I love this exchange because it shows that Obi-Wan is just as annoyed by Jar Jar as the general fandom–meaning that Qui-Gon and Padme have been polite and patient with the well-meaning but excitable charge who has been a nuisance throughout this roadtrip. Maybe a maxed-out diplomat and a wise warrior monk can casually adapt to a rogue group of misfits, but to the Padawan who is here to Learn and Follow the Rules and Gain Experience? This is the last straw.

To say nothing of the fact that his master made him stay at the ship while he went into the town–and now he’s coming back with another person who is going to demand his attention. Obi-Wan signed up for this internship and has put up with Qui-Gon’s Jinning for years, but now when things finally get super-interesting with armies of droids and battleships and monsters and desperate landings in the heart of gangster space, Qui-Gon just goes and starts devoting time to a frogman and a child. 

The point is, Obi-Wan needs his attention–I mean, is definitely not attached to his mentor.
