Luke Skywalker: She's rich.
Han Solo: [interested] Rich?
Luke Skywalker: Rich, powerful. Listen, if you were to rescue her, the reward would be...
Han Solo: What?
Luke Skywalker: Well, more wealth than you can imagine!
Han Solo: I don't know, I can imagine quite a bit.

    You're welcome. Sometimes the only thing we can do is laugh at the situation, because if we dwelt on it for too long we'd go insane.

    LOL. Thank's blarman,
    I got the connection even before clicking on the link. :)
    Thank's for the laugh, even if it is a sad and dire subject.
    Regards,
    O.A.

    Tax the Forbes 400 out of all their wealth and it would fund our government for a few months.

    I bet he could imagine owning a few ships, like owning custom-outfitted 747s. He could imagine multiple houses. It's all an insignificant fraction of the US national debt.

    Maybe Han Solo and another 300 million like him might be able to imagine that much debt.
