[Fade in: Qui-Gon's head and shoulders take up most of the
screen.]
"Greetings, this is Qui-Gon Jinn for Taco Bell(R)."
"If the loud rumblings of your padawan's tummy disturbs you
from a peaceful slumber like mine sometimes does..."
[Obi-Wan, calling from off-stage.]
"Master!! You said--"
[Qui-Gon glances off stage and then looks back at the camera
again, mostly deadpan....but you might see the slightest
twinkle in his eye.]
"As I was saying, if you happen to be roused from your slumber
and find it necessary to obtain a little sustenance for your
growing apprentice, Taco Bell(R) is there, ready to serve until
2 am in some locations, perhaps even later at others!"
[Camera pulls back from him a little to reveal a galactic Taco
Bell(R) and Qui-Gon is pulling up to the drive-thru window in a
speeder.
Taco-Bell drive-thru girl (Girl 1): "That'll be $14.75"
Qui-Gon: "Credits will do fine." with a subtle handwave.
Girl 1 looks a little hesitant: "Um, I don't know...."
Qui-Gon: "Credits will do fine." slightly more forceful
in his tone.
Girl 1, smiling: "Ok. Credits will be fine."
They exchange funds and food, and Qui-Gon pulls away. The other
Taco-Bell girl who was prepping the food comes over to the
cashier.
Girl 2: "Those damn Jedi again, hmm? Why do you always fall for
that mind trick?"
Girl 1: "I would have given him his food for free if he had
called up first with that slow, pensive voice of his....things
have been said about that particular one, you know...."
[fade to black, and then the following text centered on the
screen in white:]
"Profits made by this commercial go to the Jedi Academy - We
Carry the Galaxy on Our Shoulders, So You Don't Have to."
