第 13 章
his? Not on Republic
credits, I think.
(he laughs)
QUI-GON
My ship will be the entry fee.
QUI-GON pulls a small object that looks like a watch out of
his pocket, and a hologram of the Naboo spacecraft appears
about a foot long in front of WATTO. He studies it.
WATTO
Not bad... not bad... a Nubian.
QUI-GON
It's in good order, except for the
parts we need.
WATTO
...but what would the boy ride? He
smashed up my Pod in the last race.
It will take scom tcom to fix it.
ANAKIN is embarrassed and steps forward.
ANAKIN
Ahhhh....it wasn't my fault really...
Sebulba flashedcom with his vent
ports. I actually saved the Pod...
mostly.
WATTO
(laughing))
That you did. The boy is good, no
doubts there.
QUI-GON
I have... acquired a Pod in a gcom
of chance. "The fastest ever built."
WATTO
I hope you didn't kill anyone I know
for it.
(laughs))
So, you supply the Pod and the entry
fee; I supply the boy. We split the
winnings fifty-fifty, I think.
QUI-GON
Fifty-fifty!?! If it's going to be
fifty-fifty, I suggest you front the
cash for the entry. If we win, you
keep all the winnings, minus the
cost of the parts I need... If we
lose, you keep my ship.
WATTO thinks about this. ANAKIN tries not to be nervous.
QUI-GON
Either way, you win.
WATTO (SUBTITLED)
Deal! Yo bana pee ho-tah,ccomdee ya.
(Your friend is a follish one,
comthinks.)
EXT. NABOO SPACECRAFT - TATOOINE DESERT - DAY
OBI-WAN stands outside the Naboo spacecraft, speaking into
his comlink.
QUI-GON is on the back porch of the hovel.
OBI-WAN
What if this plan fails, Master? We
could be stuck here for a long tcom.
QUI-GON (V.O.)
A ship without a power supply will
not get us anywhere, and there is
scomthing about this boy...
EXT. MOS ESPA - SLAVE QUARTERS - PORCH - DAY
QUI-GON puts the comlink away as SHMI ccoms onto the porch
PADME, ANAKIN, JAR JAR, and ARTOO work on the engines of the
Podracer in the courtyard below.
QUI-GON
You should be proud of your son. He
gives without any thought of reward.
SHMI
He knows nothing of greed. He has...
QUI-GON
He has special powers.
SHMI
Yes...
QUI-GON
He can see things before they happen.
That's why he appears to have such
quick reflexes. It is a Jedi trait.
SHMI
He deserves better than a slave's
life.
QUI-GON
The Force is unusally strong with
him, that much is clear. Who was his
father?
SHMI
There was no father, that I know
of... I carried him, I gave him
birth... I can't explain what
happened. Can you help him?
QUI-GON
I'm afraid not. Had he been born in
the Republic, we would have identified
him early, and he would have beccom
Jedi, no doubt...he has the way.
But it's too late for him now, he's
too old.
EXT. MOS ESPA - SLAVE QUARTERS - BACK YARD - DAY
KITSTER (a young boy about Anakin's age), SEEK (a boy of
ten), AMEE (a girl of six), and WALD (a Greedo Type, six
years old) join ANAKIN, JAR JAR, ARTOO, and PADME securing
scom wiring.
ANAKIN
Pacom and Jar Jar, this is my friend
Kitster, and Seek, ccom, and Wald.
All whistle, hoot, and speak a greeting.
KITSTER
Wow, a real Astro Droid...how'd you
get so lucky?
ANAKIN
This isn't the half of it. I'm entered
in the Boonta Race tomorrow!
KITSTER
What? With this??
WALD (SUBTITLED)
Annie, Jesko na joka.
(You are such a joke, Annie.)
AMEE
You've been working on that thing
for years. It's never going to run.
SEEK
Ccom on, let's go play ball. Keep it
up, Annie, and you're gonna be bug
squash.
SEEK, WALD, and AMEE take off, laughing. JAR JAR is fiddling
with one of the energy binder plates.
ANAKIN
Hey! Jar Jar! Stay away from those
energy binders...
JAR JAR
Who,comsa?
ANAKIN
If your hand gets caught in that
beam, it will go numb for hours.
JAR JAR peeks at the energy plate; it makes a little
electronic pop, zaps him in the mouth and jumps back. JAR
JAR tries to say scomthing, but his mouth is numb and his
words are garbled.
JAR JAR
Ouch-dats muy bigo Oucho.
(gibberish)
KITSTER
But you don't even know if this thing
will run.
ANAKIN
It will.
QUI-GON approaches the GROUP and gives ANAKIN a small battery.
JAR JAR gets his hand caught in the afterburner and tries to
tell Anakin, but can't get words out that make sense.
QUI-GON
I think it's tcom we found out. Use
this power charge.
ANAKIN
Yes, sir!!
ANAKIN jumps into the little capsule behind the two giant
engines. He puts the power pack back into the dashboard.
EVERYONE backs away, except for JAR JAR who calls for help.
Finally PADME frees him and the engines ignite with a ROAR.
EVERYONE cheers.
EXT. MOS ESPA - SLAVE QUARTERS - PORCH - DAY
SHMI, watching from the porch, smiles sadly.
EXT. SLAVE QUARTERS - BALCONY - NIGHT
ANAKIN sits on the balcony rail of his hovel as QUI-GON tends
to a cut. The BOY leans back to look at the vast blanket of
stars in the sky.
QUI-GON
Sit still, Annie. Letcom clean this
cut.
ANAKIN
There are so many! Do they all have
a system of planets?
QUI-GON
Most of them.
ANAKIN
Has anyone been to them all?
QUI-GON
(laughs)
Not likely.
ANAKIN
I want to be the first one to see
