132 - INT. MAIN ROTUNDA - GALACTIC SENATE - DAY The Senate chambers are huge. Thousands of SENATORS and their AIDES sit in the circular assembly area. CHANCELLOR VALORUM sits in an elevated area in the center. Hundreds of AIDES and DROIDS hurry about. SENATOR PALPATINE, QUEEN AMIDALA, EIRTÉ, RABÉ, and CAPTAIN PANAKA sit in the Naboo congressional box, which is actually a floating platform. PALPATINE leans over to the QUEEN. PALPATINE If the Federation moves to defer the motion...Your Majesty, I beg of you to ask for a resolution to end this congressional session. AMIDALA I wish I had your confidence in this, Senator. PALPATINE You must force a new election for Supreme Chancellor...I promise you there are many who will support us...it is our best chance...Your Majesty, our only, chance. AMIDALA You truly believe Chancellor Valorum will not bring our motion to a vote? PALAPATINE He is distracted...he is afraid. He will be of no help. VALORUM The Chair recognizes the Senator from the sovereign system of Naboo. ... 132 - INT. MAIN ROTUNDA - GALACTIC SENATE - DAY (CONT'D) CHANCELLOR VALORUM is stunned and stands speechless. His Vice Chair, MAS AMEDDA, takes over. MAS AMEDDA Order! We shall have order... Things settle down a little. The Federation box settles next to AMIDALA. PRINCE BAIL ORGANA moves his box into the arena. BAIL ORGANA Alderaan seconds the motion for a vote of no confidence in Chancellor Valorum. MAS AMEDDA The motion has been seconded by Bail Organa of Alderaan. MAS AMEDDA turns to the confused VALORUM, and whispers something to him. BAIL ORGANA There must be no delays. The motion is on the floor and must be voted upon in this session. LOTT DOD The Trade Federation moves the motion be sent to the procedures committee for study. The assembly begins to chant. VALORUM talks to MAS AMEDDA. ASSEMBLY Vote now! Vote now! Vote now! PALPATINE stands next to AMIDALA. PALPATINE You see, Your Majesty, the tide is with us... Valorum will be voted out, I assure you, and they will elect in a new Chancellor, a strong Chancellor, one who will not let our tragedy continue... MAS AMEDDA The Supreme Chancellor requests a recess. Tomorrow we will begin the vote. The Federation delegation is furious. VALORUM turns to PALPATINE. VALORUM Palpatine, I thought you were my ally... my friend. You have betrayed me! How could you do this? 136 - INT. TEMPLE OF THE JEDI - COUNCIL CHAMBERS - TWILIGHT Note: while not a cut scene, some notable lines of dialogue (shown in italics) were deleted from the film. For clarity, the scene is presented in its entirety. ANAKIN, OBI-WAN, and QUI-GON stand before the TWELVE MEMBERS OF THE JEDI COUNCIL. YODA ...Correct you were, Qui-Gon. MACE WINDU His cells contain a high concentration of midi-chlorians. KI-ADI The Force is strong with him. QUI-GON He's to be trained, then. The COUNCIL MEMBERS look to one another. MACE WINDU No. He will not be trained. ANAKIN is crestfallen; tears begin to form in his eyes. QUI-GON No??!! OBI-WAN smiles. MACE WINDU He is too old. There is already too much anger in him. QUI-GON He is the chosen one...you must see it. YODA Clouded, this boy's future is. Masked by his youth. QUI-GON I will train him, then. I take Anakin as my Padawan learner. OBI-WAN reacts with surprise. ANAKIN watches with interest. YODA An apprentice, you have, Qui-Gon. Impossible, to take on a second. MACE WINDU We forbid it. QUI-GON Obi-Wan is ready... OBI-WAN I am ready to face the trials. YODA Ready so early, are you? What know you of ready? ANAKIN watches as QUI-GON and OBI-WAN exchange angry looks. QUI-GON Headstrong...and he has much to learn about the living Force, but he is capable. There is little more he will learn from me. YODA Our own council we will keep on who is ready. More to learn, he has... MACE WINDU Now is not the time for this...the Senate is voting for a new Supreme Chancellor. Queen Amidala is returning home, which will put pressure on the Federation, and could widen the confrontation. Note: Yaddle (pictured center) appears to have had some dialogue during the Jedi Council scenes. Though the background composite image shows a nighttime view, it may be that the live action portion was originally shot for an earlier daytime scene. (see scene 130). YODA And draw out the Queen's attacker. KI-ADI Events are moving fast...too fast. MACE WINDU Go with the Queen to Naboo and discover the identity of the dark warrior. That is the clue we need to unravel this mystery of the Sith. YODA Young Skywalker's fate will be decided later. QUI-GON I brought Anakin here; he must stay in my charge. He has nowhere else to go. MACE WINDU He is your ward, Qui-Gon...we will not dispute that. YODA Train him not. Take him with you, but train him not! MACE WINDU Protect the Queen, but do not intercede if it comes to war until we have the Senate's approval. YODA May the Force be with you. OBI-WAN, QUI-GON, and ANAKIN leave. 137 - EXT. CORUSCANT - SENATE LANDING PLATFORM - NIGHT QUI-GON, OBI-WAN, and ANAKIN stand on the landing platform outside the ship. ARTOO whistles a happy tune as he leans over the edge of the platform, watching the traffic. Suddenly, he leans over too far and falls overboard. After a moment, he reappears, using his on-board jets to propel himself back onto the landing platform. The wind whips at ANAKIN as he listens to the JEDI. ... INT. NABOO SPACECRAFT - MAIN HOLD The QUEEN, CAPTAIN PANAKA, TROOPS, and HANDMAIDENS get ready to disembark as the ship lands. The elevator door slides open, and ANAKIN emerges into the hold area. He sees PADMÉ and runs up to her. ANAKIN Hi! Where have you been? PADMÉ Annie! What are you doing here? ANAKIN I'm with Qui-Gon...but...they're not going to let me be a Jedi. I'm too old. PADMÉ This is going to be dangerous, Annie. ANAKIN Is it? I can help...Where are we going? PADMÉ To war, I'm afraid. The Queen has had to make the most difficult decision of her life. She doesn't believe in fighting, Annie. We are a peaceful people... ANAKIN I want to help...I'm glad you're back. ANAKIN smiles. PADMÉ smiles back.
