Masane: So...all of this...was this just...to comfort me?
Takayama: Well, I —
Masane: Never mind. You don't have to tell me.

Bring your love, baby, I could bring my shame
Bring the drugs, baby, I could bring my pain
I got my heart right here
I got my scars right here
Bring the cups, baby, I could bring the drank
Bring your body, baby, I could bring you fame
And that's my motherfucking words too
Just let me motherfucking love you
Bring the drugs, baby, I could bring my pain
I got my heart right here
I got my scars right here
Bring the cups, baby, I could bring the drank
Bring your body, baby, I could bring you fame
And that's my motherfucking words too
Just let me motherfucking love you

You can have my isolation
You can have the hate that it brings
You can have my absence of fate
You can have my everything
(Help me)
You tear down my reason
(Help me)
It's your sex I can smell
(Help me)
You make me perfect
Help me become somebody else
You can have the hate that it brings
You can have my absence of fate
You can have my everything
(Help me)
You tear down my reason
(Help me)
It's your sex I can smell
(Help me)
You make me perfect
Help me become somebody else

Quinlan: I know for a fact you slept with Bail Organa–
Ben: There is no way you have a memory of that!
Quinlan: And I know you would have slept with Breha—
Ben: [shocked] I would– the Queen of Alderaan–
Quinlan: She certainly tried, I mean, she and her husband have an understanding, you know? Alderaani marriages are more about names and lineages than uh…fidelity. [snickers] And she was rather jealous he hadn’t shared.
[Ben opens his mouth but finds himself speechless]
Quinlan: You made her sad. You were one of her and Bail's dearest friends. It wasn't even really about lust. It was more about comfort. They could see you losing yourself. You, and all the Jedi with you, and they just wanted to hold on to you.

"With the venomous kiss you gave me
I'm killing loneliness
With the warmth of your arms to save me
Oh, I'm killing loneliness with you
We're killing loneliness
That turned my heart into a tomb
I'm killing loneliness"
I'm killing loneliness
With the warmth of your arms to save me
Oh, I'm killing loneliness with you
We're killing loneliness
That turned my heart into a tomb
I'm killing loneliness"
