View Quote Ripley: How many drops is this for you, Lieutenant?
Gorman: 38. ...Simulated.
Vasquez: How many combat drops?
Gorman: Uh... 2, including this one.
Drake: Ah, shit.

View Quote Frost: Man, have I got a bad feeling about this drop.
Crowe: You always say that, you always say "I got a bad feeling about this drop!"

Hicks: Looks like a god damn town meeting.
Gorman: Let's saddle up, Apone.
Apone: Yes sir. [to Marines] All right, people. They ain't paying us by an hour. Let's go, head out! Okay Frost, you're driving.

View Quote Ripley: Lieutenant, what do those pulse-rifles fire?
Gorman: 10 millimeter explosive tip caseless. Standard light armor piercing rounds, why?
Ripley: Well, look where your team is. They're right under the primary heat exchangers.
Gorman: ... So?
Ripley: So... if they fire their weapons in there, won't they rupture the cooling system?
Burke: Whoa ho ho... yeah, she's absolutely right.
Gorman: [turns to Burke] So, so what?
Burke: Look, this whole station is basically a big fusion reactor, right? So she's talking about a thermonuclear explosion and adiós muchachos.
Gorman: Oh, great. Wonderful. SHIT! Look... Ah... Apone. Look, we can't have any firing in there. I, uh... I want you to collect magazines from everybody.
Hudson: Is he ****ing crazy!?
Frost: What the hell are we supposed to use, man? Harsh language?

View Quote Vasquez: All right, we got seven canisters of CN-20. I say we roll them in there and nerve gas the whole ****ing nest.
Hicks: That's worth a try, but we don't know if it's gonna affect them.
Hudson: Let's just butt out and call it even, man! What are we even talking about this for?
Ripley: I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
Hudson: ****in' A!
Burke: Hold on a second. This installation has a substantial dollar value attached to it.
Ripley: They can bill me.
Burke: Okay. This is an emotional moment for all of us, I know that. But let's not make snap judgments, please. This is clearly an important species we're dealing with and I don't think you or I or anybody has the right to arbitrarily exterminate them.
Ripley: Wrong!
Vasquez: Yeah, watch us.
Hudson: Maybe you haven't been keeping up on current events, but we just got our asses kicked, pal!
Burke: Look, I'm not blind to what's going on, but I cannot authorize that kind of action. I'm sorry.
Ripley: Well, I believe Corporal Hicks has authority here.
Burke: Corporal Hicks?
Ripley: This operation is under military jurisdiction, and Hicks is next in chain of command. Am I right, Corporal?
Hicks: Yeah... yeah, that's right.
Burke: Yeah... look, Ripley, this is a multi-million dollar installation! He can't make that kind of decision, he's just a grunt! Ah, no offense.
Hicks: None taken. Ferro, do you copy?
Ferro: Standing by.
Hicks: Prep for dust off. We're going to need immediate evac.
Ferro: Roger. We're on our way.
Hicks: Alright. We take off, nuke the site from orbit.

View Quote Ripley: I dunno how you managed to stay alive, but you're one brave kid, Rebecca.

Newt: It won't make any difference.

View Quote [after the drop-ship crashes and explodes]
Hudson: That's great. That's just ****ing great, man. Now what the **** are we supposed to do? We're in some real pretty shit now, man!
Hicks: Are you finished?
Newt: I guess we're not going to be leaving right now then?
Ripley: I'm sorry, Newt.
Newt: It wasn't your fault.
Hudson: That's it! Game over, man! Game's over! What the **** are we gonna do now? What are we gonna do?
Burke: Maybe we could build a fire and sing couple of songs, huh?! Why don't we try that?!
Newt: We'd better get back because it'll be dark soon, and they mostly come at night. Mostly.

View Quote Newt: My mommy always said there were no monsters, no real ones. But there are.

View Quote [Ripley has just discovered that Burke intends to deliver 2 alien specimens back to Earth]
Burke: Look, those two specimens are worth millions to the bio-weapons division, right? Now, if you're smart, we can both come out of this heroes, and we will be set up for life.
Ripley: ... You're crazy, Burke- do you know that? You really think you can get a dangerous organism like that past ICC quarantine?
Burke: How can they impound it if they don't know about it?
Ripley: But they will know about it. From me. Just like they'll know you were responsible for the deaths of 157 colonists.
Burke: Wait a second.
Ripley: You sent them to that ship!
Burke: You're wrong!
Ripley: I just checked the colony log! Directive dated 6-12-79, signed Burke, Carter J! You sent them out there and you didn't even warn them! Why didn't you warn them!?
Burke: Okay, look- what if that ship didn't even exist? Did you ever think about that? I didn't know! So now, if I went and made a major security situation out of it, everybody steps in. Administration steps in, and there's no exclusive rights for anybody, nobody wins! So I made a decision and it was wrong. It was a bad call, Ripley. It was a bad call.
Ripley: Bad call? These people are DEAD, Burke! Don't you have any idea what you've done here? Well, I'm going to make sure they nail you right to the wall for this! You're not going to sleaze your way out of this one! Right to the wall.
Burke: Ripley... you know, I expected more from you. I thought you'd be smarter than this.
Ripley: I'm happy to disappoint you.

View Quote Ripley: How long after we're declared overdue can we expect a rescue?
Hicks: ... 17 days.

Ripley: Hudson.
Hudson: --and they're gonna come in here and-- AND THEY'RE GONNA KILL US!!!
Ripley: HUDSON! This little girl survived longer than us with no weapons and no training. Right?
Hudson: Why don't you put her in charge?
Ripley: You'd better just start dealing with it, Hudson! Listen to me! Hudson! Just deal with it because we need you and I'm sick of your bullshit.
