Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back Quotes

[R2 Beeps something about Luke]
C-3PO: Don't say things like that! Of course we'll see Master Luke again! And he'll be quite all right, you'll see!
[to himself]
C-3PO:

Stupid little short-circuit! He'll be *quite* all right.
[R2 beeps again and keeps scanning]

[Chewbacca is fixing C-3PO]
C-3PO: Oh, yes, that's very good, I like that... Oh!
[the lights in his eyes go out]
C-3PO: Well, now, something's not right, because now I can't see!
[Chewie fiddles with something and his eyes turn back on]
C-3PO: Oh, oh, that's much better. Wait... wait. Oh, my! What have you done?

General Veers: He... he felt surprise was wiser...
Darth Vader: He is as clumsy as he is stupid! A clean bombardment is now impossible. General... prepare your troops for a surface attack.
General Veers: Yes, my Lord.
