assistant: "Re: SW:CCG", declared David Beaver from the Vogon ship:
INTERIOR: CLOUD CITY -- HOLDING CHAMBER
LANDO: Lord Vader.
VADER: (to Fett) You may take Captain Solo to Jabba the Hut after I
have Skywalker.
           Han's screams filter through the torture room door.
BOBA FETT: He's no good to me dead.
VADER: He will not be permanently damaged.
LANDO: Lord Vader, what about Leia and the Wookiee?
The part JS quoted is:
HAN: (to Lando) What's going on...buddy?
LANDO: You're being put into carbon freeze.
           Boba Fett moves away from the group to Darth Vader.
BOBA FETT: What if he doesn't survive? He's worth a lot to me.
VADER: The Empire will compensate you if he dies. Put him in!

related to Anakin Skywalker. These here are the facts as far as I know.
