No Time to Discuss This with the Committee

Movie Quote
So one of my favorite lines in Episode V is said when Han Solo is trying to fire up the Falcon to get away from the space slug and doesn't have time to explain to Leia what he is doing:

Han Solo: "No time to discuss this with the committee."
Princess Leia: "I am not a committee!"

At least, I thought it was my favorite line. But yesterday, while trying to come up with a title for my blog, and deciding on using that line because A) it is one of my favorite lines and B) it has the word "discuss" in it, which goes well with a blog title, I decided to look it up to ensure I had it right.

And now I'm not sure I do!

According to both IMDB and Wookieepedia, the quote actually goes like this:

Han Solo: "No time to discuss this as a committee."
Princess Leia: "I am not a committee!"

Well that's not as funny. I like it better when it sounded like Han was actually calling Leia a committee. Her response makes more sense that way too.

As I was stuck at work, I had no way of popping in the DVD to try and get to the bottom of this possibly erroneous memory of mine, so I did a shout out on Twitter to see if smarter people out there could help me.

@bobstarrorg (of 2GAAB) said: re: star wars quote, that's correct!

One point for me!

@kyle_newman (director of Fanboys) said : THE commitee re: Zoe

Two points for me! (Though I have no idea who Zoe is...)

@erier2003 (officially ForceCast.net fan club president) said: I think it's the latter. At least, some script websites say it is.

So two for me, one against.

Finally I managed to get home for the day and popped in the DVD, turned on the subtitles, skipped to the scene, and here's what my TV said:

Han Solo: "No time to discuss this in committee."
Princess Leia: "I am not a committee!"

So now I'm really confused...?
