Made his point, Qui-Gon has. A good one, it is. Yet wish you do not a companion on this journey, and true it is that it will be a short one. Suggest I do that you conceal your identity upon your arrival.

Jedi Master Yoda

Made his point, Qui-Gon has.

No kidding. Pardon, Master Yoda, but I don't need input from Master Obvious. I'm well aware of what Qui-Gon has said. I'm well aware of his meddling.

I've been on dangerous missions before. I am not a cripple. I can do this without help. I am going to New Apsolon for those girls. I will not let them be murdered like their parents. I will get them to safety.

A good one, it is.

So you think me crippled, too? Why am I not surprised…?

Qui-Gon, you and your friends…

Yet wish you do not a companion on this journey, and true it is that it will be a short one.

What? I beg your pardon?

—Well, yes, it'll be a short mission, but…

"A companion on this journey"? Since when did you refer to a joint mission like that? How does a short pickup count as a "journey"?

…Since when has Qui-Gon been my "companion"? You've called us "friends," before, but…

Don't tell me Qui-Gon's protection complex is "companionship."

Suggest I do that you conceal your identity upon your arrival.

No, I thought I'd go in full Jedi robes. Honestly, I'm not stupid. I've been on this type of mission before.

Why would you expect me not to conceal my identity? I usually do.

a companion on this journey…

Why does that nag me?
