THREEPIOI beg your pardon, sir, but do youknow what he's talking about?LUKEWell, I don't know anyone named Obi-Wan, but old Ben lives out beyondthe dune sea. He's kind of a strangeold hermit.Luke's gazes at the beautiful young princess for a fewmoments.LUKEI wonder who she is. It sounds likeshe's in trouble. I'd better playback the whole thing.Artoo beeps something to Threepio.THREEPIOHe says the restraining bolt hasshort circuited his recording system.He suggests that if you remove thebolt, he might be able to play backthe entire recording.Luke looks longingly at the lovely, little princess and hasn'treally heard what Threepio has been saying.LUKEH'm? Oh, yeah, well, I guess you'retoo small to run away on me if Itake this off! Okay.Luke takes a wedged bar and pops the restraining bolt offArtoo's side.LUKEThere you go.The princess immediately disappears...LUKEWell, wait a minute. Where'd she go?Bring her back! Play back the entiremessage.Artoo beeps an innocent reply as Threepio sits up inembarrassment.THREEPIOWhat message? The one you're carryinginside your rusty innards!A women's voice calls out from another room.AUNT BERULuke? Luke! Come to dinner!Luke stands up and shakes his head at the malfunctioningrobot.LUKEAll right, I'll be right there, AuntBeru.THREEPIOI'm sorry, sir, but he appears tohave picked up a slight flutter.Luke tosses Artoo's restraining bolt on the workbench andhurries out of the room.LUKEWell, see what you can do with him.I'll be right back.THREEPIO(to Artoo)Just you reconsider playing thatmessage for him.Artoo beeps in response.Artoo beeps.THREEPIONo, I don't think he likes you atall.THREEPIONo, I don't like you either.INT. LARS HOMESTEAD - DINING AREALuke's Aunt Beru, a warm, motherly woman, fills a pitcherwith blue fluid from a refrigerated container in the wellusedkitchen. She puts the pitcher on a tray with some bowlsof food and starts for the dining area.Luke sits with his Uncle Owen before a table covered withsteaming bowls of food as Aunt Beru carries in a bowl of redgrain.LUKEYou know, I think that R2 unit webought might have been stolen.OWENWhat makes you think that?LUKEWell, I stumbled across a recordingwhile I was cleaning him. He says hebelongs to someone called Obi-WanKenobi.
Owen is greatly alarmed at the mention of his name, butmanages to control himself.LUKEI thought he might have meant oldBen. Do you know what he's talkingabout? Well, I wonder if he's relatedto Ben.Owen breaks loose with a fit of uncontrolled anger.OWENThat old man's just a crazy oldwizard. Tomorrow I want you to takethat R2 unit into Anchorhead andhave its memory flushed. That'll bethe end of it. It belongs to us now.LUKEBut what if this Obi-Wan comes lookingfor him?OWENHe won't, I don't think he existsany more. He died about the sametime as your father.LUKEHe knew my father?OWENI told you to forget it. Your onlyconcern is to prepare the new droidsfor tomorrow. In the morning I wantthem on the south ridge working outthose condensers.LUKEYes, sir. I think those new droidsare going to work out fine. In fact,I, uh, was also thinking about ouragreement about my staying on anotherseason. And if these new droids dowork out, I want to transmit myapplication to the Academy this year.Owen's face becomes a scowl, although he tries to suppressit.OWENYou mean the next semester beforeharvest?LUKESure, there're more than enoughdroids.OWENHarvest is when I need you the most.Only one more season. This year we'llmake enough on the harvest so I'llbe able to hire some more hands. Andthen you can go to the Academy nextyear.Luke continues to toy with his food, not looking at his uncle.OWENYou must understand I need you here,Luke.LUKEBut it's a whole 'nother year.OWENLook, it's only one more season.Luke pushes his half-eaten plate of food aside and stands.LUKEYeah, that's what you said last yearwhen Biggs and Tank left.AUNT BERUWhere are you going?LUKEIt looks like I'm going nowhere. Ihave to finish cleaning those droids.Resigned to his fate, Luke paddles out of the room. Owenmechanically finishes his dinner.AUNT BERUOwen, he can't stay here forever.Most of his friends have gone. Itmeans so much to him.OWENI'll make it up to him next year. Ipromise.AUNT BERULuke's just not a farmer, Owen. Hehas too much of his father in him.OWENThat's what I'm afraid of.EXT.
