster.

Krennic: [resigned] Yes, my lord.

Krennic: [Vader stops walking, his back facing Krennic; stops breathing, and falls to the ground. Vader turns around with his arm partly raised, showing that he's Force-choking Krennic] So I'm still in command? You'll speak to the Emperor about--

Vader: [releases his Force-grip and walks away, leaving Krennic gasping on the ground] Be careful not to choke on your aspirations, Director.
