[Ingey chitters]

[C-PO grunts] Oh, dear.

[R-D beeps, whistles]

Why, thank you, R.

Surely you don't need all your belongings
at the Space Academy, Prince Coby.

I don't need you telling me
what I need and don't need, PO.

[R-D whistles]

I haven't heard from the Academy yet
about my senior application, Lord Toda.

Coby sure is lucky to be going.

[Toda] Yes, Coby is fortunate.

I hope the retraining program
has a positive effect on him.

You see, Jann, my son Coby
is very strong-willed.

He has no idea what he wants to do
with his life.

[C-PO grunts]

Would-- Would someone, anyone,
please get this pestering beast off me.

[Ingey whimpering]

Ingey's not a beast. He's a rare
Tessellated Arboreal binjinphant.

Then I suggest you put him on his leash
before he becomes even more rare.

Take care of yourself, little brother.

Goodbye, Gerin. King Julpa.

Good luck, Coby.

The droids and I will ensure that Coby
gets to the Academy safely.

I appreciate that, Jann Tosh.

-Oh! [screams, grunts]
-PO, what are you--

R, help me with this luggage.

R, where are you?

[R-D beeps]

Now where's that boy run off to?

PO, R, find Coby.
The ship's about to leave.

-I'll get the luggage.
-Yes, Master Jann.

Come along, R.

[R-D beeps]

How much for those two droids?

[salesman speaks alien language]

-I'll take 'em.
-[Ingey squeals]

[speaks alien language]

[speaking alien language]

Now, now, Prince Coby.

There are better things to invest
your inheritance in than junk like that.

My great uncle left it to me.
I can spend it any way I want.

Come on, Ingey.

Those other droids would've been more fun
than you and that tin can friend of yours.

-How rude.
-[R-D beeps]

[spaceport announcer] Zallakesh.

Disembark at your own risk.

[C-PO]
I know we have to change ships here,

-but I just don't like the look of it.
-[R-D beeps]

Oh, I think it's great.

-You would.
-[Ingey squeals, purring]

Everything dangerous and criminal
likes to call Zallakesh home.

Don't worry about it, PO.

If we're lucky, our connecting flight
to the Academy should be waiting.

Stay close to R and PO, Coby.

No amount of your inheritance
could get you off a Zallakesh prison ship.

-I'll check on our connection.
-Keep your lens on him, R.

[R-D beeps]

What's it say, PO?

"Starhunter's Intergalactic Menagerie.

Strange creatures
from the outer galaxies."

How curious.

-, feet of chain.
-Uh, check.

-Twelve crates of ankle binders.
-Check.

One very rare, incredibly valuable

-Tessellated Arboreal binjinphant.
-[Ingey squeals]

[together] Huh?

Oh! Check.

-[R-D beeps]
-[C-PO] Prince Coby, come back.

[Coby] Look at those ships, Ingey.

-[Ingey squeals]
-Wow!

-[sighs]
-[Ingey squeals]

"Honest Tobar's Used Spacecraft"? I bet.

Give me my money, PO.

A fool and his money are soon parted.

-R is keeping it for you.
-[R-D beeps]

-Give it to me, now!
-[Ingey growls]

Please show some respect.

We may only be droids,

but we are definitely your elders
by more years than I care to mention.

Yeah. You should've been scrapped
ages ago.

-[R-D beeps]
-[Ingey squeals]

-Wow! Ingey, look! A Blackhawk Destroyer.
-[Ingey squeals]

Hyper-channelled, ion ports.
It's got everything.

And look at this, Ingey. Ingey?

[Ingey yelping]

Hey!

-Stop!
-[C-PO] Prince Coby, come back.

[R-D beeps]

-Let him go, you bunch of thieves!
-[R-D beeps]

Perhaps we can rationalize with them.
Uh, make a deal.

Excuse me. Perhaps we can offer you a
reward for finding our young master's pet.

They wanna buy him back.

[banging]

Give him back! Give him back!

Stop that! Stop that!

[man] Start the ship.

Prince Coby, now see what you've done.
The ship is taking off.

