Heartbreak on Mustafar

Padme says, "you're breaking my heart, Ani!"
Anakin replies, "Senator Palpatine is our only hope! The Jedi are out of control."
Padme shouts, "Anakin, why are you talking like that?! You're breaking my heart!"
Anakin replies, "Padme, Master Windu and the Council have plotted a coup. I had to stop them ... I think Senator Antilles was in on it."
Padme is getting hysterical. "No, I don't believe you, Ani! The Jedi have always served! They won't turn traitor now. It's Palpatine, He's twisted you. You're breaking my heart!!"
Anakin defends his master. "NO! Palpatine is going to bring order to the Galaxy, rein in the Senate just like we always dreamed!"
Padme begins to see she's losing Anakin. "Just like /you/ always dreamed, Ani! I should have realized sooner you would never stop being a 'slave'."
Anakin replies, "I'm not a slave! I'm a person! You're supposed to be my angel, why do you keep talking like this?!"
Padme accepts the truth. "Obi-Wan told me you ... killed Younglings! Oh Ani, no."
Anakin replies, "what? You talked to Obi-Wan? He's in on the conspiracy! So were the Younglings and Master Yoda. I had to make the Republic safe. The War is so close to being over, why can't you understand?"
Padme reminds Anakin of his past sins. "What about the Sandpeople on Tatooine? The women and the children? Were they conspiring to overthrow Palpatine too? Don't you see, Ani?"
Darth Vader's face contorts with rage. "THEY WERE ANIMALS AND I SLAUGHTERED THEM LIKE ANIMALS! They killed my mother, you know that!"
Padme covers her mouth in shock at the sight of the Dark Side consuming Anakin. "Oh Ani, no."
