EXT. LANDING PLATFORM - DOOR OF MILLENNIUM FALCON
Han and Leia stand at the open door, armed. Behind them, Chewie, also armed, surveys the scene warily.
THREEPIO Oh. No one to meet us.
LEIA I don't like this.
HAN Well, what would you like?
THREEPIO Well, they did let us land.
HAN Look, don't worry. Everything's going to be fine. Trust me.
INT. CLOUD CITY - CORRIDOR - DAY
Lando Calrissian, a suave, dashing black man in his thirties, leads a group of aides and some Cloud City guard rapidly toward the landing platform.
The group, like the other citizens of the city, is a motley collection of aliens, droids, and humans of all descriptions. Lando has a grim expression on his face as he moves onto the landing platform.
EXT. LANDING PLATFORM - DOOR OF MILLENNIUM FALCON
HAN See? My friend. (to Chewie) Keep your eyes open, okay?
Chewie growls as Han walks down the ramp. Lando and his men head across the bridge to meet the space pirate.
EXT. CLOUD CITY - LANDING PLATFORM
Lando stops ten feet from Han. The two men eye each other carefully. Lando shakes his head.
LANDO Why, you slimy, double-crossing, no-good swindler! You've got a lot of guts coming here, after what you pulled.
Han points to himself innocently, mouthing, "Me?"
Lando moves threateningly toward Han. Suddenly, he throws his arms around his startled, long-lost friend and embraces him.
LANDO (laughs) How you doing, you old pirate? So good to see you! I never thought I'd catch up with you again. Where you been?
The two old friends embrace, laughing and chuckling.
EXT. LANDING PLATFORM - DOOR OF MILLENNIUM FALCON.
THREEPIO Well, he seems very friendly.
LEIA (wary) Yes... very friendly.
EXT. CLOUD CITY - LANDING PLATFORM
LANDO What are you doing here?
HAN (gestures toward the Falcon) Ahh... repairs. I thought you could help me out.
LANDO (in mock panic) What have you done to my ship?
HAN Your ship? Hey, remember, you lost her to me fair and square.
Chewie growls a reserved greeting. Lando suddenly notices the princess and smiles.
LANDO Hello. What have we here? Welcome. I'm Lando Calrissian. I'm the administrator of this facility. And who might you be?
LEIA Leia.
LANDO Welcome, Leia.
Lando bows before Leia and kisses her hand.
HAN All right, all right, you old smoothie.
Han takes Leia by the hand and steers her away from Lando.
THREEPIO Hello, sir. I am See-Threepio, human-cyborg relations. My facilities are at your...
Before Threepio can finish his self-introduction, Lando has turned to follow Han and Leia, who are walking toward the city.
THREEPIO Well, really!
Lando, his aide, Lobot, and Han lead the way across the bridge, followed by Threepio, Chewie and Leia.
LANDO What's wrong with the Falcon?
HAN Hyperdrive.
LANDO I'll get my people to work on it.
HAN Good.
Lando turns to Leia.
LANDO You know, that ship saved my life quite a few times. She's the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy.

Leia finishes welding the valves she has been working on and attempts to reengage the system by pulling a lever attached to the valve. It doesn't budge. Han notices her struggle, and moves to help her. She rebuffs him.
HAN Hey, Your Worship, I'm only trying to help.
LEIA (still struggling) Would you please stop calling me that?
Han hears a new tone in her voice. He watches her pull on the lever.
HAN Sure, Leia.
LEIA Oh, you make it so difficult sometimes.
HAN I do, I really do. You could be a little nicer, though. (he watches her reaction) Come on, admit it. Sometimes you think I'm all right.
She lets go of the lever and rubs her sore hand.
LEIA Occasionally... (a little smile, haltingly) ... when you aren't acting like a scoundrel.
HAN (laughs) Scoundrel? Scoundrel? I like the sound of that.
With that, Han takes her hand and starts to massage it.
LEIA Stop that.
HAN Stop what?
Leia is flushes, confused.
LEIA Stop that! My hands are dirty.
HAN My hands are dirty, too. What are you afraid of?
LEIA (looking right into his eyes) Afraid?
Han looks at her with a piercing look. He's never looked more handsome, more dashing, more confident. He reaches out slowly and takes Leia's hand again from where it is resting on a console. He draws it toward him.
HAN You're trembling.
LEIA I'm not trembling.
Then with an irresistible combination of physical strength and emotional power, the space pirate begins to draw Leia toward him... very slowly.
HAN You like me because I'm a scoundrel. There aren't enough scoundrels in your life.
Leia is now very close to Han and as she speaks, her voice becomes an excited whisper, a tone completely in opposition to her words.
LEIA I happen to like nice men.
HAN I'm a nice man.
LEIA No, you're not. You're...
He kisses her now, with slow, hot lips. He takes his time, as though he had forever, bending her body backward. She has never been kissed like this before, and it almost makes her faint. When he stops, she regains her breath and tries to work up some indignation, but finds it hard to talk.
Suddenly, Threepio appears in the doorway, speaking excitedly.
THREEPIO Sir, sir! I've isolated the reverse power flux coupling.
Han turns slowly, icily, from their embrace.
HAN Thank you. Thank you very much.
THREEPIO Oh, you're perfectly welcome, sir.
The moment spoiled, Han marches out after Threepio.

CREATURE (teasing) Aww, cannot get your ship out?
The creature spots something of interest in Luke's case. Luke loses patience and grabs the case away. The creature retains his prize - a tiny power lamp - and examines it with delight.
LUKE Hey, you could have broken this. Don't do that. Ohhh... you're making a mess. Hey, give me that!
CREATURE (retreating with the lamp) Mine! Or I will help you not.
Clutching its treasure, the creature backs away from Luke, drawing closer to Artoo. As Luke and the creature argue, one of Artoo's little arms slowly moves out toward the power lamp, completely unnoticed by the creature.
LUKE I don't want your help. I want my lamp back. I'll need it to get out of this slimy mudhole.
CREATURE Mudhole? Slimy? My home this is.
Artoo grabs hold of the lamp and the two little figures are immediately engaged in a tug-of-war over it.
Artoo beeps a few angry, "Give me thats."
CREATURE Ah, ah, ah!
LUKE Oh, Artoo, let him have it!
CREATURE Mine! Mine!
LUKE Artoo!
CREATURE Mine!
The creature lets go with one hand and pokes Artoo lightly with one finger. Artoo reacts with a startled squeal, and lets go.
CREATURE Mine!

Luke headed to Dagobah as instructed and found Yoda. He was not what Luke expected -- small, alien, and green, with a unique backwards way of speaking. Luke trained hard, failing often but learning much from his wise Master. During an exercise, the young Jedi saw a vision of his friends in pain; Luke cut his training short -- against Yoda's wishes -- to help them. He left for Cloud City where Darth Vader awaited, hoping to capture Luke and bring him to the Emperor.
