I suggest you try it again, Luke. This time, let go your conscious self and act on instinct.

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. Leave that to me. Send a distress signal, and inform the Senate that all on board were killed.

She must have hidden the plans in the escape pod. Send a detachment down to retrieve them, and see to it personally, Commander. There'll be no one to stop us this time! Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.

"Besides, attacking that battle station ain't my idea of courage.

Look, I can take you as far as Anchorhead. You can get a transport there to Mos Eisley or wherever you're going. I'm surprised you had the courage to take the responsibility yourself. You are a part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor! Take her away! I can't get involved! I've got work to do! It's not that I like the Empire, I hate it, but there's nothing I can do about it right now.

It's such a long way from here. 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. Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.

But with the blast shield down, I can't even see! How am I supposed to fight? Red Five standing by. I don't know what you're talking about. I am a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan-- I care. So, what do you think of her, Han? Look, I can take you as far as Anchorhead. You can get a transport there to Mos Eisley or wherever you're going.

I need your help, Luke. She needs your help. I'm getting too old for this sort of thing. Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force. Remember, a Jedi can feel the Force flowing through him. You're all clear, kid. Let's blow this thing and go home! You are a part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor! Take her away!
