[Uh-oh. This is definitely not a protocol droid. HK-47's attitude has already struck a nerve in Luke. If a droid had behaved like this back on Uncle Owen's farm it would have been deactivated and dismantled for scrap metal faster than you could say "bantha poodoo".]
HK, you will show more respect when addressing your master. If you're truly unhappy with the work we just spent several hours putting into getting you back online again, I'd be more than happy to put you out of your misery. With the limited technology in this town, there are an awful lot of people who'd pay an awful lot of money for droid parts.
[Luke rests his hand on the blaster at his hip to show just how serious he is. He glances to the side at Kaylee.]
No. He'll be in possession of a weapon only when I say so and only use it in defense of himself or the other prisoners in town. Is that clear? [It's evident that the question was addressed to the droid. He sees now that he's made a miscalculation and he'll have to be very careful with how he handles this.]
