    Greedo
    Going somewhere, Solo?
    Han Solo
    Yes, Greedo. As a matter of fact, I was just going to see your boss. Tell Jabba that 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 that 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 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. 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 had 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 killing you for a long time.
    Han Solo
    Yes, I'll bet you have.

    Dialog transcript
    Chewbacca and the two droids sit around the dejarik table, Chewbacca seems very pleased with himself as he rests his lanky fur-covered arms over his head.
    C-3PO
    Now be careful, Artoo.
    Artoo immediately reaches up and taps the computer with his manipulator, causing one of the holographic creatures to walk to the new square. A sudden frown crosses Chewbacca's face and he begins yelling in Shyriiwook at R2. Threepio intercedes on behalf of his small companion and begins to argue with the huge Wookiee.
    C-3PO
    He made a fair move. Screaming about it won'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 socket when they lose. Wookiees are known to do that.
    C-3PO
    I see your point, sir. I suggest a new strategy, Artoo. Let the Wookiee win.

    Dialog transcript
    Luke stands in the middle of the small hold area, he seems frozen in place. A humming lightsaber is held high over his head. Ben watches him from the corner, studying his movements. Han watches with a bit of smugness.
    Obi-Wan Kenobi
    Remember, a Jedi can feel the Force flowing through him.
    Luke Skywalker
    You mean it controls your actions?
    Obi-Wan Kenobi
    Partially. But it also obeys your commands.
    Suspended at eye level, about ten feet in front of Luke, a seeker remote hovers slowly in a wide arc. The remote floats to one side of the youth then the other. Suddenly it makes a lightning-swift lunge and stops within a few feet of Luke's face. Luke doesn't move and the ball backs off. It slowly moves behind the boy, then makes another quick lunge, this time emitting laser beam as it attacks. It hits Luke in the leg causing him to tumble over. Han lets loose with a burst of laughter.
    Han Solo
    Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.
    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. I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen anything to make me believe there's one all-powerful force controlling everything. There's no mystical energy field that controls my destiny.
    Ben smiles quietly.
    Han Solo
    It's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense.
    Obi-Wan Kenobi
    I suggest you try it again, Luke.
    Ben places a flight helmet with blast shield down on Luke's head which covers his eyes.
    Obi-Wan Kenobi
    This time, let go your conscious self and act on instinct.
    Luke Skywalker
    With the blast shield down, I can't even see. How am I supposed to fight?
    Obi-Wan Kenobi
    Your eyes can deceive you. Don't trust them.
    Han skeptically shakes his head as Ben throws the seeker into the air. The ball shoots straight up in the air, then drops like a rock. Luke swings the lightsaber around blindly missing the seeker, which fires off a laserbolt which hits Luke square on the seat of the pants. He lets out a painful yell and attempts to hit the seeker.
    Obi-Wan Kenobi
    Stretch out with your feelings.
    Luke stands in one place, seemingly frozen. The seeker makes a dive at Luke and, incredibly, he managed to deflect the bolt. The ball ceases fire and moves back to its original position.
    Obi-Wan Kenobi
    You see, you can do it.
    Han Solo
    I call it luck.
    Obi-Wan Kenobi
    In my experience, there's no such thing as luck.
    Han Solo
    Look, going good against remotes is one thing. Going good against the living? That's something else.
    Solo notices a small light flashing on the far side of the control panel.
    Han Solo
    Looks like we're coming up on Alderaan.
    Han and Chewbacca head back to the cockpit.

    Han Solo
    I saw them! I saw them!
    Leia Organa Solo
    Saw what?
    Han Solo
    Star Destroyers, two of them, coming right at us.
    Threepio bumps and bangs his way into the cockpit.
    C-3PO
    Sir, sir! Might I suggest...
    Han Solo
    Leia, shut him up or shut him down!
    Chewie, check the deflector shield!
    Chewbacca barks a reply as he readjusts an overhead switch.
    Han Solo
    Oh, great. Well, we can still outmaneuver them.

    Han Solo
    Prepare to make the jump to lightspeed.
    C-3PO
    But, sir!
    Leia Organa Solo
    They're getting closer!
    Han Solo
    Oh yeah? Watch this.
    Expectantly, they look out the cockpit window as stars do not go into hyperspace, but just sit there. Han and Chewie look at each other and are thrown into an acute state of concern.
    Leia Organa Solo
    Watch what?
    Han tries again. Still nothing.
    Han Solo
    I think we're in trouble.
    C-3PO
    If I may say so, sir, I noticed earlier that the hyperdrive motivator has been damaged. It's impossible to go to lightspeed!
    Han Solo
    We're in trouble!

