Master Yoda

Qui-Gon's defiance, I sense in you. Need that, you do not. Agree with you, the council does. Your apprentice, Skywalker will be.

Master Yoda

Always two there are. No more, no less. (pause) A master, and an apprentice.

I have a bad feeling about this.

I don't sense anything.

It's not about the mission, Master. It's something... elsewhere. Elusive.

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.

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?

These Federation types are cowards. The negotiations will be short.

Daultay Dofine

This scheme of yours has failed, Lord Sidious. The blockade is finished. We dare not go against the Jedi.

Viceroy, I don't want to see this stunted slime in my sight again. This turn of events is unfortunate. We must accelerate our plans. Begin landing your troops.

Ah, my lord, is that... legal?

I will make it legal.

And the Jedi?

The Chancellor should never have brought them into this. Kill them immediately.

Yes, my lord. As you wish.

At last we're getting results. Again you come before us your highness.

You will not be so pleased when you hear what I have to say, viceroy. Your trade boycott of our planet has ended.

[smirks]

I was not aware of such failure.

I have word that the chancellor's ambassadors are with you now and that you have been commanded to reach settlement.

I know nothing of any ambassadors. You must be mistaken.

Beware, Viceroy. The Federation has gone too far this time.

We would never do anything without the approval to the senate. You assume too much.

We will see.

A city? Will you take us there?

Uhhh, on second tout...no. Not willy, 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!

Do you hear that?

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!

I'm Ambassador for the Supreme Chancellor. I'm taking those people to Coruscant.

Battle Droid Commander

Where are you taking them?

To Coruscant.

Battle Droid Commander

Coruscant...uhh...that doesn't compute. We...uhh... you're under arrest!

Droid Soldier
(speaking to Jar Jar)

Roger, Roger put your hands in the air.

Captain Tarpals

What do we do now, Jar Jar?

Ohhh... I don't know. I surrender!

Captain Tarpals

Oh, great.

And Queen Amidala, has she signed the treaty?

She has... disappeared, my lord. One Naboo cruiser got past the blockade.

[snarls]

I want that treaty signed!

M-my lord, it-it's impossible to locate the ship. It's out of our range.

Not for a Sith. This is my apprentice, Darth Maul. He will find your lost ship.

This is getting out of hand! Now there are two of them!

Rune Haako

We should have not made this bargain.

Are you an angel?

An angel. I've heard the deep space pilots talk about them. They're the most beautiful creatures in the universe. They live on the moon of Iego, I think.

You're a funny little boy. How do you know so much?

I listen to all the traders and star pilots who came through here. I'm a pilot, you know, and someday I'm going to fly away from this place.

You're a pilot?

Mmhm. All my life.

How long have you been here?

Since I was very little, three, I think. My Mom and I were sold to Gardola the Hutt, but he lost us betting on the pod races.

You're a slave?

I'm a person and my name is Anakin.

How are you going to pay for all this?

I have twenty thousand Republic dataries.

Republic credits? Republic credits are no good out here. I need something more real.

[gesturing to nudge Watto's mind]

I don't have anything else, but credits will do fine.

No, they won't!

[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!

I want to see your spaceship the moment the race is over!

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.

Sebulba

You won't walk away from this one, you slave scum!

Don't count on it, slime ball!

Sebulba

You're Bantha fodder!

Master Yoda

Master Qui-Gon. More to say, have you?

With your permission, my master, I have encountered a vergence in the Force.

Master Yoda

A vergence, you say?

Located around a person?

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?

Chancellor Valorum

The chair recognizes the senator from the sovereign system of Naboo.

Supreme Chancellor, delegates of the senate, a tragedy has occurred... which started right here with the taxation of trade routes... and has now engulfed our entire planet... in the oppression of the Trade Federation.

Senator Dod

This is outrageous! I object to the senator's statements!

Chancellor Valorum

The chair does not recognize the senator from the Trade Federation at this time.

To state our allegations, I present Queen Amidala, recently elected ruler of the Naboo, who speaks on our behalf.

Honourable representatives of the Republic, I come to you under the gravest of circumstances. The Naboo system has been invaded by the droid armies of the Trade -- [interrupted by Senator Dod]

Senator Dod

I object! There is no proof! This is incredible. We recommend a commission be sent to Naboo to ascertain the truth.

Senator Teem

The Congress of Malastare concurs with the honourable delegate from the Trade Federation. A commission must be appointed.

Chancellor Valorum

The point -- [interrupted by the bureaucrat]

Bureaucrat

Excuse me, Chancellor. [whispers to Chancellor Valorum]

[Whispers to Queen Amidala]

Enter the bureaucrat. The true rulers of the Republic, and on the payroll of the Trade Federation, I might add. This is where Chancellor Valorum's strength will disappear.

Chancellor Valorum

The point is conceded. Will you defer your motion to allow a commission to explore the validity of your accusations?

I will not defer. I've come before you to resolve this attack on our sovereignty now. I was not elected to watch my people suffer and die while you discuss this invasion in a committee! If this body is not capable of action, I suggest new leadership is needed. I move for a vote of no confidence in Chancellor Valorum's leadership!

Senators
[Chanting]

Vote now, vote now...!

Now they will elect a new Chancellor, a strong Chancellor, one who will not let our tragedy continue.

Master Yoda

How feel you?

Cold, sir.

Master Yoda

Afraid, are you?

No, sir.

Master Yoda

See through you, we can.

Be mindful of your feelings.

Your thoughts dwell on your mother.

I miss her.

Master Yoda

Afraid to lose her, I think, hmm?

What has that got to do with anything?

Master Yoda

Everything! Fear is the path to the Dark Side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. I sense much fear in you.

The Force is strong with him.

He's to be trained, then.

No. He will not be trained.

He is too old.

He is the Chosen One! You must see it!

Master Yoda

Hmmm. Clouded, this boy's future is.

I will train him, then. I take Anakin as my Padawan learner.

Master Yoda

An apprentice, you have, Qui-Gon. Impossible, to take on a second.

The code forbids it.

Obi-Wan is ready--

I am ready to face the trials.

Master Yoda

Our own council, we will keep, on who is ready.

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.

Master Yoda

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.

Master Yoda

May the Force be with you.

Master, sir, I heard Yoda talking about midi-chlorians. I've been wondering...what are midi-chlorians?

Midi-chlorians are a microcopic lifeform that reside within all living cells and communicates with the Force.

They live inside of me?

In your cells, yes. We are symbionts with them-

Symbionts?

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.

With time and training, Annie, you will. You will.

Master Yoda

Confer on you the level of Jedi Knight, the Council does. But agree on you taking this boy as your Padawan learner, I do not.

Qui-Gon believed in him.

Master Yoda

The Chosen One, the boy may be. Nevertheless, grave danger I fear in his training.

Master Yoda, I gave Qui-Gon my word. I will train Anakin. Without the approval of the Council if I must.

Master Yoda

Qui-Gon's defiance, I sense in you. Need that, you do not. Agree, the council does. Your apprentice, Skywalker will be.

[After Darth Maul's death]

There's no doubt that the mysterious warrior was a Sith.

Master Yoda

Always two there are. No more, no less. A master... and an apprentice.

But which was destroyed? The master or the apprentice?
