I've always wondered about Ben's line "Who's the more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?". How does that fit into the scenario? Is Han the fool who's following a fool (Ben)? If so, why? He doesn't follow him at all.

I love that line.

I've always figured Ben is predicting (correctly) that Han is still going to do what Ben says regardless of calling him an old fool.

It's a good line but to me it doesn't fit into the scenario. Han didn't want to do anything at all, he was glad that Ben said he was taking care of the tractor beam. If Leia wasn't there and Luke didn't convince him to get more money he would probably just sit and wait.
