146 - INT. CONFERENCE ROOM (GEONOSIS) - DAY  COUNT DOOKU sits at a large conference table with PADMÉ on the far side. ANAKIN stands behind her with FOUR GEONOSIANS GUARDS standing behind him. JANGO FETT stands behind COUNT DOOKU, and SIX GEONOSIAN GUARDS stand behind him.  PADMÉ You are holding a Jedi Knight, Obi-Wan Kenobi. I am formally requesting you turn him over to me, now. DOOKU He has been convicted of espionage, Senator, and will be executed. In just a few hours, I believe. COUNT DOOKU smiles. PADMÉ He is an officer of the Republic. You can't do that.
DOOKU We don't recognise the Republic here, Senator. But if Naboo were to join our Alliance, I could easily hear your plea for clemency.  PADMÉ And if I don't join your rebellion, I assume this Jedi with me will also die? DOOKU I don't wish to make you to join our cause against your will, Senator, but you are a rational, honest representative of your people and I assume you want to do what's in their best interest. Aren't you fed up with the corruption, the bureaucrats, the hypocrisy of it all? Aren't you? Be honest, Senator. PADMÉ The ideals are still alive, Count, even if the institution is failing. DOOKU You believe in the same ideals we believe in! The same ideals we are striving to make prominent. PADMÉ If what you say is true, you should stay in the Republic and help Chancellor Palpatine put things right. DOOKU The Chancellor means well, M'Lady but he is incompetent. He has promised to cut the bureaucracy, but the bureaucrats are stronger than ever, no? Senator, the Republic cannot be fixed. It is time to start over. The democratic process in the Republic is a sham, no? A shell game played on the voters. It will not be long before the cult of greed, called the Republic, will lose even the pretext of democracy and freedom.  PADMÉ I cannot believe that. I know of your treaties with the Trade Federation, the Commerce Guilds, and the others, Count. What is happening here is not government that has been bought out by business... it's business becoming government! I will not forsake all I have honored and worked for and betray the Republic. DOOKU Then you will betray your Jedi friends? Without your cooperation I can do nothing to stop their execution. PADMÉ And what about me? Am I to be executed also?  DOOKU I wouldn't think of such an offence. But, there are individuals who have a strong interest in your demise, M'lady. It has nothing to do with politics, I'm afraid. It's purely personal, and they have already paid great sums to have you assassinated. I'm sure they will push hard to have you included in the executions. I'm sorry but if you are not going to co-operate, I must turn you over to the Geonosians for justice.  Without your cooperation, I've done all I can for you. JANGO FETT Take them away. 150 - INT. GEONOSIS, HIGH AUDIENCE CHAMBER - DAY ANAKIN and PADMÉ are standing in the center of what looks like a courtroom. Seated before them in a tall, boxed-off area is POGGLE THE LESSER, Archduke of Geonosis. He is accompanied by his underling, SUN FAC. Off to one side the Separatist Senators PO NUDU, TESSEK, and TOONBUCK TOORA. Next to them are the Commerce Dignitaries, SHU MAI, NUTE GUNRAY, PASSEL ARGENTE, WAT TAMBOR and SAN HILL of the Intergalactic Bank Clan. Along the wall about a HUNDRED GEONOSIANS wait for a verdict. SUN FAC You have been charged and found guilty of Espionage. POGGLE Do you have anything to say before your sentence is carried out?  PADMÉ You are committing an act of war, Archduke. I hope you are prepared for the consequences. POGGLE laughs. COUNT DOOKU simply smiles. POGGLE We build weapons, Senator... that is our business! Of course we're prepared! NUTE GUNRAY Get on with it. Carry out the sentence. I want to see her suffer. POGGLE Your other Jedi friend is waiting for you, Senator. Take them to the arena! FOUR GUARDS take hold of PADMÉ and ANAKIN. They are escorted out of the chamber to the sounds of chuckling. INT. COCKPIT, NABOO STARFIGHTER - DAY (scenes removed from the 3rd draft screenplay for continuity)
