Poe Dameron Quotes in Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015)

Finn: Can you fly a TIE Fighter?

Poe Dameron: I can fly anything.

Poe Dameron: Wha- why? Why are you helping me?

Finn: Because it's the right thing to do.

Poe Dameron: You need a pilot.

Finn: [chagrined] I need a pilot.

Finn: Okay. Stay calm. Stay calm.

Poe Dameron: I am calm.

Finn: I'm talking to myself.

[first lines]

Lor San Tekka: This will begin to make things right. I've traveled too far and seen too much to ignore the despair in the galaxy. Without the Jedi, there can be no balance in the Force.

Poe Dameron: Well, because of you, now we have a chance. The General's been after this for a long time.

Lor San Tekka: Oh, the General? To me, she is royalty.

Poe Dameron: Well, she certainly is that.

Finn: Where are we going?

Poe Dameron: We're going back to Jakku. That's where.

Finn: No, no, no. We can't go back to Jakku. We need to get out of this system.

Poe Dameron: I gotta get my droid before the First Order does.

Finn: What, a droid?

Poe Dameron: That's right. He's a BB unit, orange and white. One of a kind.

Finn: I don't care what color he is! No droid can be that important.

Poe Dameron: This one is, pal!

Finn: We gotta get as far away from the First Order as we can. We go back to Jakku, we die.

Poe Dameron: That droid has a map that leads straight to Luke Skywalker.

Finn: Oh, you gotta be kidding me!

Poe Dameron: What's your name?

Finn: FN-2187.

[pauses]

Finn: That's the only name they ever gave me.

Poe Dameron: Well, I'm not going to call you that. Let's see... FN... I'm going to call you Finn. How about that

Finn: Yeah, Finn. I like that.

Poe Dameron: That's my jacket.

Finn: Oh...

Poe Dameron: No, no, no, no. Keep it. It suits you. You're a good man, Finn.

Kylo Ren: I had no idea we had the best pilot in the Resistance on board. Comfortable?

Poe Dameron: [strapped in an interrogation chair] Not really.

Kylo Ren: I'm impressed. No one has been able to get out of you what you did with the map.

Poe Dameron: You might want to rethink your technique.

Poe Dameron: [escaping with Finn in a TIE fighter] I've always wanted to fly one of these things. Can you shoot?

Finn: Blasters, I can.

Poe Dameron: Okay, same principle. Use the toggle on the left to switch between missiles, cannons, and mag pulse. Use the sight on the right to aim, triggers to fire.

Finn: This is very complicated.

[Poe is captured and brought to Kylo Ren who kneels down and stares]

Poe Dameron: ...Do I talk first or you talk first? I talk first?
