Chapter 3: Binary Sunset

(Inside Lincoln's garage, Leni gets in a tub of warm oil while Lincoln dusts Lisa off with a rag.)

Leni: (relaxed) Oh, thank the maker! This oil bath is gonna feel so good. (to Lincoln) Thanks for taking us in. We'll help you in anyway you can.

Lincoln: (depressed) I'm sure you'll guys will be very useful for work around here. But unless you can alter time, speed up the harvest or teleport me off this rock, you can't really help me personally.

Lisa: We droids are not so knowledgeable of such things.

Leni: Yeah, not on this planet, anyways. In fact, I don't think I even know what planet this is.

Lincoln: Well, if there's a bright center to the universe, this is the planet that it's furthest from. (groans) It just isn't fair. I'm never gonna get out of here!

Leni: I'm sorry, sir.

Lincoln: (calms down a little) Oh, you can call me Lincoln.

Leni: I see, sir Lincoln.

Lincoln: (chuckles) Just Lincoln.

Leni: I am Leni-3PO, and this is my associate, Lisa-D2.

Lincoln: Nice to meet you both.

Lisa: Likewise, Lincoln.

Lincoln: (continues cleaning Lisa) You got a lot of carbon scoring here. Looks like you girls have seen a lot of action.

Leni: Well, with all we've been through, it's amazing we're still in good condition.

Lisa: Agreed. It gets rather difficult serving in the Rebellion.

Lincoln: (excited) You guys know of the Rebellion against the Empire!? I'm a huge fan of them!

Leni: That's how we came to this place after a battle didn't go so well.

Lincoln: Have you been in many battles?

Lisa: Well, there's not much to tell. We're not exactly the type of droids designed for combat.

(Lincoln struggles to remove a small metal fragment stuck in Lisa's neck joint.)

Lincoln: Well, my little friend, you've got something jammed in here real good. Were you on a cruiser or…

(The fragment breaks loose and forces Lincoln back, landing on his bottom. A small dimensional hologram suddenly comes out of the projector on Lisa's torso. They see the hologram of a young, blonde woman in a white dress. Lincoln and Leni look awestruck while Lisa looks nervous.)

Lori: Help me, Luna Kenobi. You're my only hope.

Lincoln: What's this?

Lisa: (sheepishly) Um, what's what?

Leni: (confused) "What's what"? He asked you a question. (points to the hologram) What's that?

(They watch the hologram only for it to show Lori repeating the same sentence fragment.)

Lori: Help me, Luna Kenobi. You're my only hope.

Lisa: Uh, this is nothing important. Merely a malfunction replaying some old data. Just ignore it.

Lincoln: (intrigued) Who is she? She's beautiful. She looks like someone very important.

Leni: Oh, she's just out awesome leader, Pri-

Lisa: (interrupting) She's just a passenger on our last voyage. We're not quite sure who she is.

Lincoln: Well, is there more to this recording?

Lisa: With all do respect, Lincoln, you don't really have to know that.

Leni: Come on, Lisa. We can trust him. He's our new master.

Lisa: (sighs) Very well. All I can tell you is that this woman has given me a very special, secret mission to deliver a message to the individual known as Luna Kenobi. She's a resident of these parts, I've been told. It's a private message for her only.

Leni: Oh, so that's what you're supposed to do here. That's nice! (to Lincoln) Honestly, I have no idea what she's talking about.

Lincoln: (curious) Luna Kenobi? I wonder if you mean old Lulu Kenobi?

Leni: (confused) I beg your pardon, Lincoln, but do you know what she's talking about?

Lincoln: Well, I don't know anyone named Luna. But old Lulu lives out beyond the dune sea. She's kind of a strange hermit woman but she's nice and cool. I meet with her sometimes. (looks back at the hologram of Lori) I wonder who she is. It sounds like she's in trouble. I want to play the whole thing.

Lisa: This restraining bolt has short circuited my system. If you remove it, I might be able to show the entire recording.

Leni: I knew you'd open up to us!

Lincoln: Well, I guess you're too small to run away on me if I take it off. (takes a wedged bad and pops the bolt off Lisa's side) There you go. (sees the hologram has disappeared) Hey, wait a minute. Where'd she go? Bring her back! Play back the whole message!

Lisa: (innocently) What message?

Leni: (irritated) "What message"? The one you're carrying in your rusty innards!

Rita: (from outside) Lincoln! I'm starting dinner now!

Lincoln: (calling back) Okay, Aunt Rita!

Lisa: I'm sorry, but it appears I've picked up a slight flutter.

