It's a special moment in a roleplaying game when a player notices some aspect of an NPC's personality. Unfortunately it's impossible to be adequately prepared for it. It's just one of those things you have to play by ear when it happens, because it's so rare and unpredictable.

[SFX]: {performers singing} We are the Galaxy, We are the Gungans!
Palpatine: How did your first day on the Jedi Council go?
Anakin: Guards, leave us.
Guard: Sir?
Palpatine: Do as he says.
Anakin: They got me to do menial tasks. I need more authority.
[SFX]: {performers singing} We're saving our own lives...
Palpatine: Impossible. These things take time; true respect needs to be cultivated.
Anakin: I don't seek their respect, just yours.
Palpatine: Then you should respect my authority.
Anakin: Touché.
Anakin: But seriously, in order to uncover the Sith I need clearance to go through the classified Jedi Archives. Other Council Members can, why not me?
Palpatine: That is Master Windu's domain.
Anakin: With respect, Master Windu couldn't spot a Sith if he was one.
[SFX]: {performers singing} Do they know it's Life Day time at all?
Palpatine: <sigh> You have a point.
