[the storm troopers are taken prisoner by Calrissian's men]
Lando: [to Lobot, his aide] Well done. Hold them in the security tower, and keep it quiet. Move.
[Lando's aide and their men walk off with the troops as Lando hands Leia the imperials' weapons and starts taking off Chewie's cuffs]
Leia: What do you think you're doing?

Lando: We're getting out of here.
C-3PO: I knew all along. Had to be a mistake.
Leia: [angrily] Do you think that after what you did to Han that we're going to trust you?
[Chewie grabs Lando by the throat]
Lando: [choking] I had no choice!
C-3PO: What are you doing? Trust him,

trust him!
Leia: Oh, well, we understand, don't we, Chewie. You had "no choice".
Lando: Just trying to help...
Leia: We don't need any of your help!
Lando: [gasps] Han! Ha- Ha...
Leia: What?
Lando: HAN!
C-3PO: It sounds like Han!


Lando: [gasping] There's still a chance to save Han! At the east... platform!
Leia: Chewie!
[Leia gets Chewie to drop Lando]
C-3PO: I'm terribly sorry about all this. After all, he's only a Wookiee!

[C-3PO and R2-D2 are first seen walking in the underground base on Ice Planet Hoth]
C-3PO: I didn't ask you to turn on the thermal heater. I merely commented that it was freezing in the princess's chamber...
R2-D2: [Chirps his objection]
C-3PO: But it's SUPPOSED to be freezing! How we are ever going to dry out her clothes, I

really don't know!

Lando: Lord Vader, we only use this facility for carbon freezing. If you put him in there it might kill him.
Darth Vader: I do not want the Emperor's prize damaged. We will test it on Captain Solo.

C-3PO: That sounds like an R2 unit in there! I wonder if... Hello? Hello? How interesting.
Stormtrooper: Who are you?
C-3PO: Oh, my! I... I'm terribly sorry. I didn't mean to intrude. No, please don't get up.

General Rieekan: I don't think we can protect two transports at a time.
Princess Leia: It's risky but we can't hold out much longer. We have no choice.
General Rieekan: Launch patrols.
Princess Leia: Evacuate remaining ground staff.

Lando: [walks into a room with Han, Leia, and Chewbacca in it] Sorry, am I interrupting anything?
Princess Leia: Not really.
Lando: [smiles] You look absolutely beautiful. You truly belong here with us among the clouds.
[Han looks jealous]
Princess Leia: [bitterly] Thank you.

Lando: Would you join us for a little refreshment? Everyone's invited, of course.
[looks at the broken C-3PO]
Lando: Having trouble with your droid?
Han Solo: No, no problem. Why?
[he and Leia walk away as Lando glances at 3PO again then follows with Chewie]

Yoda: [Luke is preparing his X-Wing fighter for take off] Luke. You must complete the training.
Luke: No, I can't keep the vision out of my head. They are my friends; I've got to help them.
Yoda: You must not go.
Luke: But, Han and Leia will die if I don't.
Obi-Wan: You don't know that.


[Force ghost of Obi-Wan appears]
Obi-Wan: Even Yoda cannot see their fate.
Luke: But, I can help them. I feel the Force.
Obi-Wan: But, you cannot control it. This is a dangerous time for you. When you will be tempted by the dark side of the force.
Yoda: Yes! Yes! To Obi Wan, you listen. The cave.

Remember your failure with the cave?
Luke: But I've learnt so much since then. Master Yoda, I promise to return and finish what I've begun. You have my word.
Obi-Wan: It is you and your abilities the Emperor wants. That is why your friends are made to suffer.
Luke: That's why I have to go.
Obi-Wan:

Luke. I don't want to lose you to the Emperor, the way I lost Vader.
Luke: You won't.
Yoda: Stopped, they must be. On this, all depends. Only a fully trained Jedi Knight, with the Force as his ally, will conquer Vader and his Emperor. If you end your training now, if you choose the quick and easy path as Vader did, you will become an agent of evil.


Obi-Wan: Patience.
Luke: And sacrifice Han and Leia?
Yoda: If you honor what they fight for? Yes!
Obi-Wan: If you choose to face Vader, you will do it alone. I cannot interfere.
Luke: I understand.
[Yoda looks surprised]
Luke: R2, fire up the

converters.
[Luke boards his X-Wing fighter]
Obi-Wan: Luke! Don't give in to hate. That leads to the dark side.
Obi-Wan: Strong, is Vader. Mind what you have learned. Save you, it can!
Luke: I will! And I'll return. I promise!
[Luke takes off and departs Degobah]
Yoda: [Obi-Wan and Yoda

watches Luke fly away. Obi-Wan vanishes] Told you I did. Reckless, is he. Now... matters are worse.
Obi-Wan: That boy is our last hope.
Yoda: No. There is another.
