Scene 6 Later that same night. Outside a wall that surrounds one of the Palace's gardens.
OBI-WAN enters.
OBI-WAN: Can I go forward when my heart is here? Because he prefers to be alone right now, OBI-WAN avoids JAR JAR and climbs the wall into the garden.
JAR JAR: Offstage. Obi-Wan! JAR JAR enters. Mesa friend! Obi-Wan!
SECURITY: Off stage. Have you seen the Gungan? He must have gone down this street.
JAR JAR: Where ever yousa stay Obi-Wan, may the Guds watch over yousa? Mesa gotta go. Runs off stage as SECURITY crosses the stage in search of the Gungan.
OBI-WAN: May the Force be with us both, Jar Jar.
Scene 7 Immediately following the previous scene. Palace's gardens.
OBI-WAN, alone in the garden.
OBI-WAN: But, soft! What light through yonder window breaks?
AMIDALA enters at a window above and stands on a balcony. She doesn't know that OBI-WAN is nearby.
OBI-WAN: 'tis the East, and Amidala is the sun! Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon.
He watches her as she leans on the banister. She combs out her slightly damp dark brown hair and gazes at the stars above.
OBI-WAN:It is my queen! O, it is my love! O, if only she knew she were! She speaks, yet she says nothing. What of that? I will answer...I am too bold; 'tis not to me she speaks. Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven have captured her interest.
She stops brushing her hair and continues to contemplate the starry heavens.
OBI-WAN: See how she leans her cheek upon her hand! O, if I were a glove upon that hand, so I could caress that cheek!
AMIDALA: Ay me! Like a heavy sigh.
OBI-WAN: Aside. She speaks. O, speak again, bright angel...
AMIDALA: O, Obi-Wan, Obi-Wan! Where are you my noble knight? Deny the Jedi and forsake their code; Or, if you will not, be but sworn my love, And I'll no longer be Naboo's queen.
OBI-WAN: Aside. Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?
AMIDALA: 'Tis but your title that is my enemy, you are yourself though not just a Jedi. What's a Jedi? It is neither hand, nor foot, nor arm, nor face. O, be some other name belonging to a man. What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. So Obi-Wan would, even if he wasn't called Obi-Wan. He'd retain his dear perfection, which he owns without that title, Jedi. Obi-Wan cast off your knighthood; and for that title, which is no part of you, take all myself.
OBI-WAN speaks aloud so that AMIDALA can hear him for the first time.
OBI-WAN: I take you at your word, Amidala. Call me but love, and I'll be renamed; Henceforth I never will be Obi-Wan.
AMIDALA: Who are you that sulks in the darkness and listens to my private thoughts?
OBI-WAN: By a name I cannot reveal. My name, dear saint, is hateful to me because it is your enemy too.
AMIDALA: Begins to realize who the speaker is. I know your voice, are you not Obi-Wan Kenobi, and a Jedi Knight?
OBI-WAN: Neither, fair queen, if either you dislike.
AMIDALA: How did you come here? The garden walls are high and hard to climb...
OBI-WAN: All things are possible with the Force as your ally. I have night's cloak to hide me from prying eyes. And if you do not love me, let my enemies, the Sith, find me here. My life were better ended by their hate than death prorogued, wanting of thy love.
