INT. REBEL BLOCKADE RUNNER - CORRIDOR

The evil Darth Vader stands amid the broken and twisted bodies

of his foes. He grabs a wounded Rebel Officer by the neck as

an Imperial Officer rushes up to the Dark Lord.

IMPERIAL OFFICER

The Death Star plans are not in the

main computer.

Vader squeezes the neck of the Rebel Officer, who struggles

in vain.

No: affidavid | Yes: affidavit

Even if your lawyer's name is ''David,'' he issues affidavits.

No: Old-timer's disease | Yes: Alzheimer's disease

While it is a disease of old-timers, it is named for the German neurologist, Dr. Alois Alzheimer.

VADER

Where are those transmissions you

intercepted?

Vader lifts the Rebel off his feet by his throat.

VADER

What have you done with those plans?

REBEL OFFICER

We intercepted no transmissions.

Aaah... This is a consular ship.

Were on a diplomatic mission.

VADER

If this is a consular ship... were

is the Ambassador?

The Rebel refuses to speak but eventually cries out as the

Dark Lord begins to squeeze the officer's throat, creating a

gruesome snapping and choking, until the soldier goes limp.

Vader tosses the dead soldier against the wall and turns to

his troops.

VADER

Commander, tear this ship apart until

you've found those plans and bring

me the Ambassador. I want her alive!

The stormtroopers scurry into the subhallways.

No: Old-timer's disease | Yes: Alzheimer's disease

While it is a disease of old-timers, it is named for the German neurologist, Dr. Alois Alzheimer.

No: Antartic | Yes: Antarctic

Just think of an arc of ants (an ant arc) and that should help you keep the [c] in the pronunciation of this word.

INT. REBEL BLOCKADE RUNNER - SUBHALLWAY

The lovely young girl huddles in a small alcove as the

stormtroopers search through the ship. She is Princess Leia

Organa, a member of the Alderaan Senate. The fear in her

eyes slowly gives way to anger as the muted crushing sounds

of the approaching stormtroopers grow louder. One of the

troopers spots her.

TROOPER

There she is! Set for stun!

Leia steps from her hiding place and blasts a trooper with

her laser pistol. She starts to run but is felled by a

paralyzing ray. The troopers inspect her inert body.

TROOPER

She'll be all right. Inform Lord

Vader we have a prisoner.

INT. REBEL BLOCKADE RUNNER - SUBHALLWAY

Artoo stops before the small hatch of an emergency lifepod.

He snaps the seal on the main latch and a red warning light

begins to flash. The stubby astro-robot works his way into

the cramped four-man pod.

THREEPIO

Hey, you're not permitted in there.

It's restricted. You'll be deactivated

for sure..

Artoo beeps something to him.

THREEPIO

Don't call me a mindless philosopher,

you overweight glob of grease! Now

come out before somebody sees you.

Artoo whistles something at his reluctant friend regarding

the mission he is about to perform.

THREEPIO

Secret mission? What plans? What are

you talking about? I'm not getting

in there!

Artoo isn't happy with Threepio's stubbornness, and he beeps

and twangs angrily.

A new explosion, this time very close, sends dust and debris

through the narrow subhallway. Flames lick at Threepio and,

after a flurry of electronic swearing from Artoo, the lanky

robot jumps into the lifepod.

THREEPIO

I'm going to regret this.

    • My comment was intended to be humorous. I believe scientists already knew it since they comprehend relatively. Maybe I'm assuming that.
    • Surprise Execs are dumb. I hope the rehired engineers said were not coming back until we get 2x our salary.
