ANAKIN
I look forward to seeing Naboo again. I've thought about it every day since I left. It's by far the most beautiful place I've ever seen...

PADME is a little unnerved by his intense stare.

PADMÉ
You were just a little boy then. It may not be as you remember it; time changes your perception.

ANAKIN
I think time has given me much more mature feelings to enhance my perception.

PADMÉ
It must be difficult having sworn your life to the Jedi... not being able to visit the places you like... or do the things you like...

ANAKIN
Or be with the people I love.

PADMÉ
Are you allowed to love? I thought that was forbidden for a Jedi.

ANAKIN
Attachment is forbidden. Possession is forbidden. Compassion, which I would define as unconditional love, is central to a Jedi's life, so you might say we're encouraged to love.

PADMÉ
You have changed so much

ANAKIN
You haven't changed a bit. You're exactly the way I remember you in my dreams. I doubt if Naboo has changed much either.

PADMÉ
It hasn't...

ANAKIN
I can't wait to breathe the sweet breeze that comes off the rolling hills. Whenever I try to visualise the Force, those hills are what I see.

ANAKIN looks at PADME when he says this.

ANAKIN
(continuing) I love Naboo.


EXT. NABOO, MOUNTAIN MEADOW - LATER AFTERNOON
PADME and ANAKIN are in the middle of an idyllic hilly meadow, its lush grasses sprinkled with flowers. At a distance, a herd of SHAAKS graze contentedly.

Beyond is the shimmering expanse of the lake. Several other lakes stretch to the horizon. The warm air is full of little floating puffballs. They sit on the grass, in a playful, coy mood, talking. PADME is picking flowers.

PADMÉ
I don't know...

ANAKIN
Sure you do... you just don't want to tell me.

PADMÉ
Are you going to use one of your Jedi mind tricks on me?

ANAKIN
They only work on the weak-minded. You are anything but weak-minded.

PADMÉ
All right... his name was Palo. I was twelve. We were both in the Legislative Youth Program. He was a few years older then I... very cute... dark curly hair... dreamy eyes.

ANAKIN
All right, I get the picture... whatever happened to him?

PADMÉ
I went on to become a Queen. He went on to become an artist.

ANAKIN
Maybe he was the smart one.

PADME
You really don't like politicians, do you?

ANAKIN
I like two or three, but I'm not really sure about one of them. (smiling) I don't think the system works.

PADME
How would you have it work?

ANAKIN
We need a system where the politicians sit down and discuss the problems, agree what's in the best interests of all the people, and then do it.

PADME
That is exactly what we do. The trouble is that people don't wlways agree. In fact, they hardly ever do.

ANAKIN
Then they should be made to.

PADME
By whom? Who's going to make them?

ANAKIN
I don't know. Someone.

PADME
You?

ANAKIN
Of course not me.

PADME
But someone.

ANAKIN
Someone wise.

PADME
That sounds an awful lot like a dictatorship to me.

A mischievious little grin creeps across his face.

ANAKIN
Well, if it works...

PADME stares at ANAKIN. He looks back at her, straight-faced, and can't hold a smile.

PADMÉ
You're making fun of me.

ANAKIN
(sarcastic) On no, I'd be much too frightened to tease a Senator.

PADMÉ
You're so bad!


EXT. NABOO LAKE RETREAT, LODGE, BALCONY OVERLOOKING GARDENS - MORNING ANAKIN is on the balcony overlooking the gardens. After a moment, PAMDE comes onto the balcony behind him. She sees he is meditating and turns to go.

ANAKIN
(eyes closed) Don't go.

PAMDE
I don't want to disturb you.

ANAKIN
Your presence is soothing.

Brief pause.

PADME
You had a nightmare again last night.

ANAKIN
Jedi don't have nightmares.

PADME
I heard you.

ANAKIN'S opens his eyes and looks at her.

ANAKIN
I saw my mother. I saw her as clearly as I see you now. She's suffering, Padme. She is in pain...They're killing her! (getting up) I know I'm disobeying my mandate to protect you, Senator. I know I will be punished and possibly thrown out of the Jedi Order, but I must go. I have to help her! I'm sorry, Padme. I don't have a choice.

PADME
Annie, I told you I wouldn't let you give up your future for me. I'll go with you. That way you can continue to protect me, and you won't be disobeying your mandate.

