Han Solo Quotes in Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015)

Han Solo: What was your job when you were based here?

Finn: Sanitation.

Han Solo: Sanitation? Then how do you know how to disable the shields?

Finn: I don't. I'm just here to get Rey.

Han Solo: People are counting on us. The galaxy is counting on us.

Finn: Solo, we'll figure it out. We'll use the Force.

Han Solo: That's not how the Force works!

Chewbacca: [growls]

Han Solo: Oh, really? You're cold?

Han Solo: [stepping on board the Millennium Falcon] Chewie... we're home.

Rey: This is the ship that made the Kessel Run in fourteen parsecs?

Han Solo: Twelve!

[mutters to himself in disgust]

Han Solo: Fourteen.

Finn: [asking about Phasma] What should we do with her?

Han Solo: Is there a garbage chute... or trash compactor?

Maz Kanata: Han Solo!

[all music and conversations stop]

Han Solo: [softly] Oh, boy.

[louder]

Han Solo: Hey, Maz.

[music and conversations start up again]

Maz Kanata: Where's my boyfriend?

Han Solo: Chewie's working on the Falcon.

Maz Kanata: I like that Wookiee.

Han Solo: This map's not complete. It's just a piece. Ever since Luke disappeared, people have been looking for him.

Rey: Why did he leave?

Han Solo: He was training a new generation of Jedi. One boy, an apprentice, turned against him, destroyed it all. Luke felt responsible. He just walked away from everything.

Finn: Do you know what happened to him?

Han Solo: A lot of rumors. Stories. People that knew him best think he went looking for the first Jedi temple.

Rey: The Jedi were real?

Han Solo: I used to wonder about that myself. Thought it was a bunch of mumbo-jumbo. A magical power holding together good and evil, the dark side and the light. Crazy thing is... it's true. The Force. The Jedi... All of it... It's all true.

Finn: Hey, Solo, I'm not sure what we're walking into here...

Han Solo: Did you just call me Solo?

Finn: Sorry. Han. Mr. Solo. I'm a big deal in the Resistance. Which puts a real target on my back. Are there any conspirators here? Like, First Order sympathizers?

Han Solo: Listen, Big Deal. You got another problem. Women always figure out the truth. Always.

Han Solo: Okay. How do we blow it up? There's always a way to do that.

Rey: Are you offering me a job?

Han Solo: I wouldn't be nice to you. Doesn't pay much.

Rey: You're offering me a job.

Han Solo: I'm thinking about it.

Han Solo: I've got a bad feeling about this.

Leia: You know, no matter how much we fought... I've always hated watching you leave.

Han Solo: That's why I did it. So you'd miss me.

Leia: I did miss you.

Finn: [while holding Phasma at gunpoint] You remember me?

Captain Phasma: FN-2187.

Finn: Not anymore. The name's Finn and I'm in charge. I'm in charge now, Phasma. I'm in charge.

Han Solo: [to Finn] Bring it down. Bring it down.

Han Solo: Who had it? Ducain?

Rey: I stole it. From Unkar Plutt. He stole it from the Irving Boys, who stole it from Ducain.

Han Solo: Who stole it from me! Well, you tell him that Han Solo just stole back the Millennium Falcon for good.

Rey: This is the Millennium Falcon? You're Han Solo?

Han Solo: I used to be.

Finn: We came back for you.

[Chewie says something]

Finn: What'd he say?

Rey: That it was your idea.

[Rey hugs Finn]

Rey: Thank you.

Finn: How did you get away?

Rey: I can't explain it. And you wouldn't believe it.

Han Solo: Escape now, hug later.

Han Solo: You hurt Chewie, you're gonna deal with me!

Finn: Hurt him? He almost killed me six times!

[Chewbacca grabs his throat]

Finn: [in a weak voice] Which is fine!

Rey: What are you gonna do?

Han Solo: Same thing I always do. Talk my way out of it.

[Chewie growls a comment]

Han Solo: Yes, I do. Every time.

Han Solo: You changed your hair.

Leia: Same jacket.

Han Solo: No, new jacket.

Finn: [Referring to Chewbacca after Rey responds to his growl] You can understand that thing?

Han Solo: And "that thing" can understand you, too, so watch it.

Han Solo: Hey, can I try that?

[fires Chewbacca's bowcaster]

Han Solo: I like this thing.

Han Solo: You might need this.

[passes a blaster to Rey]

Rey: I think I can handle myself.

Han Solo: I know you do. That's why I'm giving it to you. Take it. You know how to use one of those?

Rey: Yeah. You pull the trigger.

Han Solo: Little bit more to it than that. You got a lot to learn.

Leia: Can't believe I was so foolish to think I could find Luke and bring him home.

Han Solo: Leia.

Leia: Don't do that.

Han Solo: Do what?

Leia: Anything.

[Leia walks off]

C-3PO: Princesses.

Han Solo: I'm trying to be helpful.

Leia: When did that ever help? And don't say the Death Star.

Han Solo: Hey! Some moof-milker put a compressor on the ignition line.

Rey: Unkar Plutt did. I thought it was a mistake, too. Puts too much...

Han Solo, Rey: ...stress on the hyperdrive.

Han Solo: [to BB-8] Move, ball.

Rey: We need your help.

Han Solo: My help?

Rey: This droid has to get to the Resistance base as soon as possible.

