Stay sharp. There's two more coming in. They're gonna try and cut us off. What did you...

Han Solo: Stay sharp. There's two more coming in. They're gonna try and cut us off. [CUTTING-ROOM FLOOR-LINE; turns to Luke and Obi-Wan] Han Solo: What did you guys do to attract this kind of attention, anyhow? Luke: Couldn't we outrun them first and explain ourselves later? You said something about the Kessel Run. Han Solo: Watch the wisecracks, kid, or you're gonna find yourself floating home! I'm nobody's straight-man, not on my own ship!... We'll be safe enough once we make the jump to hyperspace. Besides, I know a few maneuvers which ought to shake the more persistent ones. [CUTTING-ROOM FLOOR-LINE] Han Solo: I just wish I'd known how *popular* the two of you were. Luke: [CUTTING-ROOM FLOOR-LINE] Don't tell me you would've turned us away. Han Solo: [CUTTING-ROOM FLOOR-LINE] No; far more likely, all I would've done was boost your fare... considerably. [the ship shudders as an explosion flashes outside the window] Han Solo: Here's where the fun begins! Obi-Wan: How long before you can make the jump to hyperspace? Han Solo: It'll take a few moments to get the coordinates from the nav-com. [CUTTING-ROOM FLOOR-LINE] Han Solo: I could override it, but the drive might shred itself. [the ship rocks violently as it is straddled with particle-beams] Luke: Do we *have* a few moments? At the rate they're gaining...! Han Solo: Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops, farm-boy! [CUTTING-ROOM FLOOR-LINE] Han Solo: Ever try calculating a jump to light-speed? [Luke shakes his head] Han Solo: Didn't think so; well, it's no parlor trick. Without precise calculations we could fly right through a supernova, or bounce into a singularity. I've seen it happen, too; I only wish I hadn't. Luke: [notices a flashing light] ... What does that mean? What's happening? Han Solo: [noticing it also] Uh-oh, we're losing a deflector shield. Go strap yourselves in, we're ready to make the jump. If we take a burst at the wrong moment... [They escape]

Stay sharp. There's two more comin' in. They're gonna try and cut us off. Why don't you outrun 'em? I thought you said this thing was fast! Watch your mouth, kid, or you're gonna find yourself floating home. We'll be safe enough... once we make the jump to hyperspace. Besides, I know a few maneuvers. We'll lose 'em. Here's where the fun begins. How long before you can make the jump to light speed? It'll take a few moments to get the coordinates from the navicomputer. Are you kidding? At the rate they're gaining? Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dustin' crops, boy! Without precise calculations... we'd fly right through a star... or bounce too close to a supernova... and that would end your trip real quick, wouldn't it? What's that flashing? We're losing a deflector shield. Go strap yourselves in. I'm gonna make the jump to light speed. We've entered the Alderaan system. Governor Tarkin. I should have expected... to find you holding Vader's leash. I recognized your foul stench... when I was brought on board. Charming to the last. You don't know how hard I found it... signing the order to terminate your life. I'm surprised you had the courage... to take the responsibility yourself. Princess Leia, before your execution... I would like you to be my guest... at a ceremony that will make this battle station operational. No star system will dare oppose the emperor now. The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin... the more star systems will slip through your fingers. Not after we demonstrate the power of this station. In a way, you have determined... the choice of the planet that will be destroyed first. Since you are reluctant... to provide us with the location of the rebel base... I have chosen to test this station's destructive power... on your home planet of Alderaan. No! Alderaan is peaceful. We have no weapons. You can't possibly... You would prefer another target? A military target? Then name the system. I grow tired of asking this, so it will be the last time. Where is the rebel base? Dantooine. They're on Dantooine. There. You see, Lord Vader? She can be reasonable. Continue with the operation. You may fire when ready. What? You're far too trusting. Dantooine is too remote... to make an effective demonstration, but don't worry. We will deal with your rebel friends soon enough. No! Commence primary ignition. Are you all right? What's wrong? I felt a great disturbance in the Force... as if millions of voices... suddenly cried out in terror... and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened. You'd better get on with your exercises. Well, you can forget your troubles with those imperial slugs. I told you I'd outrun them. Don't everybody thank me at once. Anyway, we should be at Alderaan about 0200 hours. Now be careful, R2. Argh! He made a fair move. Screaming about it can't help you. Let him have it. It's not wise to upset a Wookiee. But, sir, nobody worries about upsetting a droid. That's 'cause a droid don't pull people's arms out of their sockets... when they lose. Wookiees are known to do that. Grrr... I see your point, sir. I suggest a new strategy, R2. Let the Wookiee win. Argh!
