Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope quotes

Page 6 of 8

You needn't worry about your reward. If money is all that you love, then that's what you'll receive! Your friend is quite a mercenary. I wonder if he really cares about anything...or anybody.

Commander, tear this ship apart until you have found those plans, and bring me the passengers, I want them alive!

Ben Kenobi

Obi-Wan Kenobi. Obi-Wan. Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time. A long time.

I think my uncle knows him. He said he was dead.

Ben Kenobi
[smiling]

Oh, he's not dead. Well, not yet.

You know him?

Ben Kenobi

Well, of course I know him. He's me. I haven't gone by the name of Obi-Wan since, oh, before you were born.

Well then the droid does belong to you.

Ben

I don't seem to remember ever owning a droid. Very interesting.

Ben Kenobi
[Several Sandpeople yelp in the distance]

We'd best get indoors. The Sandpeople are easily startled, but they'll soon be back, and in greater numbers.

Dr. Evazan
[Luke and Ben sit down at the cantina. Luke is accosted by a hostile alien, accompanied by Dr. Evazan.]

He doesn't like you.

Dr. Evazan

I don't like you either! You just watch yourself! We're wanted men. I have the death sentence on twelve systems.

I'll be careful.

Dr. Evazan

You'll be dead!

Ben Kenobi
[stepping in]

This little one's not worth the effort. Now let me get you something.
[Dr. Evazan attacks Luke; Ben pulls out his lightsaber and cuts off the arm of the first hostile alien.]

Greedo
[Speaking in Rodese]

Going somewhere, Solo?

Yes, Greedo. As a matter of fact, I was just going to see your boss. Tell Jabba that I've got the 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.

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

Greedo

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

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.

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.

Over my dead body!

Greedo

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

Yes, I'll bet you have.
[Note: In the original theatrical release, it was not clear who fired first, but it was strongly implied that Han shot Greedo immediately after his last line. In the 1997 and 2004 re-releases, the scene was refilmed to show Greedo shooting first and Han dodging, then shooting back in self-defense.]

Jabba the Hutt
[Note: This scene only occurs in the 1997 and 2002 re-releases of the film.] [Speaking in Huttese]

Solo! Come on out of there, Solo! Solo!

Right here, Jabba. I've been waitin' for ya.

Jabba

Have you now?

Didn't think I was gonna run, did ya?

Jabba

Han, you disappoint me. Why haven't you paid me, and why did you have to fry poor Greedo?

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

Jabba

Han, Han. If only you hadn't had to dump that shipment of spice. I just can't make exceptions. Where would I be if every pilot who smuggled for me dumped their shipment at the first sign of an Imperial starship? It's not good business.

Look Jabba, even I get boarded sometimes. [steps on Jabba's tail, making him cry out in irritation] You think I had a choice? But I've got a nice, easy charter now and I can pay you back, plus a little extra. I just need a little more time.

Jabba

Han, my boy, you're the best. So, for an extra 20%—

Fifteen, Jabba. Don't push it.

Jabba

Okay, fifteen. But if you disappoint me again, I'll put a price on your head so big, you won't be able to go near a civilized system!

[dryly]

Jabba, you're a wonderful human being.

[Luke sees the Millennium Falcon for the first time]

What a piece of junk!

She'll make point five past lightspeed. She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've added some special modifications myself. But we're a little rushed, so if you'll just get onboard, we'll get outta here.

(Imperial Spy talking to Sandtrooper loader) Re reega Re reega!

Sandtrooper leader

Where are they?

Sandtropper leader
(Imperial Spy furiously waves his hand towards Docking Bay 94)

Men, load your weapons!

Well, that's about it. (turns an leaves towards the Millennium Falcon door)
Sandtrooper leader There they are! Blast them!
( a brief shootout between Han Solo and Sand troopers) Han SoloChewy! get the ship started.
(Han Solo runs on board , Obi Wan Kenobi, Luke, C-3P0, and R2D2 sit at a table)
C-3P0 Oh, I hate space travel!
