CHAPTER 3
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Viceroy and Rude Hacko are in the conference room sitting with a hologram of Darth Silliness.

Silliness: -which brings us to our next item, the blockade of Naboo. So, Queen Armadillo, she sign the treaty or what? What's the deal here?

Viceroy: She has, uh, escaped. And it's impossy-bull to locate the ship, it's out of our range.

Silliness: Not for a Sith!

Another Sith appears.

Silliness: This is my apprentice, Darth Maul. He will find your lost ship.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Captain Panic-uh, Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan and R2-D2 stand before the Queen and her handmaidens.

Captain: - a very well put together little droid. He has saved our lives.

Queen: Then he is to be committed. What is his number?

Captain: R2-D2.

Queen: Thank you R2-D2.

R2-D2: Bleepedy bloop, bee doo.

Queen: Padmé, clean this droid up at once! Continue, Captain.

Captain: Uh…

Qui-Gon: With your permission, Your Majesty, we're heading toward the remote planet of Tattoospleen. The Trade Federal-ation THING will not find us there.

Captain: I do not agree with the Jedi on this!

Qui-Gon: And I do not agree with your hair, you're just gonna have to trust my judgement.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Padmé is cleaning up R2-D2, muttering to herself.

Padmé: This job sucks…

Jarari walks in.

Jarari: Hedo! Meesa Jarari Bink, whosa are yousa?

Padmé: I'm Padmé. You're a Gungan aren't you?

Jarari: Uh… yup.

Padmé: What're you doing here with us.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The spaceship approaches Tatoospleen.

Riccola: 39 bottle of beer on the wall, take one down, pass it around, 38 bottles of…

Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon and Captain Panic-uh: SHUT UP!!!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ship lands, Obi-Wan is inspecting the place where the engine used to be, blue flames are coming out of the ship.

Obi-Wan: I'm no technical genius, but I think we need a new hyperdrive generator.

Qui-Gon: Yeah, no kidding. Well, Jarari and I will go to town and get one.

Captain: The Queen wants you to take her handmaiden Padmé with you. So the Queen can learn more about the planet.

Obi-Wan: Wouldn't "Padmé" then be learning more about the planet?

Qui-Gon: This spaceport will be no bed of roses.

Captain: The Queen WISHES it, we used a magic lamp and every thing. You know? Genies...

Qui-Gon: Uh... sure... whatever, I'll be leaving now... away from you... see ya later...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Qui-Gon, Padmé, Jarari, and R2-D2 are in the town of Mos Espa.

Qui-Gon: Let's try one of the smaller dealers.

They try one of the smaller dealers. It is an ugly half pig/half mosquito alien names Swatto.

Swatto: Good day to you, what do you want?

Qui: I need a hyperdrive generator for a Q-type 123 Nubian.

Swatto: Letta say you and me go out back, I'm sure we'll find what you need, heh! Shananakin! Watch the store!

A little boy named Shananakin comes in, Qui-Gon, R2-D2 and Swatto go out back.

Shananakin is staring at Padmé.

Shanankin: Are you an angel?

Padmé: Say what?

SHANANAKIN: An angel. The drunk space pilots talk about them, they're the most beautiful creatures in the universe. They come from the moons of Ego. I think.

Padmé: Well, I'm no angel. I'm Padmé Cranberry.

Shanankin: And I'm Shanankin Moonwalker, a real live person.

Jarari activates a pit droid, it sproings to life.

Jarari: YAGH! IS AWIVE!

The pit droid chases him around the shop.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Swatto is outback showing Qui-Gon his props and memorabilia from various sci-fi movies.

Swatto: Thee are in luck, I do have a hyperdrive generator. But it costa mucho dinero metia!

Qui-Gon: Do you take Jedi MasterCards?

Swatto: Republic credit cards? Bah! Humbug! Republic credit cards are no good out here, I need real money.

Qui-Gon: I have nothing else, but CREDITS WILL DO FINE.

Swatto: Uh, no they won't.

Qui-Gon: No, I don't think you heard me: CREDITS WILL DO FINE.

Swatto: No, they won't!

Qui-Gon: Will!

Swatto: Won't

Qui-Gon: Will!

Swatto: Won't

Qui-Gon: Will!

Swatto: Won't

Qui-Gon: Will!

Swatto: Won't

Qui-Gon ignites his lightsaber.

Qui-Gon: I guess I'm not making myself clear…

Swatto: I don't take-uh threats, only money. No money, no parts, no deal!

Qui-Gon smiles and leaves.

Jarari is chasing the droid around the shop. Crashes and bangs can be heard.

SHANANAKIN: I don't think Swatto was going to sell that anyway.

Qui-Gon: We're leaving.

They leave.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Qui-Gon is on the phone with Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan's comlink doubles as a razor, so he's shaving with it right now.

Qui-Gon: And there's nothing on board?

Captain: My 20th Anniversary Mr. Rogers Commemorative stamp collection.