-Oh! Oh, my. Prince Coby, R, the ramp.
-[R-D beeps]

Oh! Oh, no!

-[C-PO exclaims]
-[R-D beeps]

[high pitched] R, look what happened.
My neck is stretched.

-[high pitched] R! R!
-[R-D beeps]

Whoa!

[screams]

[grunts]

Whoa!

[grunts]

[speaks alien language]

[Coby] Hey, wait. Let me explain.

-I fell off a ship and-- Whoa!
-[R-D whistles]

[animal growls]

Where have you been?
You let them get away with Ingey.

Come on.

[R-D beeps]

Quick! Over there.

Have you ever flown a Blackhawk Destroyer?

[R-D beeps]

That better mean yes.

How hard can it be
to fly one of these things?

-[R-D whistles]
-[Coby] Oh, uh...

[R-D beeps]

[speaking alien language]

Relax, old man. We're not gonna steal it.

[R-D beeps]

Uh-huh. [moans]

[alien speaks alien language]

[engines powering up]

Thanks.

-Whoa!
-[R-D beeping]

Get out of the way! We're out of control!

Do something.

[R-D beeps]

[Coby] R, look out!

[R-D shrieks]

[Alien grunts]

Good work, R.

[high pitched]
Whatever shall I tell Master Jann?

Thanks to R,
I seem to have bungled again.

I'll be left here to corrode.

[R-D beeps]

What? PO?

-Forget him. We're after Ingey.
-[R-D beeps]

Okay, okay. We'll pick him up.

[high pitched] After all I've done
for him, the ungrateful little--

-[ship approaching]
-Oh! Oh, goodness. Stop!

[stammers] R?

That must be R.
I'd recognize his driving anywhere.

[screams]

-Where am I?
-[R-D beeps]

Pull up, R! Pull up.

[R-D shrieks]

[high pitched] Prince Coby, I--

[normal] Thank you.
I've flown with R before.

It doesn't get any better.

[R-D beeps]

There they are, dead ahead.

If they jump to lightspeed
before we get there, it's all your fault.

[C-PO] Our fault?

Head 'em off, R.
Show 'em I mean business.

[R-D beeps]

[console beeps]

Now look what you've done.
We're almost out of fuel.

They're gonna make the jump.
Oh, no. Ingey!

Uh, might I suggest attaching our ship
to theirs with the magnetic landing gear.

Now, wherever they go, we go.

-[Coby] Yahoo!
-[C-PO screams]

-[R-D beeps]
-Where are we?

[C-PO] I think that we're somewhere in
the Dandelo system, but I'm only guessing.

Start her up
and let's get out of here, R.

[R-D beeps]

-Head for that bluff.
-[R-D beeps]

R, are you sure? [whimpers]

He says that at our present rate
of fuel consumption--

You don't have to translate.
We're going down.

Look for something soft.

[R-D shrieks]

[crashes]

[C-PO] Is everyone all right?

Uh, I think so.

[R-D beeps]

An SOS? Really, R,
no one's going to pick up that signal.

Oh, PO, come out.
Someone would like to speak to you.

[Fuzzum speaks alien language]

Oh, my.
I do hope it's a registered dialect.

[Fuzzum speaks alien language]

Oh, my goodness.
They think we are starhunters.

They want to sell me

-and use R for a stew pot.
-[R-D beeps]

What? What about me?

That's why they need a stew pot,
I'm afraid.

Talk to them, PO. Please.

Please? Why this must be a first.

Um...

[speaks alien language]

[speaks alien language]

-[C-PO speaks alien language]
-[speaks alien language]

What did they say, PO?

They asked why you would journey
all this way to save an animal.

I told them... love.

[speaks alien language]

I think I got through to them.

-Thanks, PO.
-Well, another first.

[Fuzzum speaks alien language]

I see.

Um, he says that those caves
used to be their homes

until the starhunters forced them out.
Now, they are hunted as well.

When they are caught, the starhunters
force them to help trap others.

[Ingey chitters]

-Oh!
-Get him! Get him!

