Anthony Daniels: C-3PO

Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back

C-3PO

C-3PO: Sir, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately 3,720 to 1.
Han Solo: Never tell me the odds.

Leia: They're getting closer.
Han Solo: Oh, yeah? Watch this.
[he throws the hyperdrive lever, the engine sputters and dies]
Leia: Watch what?
Han Solo: I think we're in trouble.
C-3PO: If I may say so, sir, I noticed earlier the hyperdrive motivator has been damaged. It's impossible to go to lightspeed!
Han Solo: We're in trouble!

C-3PO: Don't worry about Master Luke. I'm sure he'll be all right. He's quite clever, you know... for a human being.

C-3PO: [Interrupting Han and Leia kissing] Sir. Sir, I've isolated the reverse, power flux coupling.
Han Solo: Thank you. Thank you very much.
C-3PO: Oh you're perfectly welcome, sir.

C-3PO: Oh. They've encased him in Carbonite. He should be quite well protected. If he survived the freezing process, that is.
Darth Vader: Well, Calrissian, did he survive?
Lando: Yes, he's alive, and in perfect hibernation.
Darth Vader: He's all yours, bounty hunter. Reset the chamber for Skywalker.

[the asteroid quakes]
C-3PO: Sir, it's quite possible this asteroid is not entirely stable.
Han Solo: Not entirely stable. I'm glad you're here to tell us these things. Chewie! Take the Professor in back and plug him into the hyperdrive!
C-3PO: Sometimes I just don't understand human behavior.

C-3PO: [R2 is outside the Hoth base, scanning the area] You must come along now R2. There's really nothing more we can do. And my joints are freezing up.
[R2 Beeps something about Luke]
C-3PO: Don't say things like that! Of course we'll see Master Luke again! And he'll be quite all right, you'll see!
[to himself]
C-3PO: Stupid little short-circuit! He'll be *quite* all right.
[R2 beeps again and keeps scanning]

[Chewbacca is fixing C-3PO]
C-3PO: Oh, yes, that's very good, I like that... Oh!
[the lights in his eyes go out]
C-3PO: Well, now, something's not right, because now I can't see!
[Chewie fiddles with something and his eyes turn back on]
C-3PO: Oh, oh, that's much better. Wait... wait. Oh, my! What have you done? I'm BACKWARDS. You flea-bitten furball! Only an overgrown mop-head like you would be stupid enough to...
[Chewie switches 3PO off]

[Han heads out of the Asteroids toward a Star Destroyer]
C-3PO: The odds of successfully surviving an attack on an Imperial Star Destroyer are approximately...
Leia: Shut up!

C-3PO: [Chewbacca is carrying the dismembered C3PO on his back] If only you'd attached my legs, I wouldn't be in this ridiculous position. Now remember, Chewbacca, you have a responsibility to me, so don't do anything foolish!

[while the Falcon is fleeing from Imperial fighters, and R2-D2 is stitching C-3PO back together]
C-3PO: Noisy brute. Why don't we just go to lightspeed?
R2-D2: [beeps]
C-3PO: We can't? How would you know the hyperdrive is deactivated?
R2-D2: [beeps]
C-3PO: The City's central computer told you? R2-D2, you know better than to trust a strange computer.
[R2's welding arm shocks his ankle]
C-3PO: Ouch! Pay attention to what you're doing!

C-3PO: [as Chewie tries to fight off the imperials and free Han] Oh, no! No, no, no! Stop, Chewbacca! Stop!
[Boba Fett prepares to blast him, Darth Vader blocks him]
Han Solo: No! Chewie, stop! You're gonna get us all killed! Chewie, stop!
C-3PO: Oh, yes! Stop, please! I am not ready to die!
Han Solo: Hey, hey! Listen to me, Chewie! Chewie, this won't help me! Hey! Save your strength. There'll be another time. The Princess. You have to take care of her. You hear me? Huh?
[Leia and Han share a passionate kiss before Han is dragged towards the freezing chamber by the imperials]
Princess Leia: I love you.
Han Solo: I know.

C-3PO: [on Han's escape plan] I really don't see how that is going to help! Surrender is a perfectly acceptable alternative in extreme circumstances! The Empire may be gracious enough to...
[Han signals to Leia, who shuts 3PO down]

[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!
