AFI #008 Harrison Ford as Han Solo from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (1977)

Luke: So. You got your reward and you're just leaving, then?
Han Solo: That's right, yeah. Got some old debts I gotta pay off with this stuff. Even if I didn't, you don't think I'd be fool enough to stick around here, do you? Why don't you come with us? You're pretty good in a fight. We could use you.
[Luke and Han are about to go their separate ways; Luke is upset that Han still plans to leave after receiving his reward]
Luke: Come on. Why don't you take a look around? You know what's about to happen, what they're up against. They could use a good pilot like you. You're turning your back on them.
Han Solo: What good's a reward if you ain't around to use it? Besides, attacking that battle station ain't my idea of courage. It's more like... suicide.
Luke: All right. Well, take care of yourself, Han. I guess that's what you're best at, isn't it?
[starts to storm off]
Han Solo: Hey, Luke!
[Luke stops and turns to face him]
Han Solo: [begrudgingly] May the Force be with you.
[Luke exits. Chewbacca growls]
Han Solo: [to Chewbacca] What're you lookin' at? I know what I'm doin'.
