: ... : Sorry, Narcogen, but I fail to see any comedy in that line. You're kidding, right? She says "I love you" and he says "I know" and you don't see the comedy? Sure, there's also romance. And there is definitely tragedy. But there is also humor. He has responded in a way that is absolutely consistent with his character, turning what would otherwise be a serious moment for two entirely separate but related reasons-- the woman he's been jokingly trying to pursue has confessed emotions for him, and he's about to be kidnapped in a way that might kill him-- and still he can't express genuine emotion himself, or respond in a way that isn't a moment of levity. He doesn't say "I love you" back or even say "I do, too" he says "I know." I'd wager on that scene's dialogue not being penned by Lucas. : Or maybe because Lucas can't direct actors at all, and Harrison Ford gave a : stone cold acting gig? Those things are both true, but separate. There just isn't anywhere for the relationship to go after that. Romeo and Juliet don't get married, move to the suburbs and have kids. If they did, nobody would care.
