You slimy, double-crossing, no-good swindler. You've got a lot of guts coming here, after what you pulled.

Lando Calrissian

You know, seeing you sure brings back a few things. Yeah, I'm responsible these days... it's the price you pay for being successful.

Lando Calrissian

They told me they fixed it! It's not my fault!

Lando Calrissian
[When Darth Vader and some Stormtroopers ambush Han, Leia, and Chewbacca in the dining room]

I had no choice, they came right before you did. I'm sorry.

Scenes with Lando Calrissian

5 scenes

You may take Captain Solo to Jabba the Hutt after I have Skywalker.

He's no good to me dead.

He will not be permanently damaged.

Lando Calrissian

Lord Vader, what about Leia and the Wookiee?

They must never again leave this city.

Lando Calrissian

That was never a condition of our agreement, nor was giving Han to this bounty hunter!

Perhaps you think you're being treated unfairly?

Lando Calrissian

No.

Good. It would be unfortunate if I have to leave a garrison here.

Lando Calrissian
[under his breath]

This deal is getting worse all the time.

[Han is frozen in carbonite.]

Is he alive?

Lando Calrissian
[checks the readout on the carbonite slab]

Yes, he's alive... and in perfect hibernation.

[to Boba Fett]

He's all yours, bounty hunter. [to Lando] Now, take the wookiee and Leia to my ship.

Lando Calrissian

That wasn't part of the deal! You said the wookiee and Leia would stay under my protection!

I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further. [departs in an elevator]

Han
[Lando has just arrived with two security guards to talk privately with Han, Chewbacca and Leia; Chewbacca growls at him in a fit of rage]

Get out of here, Lando.

Lando

Shut up and listen! Now Vader has agreed to turn Leia and Chewie over to me.

Han

Over to you?

Lando

They'll have to stay here, but at least they'll be safe.

What about Han?

Lando

Vader's giving him to the bounty hunter.

Vader wants us all dead!

Lando

No. He doesn't want you at all! He's after somebody called, uh... Skywalker!

Han
[realizing who Lando is talking about]

Luke!

Lando

Lord Vader has set a trap for him!

And we're the bait!

Lando

Yeah. Well, he's on his way.

Han
[getting very angry at Lando]

Perfect. You've fixed us all real good, didn't you? My friend. [punches Lando in the face; the two security guards come up behind Han and hit him with their clubs, causing him to fall down on the floor. The guards prepare to hit him again]

Lando
[signals his guards to stop the fight]

Stop! [the guards back down while Lando talks to Han, Chewie and Leia] I've done all I can. I'm sorry I couldn't do better, but I've got my own problems. I've already stuck my neck out farther than I should!

Han

Yeah. You're a real hero. [Lando glares at Han, then leaves the room with his two security guards]

[tending to Han's injuries while she talks to him]

Boy, you certainly have a way with people.

Vader
[referring to the carbon freezing chamber]

This facility is crude, but it should be adequate to freeze Skywalker for his journey to the Emperor.

Imperial officer

Lord Vader! Ship approaching, X-wing class.

Vader

Good. Monitor Skywalker and allow him to land.

Lando
[referring to Luke Skywalker]

Lord Vader, we only use this facility for carbon freezing. You put him in there, it might kill him!

Vader

I do not want the Emperor's prize damaged. We will test it... on Captain Solo.

Lando
[Last lines]

Luke, we're ready for takeoff.

Good luck, Lando.

Lando

When we find Jabba the Hutt and that bounty hunter, we'll contact you.

I'll meet you at the rendezvous point on Tatooine.

Lando
[to Leia]

Princess, we'll find Han. I promise.

Chewie, I'll be waiting for your signal. Take care, you two, and may the Force be with you.
