“Rey….wherever you are…You are hard to find.

“You are hard to get rid of.”

“I pushed you in the desert because I needed to see it…I needed you to see it…who you are. The Dark Side is your birthright. Rey…”

“You’re lying.”

“You were right…your parents were no one. Your father had no part in your conception.”

“Don’t!”

“You are so like my grandfather. So like Darth Vader….”

“I don’t want this!”

“…destined for evil.”

“No!”

“Your parents sent you away.”

(Rey sees the vision of her parents and her abandonment.)

“They paid for your protection…in more than one way.”

“Stop talking.”

“Rey…I know what happened to them.”

(Cutaway to heroes capture)

“Your parents knew you were different, even then. They went to Jakku, seeking Luke’s disciples. They were desperate for his protection. But an agent of the Emperor found them first.”

(Rey sees her parents get killed.)

“So that’s where you are.”

“You know why the Emperor’s always wanted you dead. I’ll come tell you.”

“Why did the Emperor come for me? Why did he want to kill a child? Tell me.”

“Because he created you, through the Force…like he created Darth Vader…to be his heir. Rey…you’re a Palpatine.”

“The Emperor told me to kill you so that I may ascend to the throne. But we share the Emperor’s power. It is our birthright, Rey. We can destroy him…and bring a new order to the galaxy…together.”

“You know what you need to do. You know.”

“I know.”

Then when Palpatine is draining their life force:

“The life force of your bond…the life I gave you…a power like life itself. I shall take back what is mine. And now, the power of two restores the one true Emperor.”
