So was I, if You Remember.

I chose this face and form especially for you. It's from your past. 

Or possibly Your Future -- I always get those two mixed up. 

Luke Skywalker: 

Look, I'm sure it's delicious. 

I just don't understand why we can't see Yoda now!

Yoda: 

[cheerfully] 

Patience! For The Jedi it is time to eat as well! Eat. 

[Laughs] 

Eat. Hot. 

Good food, hmm? Good, hmm?

Luke Skywalker: 

How far away is Yoda? 

Will it take us long to get there?

Yoda: 

Not far. Yoda not far. Patience. 

Soon you will be with him. 

Root leaf, I cook. 

Why wish you become Jedi?

Luke Skywalker: 

Well, mostly because 

of My Father, I guess.

Yoda: 

Oh, Father! Powerful Jedi was he. 

Powerful Jedi.

Luke Skywalker: 

Oh, come on! How could you know My Father? 

You don't even know Who I am. 

Oh, I don't even know what I'm doing here! 

We're wasting our time!

Yoda: 

[sighs, looks upward] 

I cannot teach him -- 

The Boy has no patience.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: 

[voice emanates from nowhere] 

He will learn patience.

Yoda: 

Much anger in him --

like His Father.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: 

Was I any different when you taught me?

Yoda: 

He is not ready!

Luke Skywalker: 

Yoda..? I am ready! I— 

Ben, I can be a Jedi! Ben tell him I'm rea— 

[bangs his head on the low ceiling] 

Ow!

Yoda: 

[to Luke] 

Ready are you? What know you of ready? 

For 800 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. 

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 

[pokes Luke]. 

Hmm? What He was Doing. 

[paces around] 

Adventure. Heh! Excitement. 

A Jedi craves not these things. 

[turns to Luke and points with his walking stick] 

You are reckless!

Obi-Wan Kenobi: 

So was I, if you remember.

Yoda: 

[still looking at Luke] 

He is too old. Yes. 

Too old to begin the training.

Luke Skywalker: 

But I've learned so much.

Yoda: 

[looking toward the sky] 

Will he finish what he begins?

Luke Skywalker: 

I won't fail you..! 

I'm not afraid.

Yoda: 

[grimly] 

Oh! You WILL be.... 

You, will be....