Finn: He's carrying a map to Luke Skywalker.

[Han stops walking in surprise]

Finn: You are the Han Solo that fought with the Rebellion.

[Han slowly turns to face Finn]

Finn: You know him.

Han Solo: Yeah. I knew him. I knew Luke.

Han Solo: Where'd you get this ship?

Rey: Niima Outpost.

Han Solo: Jakku? That junkyard?

Finn: Thank you! Junkyard.

Han Solo: [to Chewbacca] Told you we should have double-checked the Western Reaches.

Captain Phasma: You can't be so stupid as to think this will be easy. My troops will storm this block and kill you all.

Finn: I disagree. What do we do with her?

Han Solo: Is there a garbage chute? Trash compactor?

Finn: Yeah, there is.

Han Solo: Watch the thrust. We're going out of here at lightspeed.

Rey: From inside the hangar? Is that even possible?

Han Solo: I never ask that question 'till after I've done it.

[a rathnar attacks the Millennium Falcon's cockpit, it's huge mouth covering the windshield]

Han Solo: This is *not* how I thought this day was going to go.

Han Solo: You think it was luck that Chewie and I found the Falcon? If we can find it on our scanners, the First Order's not far behind. Wanna get BB-8 to the Resistance? Maz Kanata's our best bet.

Finn: We can trust her, right?

Han Solo: Relax, kid. She's run this watering hole for a thousand years. Maz is a bit of an acquired taste, so let me do the talking. And whatever you do, don't stare.

Rey, Finn: At what?

Han Solo: Any of it.

Finn: I can disable the shields, but I have to be there. On the planet.

Han Solo: [looking at Chewie] We'll get you there.

Leia: Han, how?

Han Solo: If I told you, you wouldn't like it.

Han Solo: Listen to me, will you? I know every time you... Every time you look at me you're reminded of him.

Leia: You think I want to forget him? I want him back.

Han Solo: There's nothing more we could have done. There's too much Vader in him.

Leia: That's why I wanted him to train with Luke. I just never should have sent him away. That's when I lost him. That's when I lost you both.

Han Solo: We both had to deal with it in our own way. I went back to the only thing I was ever any good at.

Leia: We both did.

Han Solo: We lost our son. Forever.

Leia: No. It was Snoke. He seduced our son to the dark side. But we can still save him. Me. You.

Han Solo: If Luke couldn't reach him, how could I?

Leia: Luke is a Jedi. You're his father. There is still light in him, I know it.

Han Solo: Oh, don't tell me a Rathtar's gotten loose.

Finn: Wait, what? Did you just say Rathtars? Hey! You're not hauling Rathtars on this freighter, are you?

Han Solo: I'm hauling Rathtars. Oh, great. It's the Guavian Death Gang. Must have tracked us from Nantoon.

Rey: What's a Rathtar?

Han Solo: They're big and they're dangerous.

Finn: You ever heard of the Trillia Massacre?

Rey: No.

Finn: Good.

Finn: [flying to Starkiller Base] How are we getting in?

Han Solo: Their shields have a fractional refresh rate. Keeps anything traveling slower than lightspeed from getting through.

Finn: We're making our landing approach at lightspeed?

Bala-Tik: Kanjiklub wants their investment back too.

Han Solo: I never made a deal with Kanjuklub!

Bala-Tik: Tell that to Kanjiklub.

[Kanjiklub' gang enters the other end of the corridor lead by Leech]

Han Solo: Tasu Leech. Good to see you.

Tasu Leech: [translated from an alien dialect] Wrong again, Solo. It's over for you.

Han Solo: Boys, you're both gonna get what I promised. Have I ever not delivered for you before?

Bala-Tik: Yeah.

Tasu Leech: Twice!

[looks confused at Chewie who nods]

Han Solo: What was the second time?

Han Solo: Finn, be careful with those. They're explosives.

Finn: Now you tell me?

Han Solo: [Rey rushes by him into the Falcon's cockpit] Hey, where are you going?

Rey: Unkar Plutt installed a fuel pump, too. If we don't prime that, we're not going anywhere.

Han Solo: I hate that guy.

Han Solo: Ben!

Kylo Ren: Han Solo. I've been waiting for this day for a long time.

Han Solo: Take off that mask. You don't need it.

Kylo Ren: What do you think you'll see if I do?

Han Solo: The face of my son.

Kylo Ren: Your son is gone. He was weak and foolish like his father, so I destroyed him.

Han Solo: That's what Snoke wants you to believe, but it's not true. My son is alive.

Kylo Ren: No. The Supreme Leader is wise.

Han Solo: Snoke is using you for your power. When he gets what he wants, he'll crush you. You know it's true.

Kylo Ren: It's too late.

Han Solo: No, it's not. Leave here with me. Come home. We miss you.

Kylo Ren: I'm being torn apart. I want to be free of this pain. I know what I have to do but I don't know if I have the strength to do it. Will you help me?

Han Solo: Yes. Anything.

Han Solo: [walks up to Kylo Ren] BEN!

Kylo Ren: [Stops and turns around] Han Solo

[Han answers the intercom after comandeering an attack station]

Han Solo: [sounding official] Uh, everything's under control. Situation normal.

Voice: What happened?

Han Solo: [getting nervous] Uh, we had a slight weapons malfunction, but uh... everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here now, thank you. How are you?