    Han Solo
    Horizontal boosters...!
    Chewbacca
    Awwwr!
    Han Solo
    Alluvial dampers...! Well that's not it.
    Chewbacca
    Awwwr!
    Han Solo
    Bring me the hydrospanners!
    Chewbacca hurries over to the pit and places the tools on the edge.
    Han Solo
    I don't know how we're going to get out of this one.
    Suddenly, a loud thump hits the side of the Falcon, causing it to lurch radically. Chewie barks. The tools fall into the pit on top of Han.
    Han Solo
    Oww! Chewie!
    More turbulence rocks the ship.
    Han Solo
    That was no laser blast! Something hit us.
    Leia Organa Solo
    Han, get up here!
    Han Solo
    Come on, Chewie!
    Han climbs out of the hold like a shot. Both he and Chewie run out of the hold and toward the cockpit.

    Leia Organa Solo
    Asteroids!
    Han Solo
    Oh, no! Chewie, set two-seven-one.
    Leia Organa Solo
    What are you doing? You're not actually going into an asteroid field?
    Han Solo
    They'd be crazy to follow us, wouldn't they?
    Leia Organa Solo
    You don't have to do this to impress me.
    C-3PO
    Sir, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately three thousand, seven hundred and twenty to one.
    Han Solo
    Never tell me the odds!

    Han Solo
    You said you wanted to be around when I made a mistake; well, this could be it, sweetheart.
    Leia Organa Solo
    I take it back. 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
    I'm going in closer to one of those big ones.
    Leia Organa Solo
    Closer?
    C-3PO
    Closer?!

    Awwwr?!

    C-3PO
    Oh, this is suicide!
    Han notices something on his main scope and nudges Chewbacca, pointing.
    Han Solo
    There. That looks pretty good.
    Leia Organa Solo
    What looks pretty good?
    Han Solo
    Yeah. That'll do nicely.
    C-3PO
    Excuse me, ma'am, but where are we going?
    The Millennium Falcon dives into the huge crater and disappears.
    Leia Organa Solo
    I hope you know what you're doing.
    Han Solo
    Yeah, me too.

    Han Solo
    I'm going to shut down everything but the emergency power systems.
    C-3PO
    Sir, I'm almost afraid to ask, but... does that include shutting me down, too?
    Chewbacca
    Raawk (yes)
    Han Solo
    No, I need you to talk to the Falcon, find out what's wrong with the hyperdrive.
    Suddenly, the ship lurches, causing all the loose items in the cockpit to go flying.
    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 the back and plug him into the hyperdrive.
    C-3PO
    Oh! Sometimes I just don't understand human behavior. After all, I'm only trying to do my job in the most...

    Dialog transcript
    Suddenly, the ship lurches again, throwing Leia across the cabin into Han's arms. Then, abruptly, the motion stops as suddenly as it started. With some surprise, Han and Leia realize they are in each other's arms.
    Leia Organa Solo
    Let go.
    Han Solo
    Sshh!
    Leia Organa Solo
    Let go, please.
    Han Solo
    Don't get excited.
    Leia Organa Solo
    Captain, being held by you isn't quite enough to get me excited.
    Han Solo
    Sorry, sweetheart. We haven't got time for anything else.

    C-3PO
    Oh, where is Artoo when I need him?
    C-3PO
    Sir, I don't know where your ship learned to communicate, but it has the most peculiar dialect. I believe, sir, it says that the power coupling on the negative axis has been polarized. I'm afraid you'll have to replace it.
    Han Solo
    Well, of course I'll have to replace it.
    Han hands a wire coil up to Chewie who is working near the ceiling.
    Han Solo
    Here! And Chewie...
    Han glances back at Threepio, then speaks quietly to Chewie so only he can hear.
    Han Solo
    ... I think we'd better replace the negative power coupling.

