That is a good question. You are quite a fearsome terrorist, after all. Your experimentation is infamous. While I see nothing harmful with granting you a few minutes polite conversation, others might be less charitable. I would hate for there to be a misunderstanding with my fine new imPort friends about why I am discussing such matters with the terrible Scarecrow.

[A pause, letting the implications (and flattery) swirl as they will in Crane's mind.]

Yes, I believe it would be wiser to distance myself for now. I have many other pressing matters to concern myself with. I thank you for your courtesy regarding Harleen Quinzel, Doctor Crane. Perhaps we will speak more on these topics another time. Until then, I will hope for your successful rehabilitation.

[Another beat, then:]

Oh. And the name of this philosophy is the Dark Side.

[Fearsome. Infamous. The need for caution. A terror of being associated with him, even if Dooku doesn't particularily care for society's opinion underneath it all.

One can imagine him preening himself, pleased with his own intellect.]

It is by no means irrational that an emotion that frightens everyone throughout the galaxy is referred to as darkness. [He supposes. The phrase itself is simplistic. But the most beautiful things in life can be simple.] But it not the darkness that makes day so bright? Anyway, I digress. This has been a pleasing conversation.
