EPISODE
II: Attack of the Clones
Lines from
the screenplay, not necessarily in the actual movie
EXTERIOR: TATOOINE, HOMESTEAD, COURTYARD - LATE DAY
ANAKIN, PADMÉ and THREEPIO arrive in the courtyard.
THREEPIO shuffles ahead.
C-3PO: Master Cliegg, Master Lars! Might I present two
important visitors?
OWEN LARS and BERU WHITESUN come out into the courtyard.
ANAKIN: I'm Anakin Skywalker.
OWEN: Owen Lars. This is my girlfriend, Beru.
BERU: Hello.
PADMÉ: I'm Padmé.
OWEN: I guess I'm your stepbrother. I had a feeling you
might show up some day.
ANAKIN: Is my mother here?
CLIEGG: No, she's not.
CLIEGG LARS swings from the house on a small floating
chair. One of his legs is heavily bandaged; the other is
missing. He balances awkwardly and puts out a hand.
CLIEGG: Cliegg Lars. Shmi is my wife... Come on inside. We
have a lot to talk about...
INTERIOR: TATOOINE, HOMESTEAD, KITCHEN - LATE DAY
BERU puts several steaming cups of ardees on a tray and
exits the kitchen...
CLIEGG: (O.S.) It was just before dawn. They came out of
nowhere. A hunting party of Tusken Raiders.
INTERIOR: TATOOINE, HOMESTEAD, DINING AREA - LATE DAY
CLIEGG, OWEN, PADMÉ and ANAKIN sit around the table, BERU
brings the drinks in from the kitchen.
CLIEGG: Your mother had gone out early, like she always
did, to pick mushrooms that grow on the vaporators. From
the tracks, she was about halfway home when they took her.
Those Tuskens walk like men, but they're vicious, mindless
monsters. Thirty of us went out after her. Four of us came
back. I'd be with them, only... after I lost my leg I just
couldn't ride any more... until I heal.
CLIEGG grimaces, easing his throbbing leg.
CLIEGG: This isn't the way I wanted to meet you, son. This
isn't how your mother and I planned it. I don't want to
give up on her, but she's been gone a month. There's little
hope she's lasted this long.
Silence. Then ANAKIN stands up.
OWEN: Where are you going?
ANAKIN: To find my mother.
PADMÉ: No, Annie!
CLIEGG: Your mother's dead, son. Accept it.
ANAKIN: I can feel her pain, and I will find her.
OWEN: Take my speeder bike.
ANAKIN: I know she's alive.
ANAKIN turns abruptly.
EXTERIOR: TATOOINE, HOMESTEAD, MOISTURE FARM - LATE DAY
ANAKIN stands looking across the desert. PADMÉ comes
running out of the homestead after him. ANAKIN turns to
PADMÉ.
ANAKIN: You are going to have to stay here. These are good
people, Padmé. You'll be safe.
PADMÉ: Anakin...
PADMÉ hugs him. ANAKIN walks over to OWEN'S speeder bike,
which is standing close by.
ANAKIN: I won't be long.
ANAKIN swings onto the bike. The engine fires. He takes off
across the desert. PADMÉ watches him go.
EXT. TATOOINE, DESERT, HOMESTEAD MOISTURE FARM - DAY
All is quiet. BERU comes out of the house. She goes to a moisture line and starts to draw water.
EXTERIOR: TATOOINE, DESERT, HOMESTEAD, MOISTURE FARM -
MORNING
ANAKIN rides the speeder bike toward the homestead. SHMI'S
body is tied to it. OWEN, followed by BERU and PADMÉ, comes
out of the homestead to meet ANAKIN. THREEPIO follows.
CLIEGG hobbles out of the homestead on his hovering chair.
ANAKIN arrives. They run to him as he steps away from the
bike, carrying SHMI. He stops, face-to-face with CLIEGG.
There is a brief pause. Then he carries SHMI into the
homestead.
INTERIOR: TATOOINE, MOISTURE FARM, KITCHEN - MORNING
PADMÉ prepares some food for ANAKIN. BERU helps her.
BERU: What's it like there?
PADMÉ: I'm sorry?
BERU: On Naboo... What's it like?
PADMÉ is completely preoccupied with her concern for
ANAKIN, but she does her best to reply.
PADMÉ: Oh - It's... very green. With lots of water. And
trees. Not like here at all.
She takes out a tray and starts to put food on it.
BERU: I think I like it here better.
PADMÉ: Maybe you'll come and see it one day.
BERU: I don't think so. I don't like to travel.
They finish preparing the tray.
PADMÉ: (smiles) Thanks, Beru.
She goes out.
EXTERIOR: TATOOINE, HOMESTEAD, GRAVESITE - DAY
ANAKIN, PADMÉ, CLIEGG, OWEN, BERU, and THREEPIO are
standing around Shmi's grave. Two other headstones, one
smaller than the other, stand in the blazing suns.
CLIEGG: I know wherever you are it's become a better place.
You were the most loving partner a man could ever have.
Goodbye, my dearest wife. And thank you.
Brief pause. ANAKIN steps forward and kneels at his
mother's grave. He picks up a handful of sand.
ANAKIN: I wasn't strong enough to save you, Mom. I wasn't
strong enough. But I promise I won't fail again... (he
stands up) I miss you so much.
Silence. Then BEEPS and WHISTLES are heard. They turn as
ARTOO rolls up.
PADMÉ: Artoo, what are you doing here?
ARTOO BEEPS and WHISTLES.
C-3PO: It seems that he is carrying a message from an Obi-
Wan Kenobi. Master Annie, does that name mean anything to
you?
