Gayle: Great show! Don't you think this is turning into a great show Mike?
Michael: Stellar, Gayle.
Gayle: We need to take a short break for galactic station identification. When we come back, we'll be taking a few more calls, so stay tuned. See you in 30.
The freshers are down the hall to your left. You sure you don't need anything?
Padmé: No thank you, Ms. Riordan.
Obi-Wan: … … … …Padmé: What's the matter?
Obi-Wan: I just realized something. You set this whole thing up.
Padmé: That's nonsense. Why would I do that?
Obi-Wan: You tell me Padmé! Even with the Force's guidance, I'm lost.
Padmé: I swear to you I had nothing to do with this!
Obi-Wan: Then explain to me why the Chancellor of all people would call and say what he did?
Padmé: Perhaps he's having a mid-life crisis or something. I don't know! But I didn't put him up to it!
Obi-Wan: Well, it doesn't make any sense. Someone's responsible for this and I'm going to figure it out and when I do…
Padmé: I honestly don't see what the problem is.
Obi-Wan: ??? Padmé! Gayle Riordan and whoever else is behind this is trying to coerce us into getting together! Romantically!
Padmé: I still don't see what the problem is.
Obi-Wan: What?…………Do you mean to tell me, you condone this course of action?
Padmé: Whatever it takes, Obi-Wan.
Obi-Wan: ??? … … … …
Gayle: Why Knight Kenobi, you don't look well. May I get you a glass of water?
Obi-Wan: Uh..no. No thank you.
Michael: We are live in 5…4…3…2…..
Gayle: This is the Galactic City Report. The lines are now open. If you have any comments, we can take two to three more calls.
Michael: Comm 3 Gayle.
Gayle: Thanks Mike. Go ahead caller.
Caller #2: On, am I?
Gayle: Yes, go ahead…
Caller #2: Whole planet can hear me, it can?
Obi-Wan: …well i'll be a sonofasith!…
Gayle: Yes, and a few nearby systems as well. Did you have something to say?
Caller #2: Yes…yes. Work closely with Knight Kenobi I do. Known him a long time, I have.
Gayle: In what capacity have you worked with him?
Caller #2: To say, not at liberty am I. However, know him well, I do. His Master too. Deceased, Obi-Wan's Master is.
Gayle: Yes, I heard about that. It was a great loss to the Jedi and the galaxy.
Caller #2: Great loss to Obi-Wan, it was. Grief nearly consumed him, it did. But duty and responsibility pressed upon him, it was. Difficult it is, to train a padawan.
Obi-Wan: Master…please!
Caller #2: Quiet you will be until finished I am!
Gayle: Please continue.
Caller #2: Watch him struggle for years under the weight of duty, I have. Successful he has been, but too stern and serious he has become. Young man he still is! When nearly 800 years he reaches, only then, an old fart should he be!
Gayle: So what is your recommendation?
Caller #2: Relax. Enjoy life and the company of beautiful women, he should.
Gayle: Like….say…the company of one Padmé Amidala?
Caller #2: Sometimes, galaxy not seen for all the stars.
Gayle: What you're saying is, what he really needs is right in front of his face.
Caller #2: Wise, you are. See much, you do. Perhaps, tested by the council you should have been.
Gayle: I'll take that as a compliment.
Caller #2: As you should. Obi-Wan, however, stubborn he is. Learned from the best, did he. Perhaps an eye-opener this will be. Hmmm. May the Force be with you, Gayle Riordan.
Gayle: And the same to you…uhm…
Obi-Wan: …master yoda…
Gayle: The same to you, Master Yoda.
