- Yoda: How feel you?
- Anakin Skywalker: Cold, sir.
- Yoda: Afraid are you?
- Anakin Skywalker: No, sir.
- Yoda: See through you we can.
- Mace Windu: Be mindful of your feelings.
- Ki-Adi-Mundi: Your thoughts dwell on your mother.
- Anakin Skywalker: I miss her.
- Yoda: Afraid to lose her I think, hmm?
- Anakin Skywalker: What has *that* got to do with anything?
- Yoda: *Everything*! Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. *Hate*... leads to suffering.
- [pauses]
- Yoda: I sense much fear in you.
- Qui-Gon Jinn: Don't center on your anxieties, Obi-Wan. Keep your concentration here and now, where it belongs.
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: But Master Yoda said I should be *mindful* of the future.
- Qui-Gon Jinn: But not at the expense of the moment. Be mindful of the living Force, young Padawan.
- Anakin Skywalker: You're a Jedi Knight, aren't you?
- Qui-Gon Jinn: What makes you think that?
- Anakin Skywalker: I saw your laser sword. Only Jedi carry that kind of weapon.
- Qui-Gon Jinn: Perhaps I killed a Jedi and took it from him.
- Anakin Skywalker: I don't think so. *No one* can kill a Jedi.
- Qui-Gon Jinn: I wish that were so.
- Anakin Skywalker: I don't want things to change.
- Shmi Skywalker: But you can't stop the change any more than you can stop the suns from setting.
- Yoda: Always two there are, no more, no less. A master and an apprentice.
- Mace Windu: But which was destroyed, the master or the apprentice?
- Anakin Skywalker: Are you an angel?
- Padmé: What?
- Anakin Skywalker: An angel. I've heard the deep space pilots talk about them. They're the most beautiful creatures in the universe. They live on the moons of Iego, I think.
- Padmé: You're a funny little boy. How do you know so much?
- Anakin Skywalker: I listen to all the traders and star pilots who come through here. I'm a pilot, you know, and someday I'm going to fly away from this place.
- Jar Jar Binks: Ooh, mooey mooey, I love you!
- Qui-Gon Jinn: You almost got us killed! Are you brainless?
- Jar Jar Binks: I spake!
- Qui-Gon Jinn: The ability to speak does not make you intelligent. Now get out of here.
- [Anakin is about to leave his mother behind to train as a Jedi]
- Anakin Skywalker: I can't do it, Mom. I just can't do it.
- Shmi Skywalker: Ani...
- Anakin Skywalker: [crying] Will I ever see you again?
- Shmi Skywalker: What does your heart tell you?
- Anakin Skywalker: I hope so. Yes... I guess.
- Shmi Skywalker: Then we will see each other again.
- Anakin Skywalker: I *will* come back and free you, Mom. I promise.
- Shmi Skywalker: Now, be brave, and don't look back. Don't look back.
- Qui-Gon Jinn: You must have Jedi reflexes if you race pods.
- [Jar Jar tries to grab a piece of fruit with his tongue, but Qui-Gon catches it]
- Qui-Gon Jinn: Don't do that again.
- Padmé: You're a slave?
- Anakin Skywalker: [offended] I'm a person and my name is Anakin!
- Padmé: I'm sorry.
- Watto: How's-a you gonna pay for all this, eh?
- Qui-Gon Jinn: I have 20,000 Republic dataries.
- Watto: Republic credits? Republic credits are no good out here. I need something more real.
- Qui-Gon Jinn: I don't have anything else, but...
- [waves his hand]
- Qui-Gon Jinn: ... credits will do fine.
- Watto: No, they won't-a.
- Qui-Gon Jinn: [waves his hand more firmly] Credits *will* do fine.
- Watto: No, they *won't-a*! What, you think you're some kind of Jedi, waving your hand around like that? I'm a Toydarian. Mind tricks don't-a work on me, only money! No money, no parts, no deal!
- Qui-Gon Jinn: [dying; mumbles as Obi-Wan sits him up after battle with Darth Maul] Uhh, it's too late, it...
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: No!
- Qui-Gon Jinn: Obi-Wan, promise... promise me you will train the boy.
- Obi-Wan Kenobi: [nods] Yes, Master.
- Qui-Gon Jinn: [wiping a tear from Obi-Wan's right cheek] He... is the chosen one. He... will bring balance. Train him.
- [Obi-Wan nods as Qui-Gon does and then cries over his body]
- Darth Sidious: And Queen Amidala, has she signed the treaty?
- Nute Gunray: She has... disappeared, my lord. One Naboo cruiser got past the blockade.
- Darth Sidious: [snarls] I want that treaty signed!
