i think star wars a new hope's han solo is an accurate representation of canada's and especially american peoples total cynicism in doing any political struggle to bring heaven on earth even though ironically many people are "religious".

here are some quotes:

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.
---------------------------

Han Solo: Look, Your Worshipfulness, let's get one thing straight. I take orders from just one person: me.

----------------------

Princess Leia Organa: It's not over yet.

Han Solo: It is for me, sister. Look, I ain't in this for your revolution, and I'm not in it for you, Princess. I expect to be well paid. I'm in it for the money.

Princess Leia Organa: You needn't worry about your reward. If money is all that you love, then that's what you'll receive.

[to Luke]

Princess Leia Organa: Your friend is quite the mercenary. I wonder if he really cares about anything. Or anybody.

-----------------------

Han Solo: Marching into a detention area is not what I had in mind.

Luke Skywalker: But they're gonna kill her!

Han Solo: Better her than me!

-------------------

Luke Skywalker: So. You got your reward and you're just leaving, then?

Han Solo: That's right, yeah. Got some old debts I gotta pay off with this stuff. Even if I didn't, you don't think I'd be fool enough to stick around here, do you? Why don't you come with us? You're pretty good in a fight. We could use you.

Luke Skywalker: Come on. Why don't you take a look around. You know what's about to happen, what they're up against. They could use a good pilot like you, you're turning your back on them.

Han Solo: What good is a reward if you ain't around to use it? Besides, attacking that battle station is not my idea of courage. It's more like, suicide.

Luke Skywalker: [angry] Okay. Take care of yourself Han. I guess that's what you're best at isn't it?
