PALPATINE and CAPTAIN PANAKA rush into the rom and bow before the QUEEN.
CAPT. PANAKA : Your Highness, Senator Palpatine has been nominated to succeed Valorum as Supreme Chancellor. PALPATINE : A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one. I promise, Your Majesty, if I am elected, I will bring democracy back to the Republic. I will put an end to corruption. The Trade Fedreation will lose its influence over the bureaucrats, and our people will be freed. AMIDALA : Who else can be nominated? CAPT. PANAKA : Bail Antilles of Alderaan and Ainlee Teem of Malastare. PALPATINE : I feel confident...our "situation" will create a strong sympaphy vote for us... I will be Chancellor, I promise you. AMIDALA : I fear by the time you have control of the bureaucrats, Senator, there will be nothing left of our cities, our people, our way of life... PALPATINE : I understand your concern, Your Majesty; unfortunately, the Federation has possession of our planet. The law is in their favor. AMIDALA : With the Senate in transition, there is nothing more I can do here...Senator, this is your arena. I feel I must return to mine. I have decided to go back to Naboo. My place is with my people. PALPATINE : Go back!! But, Your Majesty, be realistic! You would be in danger. They will force you to sign the treaty. AMIDALA : I will sign no treaty, Senator. My fate will be no different from that of our people. Captain! CAPT. PANAKA : Yes, Your Highness? AMIDALA : Ready my ship! CAPT. PANAKA : Please, Your Majesty, stay here...where it's safe. AMIDALA : No place is safe, if the Senate doesn't condemn this invasion. It is clear to me now that the Republic no longer functions as a democracy. If you win the election, Senator, I know you will do everything possible to stop the Federation. I pray you will bring sanity and compassion back to the Senate. AMIDALA and her RETINUE exit the room. PALPATINE has a self-satisfied smile on his face. |
