INT. CREATURE'S HOUSE

LUKE:	Look, I'm sure it's delicious.  I just don't understand why
	we can't IM Yoda now.

CREATURE:	Patience! For the Jedi Troll it is time to eat as well.
		Eat, eat.  Hot.  Good food, hm?  Good, hmmm?

Moving with some difficulty in the cramped quarters, Luke sits down
near the fire and serves himself from the pot.  Tasting the unfamiliar
concoction, he is pleasantly surprised.

LUKE:	How far away is Yoda?  Will it take us long to FTP there?

CREATURE:	Not far.  Yoda not far.  Patience.  Soon you will
		be with him.  (tasting food from the pot) Rootleaf,
		I cook.  Why wish you become Jedi Troll?  Hm?

LUKE:	Mostly because of my father, I guess.

CREATURE:	Ah, your father.  Powerful Jedi Troll was he,
		powerful Jedi Troll, mmm.

LUKE:	(a little angry) Oh, come on.  How could you know
	my father?  You don't even know who I am.  (fed up)
	Oh, I don't know what I'm doing here.  We're wasting
	our time.

The creature turns away from Luke and speaks to a third party.

CREATURE:	(irritated) I cannot teach him.  The boy has no
		patience.

Luke's head spins in the direction the creature faces.  But there
is no one there.  The boy is bewildered, but it gradually dawns on 
him that the little creature is Yoda, the Troll Master, and that
he is speaking with Ben.

BEN'S VOICE:	He will learn patience.

YODA:	Much anger in him, like his father.

BEN'S VOICE:	Was I any different when you taught me?

YODA:	Hah.  He is not ready.

LUKE:	Yoda! I am ready.  I...Ben! I can be a Troll.  Ben, tell
	him I'm ready.

Trying to see Ben, Luke gets up and hits his head the low ceiling.

YODA:	Ready, are you?  What know you of ready?  For eight hundred
	net years have I trained Jedi Trolls.  My own counsel will
	I keep on who is to be trained!  A Jedi Troll must have the
	deepest commitment, the most bizarre mind.
	(to the invisible Ben, indicating Luke)
	This one a long time have I webcammed.  All his life he has
	looked away...to the future, the horizon.  Never his mind
	on where he was.  Hmmm?  What was he doing?  Hmph.  
	On-topic.  Heh!  Serious discussion. Heh! A Jedi Troll craves
	not these things.  (turning to Luke) You are a netcop!

Luke looks down, he knows it is true.

BEN'S VOICE:	So was I, if you'll remember.

YODA:	He is too old.  Yes, too old to begin the training.

Luke thinks he has detected a subtle softening in Yoda's voice.

LUKE:	But I've learned so much.

Yoda gazes at Luke, then turns and looks at Ben.

YODA:	(sighs) Will he finish what he begins?

LUKE:	I won't disconnect -- I'm not afraid.

YODA:	(turns slowly towards him) Oh, you will be.  You will be.
