[Leia sits down on the ground, a little of her anger dispersed in the length of Luke's lecture. He has more than one point, but he's also taken something she said out of context.]

I never said that he was wrong to be insulted by Isolder's bribe. I find that a bit disgusting myself. I am not anyone's property to be bartered for. Since Han probably never saw fit to tell me this, I can't answer for that.

[As she continues, she finds a way to control her emotions so that she can continue talking. A certain amount of passion is needed for politics but it's a hindrance for a Jedi. She knows this.]

I know that he loves me and I know that he's a good man. He's also stupid and doesn't think things through. He's impetuous and takes risks that would kill anyone else. It's only his sheer dumb luck that's kept him alive through most of his misadventures and we both know it.

I thought that he understood that I love him. I don't know many women who'd go against Jabba the Hutt to rescue the man they love. Kidnapping me seems to show that he doesn't at that time.

[She shakes her head, trying not to cry. Tears would do no good here. They would merely make it harder for her to continue on.]

The fact that this is the future for me and the past for the two of you is hard enough. I can see by the way he looks at me here that he cares for me like no other man will. That...is a little frightening but exciting too. However, it doesn't excuse his stupidity and lack of faith in me.