- Nute Gunray: M-my lord, it-it's impossible to locate the ship. It's out of our range.
- Darth Sidious: Not for a Sith.
- [Darth Maul appears alongside Darth Sideous in the hologram]
- Darth Sidious: This is my apprentice, Darth Maul. He will find your lost ship.
- [the hologram disappears]
- Nute Gunray: This is getting out of hand! Now, there are two of them!
- Rune Haako: We should not have made this bargain.
- Anakin: What about Mom? Is she free too?
- Qui-Gon Jinn: I tried to free your mother, Ani, but Watto wouldn't have it.
- Anakin: You're coming with us, aren't you, Mom?
- Shmi Skywalker: Son, my place is here. My future is here. It is time for you to let go.
- [first lines]
- Qui-Gon Jinn: Captain.
- Republic Cruiser Captain: Yes, sir?
- Qui-Gon Jinn: Tell them we wish to board at once.
- Republic Cruiser Captain: [to communication device] With all due respect, the ambassadors for the Supreme Chancellor wish to board immediately.
- Nute Gunray: [on view screen] Yes, of course. As you know, our blockade is perfectly legal and we'd be happy to receive the ambassadors.
- Yoda: Master Qui-Gon. More to say have you?
- Qui-Gon Jinn: With your permission, my master, I have encountered a vergence in the Force.
- Yoda: A vergence, you say?
- Mace Windu: Located around a person?
- Qui-Gon Jinn: A boy. His cells have the highest concentration of midi-chlorians I have seen in a life-form. It was possible he was concieved by the midi-chlorians.
- Mace Windu: You refer to the prophecy of The One who will bring balance to the Force. You believe it's this boy?
- Darth Maul: Tatooine is sparsely populated. If the trace was correct, I will find them quickly, Master.
- Darth Sidious: Move against the Jedi first. You will then have no difficulty in taking the Queen to Naboo to sign the treaty.
- Darth Maul: At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last we will have revenge.
- Darth Sidious: [indirectly complimenting himself] You have been well trained, my young apprentice. They will be no match for you.
- Padmé: Are you sure about this? Trusting our fate to a boy we hardly know? The queen will not approve.
- Qui-Gon Jinn: The queen doesn't need to know.
- Padmé: Well, *I* don't approve.
- Qui-Gon Jinn: The Force is unusually strong with him. That much is clear. Who was his father?
- Shmi Skywalker: There was no father. I carried him, I gave birth, I raised him. I can't explain what happened.
- Qui-Gon Jinn: I'm not allowed to train you, so I want you to watch me and be mindful. Always remember, your focus determines your reality.
- Shmi Skywalker: All slaves have a transmitter placed somewhere in their body.
- Anakin: I've been working on a scanner to try and locate mine.
- Shmi Skywalker: Any attempt to escape...
- Anakin: And they blow you up! BOOM!
- Jar Jar Binks: How wude!
- Queen Amidala: I was not elected to watch my people suffer and die while you discuss this invasion in a committee!
- Queen Amidala: Senator, this is your arena. I feel I must return to my mine. I have decided to go back to Naboo.
- Senator Palpatine: Go back? But, your Majesty, be realistic. They'll force you to sign the treaty.
- Queen Amidala: I will sign no treaty, Senator. My fate will be no different to that of our people.
- Queen Amidala: Although we do not always agree, Your Honor, our two great societies have always lived in peace. The Trade Federation has destroyed all that we have worked so hard to build. If we do not act quickly, all will be lost forever. I ask you to help us... no, I beg you to help us.
- [Amidala drops to her knees in front of the Gungan assembly]
- Queen Amidala: We are your humble servants.
- [One by one, everyone in Amidala's party gets on one knee in front of the Gungan assembly]
- Queen Amidala: Our fate is in your hands.
- Boss Nass: Hmmmmm.
- [rubs his chin in thought]
- Boss Nass: Yousa no tinken yousa greater den da Gungans? Mesa like dis. Maybe wesa... bein' friends.
- Jar Jar Binks: Mesa cause one, two-y little bitty axadentes, huh? Yud say boom de gasser, den crashin der bosses heyblibber, den banished.
- [first title cards]
- Title card/crawl:: A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
- Title card/crawl:: Turmoil has engulfed the Galactic Republic. The taxation of trade routes to outlying star systems is in dispute. Hoping to resolve the matter with a blockade of deadly battleships, the greedy Trade Federation has stopped all shipping to the small planet of Naboo. While the Congress of the Republic endlessly debates this alarming chain of events, the Supreme Chancellor has secretly dispatched two Jedi Knights, the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy, to settle the conflict...
