Another Political Line Cut from Star Wars

This one from Episode II:

COUNT DOOKU: As I explained to you earlier, I'm quite convinced that ten thousand more systems will rally to our cause with your support, gentlemen.

Signing this treaty will bring you profits beyond your wildest imagination. What we are proposing is completely free trade.
