>Darth Vader: Obi Wan never told you what happened to your father.

>
>Vader: Yes, it is true.. and you know what else? You know
> that brass droid of yours?
>
>Luke: Threepio?
>
>Vader: Yes, Threepio. I built him - when I was 7 years old.

>Luke: No wonder he's such a pain in the ass!
>
>Vader: Seven years old! And what have you done? Look at
> yourself, no hand, no job, and couldn't even levitate
> your own ship out of the swamp...
>
>Luke: I destroyed your precious Death Star!
>
>Vader: When you were, what, 20! When I was 10, I single-
> handedly destroyed a shielded Trade Federation Droid
> Control ship ...with a lucky shot!
>
>Luke: Well, I used to bulls-eye womp rats in my T-16 racing

> Racer... Right here, baby!

> daddy's the Dark Lord of the Sith... Waahhh! Waahhh!"
>
>Luke: (stammering) Shut up! Shut UP!!!
>
>Vader: You're a slacker! You think *I* had a Dad there for
> *me*? Ha! *I* was conceived by the mitochondrians and
> raised by my mother in slavery! But by the time I was
> your age, I had exterminated the Jedi knights!
>
>Luke looks down the shaft. Takes a step towards it.
>
>Vader: I was wrong... You know what - you're not my kid! You're
> not good enough to be my kid!
>
>Luke, in tears, takes a step off the platform, hesitates, then
>plunges down the shaft. Darth Vader looks after him...
>
>Vader: And get a haircut! (Pfffft!)
