[ Cobb's voice comes off camera because the image in the video is a speeder. He has yet to wash the Agrii symbol off it. The pink clashes with the yellow a little bit. It's parked outside the hangar, engine off so it's not spinning. Just hovering a few inches off the ground like speeder do. ]

Well. It seems the Agrii left me a gift. This beauty is mine from back home. Gonna clean that graffitti off. I built her myself. She's a modified 620C podracing engine I found in a junkyard in Mos Espa years ago and she's served me well. Don't know why she's here but I don't really care.

[ Finally, he turns the camera back to himself. Cobb's a little beat up. His face has healing bruises and cuts. Something happened but it hasn't dampened his joy any. ]

Those of you who wanted to build your own speeder, I'll let you take a look at mine. I can tell you how I built her. Not sure how technical I can get but I'll do my best.

Those of you who might need to get somewhere fast and far, riding with two is not comfortable but I've done it before. Might be possible to take folks around town. Don't think I can get her to the new town but maybe. Gotta be careful with fuel around here, you know. Might be worth trying.

If you hear me riding around later today, don't worry about it. Just stretching her legs.

That depends on how you drive it. Get it going really fast and it's very exciting.

[ There's a fondness in his voice, a heavy fondness, when he talks about driving. ]

I won't be pushing her here since there's no fuel. Gotta be careful about that.

[noch]

I would like to try it someday. To see if it is more exciting that teleporting.

[heypartner]

Once I've got a reliable source of fuel I'll teach you how to drive it.

[noch]

[ She meant "someday" as kind of nebulous, whether that was here or back in their own galaxy or... wherever, really. So the prospect of learning how to drive it makes her perk up. ]

You will? Is it difficult?

[heypartner]

Mine's not a standard speeder so it's a little trickier. But you're a smart girl. You'll manage.

[noch]

Not a standard speeder? Because you built it yourself?

[heypartner]

Most speeders don't have pod racer engines as their power source.

[noch]

[ Like she knows? What that is? ]

I suppose a pod racer engine is more powerful.

[heypartner]

Yeah, a bit more powerful.

[ He smiles and shakes his head. ]

I'll teach you all about it. Don't worry about the details right now.
