Appearances of the Outfit
	EXT. TATOOINE - DESERT - SPACESHIP - DAY They start their trek across the desert toward the city of Mos Espa. In the distance, a strange looking caravan makes its way toward the spaceport. JAR JAR : Dis sun doen murder tada skin. From the spaceship, CAPTAIN PANAKA and PADME run toward them. CAPT. PANAKA : Wait! QUI-GON stops as they catch up. PADME is dresses in rough peasant's garb. CAPT. PANAKA : (Cont'd) Her Highness commands you to take her handmaiden with you. She wishes for her to observe the local... QUI-GON : No more commands from Her Highness today, Captain. This spaceport is not going to be pleasant... CAPT. PANAKA : The Queen wishes it. She is curious about this planet. PADME : I've been trained in defense... I can take care of myself. CAPT. PANAKA : Don't make me go back and tell her you refuse. QUI-GON : I don't have time to argue. But this is not a good idea. Stay close to me. He gives PADME a stern look. EXT. MOS ESPA - STREET - DAY The little GROUP walks down the main street of Mos Espa. They pass dangerous looking citizens of all types. PADME looks around in awe at this exotic enviroment. QUI-GON : ...moisture farms for the most part, but also a few indigenous tribes and scavengers. The few spaceports like this one are havens for those who do not wish to be found... PADME : ....like us. JAR JAR is in a constant state of panic. JAR JAR makes a rude face to QUI-GON's back and sticks out his long tongue. ANAKIN sits on the counter, pretending to clean a part, staring at PADME. She is the most beautiful creaure he has ever seen in his life. PADME is a little embarrassed by his stare, but she musters up an amused smile. Finally, he gets the courage to speak. ANAKIN : Are you an angel? PADME : What? ANAKIN : An angel. I've heard the deep space pilots talk about them. They live on the Moons of Iego I think. They are the most beautiful creatures in the universe. They are good and kind, and so pretty they make even the most hardened spice pirate cry. PADME looks at him, not knowing what to say. PADME : I've never heard of angels. ANAKIN : You must be one...maybe you just don't know it. PADME : You're a funny little boy. How do you know so much? ANAKIN : Since I was very little, three, I think. My Mom and I were sold to Gardulla the Hutt, but she lost us, betting on the Podraces, to Watto, who's a lot better master than Gardulla, I think. PADME : You're...a slave? ANAKIN looks at PADME defiantly. ANAKIN : I am a person! My name is Anakin. PADME : I'm sorry. I don't fully understand. (looking around) This is a strange world to me. ANAKIN studies her intently. ANAKIN : You are a strange girl to me. JAR JAR pushes the nose on what appears to be a LITTLE DROID, and it instantly comes to life, grows legs and arms, and starts marching around, knocking over everything. JAR JAR hold on but can't stop it. ANAKIN : (Cont'd) Hit the nose! JAR JAR hits the nose, and the DROID collapses back into its original state. ANAKIN and PADME laugh. ANAKIN watches PADME straighten her hair. INT. WATTO'S JUNK SHOP - DAY JAR JAR pulls a part out of a stack of parts to inspect it, and they all come tumblimg down. He struggles to catch them, only to knock more down. ANAKIN and PADME are oblivious. ANAKIN : ...wouldn't have lasted long if I weren't so good at fixing things. I'm making my own droid... QUI-GON hurries into the shop, followed by ARTOO. QUI-GON : We're leaving. JAR JAR follows QUI-GON. PADME gives ANAKIN a loving look. PADME : I'm glad I met you,....ah... ANAKIN : ...Anakin. PADME : Anakin. ANAKIN : Anakin Skywalker. PADME : Padme Naberrie. PADME turns, and ANAKIN looks sad as he watches her leave. ANAKIN : I'm glad I met you too. EXT. MOS ESPA - STREET - MARKET - DAY QUI-GON, PADME, JAR JAR, and ARTOO move out into the street. JAR JAR is walking behind the others. They walk by an outdoor cafe filled with a rough gang of aliens, one of which is especially ugly, SEBULBA, a spider-like creature. JAR JAR stops for a moment in front of a stall selling dead frogs hanging on a wire. He looks around to see if anyone is looknig, then sticks out his tongue, and gets hold of one, pulling it into his mouth. Unfortunately, the frog is tied tightly to the wire. The vendor suddenly appears. QUI-GON, PADME and ARTOO arrive. ANAKIN : (Cont'd) Hi! Your buddy here was about to be turned into orange goo. He picked a fight with a Dug. An especially dangerous Dug called Sebulba. JAR JAR : Nosir, nosir. Mesa hate crunchen. Dat's da last ting mesa wanten. QUI-GON : Nevertheless, the boy is right...you were heading for trouble. Thank you, my young friend. PADME looks at ANAKINB and smiles; he smiles back. They start walking down the crowded street. JAR JAR : Mesa doen nutten! ANAKIN : Fear attracts the fearful. He was trying to overcome his fear by squashing you...be less afraid. PADME : And that works for you. ANAKIN : To a point. (he smiles) The wind picks up. SHOP OWNERS are starting to close up their shops as JIRA gives them their pallies. JIRA : Gracious, my bones are aching...storm's coming on, Annie. You'd better get home quick. ANAKIN : (to QUI-GON) Do you have shelter? QUI-GON : We'll hed back to our ship. ANAKIN : Is it far? PADME : On the outskirts. ANAKIN : You'll never reach the outskirts in time...sandstorms are very, very dangerous. Come with me. Hurry! The GROUP follows ANAKIN as he rushes down the windy street. INT. ANAKIN'S HOVEL - MAIN ROOM - DAY QUI-GON, JAR JAR, ARTOO, and PADME enter a small living space. ANAKIN : Mom! Mom! I'm home. JAR JAR : Dissen cozy. Anakin's mother, SHMI SKYWALKER, a warm, friendly woman of forty, enters from her work area and is startled to see the room full of people. SHMI : Oh, my!! Annie, what's this? ANAKIN : These are my friends, Mom. This is Padme, and...gee, I don't know any of your names. QUI-GON : I'm Qui-Gon Jinn, and this is Jar Jar Binks. ARTOO lets out a little beep. PADME : ...and our droid, Artoo-Detoo. ANAKIN : I'm building a droid. You wanna see? SHMI : Anakin! Why are they here? ANAKIN : A sandstorm, Mom. Listen. INT. ANAKIN'S HOVEL - BEDROOM - DAY ANAKIN shows off his ANDROID, which is lying on his workbench. There is one eye in the head; the body, arms, and legs have no outer coverings. ANAKIN : Isn't he great?! He's not finished yet. PADME : He's wonderful! ANAKIN : You reall like him? He's a protocol droid...to help Mom. Watch! ANAKIN pushes a switch, and the DROID sits up. Anakin rushes around, grabs an eye and puts it in one of the sockets. THREEPIO : How do you do, I am See-Threepio, Human Cyborg Relations. How might I serve you? PADME : He's perfect. ANAKIN : When the storm is over, you can see my racer. I'm building a Podracer! PADME smiles at his enthusiasm. ARTOO lets out a flurry of beeps and whistles. INT. ANAKIN'S HOVEL - MAIN ROOM - DAY QUI-GON, ANAKIN, SHMI, JAR JAR, and PADME are seated around a makeshift table, having dinner as the wind howls outside. JAR JAR slurps his soup rather loudly. Everyone looks at him. He turns a little brighter red. SHMI : All slaves have transmitters placed inside their bodies somewhere. ANAKIN : I've been working on a scanner to try and locate them, but no luck. SHMI : Any attempt to escape... ANAKIN : ...and they blow you up...poof! PADME and JAR JAR are horrified. JAR JAR : How wude. PADME : I can't believe there is still slavery in the galaxy. The Republic's anti-slavery laws... SHMI : The Republic doesn't exist out here...we must survive on our own. An awkward silence. ANAKIN attempts to end the embarrassment. ANAKIN : Have you ever seen a Podrace? PADME shakes her head no. She notices the concern of SHMI. JAR JAR snatches some food from a bowl at the other end of the table with his tongue. QUI-GON gives him a dirty look. QUI-GON thinks for a moment. QUI-GON : I can see there's no fooling you...(leans forward) You mustn't let anyone know about us...we're on our way to Coruscant, the central system in the Republic, on a very important mission, and it must be kept secret. ANAKIN : Coruscant...wow...how did you end up here in the outer rim? PADME : Our ship was damaged, and we're stranded here until we can repair it. ANAKIN : I can help! I can fix anything! QUI-GON : I believe you can, but our first job is to aquire the parts we need... JAR JAR : Wit no-nutten mula to trade. PADME : These junk dealers must have a weakness of some kind. SHMI : Gambling. Everything here revolves around betting on those awful races. QUI-GON : Podracing... Greed can be a powerful ally.. if it's used properly. ANAKIN : I've built a racer! It's the fastest ever...There's a big race tomorrow, on Boonta Eve. You could enter my pod. It's all but finished... SHMI : Anakin, settle down. Watto won't let you... ANAKIN : Watto doesn't know I've built it. (to Qui-Gon) You could make him think it's your's, and you could get him to let me pilot it for you. JAR JAR belches. There is silence for a moment as they eat. PADME : I'm sure Qui-Gon doesn't want to put your son in danger. We will find another way... SHMI : No, Annie's right, there is no other