(on seeing droid factory) Oh my goodness, shut me down! Machines making machines. How perverse.
I wonder what happened to poor little R2? He's always getting himself into trouble. (his head gets whacked off by a piece of machinery) OH NO!

(As the droid his head's stuck on marches into the arena) What's all this noise? A-a battle! Oh no, there's been some terrible mistake; I'm programmed for etiquette, not destruction!
DIE, JEDI DOGS-- Oh, what did I say?!
Oh, I'm terribly sorry about this!
(on having a super battle droid lying on him) Excuse me? I'm trapped, I can't get up.
(as R2 drags his head across the arena) Now where are you taking me? Oh, this is such a drag.
