INT - GALACTIC SENATE

The huge galactic senate room is abuzz with the murmur of aliens. They
are making noise and debating things. Senator Palpatine sits on a
floating platform in the middle of it all.

PALPATINE
Silence! Silence all of you! I will now speak!

The murmur dies down as people turn their attention to Palpatine.

PALPATINE
Now that I have this emergency power and this clone army, I
have something to tell you all.

JAR JAR BINKS
Oh massa, this a'gonna be good.

PALPATINE
Silence, you crab-eyed monster! I merely used you as a means
to my twisted ends!

JAR JAR BINKS
Whatchoo sayin, boss?

PALPATINE
With the emergency powers you foolishly granted to me, I now
proclaim myself EMPORER OF THE GALAXY. The clone army shall
defend me and strike down all who oppose me!

JAR JAR BINKS
Massa, we ain't gwine stand by this nonsense, sho'nuff!

PALPATINE
Oh, poor Jar Jar, there is nothing you can do.

JAR JAR BINKS
Sheeeeeeeeit.

OBIE WAN swoops down on a rope from above and lands on the platform.

OBIE WAN
But I can do something!

OBIE WAN draws his lightsaber and turns it on, pointing it at PALPATINE'S
neck.

OBIE WAN
You must turn the republic back over to the people!

PALPATINE
You underestimate me!

Palpatine pulls out a lightsaber and swats Obie's lightsaber away.

OBIE WAN
But... you're not supposed to be a Jedi!

Jar Jar Binks widens his eyes, twirls around, and faints extravagantly.
