7 quotes Qui-Gon Jinn Qui-Gon Jinn The ability to speak does not make you intelligent, now get out of here.
Qui-Gon Jinn Remember, concentrate on the moment. Feel, don't think. Use your instincts.
Qui-Gon Jinn He is the Chosen One, you must see it.
Qui-Gon Jinn [last lines]
Obi-Wan, promise me you will train the boy. He...is the Chosen One...he will bring balance. Train him.
Qui-Gon Jinn There's always a bigger fish.
Qui-Gon Jinn That is the sound of a thousand terrible things all headed this way.
Scenes with Qui-Gon Jinn
14 scenesI have a bad feeling about this.
Qui-Gon Jinn I don't sense anything.
It's not about the mission, Master. It's something... elsewhere. Elusive.
Qui-Gon Jinn Don't center on your anxieties, Obi-Wan. Keep your concentration here and now, where it belongs.
But Master Yoda says I should be mindful of the future.
Qui-Gon Jinn But not at the expense of the moment. Be mindful of the living Force, my young Padawan.
Yes, Master. How do you think the trade viceroy will deal with the chancellor's demands?
Qui-Gon Jinn These Federation types are cowards. The negotiations will be short.
Qui-Gon Jinn A city? Will you take us there?
Uhhh, on second tout...no. Not willy, no.
Qui-Gon Jinn No?
Tis embarassing, but my afraid mys been banished. Da Bosses will do terrible tings to me! Tewiwible tings to me if me goin back dere!
Qui-Gon Jinn Do you hear that?
Yeah.
Qui-Gon Jinn That is the sound of thousand terrible things headed this way.
If they find us, they will crush us, grind us into tiny pieces and blast us into oblivion.
Hmm... yousa point is well seen. Dis way, hurry!
Battle Droid Commander Halt!
Qui-Gon Jinn I'm Ambassador for the Supreme Chancellor. I'm taking those people to Coruscant.
Battle Droid Commander Where are you taking them?
Qui-Gon Jinn To Coruscant.
Battle Droid Commander Coruscant...uhh...that doesn't compute. We...uhh... you're under arrest!
How are you going to pay for all this?
Qui-Gon Jinn I have twenty thousand Republic dataries.
Republic credits? Republic credits are no good out here. I need something more real.
Qui-Gon Jinn [gesturing to nudge Watto's mind]
I don't have anything else, but credits will do fine.
No, they won't!
Qui-Gon Jinn [nudging harder]
: Credits will do fine.
No, they won't! What, you think you're some kind of Jedi, waving your hand around like that? I'm a Toydarian! Mind tricks don't work on me, only money! No money, no parts, no deal!
You're a Jedi Knight, aren't you?
Qui-Gon Jinn What makes you think that?
I saw your laser sword. Only Jedi carry that kind of weapon.
Qui-Gon Jinn Perhaps I killed a Jedi and took it from him.
I don't think so. No one can kill a Jedi.
Qui-Gon Jinn I wish that were so.
Are you sure about this; trusting our fate to a boy we hardly know? The Queen will not approve.
Qui-Gon Jinn The Queen doesn't need to know.
Well I don't approve.
I want to see your spaceship the moment the race is over!
Qui-Gon Jinn Patience, my blue friend. You'll have your winnings before the suns set, and we'll be far away from here.
Not if your ship belongs to me, I think! I warn you: no funny business.
You Jedi are far too reckless. The Queen trusts--
Qui-Gon Jinn The Queen trusts my judgement, young handmaid. And you should too.
You assume too much.
Qui-Gon Jinn Anakin Skywalker, meet Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Hi. You're a Jedi too! Pleased to meet you.
Master Qui-Gon. More to say, have you?
Qui-Gon Jinn With your permission, my master, I have encountered a vergence in the Force.
A vergence, you say?
Located around a person?
Qui-Gon Jinn A boy. His cells have the highest concetration of midi-chlorians I have seen in a life-form. It was possible he was concieved by the midi-chlorians.
You refer to the prophecy of The One who will bring balance to the Force. You believe it's this boy?
Do not defy the council, Master, not again.
Qui-Gon Jinn I shall do what I must, Obi-Wan.
The Force is strong with him.
Qui-Gon Jinn He's to be trained, then.
No. He will not be trained.
Qui-Gon Jinn No?!
He is too old.
Qui-Gon Jinn He is the Chosen One! You must see it!
Hmmm. Clouded, this boy's future is.
Qui-Gon Jinn I will train him, then. I take Anakin as my Padawan learner.
An apprentice, you have, Qui-Gon. Impossible, to take on a second.
The code forbids it.
Qui-Gon Jinn Obi-Wan is ready--
I am ready to face the trials.
Our own council, we will keep, on who is ready.
Qui-Gon Jinn He is headstrong and he has much to learn about the living Force, but he is capable. There is little more he will learn from me.
Young Skywalker's fate will be decided later.
Now is not the time for this. The Senate is voting for a new Supreme Chancellor and Queen Amidala is returning home, which will put pressure on the Federation and could widen the confrontation.
And draw out the Queen's attacker.
Go with the Queen to Naboo and discover the identity of the dark warrior. This is the clue we need to unravel this mystery of the Sith.
May the Force be with you.
Master, sir, I heard Yoda talking about midi-chlorians. I've been wondering...what are midi-chlorians?
Qui-Gon Jinn Midi-chlorians are a microcopic lifeform that reside within all living cells and communicates with the Force.
They live inside of me?
Qui-Gon Jinn In your cells, yes. We are symbionts with them-
Symbionts?
Qui-Gon Jinn Life forms living together for mutual advantage. Without the midi-chlorians, life could not exist, and we would have no knowledge of the Force. They continually speak to you, telling you the will of the Force. When you learn to quiet your mind, you will hear them speaking to you.
I don't understand.
Qui-Gon Jinn With time and training, Annie, you will. You will.
Qui-Gon Jinn [dying]
Uhh, it's too late, it's...
No!
Qui-Gon Jinn Obi-Wan, promise... Promise me you will train the boy.
Yes, master.
Qui-Gon Jinn He... is the Chosen One. He... will bring balance... Train him.
