your all clear kid
hokey religions and ancient weapons
I have a bad feeling abou this
I'm Han Solo - Captain of the Millenium Falcon
don't get cocky kid
...ain't like dusting crops boy
no mystical field that controls my destiny
where did you get that old fossil?
great shot kid, one in a million
watch your mouth kid
Jabba, your a wonderful human being
sorry about the mess
you've never heard of the Millenium Falcon?
they're gonna kill her
no reward is worth this
get on top of it
I take orders from one person - me
I can imagine quite a bit
this is some rescue
situation normal, everything under control
I've made a lot of special modifications myself
I prefer a straight fight
because droids don't pull people's arms out of their sockets
talks to Greedo
don't everybody thank me at once
it's all a lot of tricks and nonsense
not wise to upset a wookie
yeahooo
sometimes I amaze myself
