[Fade in: Qui-Gon's head and shoulders take up most of the screen.]

"Greetings, this is Qui-Gon Jinn for Taco Bell(R)."

"If the loud rumblings of your padawan's tummy disturbs you from a peaceful slumber like mine sometimes does..."

[Obi-Wan, calling from off-stage.]

"Master!! You said--"

[Qui-Gon glances off stage and then looks back at the camera again, mostly deadpan....but you might see the slightest twinkle in his eye.]

"As I was saying, if you happen to be roused from your slumber and find it necessary to obtain a little sustenance for your growing apprentice, Taco Bell(R) is there, ready to serve until 2 am in some locations, perhaps even later at others!"

[Camera pulls back from him a little to reveal a galactic Taco Bell(R) and Qui-Gon is pulling up to the drive-thru window in a speeder.

Taco-Bell drive-thru girl (Girl 1): "That'll be $14.75"
Qui-Gon: "Credits will do fine." with a subtle handwave.
Girl 1 looks a little hesitant: "Um, I don't know...."
Qui-Gon: "Credits will do fine." slightly more forceful in his tone.
Girl 1, smiling: "Ok. Credits will be fine."

They exchange funds and food, and Qui-Gon pulls away. The other Taco-Bell girl who was prepping the food comes over to the cashier.

Girl 2: "Those damn Jedi again, hmm? Why do you always fall for that mind trick?"
Girl 1: "I would have given him his food for free if he had called up first with that slow, pensive voice of his....things have been said about that particular one, you know...."

[fade to black, and then the following text centered on the screen in white:]

"Profits made by this commercial go to the Jedi Academy - We Carry the Galaxy on Our Shoulders, So You Don't Have to."

[end]

Enjoy!