Voice: We're sending a squad up.

Han Solo: Uh, uh... negative, negative. We had a reactor leak here now. Give us a few minutes to lock it down. Large leak, very dangerous.

Voice: Who is this? What's your operating number?

Han Solo: Uh...

[Han shoots the intercom]

Han Solo: [muttering] Boring conversation anyway. LUKE, WE'RE GONNA HAVE COMPANY!

Han Solo: Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.

Luke Skywalker: She's rich.

Han Solo: [interested] Rich?

Luke Skywalker: Rich, powerful. Listen, if you were to rescue her, the reward would be...

Han Solo: What?

Luke Skywalker: Well, more wealth than you can imagine!

Han Solo: I don't know, I can imagine quite a bit.

Han Solo: Wonderful girl. Either I'm going to kill her or I'm beginning to like her.

Han Solo: Look, Your Worshipfulness, let's get one thing straight. I take orders from just one person: me.

Princess Leia Organa: It's a wonder you're still alive.

[Pushing past Chewbacca]

Princess Leia Organa: Will someone get this big walking carpet out of my way?

Han Solo: No reward is worth this.

[R2-D2 and Chewbacca are playing the holographic game aboard the Millennium Falcon]

Chewbacca: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrgh!

C-3PO: He made a fair move. Screaming about it can't help you.

Han Solo: Let him have it. It's not wise to upset a Wookiee.

C-3PO: But sir, nobody worries about upsetting a droid.

Han Solo: That's 'cause droids don't pull people's arms out of their sockets when they lose. Wookiees are known to do that.

Chewbacca: Grrf.

C-3PO: I see your point, sir. I suggest a new strategy, R2: let the Wookiee win.

Princess Leia Organa: It's not over yet.

Han Solo: It is for me, sister. Look, I ain't in this for your revolution, and I'm not in it for you, Princess. I expect to be well paid. I'm in it for the money.

Princess Leia Organa: You needn't worry about your reward. If money is all that you love, then that's what you'll receive.

[to Luke]

Princess Leia Organa: Your friend is quite the mercenary. I wonder if he really cares about anything. Or anybody.

[she stalks out]

Luke Skywalker: [calling after her] I care.

[to Han]

Luke Skywalker: So, what do you think of her, Han?

Han Solo: I'm tryin' not to, kid.

Luke Skywalker: Good.

Han Solo: [baiting him] Still, she's got a lot of spirit. I don't know, whaddya think? You think a princess and a guy like me...

Luke Skywalker: [quickly] No.

Han Solo: Han Solo. I'm captain of the Millennium Falcon. Chewie here tells me you're lookin' for passage to the Alderaan system?

Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi: Yes indeed, if it's a fast ship.

Han Solo: Fast ship? You've never heard of the Millennium Falcon?

Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi: Should I have?

Han Solo: It's the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs. I've outrun Imperial starships. Not the local bulk cruisers mind you, I'm talking about the big Corellian ships now. She's fast enough for you old man. What's the cargo?

Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi: Only passengers. Myself, the boy, two droids... and no questions asked.

Han Solo: [chuckles] What is it? Some kind of local trouble?

Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi: Let's just say we'd like to avoid any Imperial entanglements.

Luke Skywalker: You don't believe in the Force, do you?

Han Solo: Kid, I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other, and I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen *anything* to make me believe that there's one all-powerful Force controlling everything. 'Cause no mystical energy field controls *my* destiny. It's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense.

Luke Skywalker: [about Princess Leia] They're gonna execute her! Look, a few minutes ago you said you didn't want to just wait here to be captured. Now all you want to do is stay?

Han Solo: Marching into a detention area is not what I had in mind.

Luke Skywalker: But they're gonna kill her!

Han Solo: Better her than me!

Han Solo: Get in there, you big furry oaf! I don't care what you smell!

Princess Leia Organa: This is some rescue! You came in here, but didn't you have a plan for getting out?

Han Solo: [indicating Luke] He's the brains, sweetheart!

Han Solo: I don't what we're gonna do now. Even if I could take off, I could never get past the tractor beam.

Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi: Leave that to me.

Han Solo: Damn fool, I knew you were going to say that.

Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi: Who's the more foolish? The fool, or the fool who follows him?

Darth Vader: [zeroing in on Luke's fighter] I have you now!

[one of Vader's wing-men explodes]

Darth Vader: What?

Han Solo: YAHOOO!

[the Millenium Falcon appears]

Tie Fighter pilot: Look out!

[Han fires again, the second fighter collides with Vader's, sending him careening away]

Han Solo: You're all clear, kid, now let's *blow* this thing and go home!

[Luke fires, the torpedoes dive down the exhaust port; the Millenium Falcon leads the remaining rebel ships away as the Death Star explodes]

[as the garbage compactor closes in]

Han Solo: One thing's for sure, we're all gonna be a lot thinner.

Han Solo: Great shot, kid, that was one in a million!

[Luke blows up his first TIE fighter]

Luke Skywalker: Got him! I got him!

Han Solo: Great, kid! Don't get cocky.

Greedo: [In Huttese; subtitled] Going somewhere, Solo?

Han Solo: Yes, Greedo. I was just going to see your boss. Tell Jabba I've got his money.

Greedo: It's too late. You should have paid him when you had the chance. Jabba's put a price on your head so large, every bounty hunter in the galaxy will be looking for you. I'm lucky I found you first.