    Hey, Your Worship, I'm only trying to help.
    Leia Organa Solo
    Would you please stop calling me that?
    Han SoloSure, Leia.
    Leia Organa Solo
    Oh, 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.
    Leia Organa Solo
    Occasionally... when you aren't acting like a scoundrel.
    Han Solo
    Scoundrel? Scoundrel? I like the sound of that.
    With that, Han takes her hand and starts to massage it.
    Leia Organa Solo
    Stop that.
    Han Solo
    Stop what?
    Leia Organa Solo
    Stop that! My hands are dirty.
    Han Solo
    My hands are dirty, too. What are you afraid of?
    Leia Organa Solo
    Afraid?
    Han Solo
    You're trembling.
    Leia Organa Solo
    I'm not trembling.
    Han Solo
    You like me because I'm a scoundrel. There aren't enough scoundrels in your life.
    Leia Organa Solo
    I happen to like nice men.
    Han Solo
    I'm a nice man.
    Leia Organa Solo
    No, you're not. You're...
    Han kisses Leia, but suddenly, Threepio appears in the doorway, speaking excitedly.

    There it is. Listen! Listen!
    Han Solo
    I'm going out there.
    Leia Organa Solo
    Are you crazy?!
    Han Solo
    I just got this bucket back together. I'm not going to let something tear it apart.
    Han and Chewie grab their breath masks off a rack and hurry out. Leia follows.
    Leia Organa Solo
    Then I'm going with you.

    I think it might be better if I stay here and guard the ship. Oh, no.

    Go on inside. We'll clean them off if there are any more.

    Han Solo
    All right, Chewie, let's get out of here!
    Leia Organa Solo
    The Empire is still out there. I don't think it's wise to...
    Han Solo
    No time to discuss this in committee.
    Leia Organa Solo
    I am not a committee! You can't make the jump to light-speed in this asteroid field...
    Han Solo
    Sit down, sweetheart. We're taking off!
    C-3PO
    Look!
    Han Solo
    I see it, I see it.
    Suddenly, a row of jagged white stalagmites and stalactites can be seen surrounding the entrance. And as the Falcon moves forward, the entrance to the cave grows ever smaller. Han pulls hard on the throttle, sending his ship surging forward.
    C-3PO
    We're doomed!
    Leia Organa Solo
    The cave is collapsing.
    Han Solo
    This is no cave.

    Han pulls back on the hyperspace throttle and - nothing happens.
    Han Solo
    It's not fair!
    Chewbacca
    Awwwrr!
    Han Solo
    The transfer circuits are working. It's not my fault!
    Leia Organa Solo
    No light-speed?
    Han Solo
    It's not my fault.
    C-3PO
    Sir, we just lost the main rear deflector shield. One more direct hit on the back quarter and we're done for.
    Han Solo
    Turn her around.
    Chewbacca
    Awwrrr?
    Han Solo
    I said turn her around! I'm going to put all power in the front shield.

    Han Solo
    Chewie, the fleet is beginning to break up. Go back and stand by the manual release for the landing claw.
    C-3PO
    I really don't see how that is going to help. Surrender is a perfectly acceptable alternative in extreme circumstances. The Empire may be gracious enough...
    Leia reaches over and shuts off Threepio, mid-sentence.
    Han Solo
    Thank you.
    Leia Organa Solo
    What did you have in mind for your next move?
    Han Solo
    Well, if they follow standard Imperial procedure, they'll dump their garbage before they go to light-speed, then we just float away.
    Leia Organa Solo
    With the rest of the garbage.Then what?
    Han Solo
    Then we've got to find a safe port somewhere around here. Got any ideas?
    Leia Organa Solo
    No. Where are we?
    Han Solo
    The Anoat system.
    Leia Organa Solo
    Anoat system. There's not much there.
    Han Solo
    No. Well, wait. This is interesting. Lando.
    Leia Organa Solo
    Lando system?
    Han Solo
    Lando's not a system, he's a man. Lando Calrissian. He's a card player, gambler, scoundrel. You'd like him.
    Leia Organa Solo
    Thanks.
    Han Solo
    Bespin. It's pretty far, but I think we can make it.
    Leia Organa Solo
    A mining colony?
    Han Solo
    Yeah, a Tibanna gas mine. Lando conned somebody out of it. We go back a long way, Lando and me.
    Leia Organa Solo
    Can you trust him?
    Han Solo
    No. But he has no love for the Empire, I can tell you that.
    Chewbacca
    Arrww!
    Han Solo
    Here we go, Chewie. Stand by. Detach!
