Missing Lines from The Empire Strikes Back

Ok, off topic, but it is funny, like in the missing lines done for Babylon
5 (never caught the season 5 missing lines). Oh yeah, spoilers for those
three people that never saw Empire Strikes Back.
A furious light sabre duel is under way. DARTH VADER is backing LUKE
SKYWALKER toward the end of the gantry. A quick move by
Vader, chops off Luke's hand! It goes spinning off into the
ventilation shaft. Luke looks round, but realizes there's
nowhere to go but straight down.
- DARTH VADER: "Obi Wan never told you what happened to your father."
- LUKE: "He told me enough! He told me you killed him!"
- DARTH VADER: "No! I am your father!"
- LUKE: "No, that's not true! That's impossible."
- DARTH VADER: "Search your feelings; you know it to be true."
- LUKE: "NO!"
- DARTH VADER: "Yes, it is true and you know what else? You know
- that queer brass droid of yours?"
- LUKE: "Threepio?"
- DARTH VADER: "Yes, Threepio, I built him when I was 7 years old."
- LUKE: "No."
- DARTH VADER: "Seven years old! And what have you done? Look at
yourself, no hand, no job, and couldn't even levitate your own
ship out of the swamp."
- LUKE: "I destroyed your precious Death Star!"
- DARTH VADER: "When you were 20! When I was 10, I single-handedly
destroyed a Trade Federation Droid Control ship!"
- LUKE: "Well, it's not my fault."
- DARTH VADER: "Oh, here we go. 'Poor me, my father never gave me
what I wanted for my birthday, boo hoo, my daddy's the Dark Lord
of the Sith...waahhh wahhh!' You make me sick."
- LUKE: "Shut up!"
- DARTH VADER: "You're a slacker! By the time I was your age, I
had exterminated the Jedi Knights!"
- LUKE: "I used to race my T-16 through Beggar's Canyon!"
- DARTH VADER: "Oh, for the love of God, 10 years old, winner of
the Boonta Eve Open. Only human to ever fly a Pod Racer, right
here baby!"
Luke looks down the shaft. Takes a step toward it.
- DARTH VADER: "I was wrong. You're not my kid. I don't know whose
you are, but you sure ain't mine. Get out of my sight, you loser!"
Luke takes a step off the platform, hesitates, then plunges down
the shaft. Darth Vader looks after him.
- DARTH VADER: "AND GET A HAIRCUT!"
