Leia: We can still save Han! Come on, Chewie!
C-3PO: I am completely in favour of risking our lives to rescue Han!

Leia: He's an asset to the Rebellion. He may talk big about betraying us, but really, when has that ever worked out for him?

Chewbacca: Oh really? That's what you're going with?

Chewbacca: I just wanted to make you say it.
