A: Woo-hoo! V: AFTER I deal with the shuttle. A: But- V: No buts. Shuttle first. Then Ewoks. A: *sighs* One of these days, we're going to have to sit down and straighten out your priorities... -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
		ON ENDOR: (An Imperial Shuttle descends to the landing platform near the shield generator. Vader stalks down the ramp, on his way to meet with Luke.) ANAKIN: What's the deal with the deflector shield? VADER: Excuse me? A: Well, does the shield protect the Death Star and the moon? V: What are you- A: Like with that shuttle Tydirium a little while ago. They didn't want to go to the Death Star; they were heading for the moon, but they had to get the shield lowered, anyway. So, does the moon have a shield, too? V: I don't- A: And why's it called the Sanctuary Moon, anyway? V: That- A: And why were the troops equipped with vehicles that travel at hundreds of kilometers an hour on a planet full of trees? Who thought that was a good idea? That's just asking for trouble.... V: Well, it is fun to watch them explode... A: And what about- V: Stop! You're making my head hurt! A: Hey, I can't help it if I'm inquisitive. V: You're not inquisitive; you're a nuisance. A: Besides, that headache isn't my fault; that's just your microchip acting up. (pause) V: Did you just say microchip...? A: Yeah, the one Palpatine had implanted in your head to keep track of where you are all the time. V: The Emperor did not put a microchip in my head! A: Sure, he did. And that's not all. Man, you should see some of the stuff that's in here. V: You're just making this up. A: Listen, all I'm saying is that if Palpatine presses a certain button on his throne... V: Yes? A: You'll be tap-dancing around the room in a sundress and bonnet, belting out showtunes. V: I most certainly will not! A: Don't say I didn't warn you... (long pause) V: Well, are they the good showtunes, at least? You know, those snappy old-style ones? A: The snappiest. V: Oh. Well, I guess that's not so bad, then. ------------------------------------------------------ home   previous   next
