LUKE: Look, I’m sure it’s delicious. I just don’t understand why we can’t see Yoda now.
CREATURE: Patience! For the Jedi it is time to eat as well. Eat, eat. Hot. Good food, hm? Good, hmm?
LUKE: How far away is Yoda? Will it take us long to get there?
CREATURE: Not far. Yoda not far. Patience. Soon you will be with him. (tasting food from the pot) Rootleaf, I cook. Why wish you become Jedi? Hm?
LUKE: Mostly because of my father, I guess.
CREATURE: Ah, your father. Powerful Jedi was he, powerful Jedi, mmm.
LUKE: (a little angry) Oh, come on. How could you know my father? You don’t even know who I am. (fed up) Oh, I don’t even know what I’m doing here. We’re wasting our time.
CREATURE: (irritated) I cannot teach him. The boy has no patience.
BEN’S VOICE: He will learn patience.
YODA: Hmmm. Much anger in him, like his father.
BEN’S VOICE: Was I any different when you taught me?
YODA: Hah. He is not ready.
LUKE: Yoda! I am ready. I…Ben! I can be a Jedi. Ben, tell him I’m ready!
YODA: Ready, are you? What know you of ready? For eight hundred years have I trained Jedi. My own counsel will I keep on who is to be trained! A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind. (to the invisible Ben, indicating Luke) This one a long time have I watched. All his life has he looked away! To the future! To the horizon! Never his mind on where he was. Hmm? What he was doing. Hmph. Adventure. Heh! Excitement. Heh! A Jedi craves not these things. (turning to Luke) You are reckless!
BEN’S VOICE: So was I, if you’ll remember.
YODA: He is too old. Yes, too old to begin the training.
LUKE: But I’ve learned so much.
YODA: (sighs) Will he finished what he begins?
LUKE: I won’t fail you — I’m not afraid.
YODA: (turns slowly toward him) Oh, you will be. You will be.