Ingey!

-[Ingey chitters]
-[grunts]

Quick, after him! He's getting away!

[grunts]

Why, you--

Stroon!

Stroon!

[groans]

Ah, that's better.

-[crashes]
-[Ingey yelps]

[whimpers]

[droid chatters]

Cage seven.

[chatters]

-Let me past. We have to help Ingey.
-[R-D beeps, whistles]

It would be useless to act now.

[Ingey whimpers]

I have to do something. [sobs]

I gotta help.

Oh, please... [sobs] ...help me.

Perhaps there is something we can do.

[sniffles]
Do you mean it, PO? Can we save Ingey?

We can try.

[R-D beeps]

Come on.

[C-PO speaks alien language]

[Fuzzums speaking alien language]

[R-D beeping]

So how do you plan to draw
the starhunters away from the cages?

I'd be embarrassed to tell you.

My idea has only -in-, chances
of succeeding.

Well, anything's worth a sh*t.

Those Fuzzums better not mess this up.

Prince Coby, our plan is to help
our friends, as well as rescue your pet.

I'm sorry, PO. You're right.

Good.

Oh, I hope this works.

[R-D hums]

-PO?
-Yes?

Good luck.

Why, thank you, sir.
The same to you and R.

[R-D beeps]

I don't know what I was thinking of
when I concocted this plan. [shudders]

My gimbals are k*lling me.

I suppose this is far enough.

Now, I think it goes something like this.

[imitating animal roar]

-Listen.
-Huh?

[laughs] Man the nets. We've been after
a spotted jugadoo for years.

Mr. Slarm, bring my stunner.

[groans]

-[yelps]
-[groans]

Why, you...

[groans]

-Watch where you're pointing that thing.
-[whimpers]

[Stroon] Quick! After the jugadoo.

[chatters]

Come on, R. And watch out for guards.

[R-D beeps]

[coughs]

Oh, what I wouldn't give
for a tube of circuit-saver.

[imitating animal roar]

Let's move it. Get the net ready.

[chatters]

Ingey! What?

You're not an animal.

On some of the Outer Systems, I am.

At least Stroon's customers think so.

-What are you doing here?
-Ingey!

[squealing]

[chuckles]
I thought he was too friendly to be wild.

Look, you've gotta get out of here.

I'm not going anywhere without Ingey.
R, get started on that lock.

[R-D beeps]

The patrol droid is due to make his round
of this catwalk any minute.

We'll be outta here.
Can you fly a spaceship?

I-- I think so. I could try.

[coughs]

Oh, dear. My vocal transducers
are becoming scarred.

[jugadoo roars]

Oh, no! A real spotted jugadoo!

-[jugadoo roars]
-Put me down! [screams]

You're wasting your affections on me!
I'm not a real jugadoo, you are!

-[jugadoo roars]
-[C-PO screams]

It's coming this way.

Plan three. Drop the net! [grunts]

[screams, grunts]

[screams, grunts]

Give me that.

[yelps]

Oh, dear.

[groans]

Hey, you're not a spotted jugadoo.

-I'm not, but that is.
-[jugadoo roaring]

[Stroon whimpering]

[Ingey squeals]

-My name's Greej. Thanks.
-Pleased to meet you. I'm Coby.

Look out! The patrol droid.

[droid chatters]

I'll hold off the patrol droid.
Run, Greej!

Look out! He's gonna fire.

-Greej!
-[grunts]

-Coby, save yourself! [grunts]
-[droid chatters]

R, fire the flare.

Signal the others like we planned.

[R-D beeps]

[Fuzzum speaks alien language]

[Fuzzums shouting]

[droid grunts, crashes]

[grunts]

Run, Coby!

-No! Let him go!
-[R-D beeps]

-[droid chatters]
-[Coby grunts]

[Greej grunts]

-No!
-[R-D shrieks]

[R-D whistles]

[R-D beeps, whistles]

[gasps]

[whimpering]

The laser. Good work, Ingey.

[grunts]

It's too heavy.