way... I may not like it, but he can help you...he was meant to help you. ANAKIN : Is that a yes? That is a yes! The storm continues to rage outside the slave hovel. EXT. MOS ESPA - JUNK DEALER PLAZA - DAY The storm has passed. VENDORS and STREET PEOPLE clean up the mess and rebuild their food stalls. JAR JAR sits on a box in front of Watto's parts shop, watching all the activity with growing nervousness. ARTOO is standing next to him. PADME stops QUI-GON as he is about to enter the shop. PADME : Are you sure about this? Trusting our fate to a boy we hardly know. The Queen will not approve. QUI-GON : The Queen does not need to know. PADME : Well, I don't approve. QUI-GON turns and starts into the shop. EXT. MOS ESPA - SLAVE QUARTERS - BACK YARD - SUNRISE As the twin suns rise, ARTOO is busy painting the racing Pod. ANAKIN is asleep. PADME passes ARTOO. PADME : I hope you're about finished. ARTOO whistles a positive reply. PADME sees KITSTER riding toward them on an EOPIE, a strange camel-lile creature. He is leading a second EOPIE behind him. PADME goes over to ANAKIN. He looks very vulnerable as he sleeps. She watches him, then touches him on the cheek. ANAKIN wakes up, yawns, and looks at her, a little puzzled. ANAKIN : You were in my dream...you were leading a huge army into battle. PADME : I hope not; I hate fighting. Your mother wants you to come in and clean up. We have to leave soon. ANAKIN stands up and stretches just as KITSTER arrives. ANAKIN : Hook 'em up, Kitster. (to Padme) I won't be long. Where's Qui-Gon? PADME : He and Jar Jar left already. They're with Watto at the arena. ANAKIN and PADME enter the hanger on one of the EOPIES, pulling an engine. KITSTER, on the other EOPIE, is pulling another engine. With THREEPIO walking alongside, ARTOO trundles behind, pulling the Pod with SHMI sitting on it. WATTO passes ANAKIN as he leaves. WATTO : (Cont'd) (subtitled) Bonapa keesa pateeso, o wanna meetee chobodd. (Better stop your friends betting, or I'll end up owning him, too.) WATTO walks off, laughing. ANAKIN : What did he mean by that? QUI-GON : I'll tell you later. ARTOO beeps at THREEPIO. THREEPIO : Oh my! Space travel sounds rather perilous. ARTOO emits a series of beeps. THREEPIO : I can assure you they will never get me onto one of those dreadful starships! KITSTER : (to Anakin) This is so wizard! I'm sure you'll do it this time, Annie. PADME : Do what? KITSTER : Finish the race, of course! PADME : You've never won a race? ANAKIN : Well...not exactly... PADME : Not even finished?! ANAKN looks sheepish. ANAKIN : ...but Kitster's right, I will this time. QUI-GON : Of course you will. PADME comes up and gives ANAKIN a little kiss on the cheeek. SEBULBA bangs on a part protruding from Anakin's engine. He looks around to see if anyone has noticed. PADME : You carry all our hopes. ANAKIN : I won't let you down. PADME moves away as SEBULBA edges his way next to ANAKIN and gives him a sinister grin. EXT. MOS ESPA - ARENA - VIEWING PLATFORM - DAY SHMI looks nervously to QUI-GON as he enters a veiwing platform. PADME and JAR JAR are already on board. The platform rises like an elevator. SHMI : Is he nervous? QUI-GON : He's fine. PADME : You Jedi are far too reckless. The Queen... QUI-GON : The Queen trusts my judgment, young handmaiden. You should too. PADME : You assume too much. INT. MOS ESPA - ARENA - MAIN HANGER – DAY JAR JAR gives ANAKIN a great hug, then PADME gives him a hug, then SHMI. ANAKIN : Ah, gee...enough of this... SHMI : It's so wonderful, Annie. You have brought hope to those who have none. I'm so very proud of you... PADME : We owe you everything. ANAKIN : Just feeling this good was worth it. In the background, QUI-GON has harnessed the EOPIES to containers full of parts. QUI-GON : Padme. Jar Jar, let's go, we've got to get these parts back to the ship. The GROUP walks over to QUI-GON and the EOPIES. PADME climbs on behind QUI-GON. JAR JAR swings up onto the second EOPIE, only to slwly slide off the other side. ARTOO whistles. ANAKIN and SHMI wave as they ride off. EXT. TATOOINE - DESERT - NABOO SPACECRAFT - DAY ARTOO cruises ahead of QUI-GON and PADME, who are riding one of the EOPIES; JAR JAR ridses the other. They stop in front of the sleek Naboo spacecraft. OBI-WAN comes out of the ship and joins them. INT. NABOO SPACECRAFT - HALLWAY ANAKIN runs into the main hallway of the spaceship, where PADME and CAPTAIN PANAKA are working. ANAKIN : Qui-Gon's in trouble. He says to take off...now!! CAPT. PANAKA : Who are you? PADME : He's a friend.
