But I was going into Tosche Station to pick up some power converters!

Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope quotes
Page 1 of 8It's not impossible. I used to shoot womprats with my T16 back home. They were no bigger than two meters.
I want to come with you to Alderaan. There's nothing for me here now. I want to learn the ways of the Force and become a Jedi like my father.
Evacuate? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances. [just before the Death Star is blown up]
Intercom
[Han, Luke and Chewbacca have just decimated the Imperial troops in the detention block.]
What's going on down there? Come in!
Uh, everything is under control. Situation normal.
Intercom
What happened?
[flustered]
Uh, 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?
Intercom
We're sending a squad up.
Uh, uh, negative, negative. We had a reactor leak here now. Give us a few minutes to lock it down. Large leak... very dangerous.
Intercom
Who is this?? What's your operating number?
Uh... [shoots the intercom] Boring conversation anyway. Luke, we're gonna have company!
If there's a bright center of the universe, you're on the planet that it's farthest from.
I'm Luke Skywalker. I'm here to rescue you!
Red Five standing by.
[smirking]
Darth Vader. Only you could be so bold. The Imperial Senate will not stand for this. When they hear you've attacked a diplomatic--
Don't act so surprised, Your Highness. You weren't on any mercy mission this time. Several transmissions were beamed to this ship by Rebel spies. I want to know what happened to the plans they sent you.
I don't know what you're talking about. I am a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan--
You are a part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor! [to the Stormtroopers] Take her away!
Imperial Officer
[Leia is taken away] [to Vader]
Holding her is dangerous. If word of this gets out, it could generate sympathy for the rebellion in the Senate.
I have traced the Rebel spies to her. Now she is my only link to finding their secret base.
Imperial Officer
She'll die before she'll tell you anything.
Leave that to me.
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.
You needn't worry about your reward. If money is all that you love, then that's what you'll receive! [to Luke] Your friend is quite a mercenary. I wonder if he really cares about anything... or anybody. [leaves]
I care. [sits down next to Han] So, what do you think of her, Han?
I'm trying not to, kid.
Good.
Still, she's got a lot of spirit. I don't know, what do you think? You think a princess and a guy like me--
No.
I have a very bad feeling about this.
You worry about those fighters, I'll worry about the tower!
You must do what you feel is right, of course.
May the Force be with you.

[to Leia]
Charming to the last. You don't know how hard I found it, signalling the order to terminate your life.
