Luke: What's a Sarlacc?
Han: It's a type of buttered snail.
Jabba: Yes, but with more teeth. And tentacles. And the size of a small palace.
C-3PO: We're doomed.
Han: Don't worry, 3PO, you'll survive.
C-3PO: In a life of slavery!
Jabba: We shall test this Sarlacc puppetry before we throw Captain Solo into its maw.
Leia: This sounds eerily familiar...
Jabba: Jedi, you shall serve as the test subject. The little droid shall serve drinks. And the Wookiee-gram shall provide jocularities for all!
Chewbacca: I shall, shall I?
Jabba: Oh, so droll and palindromic! I like you already!
