Captain Panaka
- Qui-Gon Jinn: Your Highness, under the circumstances, I suggest you come to Coruscant with us.
- Queen Amidala: Thank you, Ambassador. But my place is with my people.
- Qui-Gon Jinn: They will kill you if you stay.
- Governor Sio Bibble: They wouldn't dare.
- Captain Panaka: They need her to sign a treaty to make this invasion of theirs legal. They can't afford to kill her.
- [after R2 saves the ship, Captain Panaka brings him before Sabe who is posing as the queen]
- Captain Panaka: An extremely well-put together little droid, Your Highness. Without a doubt, it saved the ship, as well as our lives.
- Sabé: It is to be commended. What is its number?
- [Panaka brushes dirt off R2 to read his number]
- Captain Panaka: R2-D2, Your Highness.
- Sabé: Thank you, R2-D2.
- [R2 beeps in gratitude]
- Sabé: Padme!
- [Padme steps forward]
- Sabé: Clean this droid up as best you can. It deserves our gratitude.
- Ric Olié: There's not enough power to get us to Coruscant. The hyperdrive is leaking.
- Qui-Gon Jinn: We'll have to land somewhere to refuel and repair the ship.
- Obi-Wan: [searching the databank] Here, Master. Tatooine. It's small, out of the way, poor. The Trade Federation have no presence there.
- Captain Panaka: How can you be sure?
- Qui-Gon Jinn: It's controlled by the Hutts.
- Captain Panaka: You can't take Her Royal Highness there. The Hutts are gangsters. If they discovered her...
- Qui-Gon Jinn: It would be no different than if we landed on a system controlled by the Federation. Except that the Hutts aren't looking for her, which gives us the advantage.
- Captain Panaka: Her Highness commands you to take her handmaiden with you.
- Qui-Gon Jinn: No more commands from Her Highness today, Captain. The spaceport is not going to be pleasant.
- Captain Panaka: The queen wishes it. She's curious about the planet.
- Qui-Gon Jinn: This is not a good idea.
- [to Padme]
- Qui-Gon Jinn: Stay close to me.
- Qui-Gon Jinn: We're ambassadors for the Supreme Chancellor.
- Governor Sio Bibble: Your negotiations seem to have failed, Ambassador.
- Qui-Gon Jinn: The negotiations never took place. It's urgent that we make contact with the Republic.
- Captain Panaka: They've knocked out all our communications.
- Qui-Gon Jinn: Do you have transports?
- Captain Panaka: In the main hangar. This way.
- Obi-Wan: [seeing the repair droids being destroyed] We're losing droids fast.
- Captain Panaka: If we can't get the shield generator fixed, we'll be sitting ducks.
- [the next-to-last droid is destroyed, leaving only R2]
- Ric Olié: The shields are gone.
- [R2 works feverishly to repair the circuits. In the cockpit, the control panel lights up]
- Ric Olié: The power's back. That little droid did it! He bypassed the main power drive. Deflector shields up at maximum!
