just as wise , no doubt , you'll be.

most youth do , where else would one find wisdom ?

your father is wiser than myself by far ; just as my master before me.

dooku of serenno , a very close friend.

i'm afraid i am unaware of where he is. he is often away from the temple on coruscant – or at least , when i am present.

i was unaware there was a ' cool ' test , but thank you , i suppose ? if anyone needs tests , it's the council—

ah , that makes sense. i shouldn't speak ill of them. but they can be shortsighted , narrow-minded.

they just mean simple. they're not very open to new things or new ideas. they're not bad , but they could be better.

good fortune. i and master dooku tried for years.

don't kill anyone— that isn't very jedi-like—

it's bad. not very cool.

" greetings to you. i expect you have , it seems to be becoming a currency of sorts. and your name ? "

very certain.

" then you must be related to dooku of serenno. that is correct ' but qui-gon will do just fine. a pleasure to meet you , titus dooku. "

no , they just don't act ... in a way that they ought.

" i see , very good. i presume you also hail from serenno then , titus ? i do ... did , whichever is more apt. a very close friend , he was my master in the jedi order. "

that isn't what being part of the dark side is—

" then you are a nomad , it seems. most unlike nobles of serenno , or so i am told. —— indeed ? just as the order's members speak highly of he , myself most of all. do you see him often ?

" ah , then also a jedi. who is your master , in that case ? i might ask to pass my regards to him the next time you see him , if it isn't any trouble. the council has a way of sending us in opposite directions. "

starting to think he's the only one who actually gives serious thought to the code ...
