Quotes
-
Captain Panaka : Your highness, this is a battle I do not think we can win.
-
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!
