That's it I'm turning back.

I know your family's waiting.

I know it's an important day.

All right. We'll give it a try. I'll set

short coordinates - we won't jump far.

I'll get you back there in time, pal.

Trust me.

Our only hope now, is to outrun that Imperial

Life Day before you know it! Standby,

here's where we say goodbye to our unpleasant friends.
