5. Note 5 Watto

Note 5
To my slave Anakin,

You better not daydream again boy!! Where are you anyway? I haven't seen you around. You better not be hiding from me, boy….or I'll pound you.

Remember I own you. You do not own your own body or your work. I own all of you.

Make sure that you don't crash your pod in the next race.

Quit coughing. It's really getting me annoyed…so just cut all your coughing out.

Let's see? Why would you be hiding from me? Maybe because you're a bad little boy and you are trying to get out of work?

I do not care if you are sick or not…what's wrong with you anyway? You are my property and everything you do belongs to me. When you don't work, do you know that I lose a lot of time and money?

Now get back to work. I don't care how sick you are. Do you understand me? I demand that you work now or I'll beat your mother again.

Now BOY, GET IN HERE!!!!!!! I have a customer approaching and I need you to dust off the shop while I talk to the customers.

Okay, good. Now I'm going to talk to the customer.

I don't care if you are sick or not. You are not allowed to rest during your work time!!! Do you understand me??????

Heh, heh, boy. You don't know anything about how racing works. "Cheating" is perfectly allowable…the object is to win. Don't you know that?

Your master,
Watto
