The Waterfall

INT. NABOO LAKE - UNDERWATER - SUB (FX)

The little sub continues to propel itself toward the surface, which is brightly lit.

JAR JAR
Wesa dude it!

EXT. THEED - ESTUARY - DAY

Paradise. Billowing clouds frame a romantic body of water. There is a LOUD RUSH OF BUBBLES, and a small sub bobs to the surface.

The current in the estuary begins to pull the sub backward into a fast moving river. OBI-WAN switches off the two remaining bubble canopies. QUI-GON stands up to look around. JAR JAR lets out a sigh of relief.

 

JAR JAR
Wesa safe now. 

QUI-GON
Get this thing started! 

JAR JAR
Dissen berry good. Hey? 

OBI-WAN
What is it? 

JAR JAR looks back to where they're drifting. He sees they are headed for a large waterfall. 

JAR JAR
What!!?? Oie boie!

OBI-WAN tries to start the engine. The long props behind the sub slowly begin to rotate. OBI-WAN struggles until finally, a few feet short of the waterfall, the sub starts and is able to generate enough power to stop drifting backward in the powerful current. The sub slowly moves forward. In the background, QUI-GON takes a cable out of his belt. The engine coughs and dies. They start drifting backward again. JAR JAR panics.

JAR JAR
(Cont'd) Iyiiiyi, wesa die'n here, hey! 

QUI-GON shoots the thin cable, and it wraps itself around a railing on the shore. The sub pulls the cable taut, and the little craft hangs precariously over the edge of the waterfall.

QUI-GON
Come on...

OBI-WAN climbs out of the sub and pulls himself along the cable.

QUI-GON starts in after him.

QUI-GON
(Cont'd) Come on, Jar Jar.

JAR JAR
No! Too scary! 

OBI-WAN
Get up here! 

JAR JAR
No a mighty no! 

JAR JAR looks back and sees he is hanging over the waterfall. 

JAR JAR
(Cont'd) Oie boie...mesa comen. Mesa comen!

JAR JAR starts to climb out of the sub.

OBI-WAN is on shore and helps to pull QUI-GON out of the water.

OBI-WAN
That was close. 

BATTLE DROID 3B3 (O.S.)
Drop your weapons! 

The TWO JEDI turn around and see a BATTLE DROID standing in front of them. JAR JAR climbs up on shore between the JEDI. 

BATTLE DROID 3B3
I said drop your weapons. 

QUI-GON ignites his laser sword, and in a brief flash, the DROID is cut down by the JEDI. A stray laser bolt hits the cable and the sub breaks loose, crashing down the waterfall.
The JEDI move on. JAR JAR reluctantly follows and looks back at the mess.

JAR JAR
Whoa!!!

The group proceeds to Theed.
