ANAKIN and A GREEDO are rolling around on the floor, fighting. About A DOZEN OR SO KIDS are standing around them, yelling. Suddenly, a long shadow is cast over the TWO BOYS; they stop fighting and look up. QUI-GON is towering above them. KITSTER is with them.

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 come to a bad end.



108 - 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
Thanks for every moment 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.

SHMI
Annie, remember when you climbed the great dune in order to chase the Banthas away so they wouldn't be shot... Remember how you collapsed several times, exhausted thinking you couldn't do it?

ANAKIN shakes his head.

SHMI (Cont'd)
This is one of those times when you have to do something you don't think you can do. I know how strong you are, Annie. I know you can do this...


ANAKIN
Will I ever see you again?

SHMI
What does your heart tell you?
...


109 - EXT. MOS ESPA - STREET - FRUIT STAND - DAY

ANAKIN and QUI-GON exit WATTO'S and stop before JIRA'S fruit stand. ANAKIN hands JIRA some coins.

ANAKIN
I've been freed, and I'm going away. Buy yourself a cooling unit with this... Otherwise I'll worry about you.

JIRA is astonished. She stares, not knowing what to say.

JIRA
Can I give you a hug?

ANAKIN
Sure.

She gives him a hug.

JIRA
I'll miss you, Annie...there isn't a kinder boy in the galaxy. You be careful...

ANAKIN runs to join QUI-GON, who has already started down the street. As they walk along together, QUI-GON notices something out of the corner of his eye.

Suddenly, without breaking his stride, he ignites his laser sword, swings around, and lunges forward and cuts a lurking PROBE DROID in half. QUI-GON inspects the sparking and fizzing DROID.

ANAKIN
What is it?

QUI-GON
Probe droid. Very unusual...not like anything I've seen before. Come on.