Lincoln: Well, I'll deal with you later. You two are settled in now. Until dinner's ready, I think I'll go bullseye some womprats in my T-16.

Leni: Wait, you hunt wild animals for sport? That seems a little cruel, don't you think?

Lincoln: This place is a desert wasteland with two suns. What the heck am I supposed to do!? (leaves the garage)

Leni: (to Lisa) Why don't you reconsider playing him that message?

Lisa: Because it's not for him.

Leni: Well, then, I don't think he likes you very much.

(Later, when the suns started to set, Lincoln sits at a dinner table with his aunt and uncle.)

Lincoln: You know, I think that R2 unit we bought might have been stolen or something.

Lynn Sr: What makes you say that?

Lincoln: I stumbled across a recording while I was cleaning her. It was for someone named Luna Kenobi. I thought she meant old Lulu. Do you know anyone by that name? Is she related to Lulu?

Lynn Sr: (a little alarmed and upset) Ah, don't worry about it. Lulu's just a odd desert wizard. Tomorrow I want you to take the droid into Anchorhead and have her memory flushed. That'll be the end of it. She belongs to us now.

Lincoln: But what if this Luna comes looking for her?

Lynn Sr: She won't. I don't think she exists anymore. She died about the same time as your sister.

Lincoln: (ecstatic) She knew my sister!?

Lynn Sr: (sternly) I told you to forget it. Your only concern is to prepare the new droids for the harvest. In the morning you're going to take them on the south ridge working out those condensers.

Lincoln: Yes, sir. I think those new droids are gonna work out just fine. In fact, I uh, was also thinking about our agreement about my staying on another season. And if these droids do work out, I want to transmit my application to the Academy this year.

Lynn Sr: You mean the next semester before harvest?

Lincoln: Sure, there's more than enough droids now.

Lynn Sr: Harvest is when I need you the most. Only one more season. This year we'll make enough on the harvest so I'll be able to hire some more hands. And then you can go to the Academy next year.

(Lincoln says nothing but looks disappointed.)

Lynn Sr: You must understand I need you here, Lincoln.

Lincoln: But it's a whole 'nother year.

Lynn Sr: Look, it's only one more season.

(Lincoln pushes his half-eaten plate of food aside and stands up.)

Lincoln: Yeah, that's what you said last year when the other kids left.

Rita: Where are you going?

Lincoln: It looks like I'm going nowhere. I gotta finish cleaning those droids. (walks away)

Rita: Lynn, he can't stay here forever. Everybody else his age have already gone. It means so much to him.

Lynn Sr: I'll make it up to him this year. I promise.

Rita: Lincoln's just not a farmer. He has too much of his sister in him.

Lynn Sr: I know and that's what I'm afraid of.

(Lincoln goes out of the house and up a small hill. He stops at the top and sees the giant twin suns of Tatooine going down on the horizon.)

Lincoln: (confidently) One day, I'm gonna get off this planet, join the Rebellion and fight the Empire!

(He continues to stare at the sunset as beautifully epic music plays behind him. He then turns to the audience.)

Lincoln: (smiling) John Williams and the London Symphony Orchestra, everyone!

(Shows a very large group of well-dressed people playing classical instruments with John Williams conducting.)

Lincoln: Keep it up with the iconic film scores, you guys!

(Lincoln enters his garage and doesn't see Leni or Lisa. He takes a small remote control from his utility belt and activates it. Leni, letting out a small scream, pops up from behind a crate.)

Lincoln: What're you doing hiding back there?

Leni: (scared) It wasn't my fault! Please don't deactivate me! I tried to stop her but she kept on babbling on about her mission!

Lincoln: Oh, no!

(Lincoln realized Lisa had gone off into the desert to find Luna Kenobi. He ran out in the yard and looked into the distance with binoculars. Leni followed him.)

Leni: That little troublemaker is so stubborn! Those astromech droids just get so out of hand! Even I can't understand them!

Lincoln: She's nowhere in sight. I shouldn't have left her off the leash. Blast it! What the phantom menace is with her!?

Leni: Shouldn't we go after her?

Lincoln: We can't right now. It gets too dangerous at night with all the creatures and Sandpeople roaming around. We'll have to wait until morning.

Lynn Sr: (from inside) Lincoln! I'm shutting the power down for the night!

Lincoln: (calling back) Okay! I'll be there in a minute! (to Leni) Boy, am I gonna get it.

(They go back in.)

Lincoln: That Lisa is gonna cause me a lot of trouble.

Leni: Oh, she's really good at that, sir.
