Han: I'm calling because I'm planning on asking Leia to marry me and... I was hoping to get your approval.
Bail: Han, let me ask you a question.
Han: Sure.
Bail: How well do you know my daughter?
Han: Um, we've been dating for two years...
Bail: Because if you feel the need to ask me about this scenario, I have a sense you don't know Leia at all.
Han: Sir, I love your daughter and I want to marry her. That's why I'm calling.
Bail: First of all, Han, the truth is this is just a courtesy call. Like when you say to your neighbor, "We're having a loud party on Saturday night if that's all right with you." What you really mean is, "We're having a loud party on Saturday night."
Han: Mr. Organa...
Bail: Leia doesn't give a damn what my opinion is. What interests me is that you do.
Han: It's just a custom to call the father, that's all this is...
Bail: Well, then, I'll tell you what. I may become your father-in-law, that's just fine. But I will not be used as part of a charming little anecdote you tell your friends at cocktail parties so they can see what a quaint, old-fashioned guy Han really is. Are we clear?
Han: Yes, sir...
Bail: Good. Then welcome to the family.