Han Solo: Yeah, but this time I've got the money.

Greedo: If you give it to me, I might forget I found you.

Han Solo: [stealthily going for his blaster] I don't have it with me. Tell Jabba...

Greedo: Jabba's through with you! He has no use for smugglers who drop their shipments at the first sign of an Imperial cruiser.

Han Solo: Even I get boarded sometimes. Do you think I had a choice?

Greedo: You can tell that to Jabba. At best, he may only take your ship.

Han Solo: Over my dead body!

Greedo: That's the idea... I've been looking forward to this for a long time.

Han Solo: Yeah, I'll bet you have.

[Han blasts Greedo, then heads out, tossing the bartender a coin]

Han Solo: Sorry about the mess.

Luke Skywalker: So. You got your reward and you're just leaving, then?

Han Solo: That's right, yeah. Got some old debts I gotta pay off with this stuff. Even if I didn't, you don't think I'd be fool enough to stick around here, do you? Why don't you come with us? You're pretty good in a fight. We could use you.

Luke Skywalker: Come on. Why don't you take a look around. You know what's about to happen, what they're up against. They could use a good pilot like you, you're turning your back on them.

Han Solo: What good is a reward if you ain't around to use it? Besides, attacking that battle station is not my idea of courage. It's more like, suicide.

Luke Skywalker: [angry] Okay. Take care of yourself Han. I guess that's what you're best at isn't it?

Han Solo: [as Luke walks away] Hey, Luke. May the Force be with you.

[to Chewbacca]

Han Solo: What're you looking at? I know what I'm doing.

Han Solo: Well, you can forget your troubles with those Imperial slugs. I told you I'd outrun 'em.

[nobody is listening]

Han Solo: Don't everyone thank me at once.

Han Solo: This is *not* gonna work.

Luke Skywalker: Why didn't you say so before?

Han Solo: I *did* say so before.

[Princess Leia gets her first look at the Millennium Falcon]

Princess Leia Organa: You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought.

Han Solo: Nice! Come on.

[Han, Luke, Leia and Chewie land in the trash compactor]

Han Solo: Garbage chute. Really wonderful idea. What an incredible smell you've discovered! Let's get out of here! Get away from there...

Luke Skywalker: No, wait...!

[Han draws his laser pistol and fires at the hatch. The laser bolt ricochets wildly around the small room. Everyone dives for cover in the garbage as the bolt finally explodes]

Luke Skywalker: Will you forget it? I already tried it. It's magnetically sealed!

Princess Leia Organa: Put that thing away, you're gonna get us all killed!

Han Solo: Absolutely, Your Worship. Look, I had everything under control until you led us down here! Now it's not going to take them long to figure out what happened to us.

Princess Leia Organa: It could be worse.

[Garbage creature growls]

Han Solo: It's worse.

[Luke is practicing lightsaber drills against a remote]

Han Solo: Good against remotes is one thing. Good against the living, that's something else.

Han Solo: Stay sharp. There's two more coming in. They're gonna try and cut us off.

Luke: Why don't you outrun them? I thought you said this thing was fast!

Han Solo: Watch your mouth, kid, or you're gonna find yourself floating home! We'll be safe enough once we make the jump to hyperspace. Besides, I know a few maneuvers. We'll lose 'em.

[the ship shudders as an explosion flashes outside the window]

Han Solo: Here's where the fun begins.

Obi-Wan: How long before you can make the jump to light speed?

Han Solo: It'll take a few moments to get the coordinates from the navi-computer.

[the ship begins to rock violently as lasers hit it]

Luke: Are you kidding? At the rate they're gaining...?

Han Solo: Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops, boy! Without precise calculations we could fly right through a star, or bounce too close to a supernova and that'd end your trip real quick, wouldn't it.

Luke: [notices a flashing light] ... What's that flashing?

Han Solo: [slaps Luke's hand away] We're losing a deflector shield. Go strap yourselves in. I'm going to make the jump to light speed.

[And so they do]

Greedo: [pointing a blaster at Han]

[Huttese]

Greedo: Going somewhere, Solo?

Han Solo: Yes, Greedo. As a matter of fact, I was just going to see your boss.

[taking a seat]

Han Solo: Tell Jabba that I've got his money.

Greedo: Its too late. You should have paid him when you had the chance. Jabba put a price on your head so large, every bounty hunter will be looking for you. I'm lucky I found you first.

Han Solo: Yeah, but this time, I've got the money.

Greedo: If you give it to me, I might forget I found you.

Han Solo: I don't have it WITH me.

[he slowly draws out his blaster while they talk]

Han Solo: Tell Jabba...

Greedo: Jabba's through with you. He has no time for smugglers who drop their shipments at the first sign of an imperial cruiser.

Han Solo: Even I get boarded sometimes. Do you think I have a choice.

Greedo: You can tell that to Jabba. He may only take your ship.

Han Solo: Over my dead body.

Greedo: That's the idea. I've been looking forward to this for a long time.

Han Solo: Yes, I bet you have.

[Han shoots Greedo. Everyone in the Cantina stares at Han and the now dead Greedo who's lying on the table. He gets up]

Han Solo: Sorry about the mess.

[he says to the Bartender as he leaves]

Luke Skywalker: There's something alive in here.

