[Chancellor Palpatine]

Palpatine is a liber-in-conservative clothing sent here to disrupt things.

Hey, I didn't realize I was sent to disrupt. I should be getting paid if I was sent. Were either of you sent? Fess up.

SSSSHHHH! Don't let the secret out to the masses! Can't you keep a secret even after we were given the lecture on "loose lips sink ships" and everything? Humpf.

You think I would admit it if I was sent by the FBI/CIA/NSA/Masonic/Trilateral Commission/JBT society to monitor specific threads about guns to use my special hi-tech equipment to breath down the necks and trace the home addresses of the people who piss me off, so I can cart them off to the Gulags in the Statist/Police/Nazi States of America?

Are you asking me "on the record"? I can neither confirm nor deny, etc.
