C-3PO Don't blame me. I'm just an interpreter. I'm not supposed to know a power socket from a computer terminal.

5 quotes C-3PO C-3PO Well, at least you're still in one piece. Look what happened to me!
C-3PO We're not interested in hyperdrive on the Millenium Falcon, it's fixed. Just open the door you stupid lump!
C-3PO I thought that hairy beast would be the end of me. [Artoo beeps] Of course I've looked better!
C-3PO The city's central computer told you? R2-D2, you know better than to trust a strange computer.
Scenes with C-3PO
5 scenes C-3PO Sir, the odds of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately three-thousand-seven-hundred-twenty to one!
Never tell me the odds!
[The Millenium Falcon has evaded Vader's forces by flying into a tunnel within a large asteroid.]
I'm going to shut everything down but the emergency power systems.
C-3PO Sir, I'm almost afraid to ask but, does that include shutting me down?
No, I need you to talk to the Falcon and find out what's wrong with the hyperdrive.
C-3PO [The asteroid shakes.]
Sir, it's quite possible this asteroid is not entirely stable.
[annoyed]
Not entirely stable? Well, I'm glad you're here to tell us these things! Chewie, take the professor into the back and plug him into the hyperdrive!
[The asteroid shakes again. Leia falls against Han, who begins holding her.] [after a moment]
Let go.
Shh!
Let go, please.
Don't get excited!
Captain, being held by you isn't quite enough to get me excited.
[Leia struggles with a part on the Falcon. Han moves in to help, but is pushed away.]
Hey, Your Worship, I'm only trying to help.
Would you please stop calling me that?
Sure, Leia.
You make it so difficult sometimes.
I do, I really do. You could be a little nicer, though. Come on, admit it. Sometimes you think I'm alright.
Occasionally, maybe... when you aren't acting like a scoundrel.
Scoundrel? Scoundrel? I like the sound of that. [Grabs and rubs Leia's hand]
Stop that.
Stop what?
My hands are dirty too. What are you afraid of?
Afraid?
You're trembling.
I'm not trembling.
[moving closer to Leia]
You like me because I'm a scoundrel. There aren't enough scoundrels in your life.
I happen to like nice men.
No you're not. You're—
C-3PO [Han begins to kiss Leia] [interrupting]
Sir! Sir! I've isolated the reverse power flux coupling!
C-3PO Oh, you're perfectly welcome, sir.
[Leia walks away.]
All right, Chewie. Let's get outta here!
The Empire is still out there! I don't think it's wise to—
No time to discuss this in a committee!
I am not a committee!
C-3PO Sir, the odds of surviving a direct assault on an Imperial Star Destroyer are precisely—
Shut up!
You can't make the jump to light-speed in this asteroid field!
Sit down, sweetheart; we're taking off!
C-3PO Look!!
I see it, I see it!
C-3PO We're doomed!
The cave is collapsing!
[suddenly realizing that the Millennium Falcon has flown into the mouth of a giant space creature]
This is no cave!
What?!
