Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones Page #4

to inspect the units for yourself.

That's why I'm here.

We used to come here

for school retreat.

We would swim

to that island every day.

I love the water.

We used to lie out on the sand

and let the sun dry us...

and try to guess the names

of the birds singing.

I don't like sand.

It's coarse and rough

and irritating...

and it gets everywhere.

Not like here.

Here, everything is soft...

and smooth.

No.

[ Gasps ]

I shouldn't have done that.

I'm sorry.

- Very impressive.

- I'd hoped you would be pleased.

[ Lama Su ]

Clones can think creatively.

You will find that they are

immensely superior to droids.

We take great pride in our combat

education and training programs.

This group was created

about five years ago.

[ Obi-Wan ] You mentioned

growth acceleration.

[ Lama Su ]

Oh,yes, it's essential.

Otherwise, a mature clone

would take a lifetime to grow.

Now we can do it

in half the time.

[ Obi-Wan ]

I see.

[ Lama Su ]

They are totally obedient...

taking any order

without question.

We modified

their genetic structure...

to make them less independent

than the original host.

And who was

the original host?

A bounty hunter

called Jango Fett.

And where is

this bounty hunter now?

Oh, we keep him here.

[ Lama Su ] Apart from his pay,

which is considerable...

Fett demanded

only one thing:

an unaltered clone

for himself.

- Curious, isn't it?

- ''Unaltered''?

[ Lama Su ]

Pure genetic replication.

No tampering with the structure

to make it more docile...

and no growth acceleration.

I should very much like

to meet this Jango Fett.

I would be very happy

to arrange it for you.

Magnificent, aren't they?

- I don't know.

- [ Chuckles ]

Sure you do.

You just don't want to tell me.

You gonna use one of

yourJedi mind tricks on me?

They only work

on the weak-minded.

All right.

I was 1 2.

His name was Palo. We were both

in the Legislative Youth Program.

He was a few years older than I.

Very cute.

Dark, curly hair.

Dreamy eyes.

All right, I get the picture.

Whatever happened to him?

I went into public service;

he went on to become an artist.

- Maybe he was the smart one.

- You really don't like politicians,

do you?

I like two or three...

but I'm not really sure

about one of them.

[ Both Chuckle ]

I don't think

the system works.

How would you

have it work?

We need a system where the politicians

sit down and discuss the problem...

agree what's in the best interest

of all the people, and then do it.

That's exactly

what we do.

The trouble is that people

don't always agree.

Well, then they

should be made to.

- By whom? Who's gonna make them? You?

- I don't know. Someone.

- Of course not me.

- But someone.

Someone wise.

Sounds an awful lot like

a dictatorship to me.

Well, if it works.

- You're making fun of me.

- No.

I'd be much too frightened

to tease a senator.

[ Creature Bellowing ]

[ Anakin ]

Whoa, whoa!

[ Laughing ]

- [ Bellowing ]

- Oh, whoa! [ Grunting ]

- [ Lowing ]

- [ Grunts, Groans ]

Ani! Ani, are you all right?

[ Laughing ]

[ Both Laughing ]

[ Beeping ]

Boba, is your father here?

Boba, is your father here?

Yep.

May we see him?

Sure.

Dad, Taun We's here.

[ Thunder Rumbling ]

Jango, welcome back.

Was your trip productive?

Fairly.

This is Jedi Master

Obi-Wan Kenobi.

He's come to check

on our progress.

Your clones are very impressive.

You must be very proud.

I'm just a simple man

trying to make my way in the universe.

Ever made your way as far into

the interior as Coruscant?

- Once or twice.

- Recently?

Possibly.

Then you must know

Master Sifo-Dyas.

Uh, Boba,

rood eht so-heeck.

Master who?

[ Obi-Wan ]

Sifo-Dyas.

Is he not theJedi

who hired you for this job?

Never heard of him.

Really?

I was recruited by a man called Tyranus

on one of the moons of Bogden.

Curious.

Do you like your army?

I look forward

to seeing them in action.

They'll do their job well.

I'll guarantee that.

Thank you for

your time,Jango.

Always a pleasure

to meet a Jedi.

[ Thunder Rumbling ]

What is it, Dad?

Pack your things.

We're leaving.

And when I got to them, we went into

aggressive negotiations. Thank you.

''Aggressive negotiations''?

What's that?

Uh, well, negotiations

with a lightsaber.

- [ Laughing ] Oh.

- [ Laughing ]

If Master Obi-Wan caught me

doing this, he'd be very grumpy.

From the moment

I met you...

all those years ago...

not a day has gone by

when I haven't thought of you.

And now that

I'm with you again...

I'm in agony.

The closer I get to you,

the worse it gets.

The thought of

not being with you--

I can't breathe.

I'm haunted by the kiss

that you should never have given me.

My heart is beating...

hoping that that kiss

will not become a scar.

You are in my very soul...

tormenting me.

What can I do?

I will do anything that you ask.

If you are suffering

as much as I am, please, tell me.

I can't.

We can't.

It's...just not possible.

Anything is possible, Padm.

Listen to me.

No, you listen.

We live in a real world.

Come back to it.

You're studying to become a Jedi.

I'm-- I'm a senator.

If you follow your thoughts

through to conclusion...

it'll take us to a place

we cannot go...

regardless of the way

we feel about each other.

Then you do feel something.

I will not let you

give up your future for me.

You are asking me

to be rational.

That is something

I know I cannot do.

Believe me, I wish that I could

just wish away my feelings...

but I can't.

I will not give in to this.

Well, you know, it...

wouldn't have to

be that way.

We could keep it a secret.

We'd be living a lie...

one we couldn't keep

even if we wanted to.

I couldn't do that.

Could you, Anakin?

Could you live like that?

No. You're right.

It would destroy us.

Tell your council that

the first battalions are ready.

And remind them,

if they need more troops...

it will take more time

to grow them.

- I won't forget, and thank you.

- Thank you.

- R4!

- [ Beeping ]

Scramble code five to Coruscant,

care of the old folks' home!

[ Beeping ]

I have successfully made contact

with the prime minister of Kamino.

They are using a bounty hunter named

Jango Fett to create a clone army.

I have a strong feeling

that this bounty hunter...

is the assassin

we are looking for.

Do you think these cloners

are involved in the plot

to assassinate Senator Amidala?

No, Master.

There appears to be no motive.

[ Yoda ] Do not assume

anything, Obi-Wan.

Clear your mind must be...

if you are to discover

the real villains behind this plot.

Yes, Master.

They say Master Sifo-Dyas

placed an order for a clone army...

at the request of the senate

almost ten years ago.

I was under the impression

he was killed before that.

Did the council ever authorize

the creation of a clone army?

No. Whoever placed that order

did not have the authorization

of theJedi Council.

Bring him here.

Question him we will.

Yes, Master.