Han Solo: That's your imagination.

Luke Skywalker: Something just moved passed my leg.

[sees a tentacle in the water]

Luke Skywalker: Look! Did you see that?

Han Solo: What?

[the tentacle grabs Luke and drags him into the water]

Luke Skywalker: [on first seeing the Millenium Falcon] What a piece of junk!

Han Solo: She'll make point five past lightspeed. She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself.

Luke Skywalker: Boy, it's lucky you have these compartments.

Han Solo: I use them for smuggling. I never thought I'd be smuggling myself in them. This is ridiculous.

Luke Skywalker: Come on. Why don't you take a look around? You know what's about to happen, what they're up against. They could use a good pilot like you. You're turning your back on them.

Han Solo: What good's a reward if you ain't around to use it? Besides, attacking that battle station ain't my idea of courage. It's more like... suicide.

Luke Skywalker: All right. Well, take care of yourself, Han. I guess that's what you're best at, isn't it?

[starts to storm off]

Han Solo: Hey, Luke... may the Force be with you.

[Luke exits. Chewie growls]

Han Solo: What're you lookin' at? I know what I'm doin'.

Luke Skywalker: You know, between his howling and your blasting everything in sight, it's a wonder the whole station doesn't know we're here.

Han Solo: Bring 'em on, I'd prefer a straight fight to all this sneaking around.

C-3PO: Master Luke, sir. Pardon me for asking, but what should R2 and I do if we're discovered here?

Luke Skywalker: Lock the door.

Han Solo: And hope they don't have blasters.

C-3PO: That isn't very reassuring.

Princess Leia Organa: They let us go. It was the only reason for the ease of our escape.

Han Solo: Easy? You call that easy?

Princess Leia Organa: They're tracking us.

Han Solo: Not this ship, sister.

Princess Leia Organa: [sighs] At least the information in R2 is still intact.

Han Solo: What's so important? What's he carrying?

Princess Leia Organa: The technical readouts of that battle station. I only hope that when the data's analyzed a weakness can be found. It's not over yet.

Han Solo: Jabba, you're a wonderful human being.

Han Solo: Not a bad bit of rescuing, huh? You know, sometimes I amaze even myself.

Princess Leia: That doesn't sound too hard.

Imperial Officer: [seeing Luke and Han disguised as Stormtroopers taking Chewbacca to the prison level] Where are you taking this... thing?

Luke Skywalker: Prisoner transfer. Cell block 1138?

Imperial Officer: I wasn't notified. I'll have to clear it.

[signals another imperial officer to check Chewbacca; Chewbacca breaks out of his binders]

Han Solo: Look out he's loose!

Luke Skywalker: He'll tear us all apart!

Han Solo: I'll get him!

[they shoot out the security cameras and kill the officers]

Han Solo: Where did you dig up that old fossil?

Luke Skywalker: Ben is a great man.

Han Solo: Yeah, great at getting us into trouble.

Princess Leia Organa: Looks like you've managed to cut off our only escape route.

Han Solo: [sarcastically] Maybe you'd like it back in your cell, your highness.

Han Solo: Sure hope the old man got that tractor beam out of commission, or this is gonna be a real short trip. Okay, hit it!

Han Solo: [after Leia blasts a vent] What the hell are you doing?

Princess Leia Organa: Well somebody has to save our skins. Into the garbage, fly-boy!

Han Solo: Can't get out that way.

Princess Leia Organa: Looks like you've managed to cut off our only escape route.

Han Solo: [sarcastic] Maybe you'd like it back in your cell, your Highness.

Han Solo: What kept you?

Princess Leia: We, uh, ran into some old friends.

[Han Solo arrives at Docking Bay 94 and sees a familiar face]

Jabba the Hutt: [in Huttese] Solo! Come out of there, Solo! Solo!

Han Solo: Right here, Jabba.

[Jabba and his henchmen turn around to see Han and Chewbacca]

Han Solo: I've been waiting for you.

Jabba the Hutt: Have you now.

Han Solo: You didn't think I was gonna run, did you?

Jabba the Hutt: Han, my boy, you disappoint me. Why haven't you paid me? And why did you fry poor Greedo?

Han Solo: Look, Jabba, next time you wanna talk to me, come see me yourself. Don't send one of these twerps.

Jabba the Hutt: Han, I can't make exceptions. What if everyone who smuggled for me dropped their cargo at the first sign of an Imperial starship? It's not good for business.

Han Solo: Look, Jabba, even I get boarded sometimes.

[accidentally steps on Jabba's tail, causing Jabba to yelp in pain]

Han Solo: Did you think I had a choice? But I got a nice easy charter now; I'll pay you back, plus a little extra. I just need a little more time.

Jabba the Hutt: Han, my boy, you're the best smuggler I ever hired. So, for an extra twenty percent...

Han Solo: Fifteen, Jabba, and don't push it.

Jabba the Hutt: Okay, fifteen percent. But if you fail me again, I'll put a price on your head so big, you won't be able to go near a civilized system.

Han Solo: Jabba, you're a wonderful human being.

Jabba the Hutt: [orders minions] Come on.

[Jabba's gang leaves with bounty hunter Boba Fett following behind]

[the Millennium Falcon emerges from hyperspace]

Han Solo: What the-? We've come out of hyperspace into a meteor shower, some kind of asteroid collision. It's not on any of the charts!

