Quotes 

• Han Solo : Well, trust a droid to get to the bottom of things.

  Luke Skywalker : Boba sure fooled the rest of us.

  C-3PO : I beg your pardon, sir. Chewbacca suspected all along there was something bad about Boba.

  Luke Skywalker : How did you know, Chewie?

  [Chewbacca murmurs] 

  C-3PO : May I quote directly, sir? "He just didn't smell right."

• C-3PO : It is indeed true that at times like this R2 and I wish we were more than mechanical beings and we were really alive so we could share your feelings with you.

• Boba Fett : Follow me, friend.

  C-3PO : Don't you think it might be imprudent to trust him so quickly, sir?

  Luke Skywalker : He's our only chance... and besides, he seems like a friend.

  C-3PO : [Artoo burbles]  Indeed. Friend is merely a term that is often misused.

  Luke Skywalker : Did Artoo say that?

  C-3PO : Words to that effect.

• Han Solo : He says our friend Boba found serum for the talisman virus.

  Luke Skywalker : Boba, you're a hero and a faithful friend. You must come with us.

  [R2 bleeps] 

  Luke Skywalker : What's the matter with R2?

  C-3PO : I'm afraid, sir, it's because you said Boba's a friend and faithful ally. That does not feed properly into R2's information bank.

  Luke Skywalker : What are you talking about?

  C-3PO : We've intercepted a message between Boba and Darth Vader, sir. Boba Fett is Darth Vader's right-hand man. I'm afraid this whole adventure has been an Imperial plot.

  Boba Fett : We'll meet again, friends.

  [Boba Fett escapes by flying through the Falcon's top hatch] 

• Luke Skywalker : Hang on, R2.

  C-3PO : What about me? I'm going to shake apart.

• Luke Skywalker : R2, stand by to fire the ejection pod.

  C-3PO : And hurry, R2, or we'll be dessert soon.

• Princess Leia Organa : [Leia sees Malla on the video feed channel]  Malla, it's so good to see you - Happy Life Day!

  Malla : RRURGHRUGRURGHHHH!

  C-3PO : Oh. She says it may be a Happy Life Day for you, but personally she's seen happier ones.

  Princess Leia Organa : I don't want to tie up the channels.
