[Obi-Wan is hanging over the pit, with Darth Maul standing above him. Obi-Wan glares up at Maul]
MAUL: I have you now, Jedi!
[Obi-Wan doesn't reply. Maul frowns]
MAUL: Aren't you going to drop?
OBI-WAN: No.
MAUL: Are you certain?
OBI-WAN: Absolutely.
MAUL: Well, you know, I can't reach you down there.
OBI-WAN: I know. That's why I'm doing it.
MAUL: How am I supposed to kill you, then?
OBI-WAN: Well, you can't. So I'm just going to hang here and not do anything.
MAUL: Well, that's a bit inconsiderate.
[Maul starts to wander around the pit, then turns to look down]
MAUL: Suppose you came up to fight me?
OBI-WAN: You must be joking.
MAUL: No, really!
OBI-WAN: Look, I can't fight you at all! You just kicked my lightsaber off the edge, and it was the only one I had.
MAUL: (crestfallen) That's true. (brightened) I suppose I could break mine in half and give you one?
OBI-WAN: (interested) What?
MAUL: Yes, it comes right apart.
[Maul snaps his lightsaber in half into two lightsabers]
MAUL: (unhappy) Oh, but you ruined one half.
OBI-WAN: Well, then I'll have to keep dangling here and you can't kill me yet. I don't suppose you could just go away and let me go?
MAUL: Oh, no. My master would be displeased. How's yours?
OBI-WAN: You just stabbed him.
MAUL: Oh, I forgot.
OBI-WAN: Look, I can't fight you.
MAUL: How about if we fight, but not with lightsabers? You could come up and we could arm-wrestle.
OBI-WAN: If I climbed up there you'd stab me first.
MAUL: No I wouldn't.
OBI-WAN: You're a Sith. You don't have honor.
MAUL: (indignant) I do so! I've never cheated in checkers in my life.
OBI-WAN: (quizzical) How do I know you're not lying?
MAUL: You'll have to take my word for it.
OBI-WAN: You're a Sith.
MAUL: Ohhhh... I guess you're right. Hmm...
[Maul appears to be thinking]
MAUL: Where were we?
OBI-WAN: I think you had just said, "I have you now, Jedi!"
MAUL: Oh, thank you! (ignites his lightsaber) I have you now, Jedi!