Luke Skywalker: What's going on?

Han Solo: Our position's correct, except... no Alderaan.

Luke Skywalker: What do you mean? Where is it?

Han Solo: That's what I'm trying to tell you, kid, it ain't there, it's been totally blown away.

Luke Skywalker: *What*? How?

Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi: Destroyed by the Empire.

Han Solo: The entire starfleet couldn't destroy the whole planet. It'd take a thousand ships, with more firepower than I've...

[alarm sounds]

[Han and Chewbacca are reunited]

Han Solo: Chewie? Chewie, is that you?

[Chewie grabs Han and shakes him]

Han Solo: Ch-Chewie! I can't see, pal. What's going on?

[Chewie barks]

Han Solo: Luke? Luke's crazy! He can't even take care of himself, much less rescue anybody.

[Chewie barks again]

Han Solo: A Jedi Knight? Jeez, I'm out of it for a little while, everyone gets delusions of grandeur!

Han Solo: Together again, huh?

Luke: Wouldn't miss it.

Han Solo: How we doin'?

Luke: Same as always.

Han Solo: That bad, huh?

Han Solo: Who are you?

Princess Leia: Someone who loves you.

[last lines]

Han Solo: I'm sure Luke wasn't on that thing when it blew.

Princess Leia: He wasn't. I can feel it.

Han Solo: You love him,

[pause]

Han Solo: don't you?

Princess Leia: Yes.

Han Solo: All right. I understand. Fine. When he comes back, I won't get in the way.

Princess Leia: Oh, Han, it's not like that at all.

[whispering]

Princess Leia: He's my brother.

Han Solo: I think my eyes are getting better. Instead of a big dark blur, I see a big light blur.

Luke: There's nothing to see. I used to live here, you know.

Han Solo: You're going to die here, you know. Convenient.

C-3PO: His high exaltedness, the Great Jabba the Hutt, has decreed that you are to be terminated immediately.

Han Solo: Good, I hate long waits.

C-3PO: You will therefore be taken to the Dune Sea, and cast into the pit of Carkoon, the nesting place of the all-powerful Sarlaac.

Han Solo: Doesn't sound so bad.

C-3PO: In his belly you will find a new definition of pain and suffering as you are slowly digested over a thousand years.

Han Solo: On second thought, let's pass on that, huh?

C-3PO: I do believe they think I am some kind of god.

Han Solo: Well, why don't you use your divine influence and get us out of this?

C-3PO: I beg your pardon General Solo, but that just wouldn't be proper.

Han Solo: Proper?

C-3PO: It's against my programming to impersonate a deity.

Luke: Vader's on that ship.

Han Solo: Now don't get jittery, Luke. There are a lot of command ships. Keep your distance, though, Chewie, but don't *look* like you're trying to keeping your distance.

[Chewie barks a question]

Han Solo: *I* don't know. Fly casual.

Han Solo: Boba Fett? Boba Fett? Where?

[Han turns around and knocks Boba into the Sarlaac pit]

Han Solo: [as Lando is being dragged down by Sarlaac] Chewie, give me the gun! Don't move, Lando!

Lando Calrissian: No, wait! I thought you were blind!

Han Solo: It's alright, I can see a lot better! Don't move!

Lando Calrissian: Up a little higher! Just a little higher!

Stormtrooper: Don't move!

[Han glances nervously at Leia... who subtly reveals the blaster hidden at her side]

Han Solo: I love you.

Princess Leia: [smiles] I know.

Han Solo: [flying across the deserts of Tatooine] I think my eyes are getting better. Instead of a big dark blur, I see a big bright blur.

Luke: There's nothing to see. I used to live here, you know.

Han Solo: You're gonna die here, you know. Convenient.

Han Solo: Chewie and I'll take care of this, you stay here.

Luke: *Quietly*. There may be more of them out there.

Han Solo: Hey, it's me.

[about to be cooked alive by the Ewoks]

Han Solo: I have a really bad feeling about this.

Han Solo: [to Chewie about the Ewoks] Well, short help is better than no help at all.

Princess Leia: I... I can't tell you.

Han Solo: Did you tell Luke? Is that who you could tell?

Luke: I'll meet you back at the fleet.

Princess Leia: Hurry. The Alliance should be assembled by now.

Luke: I will.

Han Solo: Hey, Luke, thanks. Thanks for coming after me. I owe you one.

Princess Leia: It only takes one to sound the alarm.

Han Solo: Then we'll do it real quiet-like.

Han Solo: 3PO. You tell that slimy piece of worm-ridden filth, he'll get no such pleasure from us.

[to Chewbacca]

Han Solo: Right?

C-3PO: He says the scouts are going to show us the quickest way to the shield generator.

Han Solo: Good. How far is it? Ask him.

[3PO turns to ask, Han pulls him back]

Han Solo: We need some fresh supplies too.

[3PO turns again; Han pulls him back again]

Han Solo: Try and get our weapons back.

[and again]

Han Solo: Hurry up, will ya? Haven't got all day!

Han Solo: Well, look at you! A General, huh?

Lando Calrissian: Someone must have told them all about my little maneuver at the Battle of Taanab.

Han Solo: Well, don't look at me, pal. I just said you were a fair pilot. I didn't know they were looking for somebody to lead this crazy attack.

