C-3PO
- C-3PO: [Ewoks bowing before C-3PO] I do believe they think I am some sort of god.
- Han Solo: Well, why don't you use your divine influence and get us out of this?
- C-3PO: I beg your pardon General Solo, but that just wouldn't be proper.
- Han Solo: Proper?
- C-3PO: It's against my programming to impersonate a deity.
- C-3PO: I'm rather embarrassed, General Solo, but it appears that you are to be the main course at a banquet in my honor.
- C-3PO: At last, Master Luke's come to rescue me!
- Bib Fortuna: Master.
- [Jabba wakes up with a start]
- Bib Fortuna: May I present Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight?
- Jabba the Hutt: [in Huttese; subtitled] I told you not to admit him!
- Luke: I must be allowed to speak.
- Bib Fortuna: He must be allowed to speak.
- Jabba the Hutt: [grabs Bib Fortuna; in Huttese] You weak minded fool! He's using an old Jedi mind trick.
- [Jabba shoves Bib Fortuna aside]
- Luke: You will bring Captain Solo and the Wookiee to me.
- [Jabba laughs]
- Jabba the Hutt: [in Huttese] Your mind powers will not work on me, boy.
- Luke: Nevertheless, I'm taking Captain Solo and his friends with me. You can either profit by this or be destroyed. It's your choice, but I warn you not to underestimate my powers.
- Jabba the Hutt: [in Huttese] There will be no bargain, my young Jedi. I shall enjoy watching you die.
- C-3PO: His high exaltedness, the Great Jabba the Hutt, has decreed that you are to be terminated immediately.
- Han Solo: Good, I hate long waits.
- C-3PO: You will therefore be taken to the Dune Sea, and cast into the pit of Carkoon, the nesting place of the all-powerful Sarlaac.
- Han Solo: Doesn't sound so bad.
- C-3PO: In his belly you will find a new definition of pain and suffering as you are slowly digested over a thousand years.
- Han Solo: On second thought, let's pass on that, huh?
- EV-9D9: Ah, new acquisitions! You are a protocol droid, are you not?
- C-3PO: I am C-3PO, human/cyborg...
- EV-9D9: [cuts him off] Yes or no will do.
- C-3PO: Umm... yes.
- EV-9D9: How many languages do you speak?
- C-3PO: I am fluent in over six million forms of communication, and can readily...
- EV-9D9: [cuts him off again] Splendid! We have been without an interpreter since our master got angry with our last protocol droid and disintegrated him.
- C-3PO: Disintegrated?
- General Madine: We have stolen a small Imperial shuttle. Disguised as a cargo ship, and using a secret Imperial code, a strike team will land on the moon and deactivate the shield generator.
- C-3PO: It sounds dangerous.
- Princess Leia: [to Han] Who have they found to pull that off?
- General Madine: General Solo, is your strike team assembled?
- C-3PO: He says the scouts are going to show us the quickest way to the shield generator.
- Han Solo: Good. How far is it? Ask him.
- [3PO turns to ask, Han pulls him back]
- Han Solo: We need some fresh supplies too.
- [3PO turns again; Han pulls him back again]
- Han Solo: Try and get our weapons back.
- [and again]
- Han Solo: Hurry up, will ya? Haven't got all day!
- C-3PO: [to R2D2] If I told you half the things I've heard about this Jabba the Hutt, you'd probably short circuit.
- C-3PO: Your Royal Highness.
- Princess Leia: But these are my friends. 3PO, tell them they must be set free.
- [C-3PO speaks with the Ewoks, they listen and shake their heads negatively]
- Han Solo: Somehow I got the feeling that didn't work very much.
- C-3PO: What could possibly have come over Master Luke? Is it something I did? He never expressed any unhappiness with my work.
- Darth Vader: [deleted scene; Darth Vader and Moff Jerjerrod talk] Perhaps I can find new ways to motivate them.
- Moff Jerjerrod: I tell you, this station will be operational as planned.
- Darth Vader: The Emperor does not share your optimistic appraisal of the situation.
- Moff Jerjerrod: But he asks the impossible.
- [gravely]
- Moff Jerjerrod: I need more men.
- Darth Vader: Then perhaps you can tell him when he arrives.
- Moff Jerjerrod: [scared] The Emperor's coming here?
- Darth Vader: That is correct, Commander. And he is most displeased with your apparent lack of progress.
- Moff Jerjerrod: We shall double our efforts.
- Darth Vader: I hope so, Commander, for your sake.
- [Jerjerrod gulps]
- Darth Vader: The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am.
- [he and Jerjerrod walk away. Vader goes to his room and seats himself, communicating to Luke using the Force]
- Darth Vader: Luke... Luke... Join me and the Dark Side of the Force... my son, it is the only way... Luke... Luke...
- [cut to Tatooine, where Luke constructs his new lightsaber and tests it out. R2-D2 beeps something as C-3PO talks to himself]
- C-3PO: What a forsaken place this is! Why couldn't that bounty hunter have taken Captain Solo to a more... pleasant environment?
- [R2-D2 comes out of the small cave and beeps something]
- C-3PO: We're leaving? But, what about Master Luke?
- [R2 beeps again]
- C-3PO: I thought he was going to rescue Captain Solo?
- [R2 beeps and starts rolling away]
- C-3PO: You mean, we're going to that horrible fortress alone?
- [follows after R2, who beeps again]
- C-3PO: We're doomed.
- [cut to another scene where R2 and 3PO are making their way toward Jabba's Palace]
- C-3PO: [R2 beeps a question] Of course I'm frightened, and you should be, too. Lando Calrissian and poor Chewbacca never return from this awful place.
- [R2 beeps]
- C-3PO: Don't be so sure. If I told you half the things I've heard about this Jabba the Hutt, you'd probably short-circuit.
- [R2 sounds scared]
- [Endor; the Rebels are waiting for Luke and Leia; R2-D2 beeps]
- C-3PO: General Solo, somebody's coming!
- [Han, Chewbacca and the Rebels take cover; C-3PO peeks out from behind a tree; Luke arrives]
- Han Solo: Luke!
- [Chewbacca roars; Han's smile fades as he looks around]
- Han Solo: Where's Leia?
- Luke Skywalker: What? She didn't come back?
- Han Solo: [sternly] I thought she was with you.
- Luke Skywalker: We got seperated. We better go look for her.
- Han Solo: [to a Rebel] Take the squad ahead. We'll meet at the shield generator at 0300.
- Luke Skywalker: Come on, R2. We'll need your scanners.
- [they head off into the forest; the Rebels go the other way]
- C-3PO: Don't worry, Master Luke! We know what to do!
- [to R2-D2]
- C-3PO: And *you* said it was pretty here.
