MAS
AMEDDA:: Order! We shall have order...
Things
settle down a little. The Federation box settles next to AMIDALA.
PRINCE BAIL ORGANA moves his box into the arena.
BAIL
ORGANA: Alderaan seconds the motion for a vote of no confidence
in Chancelor Valorum.
MAS
AMEDDA: The motion has been seconded by Bail Organa of Alderaan.
MAS
AMEDDA turns to the confused VALORUM, and whispers
something to him.
BAIL
ORGANA: There must be no delays. The motion is on the floor
and must be voted upon in this session.
LOTT
DOT: The Trade Federation moves the motion be sent to the
procedures committee for study.
The
assembly begins to chant. VALORUM talks to MAS AMEDDA.
ASSEMBLY:
Vote now! Vote now! Vote now!
PALPATINE
stands next to AMIDALA.
PALPATINE:
You see, Your Majesty, the tide is with us... Valorum will be
voted out, I assure you, and they will elect in a new Chancellor,
a strong Chancellor, one who will not let our tragedy continue...
MAS
AMEDDA: The Supreme Chancellor requests a recess. Tomorrow
we will begin the vote.
The
Federation delegation is furious. VALORUM turns to PALPATINE.
VALORUM:
Palpatine, I thought you were my ally...my friend. You have betrayed
me! How could you do this?