Lando Calrissian: I'm surprised they didn't ask you to do it.

Han Solo: Well, who says they didn't? Only I ain't crazy.

Han Solo: Wait, I know that laugh...

Luke: I'm endangering the mission. I shouldn't have come.

Han Solo: It's your imagination, kid. Come on. Let's keep a little optimism here.

C-3PO: Wonderful. We are now a part of the tribe.

[an Ewok hugs Han]

Han Solo: Just what I always wanted.

Han Solo: [disguised as an Imperial] It's over, Commander. The rebels have been routed and they're fleeing into the woods. We need reinforcements to continue the pursuit.

C-3PO: Your Royal Highness.

Princess Leia: But these are my friends. 3PO, tell them they must be set free.

[C-3PO speaks with the Ewoks, they listen and shake their heads negatively]

Han Solo: Somehow I got the feeling that didn't work very much.

Princess Leia: [deleted scene; Jabba the Hutt's landspeeder has blown up, causing a sandstorm as Luke, Han, Leia, Lando, Chewbacca, C-3PO, and R2-D2 head toward the Millennium Falcon]

[to Han]

Princess Leia: How is it?

Han Solo: I don't know. All I see is blowing sand!

Princess Leia: That's all any of us can see.

Han Solo: I guess I'm getting better then.

[as the rest get on the Millennium Falcon, Luke walks over to Han and Leia]

Luke: I'll see you back at the fleet.

Han Solo: Why don't you leave that crate and come with us? We're faster.

Luke: [shakes head] I have a promise to keep... to an old friend.

[kisses Leia, who gets on board, and starts to leave]

Han Solo: Hey kid!

[walks over to Luke]

Han Solo: Thanks for coming after me.

Luke: Think nothing of it.

Han Solo: I'm thinking... I owe you one.

[shakes Luke's hand, who one again leaves, puts his glove on his new hand, and gets in his X-Wing and takes off]

Luke: [cut to a scene in space where Luke and the Millennium Falcon go separate ways]

[over the comm]

Luke: Meet you back at the fleet.

Princess Leia: Hurry. The Alliance should be assembled by now.

Luke: I will.

Han Solo: [as Chewie tries to fight off the imperials and free Han] No! Stop, Chewie, stop! Chewie! Chewie this won't help me! Hey! Save your strength. There'll be another time. The Princess. You have to take care of her. You hear me? Huh?

[Leia and Han share a passionate kiss before Han is dragged towards the freezing chamber by the imperials]

Princess Leia: I love you.

Han Solo: I know.

Princess Leia: [annoyed] Why, you stuck up... half-witted... scruffy-looking... Nerf-herder!

Han Solo: Who's scruffy-looking?

C-3PO: Sir, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately 3,720 to 1.

Han Solo: Never tell me the odds.

Princess Leia: You're not actually going IN to an asteroid field?

Han Solo: They'd be crazy to follow us, wouldn't they?

Han Solo: Hey, Your Worship, I'm only trying to help.

Princess Leia: Would you please stop calling me that?

Han Solo: Sure, Leia.

Princess Leia: You make it so difficult sometimes.

Han Solo: I do, I really do. You could be a little nicer, though. Come on, admit it. Sometimes you think I'm all right.

Princess Leia: Occasionally, maybe... when you aren't acting like a scoundrel.

Han Solo: Scoundrel? Scoundrel? I like the sound of that.

[Han starts to massage Leia's hand]

Princess Leia: Stop that.

Han Solo: Stop what?

Princess Leia: [timidly] Stop that. My hands are dirty.

Han Solo: My hands are dirty, too. What are you afraid of?

Princess Leia: Afraid?

Han Solo: You're trembling.

Princess Leia: I'm not trembling.

[Han moves in closer]

Han Solo: You like me because I'm a scoundrel. There aren't enough scoundrels in your life.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.

Han Solo: I'm nice men.

Princess Leia: No, you're not. You're...

[they kiss]

[Han has decided to go searching for Luke]

Echo Base Officer: Your Tauntaun will freeze before you reach the first marker!

Han Solo: Then I'll see you in Hell!

Han Solo: [cutting open his dead Tauntaun and shoving Luke inside] This may smell bad, kid, but it'll keep you warm until I get the shelter up... Ugh. And I thought they smelled bad on the *outside*.

Han Solo: Well Princess, it looks like you managed to keep me here a while longer.

Princess Leia: I had nothing to do with it. General Rieekan thinks it's dangerous for anyone to leave the system until they've activated the energy shield.

Han Solo: That's a good story. I think you just can't bear to let a gorgeous guy like me out of your sight.

Princess Leia: I don't know where you get your delusions, laser brain.

[Chewbacca laughs]

Han Solo: Laugh it up, fuzzball.

[a tremor knocks Leia into Solo's arms]

Princess Leia: Let go.

Han Solo: Shh.

Princess Leia: Let go, please.

Han Solo: Don't get excited.

Princess Leia: Captain, being held by you isn't quite enough to get me excited.

Han Solo: Sorry sweetheart. I haven't got time for anything else.

C-3PO: [Interrupting Han and Leia kissing] Sir. Sir, I've isolated the reverse, power flux coupling.

Han Solo: Thank you. Thank you very much.

C-3PO: Oh you're perfectly welcome, sir.

Han Solo: You said you wanted to be around when I made a mistake, well, this could be it, sweetheart.

