Rex: "So you're telling me that even though you look the same, talk the same, and act the same. You're not clones."
Padmé: "That's right Rex."
Rex: "Nope. Not true. You're clones."
Padmé: "Rex no. That's not how that works. We're merely people who look alike and were trained to act the same."
Rex: "Then why do you act like clones?"
Padmé: "Is there a certain way clones act?"
Rex: "Yes and you act like it."
Padmé: "Pretty sure that's not how that works but you're the clone not me."
Rex: "So you're saying you're a clone."
Padmé: "No. We're not clones."
Sabé: "Yeah, I'm can confirm none of us, minus you are, clones."
Rex: "Then why to you look, talk, and act the same, huh."
Padmé: "Because that is their job. To act as me when I need to switch for a decoy."
Sabé: "When a queen rules Naboo handmaidens are trained to act and behave as the queen so if there's threat to the queen's safety a decoy, one of the handmaidens will switch in for her and take any harm away from the queen. Every queen of Naboo has at least two."
Padmé: "Plus Eirtaé blonde. How can she be a clone of me if she's blonde?"
Rex: "Then explain why there are multiple of you? Also I'm blond and so is Omega and we're clones."
Sabé: "Safety in numbers."
Padmé: "Fair point. On the blonde thing. Not the first part."
Rex: "See you just admitted it."
Padmé: "Rex honey no."
Rex: "YOU ADMITTED IT!! HAHA!!!" *does tiny happy dance*
Padmé: "You're not going to let this go, are you?"
Rex: "Nope"
Sabé: "Rex no.."
Padmé: "Sabé, just let him take this."
Rex: *smugfully cheering in the background*

Anakin (who has been sitting there the whole time): "So by similar logic, does that mean I'm also a clone? Since I only have my mom's dna. Unless the Force has dna."
