Bucko: Why didn't you tell me? You told me Orville betrayed and murdered my tone.
Obi-Leo: Your father... was seduced by the Dark Side of the Hum. He ceased to be toneful and *became* Darth Humless. When that happened, the good sound that was your tone was destroyed. So what I told you was true... from a certain point of view.
Bucko: A certain point of view?
Obi-Leo: Bucko, you're going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view. Tone was a good friend. When I first knew him, your luthier was already a great twanger. But I was amazed how strongly the Hum was with him. I took it upon myself to train him as a Twangmeister. I thought that I could instruct him just as well as Buck. I was wrong.
Bucko: There is still good in him.
Obi-Leo: He's more machine now than man; twisted and evil and humless.
Bucko: I can't do it, Obi-Leo.
Obi-Leo: You cannot escape your destiny. You must face Darth Humless again.
Bucko: I can't kill my own tone.
Obi-Leo: Then the Emperor Orville has already won. You were our only hope.
Bucko: Keef spoke of another.
Obi-Leo: The other he spoke of is your twin sister.
Bucko: But I *have* no sister.
Obi-Leo: Hmm. To protect you both from the Emperor Orville, you were hidden from your father when you were born. The Emperor Orville knew, as I did, if Darth Humless were to have any offspring, they would be a threat to him. That is the reason why your sister remained safely anonymous.
Bucko: Squier! Squier is my sister.
Obi-Leo: Your insight serves you well. Bury your feelings deep down, Bucko. They do you credit, but they could be made to serve the Emperor Orville.
Mate!!!! That was priceless! And what a great twist at the end - Squier is his sister? I never saw it coming!
