- Narrator: Clone troopers unite! As war rages across the galaxy, the Republic's clone army strives for victory against the evil forces of the Separatists. Bravery, valor, unity - the lifeblood of victory on the battlefield and in space. It all begins on the planet Kamino, where Jedi General Shaak Ti oversees the training of clones with the help of contracted bounty hunters. Bred to be perfect soldiers, these cadets must first be subjected to intense physical and mental training before heading off to war...
- 99: The army's lucky to have a clone like you, Hevy.
- Hevy: Not as lucky as I am to have a brother like you.
- 99: Well, this is goodbye I guess. Hevy ships out and 99 stays here.
- Hevy: Ah, we'll see each other again. I mean, how else am I supposed to get this back from ya?
- [hands over his newly acquired medal]
- Hevy: You deserve it. You're one of us.
- 99: Well, maybe you should embrace the fact that you have a team. See, I never had that. But you need them, and they need you. Why carry such a heavy burden on your own when you have your brothers at your side?
- 99: Hevy. You going somewhere?
- Hevy: Get out of here.
- 99: You're going AWOL, aren't you.
- Hevy: Just go back to sleep, 99. This doesn't concern you.
- 99: But you can't do this to your squad.
- Hevy: My squad? We're nothing but a bad batch - failures, like you.
- 99: Yeah but how can I be a failure when I never even got my chance? A chance you're throwing away. You're always trying to be the anchor, Hevy, you know, do it on your own. Well, maybe you should embrace the fact that you have a team. See, I never had that. But you need them, and they need you. Why carry such a heavy burden on your own when you have your brothers at your side, Hevy?
- Hevy: Hevy? Would - stop calling me that! We're just numbers, 99. Just numbers.
- 99: Not to me. To me, you've always had a name.
- Echo: General, may we have a word?
- Shaak Ti: You are here to discuss your squad, aren't you?
- Fives: How did you...
- Echo: Ah, Jedi, mate.
- Shaak Ti: One doesn't need to be a Jedi to feel the stress on your mind.
- Echo: General, we would like to request a transfer to another squad.
- Fives: Bravo Squad, perhaps?
- Shaak Ti: I am a Jedi, where the individual and the group are one and the same, much like you clones.
- Echo: Which is why Fives and I are looking out for each other.
- Shaak Ti: As individuals, but not as a group. You are where you need to be. Solve your problems as a whole, not as individuals. I have decided to allow you and the rest of your squad to take the test again tomorrow.
- Cutup: You wanted to see me, sir.
- Bric: Near as I can tell, you're the reason your squad's a failure.
- Cutup: Ah, well, I'll take that as a compliment.
- Bric: It's all a big joke to you, right? Like those little nicknames you and your clone brothers give to each other.
- Cutup: [chuckles] Oh, I could think of one for you right now, sir.
- Bric: Oh, funny. But I think it's all just a cover. You hate me, don't you?
- Cutup: Oh, no. No, no, no. How could I hate you for doing your job? You're just pushing me, sir.
- Bric: No, this is me pushing you.
- [pushes Cutup]
- Bric: Come on, clone. Hit me. Hit me, you joker. Can't take anything seriously, can you? You're a real cutup, aren't you?
- [punches Cutup]
- Cutup: Uhh!
- Bric: Come on.
- Cutup: Thank you, sir.
- Bric: For what?
- Cutup: For my name - Cutup. I like the sound of it.
- Bric: Out of my sight, cadet. One way or another, you'll be out of this army. Count on it.