[grunts]

[Greej grunts]

[droid chatters]

[grunts] Whew.

[droid screams, crashes]

[Fuzzums cheering]

Greej! Greej!

You okay?

[groans] Yeah. Thanks to you,
I-- I'm still in one piece.

[grunts]

But that's more than I can say
for your friend there.

R!

[Ingey whimpering]

R!

R, speak to me.

He's shut down.

I think I could fix him.

[jugadoo roars]

-What?
-Oh, no. I forgot.

Poor PO.

We'll be back, R.

Hey, wait for me! We may need this.

-[C-PO] Save me!
-[Stroon screams]

[jugadoo roars]

[Slarm screams]

By the way, what's a PO?

[screams]

That's a PO.

Ah! Prince Coby. Oh! Oh, thank the Maker.

Nothing in protocol programming
prepared me for this.

PO, meet my friend Greej.

-Greej, PO.
-Oh, uh, very pleased to meet you, sir.

Prince Coby, what our tribal friends
failed to relate,

is that the woods are teeming with--

-[jugadoo roaring]
-[screams]

Spotted jugadoos!

Help! Save me!

-Oh, not again! Please!
-[jugadoo growls]

This could never work out between us.

[Fuzzums laugh]

PO! You caught the starhunters.

Okay, Stroon, the game's up.

I hope you and your wildlife rustlers
enjoy all the comforts

-of your homemade little prison, while--
-[Slarm groans]

[Greej screams]

-[Slarm grunts]
-[Fuzzums scream]

-[Coby] Whoa!
-[Slarm groans]

-[Fuzzums scream]
-[Greej grunts]

Stay back.

[Fuzzum growling]

Get the ship. We're clearing out.

Don't try to stop us.
I have the only w*apon.

-[whimpers]
-[Jann] Had.

Into your cages, starhunters.

Jann! How did you find us?

I heard your SOS, Coby.

You should've seen it, Jann.

We went into hyperspace.

Then these giant droids came after us,
and PO was a jugadoo.

-Oh, my.
-[jugadoo growls]

[Fuzzums cheering, laughing]

They sure look happy.

You certainly know
a lot about animals, Greej.

Well, I used to run what you might call
a traveling animal sanctuary,

until Stroon and his g*ng took it over.

One day, I plan to return all the animals
to their natural planetary habitats.

Why don't you do that now, Greej?

Well, for the same reason
I didn't do it before: no money.

I've got the money, Greej.
My great uncle's inheritance.

I'll give it to you.

That's very commendable, Coby.

What do you say, Greej?

Well, I still couldn't do it alone.

I'd need a partner that could handle
a lot of responsibility.

I could handle it.

Do you think Father would approve?

I'm sure Lord Toda would be very pleased.

[R-D buzzing, beeping]

Good as new, R.

Well, Coby, you found your future,
and I found mine.

I've been accepted into the Academy.

-That's great, Jann.
-Congratulations, sir.

Oh, but, sir, as I understand it,
droids are not--

Not allowed at the Academy.

-I know, PO.
-[R-D beeps]

I wish it were otherwise.

R and I certainly don't, Master Jann.

You've always wanted to go
to the Academy. And now, you shall.

-[R-D beeps]
-We're both very pleased for you,

and would also like to add,
that it has been an honor serving you.

[R-D whistles]

Once we were droids and master, PO, R.

We're friends now and forever.

Until we meet again. I'll miss you both.

-[C-PO] As we will you, sir.
-[R-D beeps]

Goodbye.

-And good luck.
-[R-D beeps]

Well, at least you've revived,
thank goodness.

I really don't know how
I would have managed alone.

-Especially now.
-[Fuzzums cheering]

No place to go, no master.

[R-D whistles]

Don't worry, R.
We'll take care of each other.

[R-D whistles]

Yes, we'll be all right
as long as there's the two of us.

[R-D beeps]

What-- Whatever do you mean,
the three of us?

Oh, no! Oh, not again! R!

-R-D, do something!
-[jugadoo roars]

-[R-D beeps]
-[C-PO grunts]
