This Is Han Solo's Best Line Ever

Well, there are only about a thousand excellent candidates, so let's start at the beginning, with 1977's Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. We first meet Han and his loyal first mate Chewbacca when the pair are hired by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker to bring them to the planet Alderaan aboard their ship, the Millennium Falcon, at the request of Princess Leia. But when they arrive, something is missing: Alderaan, which has been destroyed by the Empire's Death Star space station in a devastating show of force.

The crew determine that Leia is being held captive aboard the Death Star, and when the ship is hauled in b the space station's tractor beams, Luke and Han — after a pitched battle with Imperial forces — disguise themselves as Stormtroopers and set out to find Leia while Kenobi attempts to locate and disable the tractor beams so that they can make good their escape.

Han and Luke manage to infiltrate the detention block, but they arouse suspicion after they're forced to blast a few more unlucky Stormtroopers. When a superior officer radios the detention block to see what all the commotion is, Han proves that sometimes, his way with words can just fail him.

"Everything's under control, situation normal!" he reports, a little too cheerfully. When the stern-sounding fellow on the other end of the line asks what happened, Han stammers, "Uh, had a slight weapons malfunction... but, uh, everything's perfectly alright now, we're fine, we're all... fine... here... now. Thank you. How are you?"

The look on Han's face as he realizes how utterly guilty he sounds is absolutely priceless, and when the commanding officer informs him that he's sending down another squadron of Stormtroopers, Han protests with a lame excuse about a "reactor leak." Finally, he's asked for his operating number, a request to which he responds by annihilating the control panel with his blaster. "Boring conversation anyway," he mutters to himself.
