It wasn’t that he didn’t know what to do at parties. He just found them viscerally boring: like getting dressed for a big night out and then spending your evening in an intermission lobby, bumping against people you vaguely recognize and

“Come on, then, Kenobi! Come for me!” he said. “I have been trained in your Jedi arts by Lord Tyranus himself!”
“Do you mean Count Dooku? What a curious coincidence,” Obi-Wan said with a deceptively pleasant smile. “I trained the man who killed him.”

“I am called a great swordsman because I invented a lethal style; but who is greater, the creator of a killing form—or the master of the classic form?”
“I’m very flattered that you would consider me a master, but really—”
“Not a master. The master,” Mace had said. “Be who you are, and Grievous will never defeat you.”
So now, facing the tornado of annihilating energy that is Grievous’s attack, Obi-Wan simply is who he is.”

“When Banks Fail, It Is Seldom Bankers Who Starve. Your Actions Have Taken Money From Those Who Had Little Enough To Begin With. In A Myriad Small Ways You Have Hastened The Deaths Of Many. You Did Not Know Them. You Did Not See Them Bleed. But You Snatched Bread From Their Mouths And Tore Clothes From Their Backs. For Sport, Mr. Lipvig. For Sport. For The Joy Of The Game."
Moist's mouth had dropped open. It shut. It opened again. It shut again. You can never find repartee when you need it.
"You're nothing but a walking flowerpot, Pump 19," he snapped. "Where did that come from?"
"I Have Read The Details Of Your Many Crimes, Mr. Lipvig. And Pumping Water Teaches One The Value Of Rational Thought. You Took From Others Because You Were Clever And They Were Stupid.”

“General Grievous,” he said, “you’re under arrest.”
The bio-droid general stalked toward him, passing through his screen of bodyguards without the slightest hint of reluctance. “Kenobi. Don’t tell me, let me guess: this is the part where you give me the chance to surrender.”
“It can be,” Obi-Wan allowed equably. “Or, if you like, it can be the part where I dismantle your exoskeleton and ship you back to Coruscant in a cargo hopper.”
“I’ll take option three.” Grievous lifted his hand, and the bodyguards moved to box Obi-Wan between them. “That’s the one where I watch you die.”

“And one last tough. Let's let the Chancellor know, through Anakin, that our most cunning and insightful Master--and our most tenacious--is to lead the hunt for Grievous."
"So Sidious will need to act, and act fast, if the war is to be maintained," Plo Koon added approvingly.
Yoda nodded judiciously. "Agreed." Agen Kolar assented as well, and Ki-Adi-Mundi.
“This sounds like a good plan,” Obi-Wan said. “But what Master do you have in mind?”
For a moment no one spoke, as though astonished he would ask such a question.
Only after a few seconds in which Obi-Wan looked from the faces of one Master to the next, puzzled by the expressions of gentle amusement each and every one of them wore, did it finally register that all of them were looking at *him.*”
