Gayle: We have time for one more call, Michael?
Michael: Sure. Com 2.
Gayle: Welcome to the Galactic City Report. You are on the air.
Caller #3: Hi. Yeah, I actually called before.
Obi-Wan: Anakin, I thought I told you to hang up.
Padmé: Obi-Wan, let him speak!
Obi-Wan: ……Very well. Proceed padawan….but with caution.
Caller #3: There are a few things I need to say. I'll be brief.
Obi-Wan: Good idea.
Padmé: Obi-Wan! Hush!
Obi-Wan: … … … … …
Caller #3: I admit I was quite a pain in the ass as a …. Sorry.
Gayle: That's okay. Censors will take care of it.
Caller #3: Anyway, I was quite the brat growing up and I admit I was a little obsessed with Padmé. My Jedi therapist says I was suffering from a post-traumatic separation anxiety disorder manifested as a psychological transfer of maternal attachment…something or another. What I'm trying to say is – Master? I know you have feelings for Padmé and I know you've been hiding them because of me. I wanted you to know that it's okay. My interests actually lie elsewhere – as everyone in the entire galaxy knows by now thanks to this show.
Gayle: Don't mention it.
Obi-Wan: Padawan, I never said I had feelings for Padmé!
Caller #3: Oh, come on Master! You light up like a deseraanian night fly whenever she's around! During the last few tens when you've been with her, I've never seen you so happy!
Obi-Wan: That could be for a number of reasons.
Caller #3: … …You murmur her name in your sleep.
Obi-Wan: Anakin!
Padmé: You do?
Caller #3: I'm only telling the truth like you always say I should.
Obi-Wan: Under different circumstances would've been my preference.
Gayle: On this show, we have no secrets.
Obi-Wan: Obviously.
Caller #3: Give it up, Master. Do yourself a favor and turn to Padmé right now and ask her out. I think you'll be surprised at her answer.
Obi-Wan: Believe me, padawan. At this point, NOTHING will surprise me!
Caller #3: See you later, Master.
Gayle: That's it for today's show. Thank you for joining us. Be sure to tune in tomorrow night for the winner of The Sexiest Jedi poll. Galactic City voted and Aayla Secura will be live in our studios. You won't want to miss it.
Have a pleasant evening Coruscant! And until next time, this is Galactic Gayle, signing off.
Padmé: Thank you for having us Ms. Riordan. It was rather…enlightening.
Gayle: Don't mention it, dear. I hope everything works out for you. It was nice meeting you both. I've got to wrap up a few things in the office. Do you need an escort out?
Padmé: No, that's okay. We know the way. Good night.
Obi-Wan: … … … …Padmé: Obi-Wan, are you ready to go?
Obi-Wan: … … I suppose so.
Padmé: I'll contact Ric and have him meet us to take me home.
Obi-Wan: Wait.
Padme: ?
Obi-Wan: Instead of going back to your apartment…could you… I mean, would you care to go out? Maybe see a holovid or get something to eat?
Padmé: … … I don't know.
Obi-Wan: Oh.. Well, forget it. Let's just get you back home.
Padmé: Obi-Wan. … I'd be happy to go out with you, but it all depends upon your motivation.
Obi-Wan: My motivation?
Padmé: Yes. Are you asking me to be with you professionally? Or romantically?
Obi-Wan: Oh…Uh….romantically, actually.
Padmé: Then I'd love to.
