Quotes 

• Aunt Beru : Where are you going?

  Luke : Looks like I'm going nowhere. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go finish cleaning those droids.

  Aunt Beru : [after Luke leaves]  Owen, he can't stay here forever, most of his friends have gone. It means so much to him.

  Uncle Owen : I'll make it up to him next year; I promise.

  Aunt Beru : Luke's just not a farmer, Owen. He has too much of his father in him.

  Uncle Owen : That's what I'm afraid of.

• Luke Skywalker : You know, I think that R2 unit we bought may have been stolen.

  Uncle Owen : What makes you think that?

  Luke Skywalker : Well, I stumbled across a recording while I was cleaning him. He says that he belongs to someone called Obi-Wan Kenobi. I thought he might have meant old Ben. Do you know what he's talking about?

  Uncle Owen : Uh-uh.

  Luke Skywalker : I wonder if he's related to Ben.

  Uncle Owen : That wizard's just a crazy old man. You stay away from him, you hear me? He's dangerous. Now, tomorrow I want you to take that R2 unit to Anchorhead and have its memory erased. That'll be the end of it. It belongs to us now.

  Luke Skywalker : But what if this Obi-Wan comes here looking for him?

  Uncle Owen : He won't. I don't think he exists anymore. He died about the same time as your father.

  Luke Skywalker : Did he know my father?

  Uncle Owen : I told you to forget it. Your only concern is to prepare those new droids for tomorrow. In the morning, I want them up there on the south ridge working on those condensers.

  Luke Skywalker : Yes, sir.

• Luke Skywalker : [the red R2 unit blows its top]  Uncle Owen!

  Uncle Owen : [looks up from paying the Jawa]  Yeah?

  Luke Skywalker : This R2 unit has a bad motivator, look!

  Uncle Owen : [to Jawa]  Hey, what are you trying to push on us?

• Uncle Owen : Luke! Take these two over to the garage will ya? I want 'em cleaned up before dinner

  Luke : But I was going into Tosche Station to pick up some power converters!

  Uncle Owen : You can waste time with your friends when your chores are done. Now, come on. Get to it.

• Uncle Owen : Have you seen Luke this morning?

  Aunt Beru : He said that he had some things to do before he started, so he left early.

  Uncle Owen : Did he take those two new droids with him?

  Aunt Beru : I think so.

  Uncle Owen : Well, he'd better have those units in the South Ridge repaired by midday, or there'll be hell to pay.

• Uncle Owen : I suppose you're programmed for etiquette and protocol.

  C-3PO : Protocol? Why, it's my primary function, sir. I am well-versed in all the customs...

  Uncle Owen : I have no need for a protocol droid.

  C-3PO : Of course you haven't, sir, not in an environment such as this. That's why I have been programmed...

  Uncle Owen : What I really need is a droid who understands the binary language of moisture vaporators.

  C-3PO : Vaporators? Sir, my first job was programming binary load lifters, very similar to your vaporators in most respects.

  Uncle Owen : Can you speak Bocce?

  C-3PO : Of course I can, sir, it's like a second language to me. I was...

  Uncle Owen : All right, shut up.

  [to the Jawas] 

  Uncle Owen : I'll take this one.

  C-3PO : Shutting up, sir.
