The hologram of Telemundo sputters and fades away.
AMIDALA : Telemundo?!? (turns to Panaka) What's happening?
CAPT. PANAKA : Check the transmission generators...
BIBBLE : A malfunction?
CAPT. PANAKA : It could be Hugo Chavez jamming us. Your Highness.
BIBBLE : A communications disruption can only mean one thing. Obfuscation.
AMIDALA : Don't jump to conclusions, Governor. Mr. Chavez would not dare go that far.
CAPT. PANAKA : Jimmy Carter and the American socialist left would revoke their friendship franchise, and they'd be finished.
AMIDALA : We must continue to rely on negotiation.
BIBBLE : Negotiation? We've lost all communications!...and where are Pres. Carters Ambassadors? How can we negotiate? We must prepare to defend ourselves.