Princess Leia: I take it back.

Han Solo: Afraid I was gonna leave without giving you a goodbye kiss?

Princess Leia: I'd just as soon kiss a Wookiee.

Han Solo: I can arrange that. You could use a good kiss.

Leia: They're getting closer.

Han Solo: Oh, yeah? Watch this.

[he throws the hyperdrive lever, the engine sputters and dies]

Leia: Watch what?

Han Solo: I think we're in trouble.

C-3PO: If I may say so, sir, I noticed earlier the hyperdrive motivator has been damaged. It's impossible to go to lightspeed!

Han Solo: We're in trouble!

[the Millennium Falcon, under siege, won't start]

Princess Leia: [sarcastic] Would it help if I got out and pushed?

Han Solo: [also sarcastic] It might!

Princess Leia: The cave is collapsing.

Han Solo: This is no cave.

[first lines]

Luke: Echo Three to Echo Seven. Han, old buddy, do you read me?

Han Solo: Loud and clear, kid. What's up?

Luke: Well, I finished my circle. I don't pick up any life readings.

Han Solo: There isn't enough life on this ice cube to fill a space cruiser. Sensors are placed. I'm going back.

Luke: Right. I'll see you shortly. There's a meteorite that hit the ground near here. I want to check it out. It won't take long.

Han Solo: [C-3PO won't stop complaining] Either shut him up or shut him down!

Princess Leia: Han, we need you.

Han Solo: We need?

Princess Leia: Yes.

Han Solo: Well, what about YOU need?

Princess Leia: I need? I don't know what you are talking about.

Han Solo: You probably don't.

Princess Leia: And what precisely am I supposed to know?

Han Solo: Come on you want me to stay because of the way you feel about me.

Princess Leia: Yes, you're great help to us you're a natural leader.

Han Solo: No! That's not it. Come on.

[a rebel worker goes inbetween them]

Han Solo: A-ha! Come on!

Princess Leia: You're imagining things.

Han Solo: Am I? Then why are you following me afraid I was gonna leave without giving you a goodbye kiss?

Princess Leia: I'd just as soon kiss a wookiee.

Han Solo: I could arrange that!

[Han walks away]

Han Solo: You could use a good kiss!

C-3PO: Excuse me sir, but might I inquire as to what's going on?

Han Solo: Why not?

C-3PO: Impossible man.

Lando: I had no choice. They arrived right before you did. I'm sorry.

Han Solo: I'm sorry too.

[in the Asteroid Field]

Princess Leia: We're going to get pulverized if we stay out here much longer.

Han Solo: I'm not going to argue with that.

C-3PO: Pulverized?

Han Solo: How ya feeling kid? You don't look so bad to me. You look strong enough to pull the ears off a gundark.

Luke: Thanks to you.

Han Solo: That's two you owe me junior.

[heading into a cave on a large asteroid]

Princess Leia: I hope you know what you're doing.

Han Solo: Yeah, me too.

Han Solo: No time to discuss this as a committee.

Princess Leia: I am not a committee!

[the asteroid quakes]

C-3PO: Sir, it's quite possible this asteroid is not entirely stable.

Han Solo: Not entirely stable. I'm glad you're here to tell us these things. Chewie! Take the Professor in back and plug him into the hyperdrive!

Han Solo: What's going on... Buddy?

Lando: You're being put into carbon-freeze.

C-3PO: Sir, If I may venture an opinion...

Han Solo: I'm not really interested in your opinion 3PO.

[evacuating the Rebel Hoth base]

Han Solo: [to C-3PO] Hurry up, goldenrod! Or you're gonna be a permanent resident!

Han Solo: [after being tortured] I feel terrible.

Leia: I thought you knew this person.

Chewbacca: [Chewie barks something to Han]

Han Solo: Well, that was a long time ago, I'm sure he's forgotten about that.

Han Solo: Deck officer! Deck officer!

Princess Leia: I love you.

Han Solo: I know.

Han Solo: It's not my fault.

Lando: What are you doing here?

Han Solo: Ah, repairs. I was hoping you could help me out.

Lando: What have you done to my ship?

Han Solo: YOUR ship? Hey, remember you lost her to me, fair and square.

[C-3PO is broken almost beyond repair]

Lando: Having trouble with your droid?

Han Solo: No, no problem. Why?

[trying to fix the hyperdrive]

Han Solo: Horizontal boosters. Alluvial dampers? Ow! That's not it, bring me the Hydrospanner. I don't know how we're going to get out of this one.

[the ship is hit, causing the tool box to fall on Han]

Han Solo: OW! Chewie!

Princess Leia: Would it help if I got out and pushed?

Han Solo: It might!

Han Solo: [when a toolbox falls on his head] OOOOW!

Lando: [walks into a room with Han, Leia, and Chewbacca in it] Sorry, am I interrupting anything?

Princess Leia: Not really.

Lando: [smiles] You look absolutely beautiful. You truly belong here with us among the clouds.

[Han looks jealous]

Princess Leia: [bitterly] Thank you.

Lando: Would you join us for a little refreshment? Everyone's invited, of course.

[looks at the broken C-3PO]

Lando: Having trouble with your droid?

Han Solo: No, no problem. Why?

[he and Leia walk away as Lando glances at 3PO again then follows with Chewie]
