Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones Page #2

- Oh, you know, Master.

- I couldn't find a speeder

that I really liked...

- There he is.

with the open cockpit and

the right speed capabilities.

If you spent as much time

practicing your saber techniques

as you do your wit...

you would rival Master Yoda

as a swordsman.

- I thought I already did.

- Only in your mind,

my very young apprentice.

- Pull up, Anakin. Pull up!

- [ Laughing ]

- You know I don't like it

when you do that.

- Sorry, Master.

I forgot you

don't like flying.

I don't mind flying,

but what you're doing is suicide.

Anakin! How many times

have I told you-- Ah!--

- Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!

- stay away from power couplings!

That was good!

Where are you going?

He went that way.

Master, if we keep this chase

going any longer...

that creep is gonna

end up deep-fried...

and, personally, I'd very much

like to find out who he is

and who he's working for.

This is a shortcut.

I think.

Well, you've lost him.

I'm deeply sorry, Master.

That was some shortcut,

Anakin.

He went completely

the other way.

- Once again you've proved--

- If you'll excuse me.

I hate it when he does that.

[ Grunting ]

- [ Engine Accelerating ]

- [ Grunting ]

[ Shouting, Grunting ]

[ Onlookers Murmuring ]

Anakin!

- She went into the club, Master.

- Patience.

Use the Force. Think.

- Sorry, Master.

- He went in there to hide, not to run.

- Yes, Master.

- Next time, try not to lose it.

- Yes, Master.

- This weapon is your life.

I try, Master.

Why do I get the feeling

you're going to be the death of me?

Don't say that, Master. You're

the closest thing I have to a father.

- Then why don't you listen to me?

- I am trying.

[ Cheering, Shouting ]

- Can you see him?

- I think he is a she...

and I think she

is a changeling.

In that case,

be extra careful.

- Go and find her.

- Where are you going, Master?

For a drink.

Thank you.

You wanna buy

some death sticks?

You don't want to

sell me death sticks.

- I don't want to sell you death sticks.

- You want to go home...

- and rethink your life.

- I want to go home and rethink my life.

- [ Patron Shouting In Huttese ]

- [ Patrons Laughing ]

[ Cheering ]

- [ Screaming ]

- [ Patrons Gasping ]

[ Moaning, Grunting ]

Easy.Jedi business.

Go back to your drinks.

- [ Groaning ]

- Do you know who it was

you were trying to kill?

[ Moans ]

It was a senator from Naboo.

And who hired you?

It was just a job.

Who hired you? Tell us.

Tell us now!

It was a bounty hunter called--

[ Gagging ]

Wee shahnit... sleemo.

Toxic dart.

[ Yoda ] Track down this bounty hunter

you must, Obi-Wan.

Most importantly,

find out who he's working for.

What about

Senator Amidala?

She will still

need protecting.

Handle that your Padawan will.

Anakin, escort the senator back

to her home planet of Naboo.

She'll be safer there.

And don't use registered transport.

Travel as refugees.

As the leader of the opposition,

it will be very difficult...

to get Senator Amidala

to leave the capital.

Until caught

this killer is...

our judgment she must respect.

- Hmm.

-[ Windu ] Anakin, go to the senate...

and ask Chancellor Palpatine

to speak with her about this matter.

I will talk with her. Senator Amidala

will not refuse an executive order.

I know her well enough

to assure you of that.

Thank you,

Your Excellency.

And so, they've finally

given you an assignment.

Your patience

has paid off.

Your guidance

more than my patience.

You don't

need guidance, Anakin.

In time, you will learn

to trust your feelings.

Then you will be invincible.

I have said it many times: You are

the most gifted Jedi I have ever met.

Thank you,

Your Excellency.

I see you becoming

the greatest of all theJedi, Anakin...

even more powerful

than Master Yoda.

I am concerned

for my Padawan.

He is not ready to be given

this assignment on his own yet.

[ Yoda ] The council is confident

in its decision, Obi-Wan.

[ Windu ]

The boy has exceptional skills.

But he still has

much to learn, Master.

His abilities have made him,

well, arrogant.

Yes, yes.

A flaw more and more

common among Jedi.

Hmm.

Too sure of themselves

they are.

Even the older,

more experienced ones.

Remember, Obi-Wan,

if the prophecy is true...

your apprentice is the only one who

can bring the Force back into balance.

[ Padm ] I'm taking

an extended leave of absence.

It will be your responsibility

to take my place in the senate.

- Representative Binks,

I know I can count on you.

- Hmm?

Mesa honored to be taking on

dissa heavy burden.

Mesa accept this with muy, muy humility

and, uh--

JarJar, I don't wish

to hold you up.

I'm sure you have

a great deal to do.

Of course.

Milady.

I do not like

this idea of hiding.

Don't worry.

Now that the council

has ordered an investigation...

it won't take Master Obi-Wan long

to find this bounty hunter.

I haven't worked for a year to defeat

the Military Creation Act...

to not be here when

its fate is decided.

Sometimes we must let go of our pride

and do what is requested of us.

Anakin,

you've grown up.

Master Obi-Wan

manages not to see it.

Don't get me wrong.

Obi-Wan is a great mentor.

As wise as Master Yoda and...

as powerful as Master Windu.

I am truly thankful

to be his apprentice.

In some ways--

a lot of ways--

I'm really ahead of him.

I'm ready for the trials...

but he feels that

I'm too unpredictable.

He won't let me move on.

- That must be frustrating.

- It's worse.

He's overly critical.

He never listens.

He-- He doesn't understand.

It's not fair!

All mentors have a way of seeing

more of our faults than we would like.

It's the only way we grow.

[ Sighs ]

I know.

Anakin.

Don't try to grow up too fast.

But I am grown up.

You said it yourself.

Please don't look

at me like that.

- Why not?

- It makes me feel uncomfortable.

Sorry, milady.

- Be safe, milady.

- Thank you, Captain.

Take good care of Dorm.

The threat's on you two now.

He'll be safe with me.

- You'll be fine.

- It's not me, milady.

I worry about you. What if they

realize you've left the capital?

Well, then myJedi protector

will have to prove how good he is.

Anakin.

Don't do anything without first

consulting either myself or the council.

Yes, Master.

I'll get to the bottom

of this plot quickly, milady.

You'll be back here

in no time.

I'll be most grateful for

your speed, MasterJedi.

- It's time to go.

- I know.

Anakin, may the Force

be with you.

May the Force

be with you, Master.

Suddenly I'm afraid.

This is my first assignment

on my own. I am too.

Don't worry.

We have R2 with us.

- [ Laughing ]

- [ Beeping ]

I do hope he doesn't

try anything foolish.

I'd be more concerned

about her doing something than him.

Someone to see ya, honey!

Jedi, by the looks of him.

- Obi-Wan!

- Hello, Dex.

Take a seat.

I'll be right with ya.

- You wanna cup o'jawa juice?

- Oh, yes. Thank you.

Hey, old buddy!
