From a story by George Lucas

EXT. DAGOBAH - BOG - DAY

Luke's face is upside-down and showing enormous strain. He stands on
his hands, with Yoda perched on his feet. Opposite Luke and Yoda are
two rocks the size of bowling balls. Luke stares at the rocks and
concentrates. One of the rocks lifts from the ground and floats up to
rest on the other.
YODA
Yes...

Use the Force.

Yoda taps Luke's leg. Quickly, Luke lifts one hand from the ground.
His body wavers, but he maintains his balance. Artoo, standing nearby,
is whistling and beeping frantically.
YODA
Now... the stone. Feel it.
Luke concentrates on trying to lift the top rock. It rises a few feet,
shaking under the strain. But, distracted by Artoo's frantic beeping,
Luke loses his balance and finally collapses. Yoda jumps clear.
YODA
Concentrate!
Annoyed at the disturbance, Luke looks over at Artoo, who is rocking
urgently back and forth in front of him.

EXT. DAGOBAH (NIGHT)

Luke loses contact with the Force. The X-Wing sinks again in the depths of
the swamp.
Flustered and exhausted, the young apprentice looks warily at his master.
Yoda shakes his head.
YODA
You little shit.
LUKE
Sorry, Master.

YODA
Bro do you even lift.
LUKE
I said I'm sorry, you fucking toad.
YODA
Andaqutatedaquemetis.
Luke reluctantly obeys. Yoda takes charge. The old Jedi closes his eyes. The
environment changes subtly. The Force is back.
The X-Wing emerges again. Luke is completely bewildered as the spaceship
lands like a feather in the bank of the swamp.
His eyes turn to Yoda.
YODA
If you are going to fail, at least fail in spectacular fashion
(pause)
You cunt.
