HALLWAY - CHANCELLOR'S QUARTERS - EVENING
Anakin is distressed!
And rightly so. He paces back and forth, his anger andguilt dueling for control of his emotions. The innerturmoil breaks free. With his mechanical right arm hepunches a hallway column, shattering it with his fury.
Palpatine emerges from the shadows, as he always does,rushes over to comfort the troubled Jedi.
Palpatine: Anakin, what's the matter?
Anakin continues pacing madly, the only way to sate theadrenaline still rushing through his system.
Anakin: Something's happened.
Palpatine: What happened. Tell me? (Palpatine cautiously advances toward Anakin.)
Anakin: They will never forgive me for this.
Palpatine: Forgive you for what? Anakin, I can'thelp you if you don't tell me what'swrong.
Anakin slows down his pacing, takes several deep breaths.
Anakin: I've done something terrible, Chancellor. (He leans his back against the wall, slides his body downuntil he's sitting on the floor. Only now does Palpatine approach him. looking at Palpatine.) I killed someone, an innocent man.
Palpatine: I see.
Anakin: They'll never forgive me. I'll beexpelled from the Order!
Palpatine: But you are a Jedi. What is it in selfdefense?
Anakin looks up, his eyes bloodshot and red, shakes hishead, no.
Anakin: No.
Palpatine: Who was it, Anakin?
Anakin: Master Windu.
Palpatine: Oh, dear. Does anyone else know aboutthis?
Anakin: I came here straight away. I didn't knowwhere else to turn.
Palpatine: And you did the right thing. Come withme.
