"I love you." "I know." (Princess Leia and Han Solo)

While Leia expresses her love directly, Han's pragmatic response, "I know," hints at his emotional strength and focus on their immediate survival. This happens just before Han gets frozen in carbonite, so it is essentially a confession and a farewell at the same time.

"No, I am your father." (Darth Vader)