ANAKIN
What about Master Obi-wan?

PADME smiles and takes his hand.

PADME
I guess we won't tell him, will we?


ANAKIN and PADME stop at the balustrade. PADME looks out across the garden to the shimmering lake and the mountains rising beyond. ANAKIN looks at her silently.

PADMÉ
When I was in Level Three, we used to come here for school retreat. See that island? We used to swim there every day. I love the water.

ANAKIN
I do too. I guess it comes from growing up on a desert planet.

PADME becomes aware that ANAKIN is looking at her.

PADMÉ
...We used to lie on the sand and let the sun dry us... and try to guess the names of the birds singing.

ANAKIN
I don’t like sand. It’s coarse and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything’s soft... and smooth...

He touches her arm. PADME has become receptive to the way he looks at her but is nervous.

PADMÉ
There was a very old man who lived on the island. He used to make glass out of sand - and vases and necklaces out of the glass. They were magical.

ANAKIN
(looks into her eyes) Everything here is magical.

PADMÉ
You could look into the glass and see the water. The way it ripples and moves. It looked so real... but it wasn’t.

ANAKIN
Sometimes, when you believe something to be real, it becomes real. Real enough, anyway...

They look into each other's eyes. He touches her chin.

PADMÉ
I used to think if you looked too deeply into glass, you would lose yourself.

ANAKIN
I think it's true...

ANAKIN kisses PADME. She doesn't resist. She comes to her senses and pulls away.

PADMÉ
I shouldn't have done that.

ANAKIN
I'm sorry. When I'm around you, my mind is no longer my own.

PADMÉ
It's the situation... the stress...

He looks at her.

ANAKIN
...the view.


ANAKIN
May I tell you something?

PADME
I don't know.

ANAKIN
Then how can I tell you?

PADME
Maybe you should use your Jedi intuition.

ANAKIN
It doesn't work around you. My mind is always a muddle... I can only think of you.

PADME
Anakin, don't...

ANAKIN
From the moment I met you, all those years ago, a day hasn't gone by when I haven't thought of you. And now that I'm close to you again, I'm in agony. The closer I get to you, the worse it gets. The thought of not being with you mskes my stomach turn over - my mouth goes dry. I feel dizzy. I can't breathe. I'm haunted by the kiss you should never have given me. My heart is beating, hoping that kiss will not become a scar. You are in my very soul, tormenting me. What can I do? I will do anything you ask...

Silence. The logs flame in the hearth.

ANAKIN
(continuing) If you are suffering as much as I am, tell me.

PADME
...I can't. We can't. It's just not possible.

ANAKIN
Anything's possible. Padme, please listen...

PADME
You listen. We live in a real world. Come back to it. You're studying to become a Jedi Knight. I'm a Senator. If you follow your thoughts through to conclusion, they will take us to a place we cannot go... regardless of the way we feel about each other.

ANAKIN
Then you do feel something! There's an extraordinary connection between us. You can't deny that.

PADME
Annie, it doesn't make any difference. Jedi aren't allowed to marry. You swore an oath, remember? You'd be expelled from the Order. I will not let you give up your responsibilities... your future, for me.

ANAKIN
I was destined to be a Jedi. I don't think I could be anything else. But you are asking me to be rational. That is something I know I cannot do. I wish I could wish my feelings away... but I can't.

PADME
I am not going to give into this. I'm not going to throw my life away. I have more important things to do than fall in love.

There is silence as they stare at the fire. ANAKIN is thinking.

ANAKIN
It wouldn't have to be that way... we could keep it a secret.

PADME
Then we'd be living a lie - one we couldn't keep even if we wanted to. My sister saw it. So did my mother. I couldn't do that. Could you, Anakin? Could you live like that?

Silence for a moment.

ANAKIN
...No, you're right. It would destroy us.


ANAKIN
Don't be afraid.

PADMÉ
I'm not afraid to die. I've been dying a little bit each day since you came back into my life.

ANAKIN
What are you talking about?

PADMÉ
I love you.

ANAKIN
You love me?! I thought we decided not to fall in love. That we would be forced to live a lie. That it would destroy our lives...

PADMÉ
I think our lives are about to be destroyed anyway. My love for you is a puzzle, Annie, for which I have no answers. I can't control it... and now I don't care. I truly, deeply love you, and before we die I want you to know.
