INT. ECHO BASE - MAIN HANGAR DECK

With a sense of urgency, Leia quickly briefs a group of pilots gathered in the center of the hangar.

PRINCESS LEIA
Let me have your attention for a moment. 'Cause you're talkin' about what? You're bitchin' about that shot you missed, the cheap Incom lasers, cold feet, some broad you're trying to screw, so forth, let's talk about something important. Are they all here?

DERLIN
All but one.

PRINCESS LEIA
Well, I'm going anyway. Let's talk about something important.

Put that caf down! Caf is for pilots only. You think I'm fuckin' with you? I am not fuckin' with you. I'm here from HQ. I'm here from the Rebel Alliance. And I'm here on a mission of mercy.

Your name's Klivian?

HOBBIE
Yeah.

PRINCESS LEIA
You call yourself a pilot, you son of a bitch?

WEDGE
I don't gotta listen to this shit.

PRINCESS LEIA
You certainly don't pal 'cause the good news is you're dead. The bad news is you got all you got, just one hour to survive, starting right now! Oh, have I got your attention now? Good.

You got Airspeeders. We paid good money to have them retrofitted for this weather. You can't fly the aircraft you're given, you can't fly shit, you are shit, hit the bricks pal and beat it 'cause you are going out!

HOBBIE
The temperature is too low to fly.

PRINCESS LEIA
The temperature is too low. The fuckin' temperature is too low?
Listen, you cocksucker, I've been in this business 20 years...

WEDGE
What's your name?

PRINCESS LEIA
Fuck you, that's my name. You know why mister? Cause you came in all cozy in a GR-75 transport, I had to break out of the Death Star prison and wade through piles of Dianoga shit to get here. That's my name!

We got walkers coming in, you think they come in to get out of the snow? Get mad you sons-of-bitches. Get mad! You know what it takes to overthrow a dictator? It takes brass balls to overthrow dictators.

You want to go out and fight, it's yours, if not, you're going to be shining my shoes. And you know what you'll be saying. Bunch of losers sitting around in a bar: ''Oh yeah, I used to be a pilot. It's a tough racket.''

I'd wish you good luck but you wouldn't know what to do with it if you got it.
