                           ATKINSON RAIN
                 No, you don't.

                           ATKINSON RAIN

       stomach.

       CLOSE UP - ATKINSON RAIN

       Blood flows from the diagonal gash across her face.

       EXT. SPACE - TATOOINE

       The wreckage of Nemesis's Tatooine fleet orbits the planet.

       EXT. MOS ESPA - ANAKIN'S HOVEL

       The CAMERA pushes in on the blackened hovel.

                           SEE-THREEPIO
                 Master Anakin?
                     (beat)
                 I thank you for completing me.
                     (beat)
                 How might I serve you?

       MEDIUM SHOT - ANAKIN

       ANAKIN shakes his head.  He speaks in a shaky voice.

                           ANAKIN
                 Ummm...
                     (beat)

                     (os)
                 Oh, excuse me!

       He prepares meet this intruder.

       MEDIUM SHOT - ENTRANCE TO ANAKIN'S ROOM
