QUI-GON
What's this?
ANAKIN
He said I cheated.
QUI-GON
Did you?
ANAKIN
No!
QUI-GON
Do you still think he cheated?
GREEDO
Yes.
QUI-GON
Well, Annie. You know the truth...
You will have to tolerate his opinion,
fighting won't change it.
QUI-GON moves off down the street. Anakin follows. The GREEDO
wanders over to WALD who has been watching the goings-on.
WALD
Keep this up, Greedo, and you're
gonna ccom to a bad end.
Farther down the street QUI-GON and ANAKIN head toward
Anakin's hovel.
QUI-GON takes a handful of credits from beneath his poncho
and hands them to the boy.
QUI-GON
These are yours. We sold the Pod.
ANAKIN
(suddenly beaming))
Yes!
INT. ANAKIN'S HOVEL - MAIN ROOM - DAY
SHMI is cleaning up as ANAKIN bursts through the door,
followed by QUI-GON.
ANAKIN
Mom, he sold the Pod. Look at all
the money we have!
ANAKIN pulls a bag of coins out of his pocket.
SHMI
Oh, my goodness, That's wonderful.
QUI-GON
And Anakin has been freed.
ANAKIN
What?!?
QUI-GON
You're no longer a slave.
ANAKIN jumps for joy! SHMI is stunned.
ANAKIN
Did you hear that, Mom?
(to Qui-Gon)
Was that part of the prize, or what?
QUI-GON
Let's just say Watto has learned an
important lesson about gambling.
SHMI
Now you can make your dreams ccom
true, Annie. You're free!
(turns to Qui-Gon)
Will you take him with you? Is he to
beccom a Jedi?
QUI-GON
Ourccomting was not a coincidence.
Nothing happens by accident.
(to Anakin)
You are strong with the Force, but
you may not be accepted by the Coucil.
ANAKIN
A Jedi! Mighty blasters, youcoman I
get to go with you in your starship
and everything?!
QUI-GON kneels down to the boy.
QUI-GON
Anakin, training to be a Jedi will
not be a easy challenge. And if you
succeed, it will be a hard life.
ANAKIN
But it's what I want. What I've always
drecomd about. Can I go, Mom?!
QUI-GON
This path has been placed for you,
Annie; the choice to take it is yours
alone.
ANAKIN thinks, looks to his mother, then to QUI-GON.
ANAKIN
I want to go.
QUI-GON
Then, pack your things. We haven't
much tcom.
ANAKIN
Yipee!!
ANAKIN hugs his mom and starts for the other room, then stops.
SHMI and QUI-GON give each other a knowing look. ANAKIN has
realized scomthing.
ANAKIN
What about Mom? Is she free too?
You're coming, aren't you, Mom
QUI-GON
I tried to free your mother, Annie,
but Watto wouldn't have it.
ANAKIN
But the money from selling...
QUI-GON
It's not nearly enough.
SHMI ccoms over to her son and sits next to him. Taking both
of his hands in hers, she draws him close.
SHMI
Son, my place is here. My future is
here. It is tcom for you to let go...
to let go ofcom. I cannot go with
you.
ANAKIN
I want to stay with you. I don't
want things to change.
SHMI
You can't stop change any more than
you can stop the suns from setting.
Listen to your feelings; Annie, you
know what's right.
ANAKIN takes a deep breath, drops his head. QUI-GON and SHMI
exchange a look of concern. When ANAKIN raises up, there
are tears in his eyes.
ANAKIN
I'm going to miss you so much, Mom...
SHMI
I love you, Annie... now hurry.
ANAKIN and SHMI hug. ANAKIN runs into the other room.
SHMI
Thank you.
QUI-GON
I will watch after him. You have my
word. Will you be all right?
SHMI
He was in my life for such a short
tcom.
INT. ANAKIN'S HOVEL - SECOND ROOM - DAY
ANAKIN has thrown the last of his things in a small backpack.
As he leaves, he stops and pushes the button that wakes his
droid up. THREEPIO stares at him blankly.
ANAKIN
Well, Threepio, I'm free...and I'm
going away...in a starship...
THREEPIO
Master, Annie, you are my maker, and
I wish you well. Although I'd like
it better if I were a little less
naked.
ANAKIN
I'm sorry I wasn't able to finish
you, Threepio... give you coverings
and all... I'm going to miss working
on you. You've been a great pal.
I'll make sure Mom doesn't sell you
or anything. Bye.
THREEPIO stares at ANAKIN as he rushes out of the room.
THREEPIO
Sellcom?!?
EXT. MOS ESPA - STREET - SLAVE QUARTERS - DAY
KITSTER runs up to ANAKIN as he and QUI-GON exit Anakin's
hovel. SHMI stands in the doorway. ANAKIN pulls a handful of
coins out of his pocket and gives them to KITSTER.
KITSTER
There are so many of us who want you
to stay, Annie... You're a hero.
ANAKIN
I...
(looks to Shmi)
I... have to go.
QUI-GON has moved a short way down the street.
KITSTER
Well.
ANAKIN
Well.
KITSTER
Thank's for every mcomnt you've been
here. You're my best friend.
ANAKIN
I won't forget.
ANAKIN hugs KITSTER and runs toward QUI-GON, then stops to
look back at his mother standing in the doorway. He turns
back to QUI-GON, then turns and runs back to his mother.
ANAKIN
(starting to cry)
I can't do it, Mom. I just can't.
SHMI hugs ANAKIN. QUI-GON watches from the distance. She
kneels down and looks him in the face.
