- Vel Sartha: What have you done for him lately?
- Kleya Marki: I don't have lately. I have always. I have a constant blur of plates spinning and knives on the floor and needy, panicked faces at the window, of which you are but one of many.
- Kleya Marki: [Kleya and Luthen are speaking over radio] Where are you?
- Luthen Rael: He wanted to reopen the offer.
- Kleya Marki: And did you close the sale?
- Luthen Rael: I did. It was more expensive than I hoped, but I wasn't in a position to bargain.
- Kleya Marki: So you're coming home?
- Luthen Rael: Depends. I'm most curious about the other piece.
- Kleya Marki: You should come home.
- Luthen Rael: Is it no longer available?

- Luthen Rael: We need that piece. We lose that and we'll have to close shop.
- Kleya Marki: There's nothing more you can do.
- Luthen Rael: That's never true.
- Kleya Marki: It's a crowded market.
- Luthen Rael: You need to think of the consequences of losing that piece to another collector.
- Kleya Marki: I'm preparing for every outcome.
- Luthen Rael: There's only...

- Kleya Marki: Luthen? Luthen?
- Saw Gerrera: Thirty men.
- Luthen Rael: Plus Kreeygr.
- Saw Gerrera: For the greater good.
- Luthen Rael: Call it what you will.
- Saw Gerrera: Let's call it... war.
- Luthen Rael: I didn't want you to have to make this choice
- Saw Gerrera: Thirty men
- Luthen Rael: Plus Kreegyr
- Saw Gerrera: [pauses] for the greater good.
- Luthen Rael: Call it what you will
- Saw Gerrera: Let's call it... War.
