[That's unexpected, but pleasant he finds.] I should spend as much time with them as possible. Now that I know of them, I will. Luke will not be a Jedi. He will follow in my footsteps, which will make your path much easier.
[His eyes flash; he needs Obi-Wan out of the way. If he's not -] Someday...? That might not be soon enough. He will never stop defying me. I know him.
[Anakin summons his lightsaber into his hand and brings out the blade.] Let me see what you can do, grandson.
