—Leia, I.LANDO[kissing her hand:] Most welcome, Leia.HAN—Aye, ’tis well, ’tis well.Thou ever wert a lover of fair things.C-3POC-3PO am I, and at your service…[Lando turns his back.
[Aside:] I wonder that I still am talking here:Nobody marks me.LANDO[to Han:]—What doth ail the ship?HANThe hyperdrive.LANDO—My people shall beginWork on’t immediately. I tell thee,That ship in many cases sav’d my life!What stories of adventure I could tellIn which the ship doth play the central part.She is the fastest heap of scrap in allThe galaxy!LEIA[aside:]—He loveth this old shipAlmost as much as Han! This love of ships,’Tis like an illness wild within these men.HANNow tell me of thy life and bus’ness, friend—How doth the gas mine for thee? Doth it pay?LANDO’Tis credits in and credits out, but more,I fear, of out than in. We are but small,An outpost minor. Thus have I supplyDilemmas, labor difficulties, too.HANHa, ha!LANDO—Why say’st thou “Ha”? And wherefore twice?HAN’Tis thou. Pray, hearken unto thine own voice.So rife with deep responsibility,So serious, experienc’d, mature,And bus’nesslike. ’Twas not my expectation.LANDO[aside:] O weep, my heart, to see him brings such joy,And pains me more to seal his awful fate.[To Han:] Pray, hear me truly, Han. Whatever elseMay happen, hear these words: this moment dothRecall for me our past together, whichIs sweetness in my memory.HAN—Indeed.’Tis well to see thee thriving so, my friend.LANDOAnd thou hast hit the mark: I duties bear,And grave responsibilities are mine.’Tis but the price of one’s success, I s’pose.[Exeunt Han Solo, Chewbacca, Princess Leia, and Lando.
