After Anakin claims that "in some ways, a lot of ways, I'm really ahead of [Obi-Wan]," expresses his frustration that Obi-Wan "won't let me move on," and gives a further list of complaints, Padmé placates him by saying, "All mentors have a way of seeing more of our faults than we would like. It's the only way we grow." In a sort of defeated manner, he admits, "I know" and sits down. Padmé then says, "Anakin, don't try to grow up too fast," and he replies, "But I am grown up." Significantly, he stands up as he says this, as if trying to prove his point by showing that he's taller than she is.
