INT. COCKPIT, NABOO STARFIGHTER - DAY
(sc. 141, 2nd draft; re-written and re-shot for 3rd draft)


ANAKIN switches off the engines. ARTOO and THREEPIO are in the navigation area of the cockpit. PADMÉ is in the co-pilot's seat. She gets up.

ANAKIN
Hey, where are you going?

PADMÉ
To find Obi-Wan.

ANAKIN gets up and goes over to her.

ANAKIN
No! You're not!

He grabs her arm.

PADMÉ
Let go of me!

ANAKIN
I'm not letting you go out there. It's too dangerous.

PADMÉ
What?!?

ANAKIN
It's my job to protect you. I said it's too dangerous. You're not going, and that's final!

PADMÉ
Don't you give me orders, Annie! I'm a Senator of the Galactic Republic. You have no authority to contain me, restrain me, or direct me! You remember your place, young man. (standing up) Now you can come along and protect me or stay here. It's up to you.

PADMÉ storms out of the cockpit of the Naboo Starfighter. ANAKIN stands scratching his head, then follows. ARTOO BEEPS and WHISTLES.

C-3PO
Yes, it is, Artoo. Most confusing. One moment they're generating a pleasant mutual attraction and the next, waves of violent hostility. Even though I'm programmed to understand them, I doubt if I ever shall.

ARTOO WHISTLES a plaintive sigh.

ARTOO BEEPS.

C-3PO
Yes, it has been rather a long time. Do you suppose something's happened to them?

ARTOO BEEPS and WHISTLES.

C-3PO (continuing)
Danger? Oh no, I shouldn't think so. It looks a very dull planet to me. They should be back shortly. Just stop worrying, Artoo.

(sc. 150, 2nd draft, removed from 3rd draft)


ARTOO whistles.

C-3PO
I don't hear anything. (Artoo beeps) You're scaring me! Stop imagining things!



INT. COCKPIT, NABOO STARSHIP - DAY
(sc. 158, 2nd draft - removed from 3rd draft)


THREEPIO and ARTOO see flashes outside of the ship, exploding everywhere.

C-3PO
I'm sure I heard something, this time. Didn't you? It's probably just a celebration.

ARTOO lets out an EXHAUSTED BLEEP.
