All troop carriers will assemble at the north entrance. The heavy transport ships will leave as soon as they're loaded. Only two fighter escorts per ship. The energy shield can only be opened for a short time, so you'll have to stay very close to your transports. [Derek Klivian: Two fighters against a Star Destroyer?] The ion cannon will fire several shots to make sure any enemy ships will be out of your flight path. When you've gotten past the energy shield, proceed directly to the rendezvous point. Understood? Good luck.

Scenes with Princess Leia Organa
9 scenes Princess Leia Organa [Han Solo is preparing to leave the Rebel base on Hoth.]
Han!
Yes, Your Highnessness?
Princess Leia Organa I thought you had decided to stay.
Well the bounty hunter we ran into in Ord Mantell changed my mind.
Princess Leia Organa Han, we need you!
We need?
Princess Leia Organa Yes.
Well, what about you need?
Princess Leia Organa I need? I don't know what you're talking about.
You probably don't.
Princess Leia Organa And what precisely am I supposed to know?
Come on! You want me to stay because of the way you feel about me.
Princess Leia Organa Yes! You're a great help to us, you're a natural leader.
No! That's not it. Come on... [Points at himself] A-ha! Come on!
Princess Leia Organa You're imagining things.
Am I? Then why are you following me? Afraid I was gonna leave without giving you a goodbye kiss?
Princess Leia Organa I'd just as soon kiss a Wookiee!
I can arrange that. [Angrily storms down the hallway] You could use a good kiss!
Well, Your Worship, it looks like you managed to keep me here a while longer.
Princess Leia Organa [Haughtily]
I had nothing to do with it. General Rieekan thinks it's dangerous for any ships to leave the system until they've activated the energy shield.
That's a good story. I just think you can't bear to let a gorgeous guy like me out of your sight.
Princess Leia Organa I don't know where you get your delusions, laser brain.
[Chewbacca laughs amusingly]
Laugh it up, fuzzball! [To Luke] You didn't see us alone in the south passage. She expressed her true feelings for me.
Princess Leia Organa What? [annoyed] Why, you stuck up, half-witted, scruffy-looking... nerf-herder!
[in mock offense]
Who's scruffy looking? [To Luke] Must have hit it pretty close to the mark to get her all riled up like that, huh, kid?
Princess Leia Organa Well, I guess you don't know everything about women yet. [suddenly kisses Luke in front of Han]
You said you wanted to be around when I made a mistake. Well, this could be it, sweetheart.
Princess Leia Organa I take it back!
[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.
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.
[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!
Princess Leia Organa [The asteroid shakes again. Leia falls against Han, who begins holding her.] [after a moment]
Let go.
Shh!
Princess Leia Organa Let go, please.
Don't get excited!
Princess Leia Organa 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.
Princess Leia Organa Would you please stop calling me that?
Sure, Leia.
Princess Leia Organa 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.
Princess Leia Organa Occasionally, maybe... when you aren't acting like a scoundrel.
Scoundrel? Scoundrel? I like the sound of that. [Grabs and rubs Leia's hand]
Princess Leia Organa Stop that.
Stop what?
Princess Leia Organa [timidly]
Stop that! My hands are dirty.
My hands are dirty too. What are you afraid of?
Princess Leia Organa Afraid?
You're trembling.
Princess Leia Organa I'm not trembling.
[moving closer to Leia]
You like me because I'm a scoundrel. There aren't enough scoundrels in your life.
Princess Leia Organa I happen to like nice men.
Princess Leia Organa No you're not. You're—
[Han begins to kiss Leia] [interrupting]
Sir! Sir! I've isolated the reverse power flux coupling!
Oh, you're perfectly welcome, sir.
[Leia walks away.]
All right, Chewie. Let's get outta here!
Princess Leia Organa The Empire is still out there! I don't think it's wise to—
No time to discuss this in a committee!
Princess Leia Organa I am not a committee!
Sir, the odds of surviving a direct assault on an Imperial Star Destroyer are precisely—
Princess Leia Organa Shut up!
Princess Leia Organa [Han is being lowered into the carbon freezing chamber.]
I love you.
I know.
Leia You can't make the jump to light-speed in this asteroid field!
Sit down, sweetheart; we're taking off!
Look!!
I see it, I see it!
We're doomed!
Leia The cave is collapsing!
[suddenly realizing that the Millennium Falcon has flown into the mouth of a giant space creature]
This is no cave!
Leia What?!
[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.
Shut up and listen! Now Vader has agreed to turn Leia and Chewie over to me.
Over to you?
They'll have to stay here, but at least they'll be safe.
Leia What about Han?
Vader's giving him to the bounty hunter.
Leia Vader wants us all dead!
No. He doesn't want you at all! He's after somebody called, uh... Skywalker!
Lord Vader has set a trap for him!
Leia And we're the bait!
Yeah. Well, he's on his way.
[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]
[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!
Yeah. You're a real hero. [Lando glares at Han, then leaves the room with his two security guards]
Leia [tending to Han's injuries while she talks to him]
Boy, you certainly have a way with people.
