A scene from Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back 1980
Darth Vader

[Darth Vader cuts off Luke's hand. Luke attempts to escape by climbing out onto a projection in the middle of a long ventilation shaft.]

There is no escape! Don't make me destroy you. Luke, you do not yet realize your importance. You've only begun to discover your power! Join me, and I will complete your training! With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict, and bring order to the galaxy.

Luke Skywalker

[angrily]

I'll never join you!

Darth Vader

If only you knew the power of the Dark Side! Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father.

Luke Skywalker

He told me enough! He told me you killed him!

Darth Vader

No. I am your father!

Luke Skywalker

[shocked]

No... No! That's not true! That's impossible!

Darth Vader

Search your feelings, you know it to be true!

Luke Skywalker

[overwhelmed, crying]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! NOOOO...!!

Darth Vader

Luke, you can destroy the Emperor. He has foreseen this. It is your destiny! Join me, and together, we can rule the galaxy as father and son! Come with me. It is the only way.
