Admiral Tarkin: Emperor Palpatine’s priorities have changed. With the war at an end, the need for future clones is being questioned.
Lama Su: Our contracts stipulate the continued production.
Admiral Tarkin: Your contracts were with the Republic, which no longer exists.
Lama Su: Surely you realize the precarious state this newly formed Empire is in. Clone troopers will be needed to maintain order throughout the galaxy.

Lama Su: The skill level and efficiency of our clones is far superior to that of any recruited body.
