A scene from Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back 1980
Han Solo

[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?

Han Solo

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.

Han Solo

[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.

Han Solo

Shh!

Princess Leia Organa

Let go, please.

Han Solo

Don't get excited!

Princess Leia Organa

Captain, being held by you isn't quite enough to get me excited.

Han Solo

[lets go]

Sorry sweetheart. I haven't got time for anything else.