Riccola: My lucky potato.

Obi-Wan: Nothing of value.

Qui-Gon: Well, we've tried selling Jarari, but no one will take him. So we'll have to find another way.

They leave and Jarari is left behind, he sees a frog vendor, he grabs one of the frogs with his tongue. The frog vendor walks up.

Frog Vendor: Hey Hey! Da Willie Wonka?

Jarari: Huh? Wonka?

He sees the bloody butcher knife the vendor is holding and screams, the frog flies out of his mouth and hits a mean alien called Sebublug in the head. Sebublug jumps at him.

Sebublug: Yumo yumo!*
*-You fool, you will pay for your insolence, now I will beat thee unmercifully.

Shananakin walks up.

SHANANAKIN: Checkers Sebublug. Duck Duck Goosa. Meetesa radical coupons y chop sui.*
*-Careful, Sebublug. He's a big time outlander. I'd hate to see you diced before we race again.

Sebublug: Licky chihauhau worm-o, monkey swing!*
*-Next time we race, I will happily kill you.

SHANANAKIN: Y Chewbacca dey moulee ra.*
*-Yeah, it'd be a pity if you had to pay for me.

Sebublug walks off, Padmé, Qui-Gon and R2-D2 come up.

SHANANAKIN: Hi!

Qui-Gon: Hi!

Jarari: Hi!

R2-D2: Hi!

Random Person: Hi!

Padmé: Hey!

Everyone looks at her.

Padmé: I mean 'hi!'

SHANANAKIN: You're goofy CG buddy here was about to become a lifeless goo. He picked a fight with a dangerous bully called Sebublug.

Jarari: Wha? Das no true! He makee da up! Meesa pick nutin wit no one!

Qui-Gon: Nevertheless the boy saved you from a well-deserved wooping, thanks my young friend.

The all walk away.

Jarari: Hey dassa no fair! Meesa doin nutin!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

A sandstorms abrewin'. Obi-Wan and the Captain stand outside the Queen's ship.

Obi-Wan: Heh heh! Am I good or am I good? This storm otta slow them down! Woo!

Captain: Nice work.

The comlink buzzes.

Captain: Panic-uh!

Voice: What's your favorite scary movie?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shananakin, Padmé, Qui-Gon, Jarari, and R2-D2 are at a stand where an old lady is selling dry banana chips. Qui-Gon is looking around.

SHANANAKIN: Here you'll like these dried bananas.

Qui-Gon puts them in his pocket, Shananakin notices his lightsaber.

Old Lady: Ouch!

SHANANAKIN: What's wrong?

Old Lady: Oh, my bones are achin'. Could mean a sandstorms coming up or it could just mean… I'm old.

SHANANAKIN: If there's a sandstorm coming, you can go to my house.

They go to his house.

SHANANAKIN: Hey Mom! I'm home! I brought four strange people with me!

Shananakin's Mom appears.

Qui-Gon: Hi, I'm Qui-Gon Jinn, your son offered us some shelter.

SHANANAKIN: Wanna see the droid I'm building? Yipee! I'll go show ya PPO!

He drags Padmé to his room, R2-D2 follows.

Padmé: Straight to the bedroom…

Shananakin pulls a blanket off of his creation.

SHANANAKIN: Isn't he great.

Padmé: (sarcastically) He's downright perfect.

C-PPO: Perfect? Hello, I am C-PPO, human-cyborg relations.

R2-D2: Beepedy boop!

C-PPO: R2-D2, a pleasure! I am C-PPO, human-cyborg relations.

R2-D2: Beep toot.

C-PPO: What do you mean I'm 'naked'?

R2-D2: Boody doop.

C-PPO: My PARTS ARE SHOWING? OH MY!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Captain, Obi-Wan, the Queen and her handmaidens are watching Sio Babble on a hologram.

Sio Babble: Death toll-catastrophic. Must bow to there wishes. You must contact me.

Queen: What do you think?

Obi-Wan: I think that was the lowsiest movie I ever saw; I think your really not the Queen and Padmé is; I think Senator Palpatine is really Darth Silliness; I think those two handmaidens of yours are secret lovers; I think that the Captain here should get a different haircut, and I think it's about time you fired that Ricolla guy. I think the message is a trick; I think I need a bigger part in this movie and I think I'm only allowed to talk to any character that's not my Master only once. And I think you should send no reply at all, send no transmissions of any kind.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Obi-Wan is in the cockpit on the comlink again.

Qui-Gon: Sounds like they're trying to establish a connection trace.

Obi-Wan: What if it is true? I just made a complete idiot out of myself. And what if the Naboo are dying?

Qui-Gon: Then we're running out of time… and I doubt we'll get paid either.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two shadowy figures are walking on a balcony on the city planet of Corusnot.

Darth Silliness: Go to Tattospleen and keel the Jedi, then take the Queen to Naboo.

Darth Maul: At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last we will have revenge.

Darth Silliness: Good for you.
