In Yoda's Meditation Room:
Yoda: Hmmm...visions, you say?
Anakin: Yes. They're about "someone,"
and they involve pain, death, etc. I won't let them become real.
Yoda: Learn to let go, you must, of everything
you fear to lose.
Anakin: And how do I do that exactly?
Yoda: Do what?
Anakin: What I asked?
Yoda: Ask, you did?
Anakin: Yes...how?
Yoda: How what?
Anakin: Are you even listening to me?
Yoda: Busy, I am. To a briefing I should go, er,
must go. The door, there is.
Anakin: But you didn't even attempt to answer my
question? I'm in way over my head here!
Yoda: Imagine then, you can, how I feel every day.
No more will I teach you today. Already know you that which you
need.
Anakin: BUT I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING! HELP A JEDI
OUT HERE!
[Yoda dashes from the room.]
IN PALPATINE'S OFFICE:
Palpatine: Anakin, I hope you trust me.
Anakin: Of course.
Palpatine: I need your help, son.
Anakin: Wait a minute....I'm your son?
Palpatine: No, that's not what I meant...not exactly...well,
I
might be. Let's move on.
Anakin: No, I want to discuss this. My mother said
I had no
father.
Palpatine: No. I am your father!
Anakin: YOU ARE?!?
[Palpatine laughs.]
Palpatine: Naah, I'm just messin' with your head...something
I've never, EVER done previously, I swear! Anyway, I'm counting
on you...
Anakin: For what, I don't understand.
Palpatine: Would you let me finish the sentence?
You're so impatient all the time. As I was saying, I'm depending
on you to the eyes, ears and voice of the Republic.
Anakin: The voice? Can I get a cool James-Earl-Jones-type
voice for that?
Palpatine: Of course. I'll work on that. Anakin,
I'm appointing you to be my personal representative on the Jedi
Council.
Anakin: Ooooh, Mace isn't gonna like that! Stupid
Jedi Master is always glaring at me anyway.
Palpatine: Not to worry. I don't call this period
of my term "Revenge of the Sith" for nothing.
Anakin: Huh?
