Hello Bail, it's Obi. Fine, yes thanks - how are you? Been a long time, eh? Yes, sorry about that - I've been really busy, you know?

What do you mean "What do I want this time"? I'm hurt, Bail. I don't only contact you when I want something. Do I? No, I really don't. I sent you that "Happy Nameday" message last year. It wasn't last year? Oh. Sorry.

All right, there is a little something you could do for me. Calm down, I don't want to hide any more troops in the palace. I know, that wasn't a good idea. I said I was sorry at the time, didn't I? They didn't actually wreck the place, anyway. They did. Well you did receive compensation.

You said you wouldn't bring that up again. It was an accident, Bail! You can afford a starfighter or two...

Can we just forget that and move on? Thank you. You know I appreciate your help, I really do. How much? Well, if I come and see you, perhaps I could show you...

In the next couple of tens or so... If you can help me with this little problem. Don't shout, Bail. It's a perfectly good link.

If you'd just let me... It's Anakin. You were right about him. I know. A real bastard. I know, I know - you warned me. Should have listened to you. Well, thing is... there are these two kids...

Oh, go on Bail. You have all that room, plenty to spare, and your staff could handle it - you'd never even know they were there. What? Kids are not your thing.

But these are so cute - you'd love them. They're really tiny. Twins. Boy and girl. I could bring them straight to...

That really was very loud, Bail. Yes, they're Anakin's. Well I should think he'll be looking for them - although he doesn't actually know there are two of them. What? Dagobah? I can't take babies there - they'd get pneumonia from the damp! Yoda would probably drop them in the swamp.

Tatooine? Now you're being silly. That's the first place he'd look.

Well if you put it like that, I definitely will make it worth your while. You old devil! I will, just how you like it... With feathers? You got some? Hehehe!

No - I won't do that. I did not! Bail, if you had let me explain at the time instead of storming out in a strop - I did not shout his name as I came. If you'd waited to hear, I was actually going to say "Quite a nice view from these windows..." He never crosses my mind nowadays. Would I lie to you?

Look, I'll bring them to let you see, you'll fall in love with them as soon as...

Just one? What am I supposed to do with the other one? I see. I suppose you're right - it is my problem. All right, I'll arrange transport straight away and we'll be with you in five days. Just the one. Promise. You'll love her. No - no Jedi powers or anything. She'll be quiet as a mouse.

Cheers, Bail. I owe you. Thanks. Yes, love you too. Bye.
