"...No, but I do, Senator," Supreme Chancellor Palpatine was saying. Their argument was cut short as members of the Jedi Council entered the office.
"Senator Amidala, your tragedy on the landing platform, terrible it was. Seeing you alive brings warm feelings to my heart," Yoda greeted. Amidala, Palpatine and the Jedi talked for a bit and Palpatine brought up the suggestion of placing Amidala in the Jedi's care for the time being.

"Calm yourself, Anakin. Don't center on your anxieties-"
"'Keep your focus here and now, where it belongs,' I know."
"You're tense. I haven't seen you this unnerved since we fell into that nest of gundarks."
"You fell into that nightmare, Master, and I rescued you, remember?"

"Remember the Code, my young padawan."

"Master Jinn, it's good to see you again."

"Ani? My goodness, you've grown."
"So have you," the padawan replied, "Grown more beautiful, I mean. Well, for—for a senator, I mean." Amidala smiled.
"Oh, Ani, you'll always be that little boy I knew on Tatooine." At that point, Amidala's chief of security stepped in to introduce himself.
