SON TAG
I'm sure you have. But I didn't send it.
QUI – GON
This is very strange.
VEERTA
Never the less we are glad you are here. We have doubts that Off World Corporation will allow us to operate freely. Let's just say that the corporation has a history of making competition disappear.
QUI – GON Neutrally
I've seen how they operate first hand. I have to agree.
VEERTA
Then you will know why we'd like to have a Jedi representative present at our first meeting with Off World. Your presence will ensure that everyone plays fair.
Qui – Gon and Obi- Wan's cushions lower. Qui- Gon gets up and bows.
QUI – GON
I'd be happy to contribute what I can.
Obi – Wan stands up and smiles with excitement.
QUI –GON Cont
My companion will be traveling to the eastern enrichment zone.
Qui – Gon indicates to his right at Obi – Wan.
QUI – GON Cont
Can you arrange a transport for him?
Obi – Wan turns from excitement to anger. He blocks out all other sounds.
OS YODA
Close your mouth and open you ears, you must. Then you will hear what your true heart is seeking, you will.
At this Obi – Wan cools slightly but he still fights his anger.
Qui – Gon with out stretched palms upwards flipped them over to Veerta and Son Tag. The gesture was repeated by Veerta and Son Tag. Qui – Gon turned to exit with Obi – Wan behind him.
5 Int on the steps further down the corridor.
QUI –GON
Those seeming not to notice you usually do.
Looking into the distance.
QUI – GON Cont
They chose not to show it. Or they had greater concerns on their mind. It is no reason to be discourteous.
OBI – WAN
But I...
QUI – GON
I see you discourteous sprang from anger.
He lowers his voice.
QUI – GON
I will choose to ignore it.
Obi – Wan fights with his anger to answer back.
Qui- Gon turns to face Obi – Wan for the first time.
QUI – GON
You will not under any circumstances intervene in any situation regarding my mission, or any action, with out contacting me.
Obi – Wan nodded.
Qui – Gon looks out through the window at the mine towers.
QUI – GON
Things are rarely what they seem.
OBI – WAN
That is why I wish...
QUI – GON
Come. Lets get your things. You need to catch the transport.
He strode briskly off. Obi – Wan followed slowly behind.
6 int Jedi Temple The younglings were around 7 years old and were talking in a large circle.
YOUNGLING 1
I miss my perants.
Xanatos pushes into the middle of the group.
XANATOS
My dad was the wealthiest man on Telos.
YOUNGLING 2
My planet was much hotter than it is here; it had two moons and 3 suns. I miss it so much.
Qui – Gon and Yoda enter and stand in silence by the door listening intently to the younglings talking.
XANATOS
Well at my house we had ten slaves. I never had to tidy up like I have to here. Dad would be so cross if he found out.
In quiet voices the master talk to each other.
QUI – GON
Master Yoda, he is no different from the other younglings. He just misses his home and his family.
YODA
Different he is. Learn, proves him self he does.
Room fades.
7 Ext Loading platform. A small transport is waiting as Obi – Wan walks away from Qui – Gon. He turns round to face him looking at Qui - Gon expectantly, hoping he will change his mind about sending him off. Qui – Gon smiles as in recognition of Obi – Wan and turns to leave. Obi – Wan picks up his bag and walks up the ramp of the transport.
The ramp closes and the transport takes off into the distance.
8 Int Corridor. Qui – Gon is walking towards his room. HE is puzzled he carries his not he received on arrival from Xanatos, his brow in knotted; when a young Meerian runs up to him.
MEERIAN 1
Sir the meeting is being held in the home planet mine, sir.
QUI – Gon
Thank you.
Qui – Gon turns a walks off in the other direction, towards the home planet mine.
Suddenly out of one of the side doors. Son Tag appears.
SON TAG
Qui – Gon I'm so glad I have caught up with you. We have changed the location of the meeting. I think it is better if both parties met in a neutral place. Maybe if the meeting had on official tone to the proceedings everyone will be more polite.
Son Tag grimaces.
SON TAG
At least that is what I hope.
QUI – GON
I hope the same.
He shortens his stride to match Son Tag's.
I'm sure you have. But I didn't send it.
