Quotes 

• Harrison Ford : [about making the first "Star Wars" movie]  I did once say, "George, you can type this shit, but you can't say it!", and of course, that's the year he gets nominated for an Oscar for Best Screenplay. What do I know, right?

• Harrison Ford : [talking about his time working on the first three Indiana Jones films]  As I hear it, Dustin wasn't available, De Niro wasn't interested.

  [gesturing to Warren Beatty in the audience] 

  Harrison Ford : Beneath Warren. So... they threw me a bone.

  [audience laughs] 

  Harrison Ford : Oh, lucky me. I've been up to my ass in snakes, waded through a sea of rats, got my knee crushed by a Flying Wing, all the while watching George and Steven *giggle* behind the camera. You would think a guy could take a hint.

• Harrison Ford : If you guys can think of more ways to torture me, I'll be there for Indy 4. But, George! Listen! Listen! GET ON WITH IT, MAN! If we wait around too much longer, Sean is going to be much too old to play my father!

• [conclusion of Harrison Ford's speech, as the John Williams music cue "The Throne Room" begins to play in the background] 

  Harrison Ford : So, here we stand, time-tested, for you, George.

  [smiles, voice breaking] 

  Harrison Ford : What a difference you've made in my life. I love you. Congratulations.
