Aliens quotes
Page 5 of 6Frost: I guess she don't like the cornbread either.
Get away from her, you BITCH!
Drake: Hicks. Man, you look just like I feel.
Bishop: Not bad for a... human.
Now please leave. I am not going back, and... I would not be any good to you if I did.
Last stop. Get in. [Newt lies down on the bed] Scoot down. That's good. Now, you lie here and have a nap. You're very tired.
I don't want to. I have scary dreams.
Well, I bet Casey doesn't have scary dreams. Let's take a look. [holds up Casey] Nope. Nothing bad in there. See? Maybe you could try to be just like her, hmm?
Ripley, she doesn't have bad dreams because she's just a piece of plastic.
My mommy always said there were no monsters, no real ones, but there are.
Yes, there are, aren't there?
Why do they tell little kids that?
Most of the time it's true.
Did one of those things grow inside her?
I don't know, Newt. That's the truth.
Isn't that how babies come? I mean, people babies? They grow inside you.
Did you ever have a baby?
Yes, I did. I had a little girl.
Where is she?
She's gone.
You mean dead.
Here. Take this. [gives Newt her wristwatch] For luck. There's that. [switches off the light]
Newt, I'm gonna be right in the next room. And you see that camera right up there? [points to security camera] I can see you right through that camera, all the time to see if you're safe. I'm not gonna leave you, Newt. I mean that. That's a promise.
You promise?
I cross my heart.
And hope to die?
And hope to die. [Newt hugs her, Ripley kisses her on the cheek] Now, go to sleep, and don't dream.
I don't believe this. You guys throw me to the wolves, and now you want me to go back out there? Forget it. It's not my problem.
Can I finish?
No. There's no way.
Ripley, you wouldn't be going in with the troops. I can guarantee your safety.
These Colonial Marines are very tough hombres. They're packing state-of-the-art firepower. There's nothing they can't handle. Lieutenant, am I right?
That's true. We've been trained to deal with situations like this.
Yeah, but we don't know exactly what's going on out there. It may just a downed transmitter, okay? But if it's not... I'd like you to go there as an adviser. And that's all.
What's your interest in all this? Why are you going?
Corporation co-financed that colony along with Colonial Administration. We're going into a lot of terraforming, building better worlds-
Yeah, yeah, I saw the commercial. Look, I don't have time for this. I've gotta get to work.
Oh, yeah. I heard you're working at the cargo docks.
That's right.
Running loaders and forklifts.
Yeah. So?
Nothing. I think it's great that you're keeping busy. And I know it's the only thing you could get. There’s nothing wrong with it. [pause] What would you say if I told you I could get you reinstated as a flight officer? The company has already agreed to pick up your contract.
If I go.
Yeah, if you go. Come on, that's a second chance, kiddo. I personally think for you the best thing in the world would be to get out there and face this thing, get back on the horse-
Spare me, Burke. I've already had my psych evaluation this month.
Yeah, I know, I've read it. You wake up every night, your sheets are soaking with sweat-
I said no, and I mean it! [in normal voice again] Now, please leave. I'm not going back. And I... I wouldn't be any good to you if I did.
Okay, shhh. Just do one thing for me, okay? Think this over [leaves calling card]
I don't know how you managed to stay alive. But you're one brave kid, Rebecca.
Newt.
What'd you say?
Newt. My name is Newt. Nobody calls me Rebecca except my brother.
Newt? I like that. I'm Ripley. It's nice to meet you. And who is this?
Casey.
Hello, Casey. What about your brother? What's his name?
Timmy.
Is Timmy around here too? Maybe hiding like you were? [Newt doesn't answer] Any sisters? [Newt shakes her head] Mom and Dad? [Newt nods] Newt. Look at me. Where are they?
They're dead, all right? Can I go now?
I'm sorry, Newt. Don't you think you'd be safer here with us? [Newt shakes her head] These people are here to protect you. They're soldiers.
It won't make any difference.
You never said anything about android being aboard, why not?
It never... never occurred to me. It's just a common practice, we always have a synthetic on board.
I prefer the term "artificial person" myself. Is there a problem?
I'm sorry. I don't know why I didn't... [to Bishop] On Ripley's last trip the synth- the artificial person malfunctioned.
"Malfunctioned"?!
We had some problems and, uh... few deaths were involved.
I'm shocked. Was it an older model?
Yeah. Hyperdyne Systems 120-A/2.
Well, that explains it. I mean, the A/2s always were a bit twitchy. That could never happen now with our behaviour inhibitors. It is impossible for me to harm, or by omission of action, allowed to be harmed, a human being. [hands the tray with corn bread to Ripley] Are you sure you don't want some?
Just stay away from me, Bishop. You got that straight?
Van Leuwen? Why don't you just check out LV-426?
Van Leuwen Because I don't have to. There have been people there for over twenty years and they never complained about any hostile organisms.
Van Leuwen Terraformers. Planetary engineers. They go down there and set up these big atmosphere processors to make the air breathable. It takes decades. That's what we call 'shake'n'bake colony' [he tries to leave, but Ripley blocks his way with her arm]
How many are there? How many colonists?
Van Leuwen I don't know. Sixty, maybe seventy families [looks pointedly at Ripley's arm] Do you mind?
Hey, mira, who's Snow White? [indicates Ripley]
Ferro She's supposed to be some kind of consultant. Apparently, she saw an alien once.
Whoopee-****-doo. Hey, I'm impressed.
¡Que bonita!
Hey, Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man?
No. Have you?
Dietrich Not enough to wake up every day to your face, Drake.
What? Is that a joke?
Dietrich Oh, I wish it were.
Hey, Hicks. Man, you look just like i feel.
All right, sweethearts, what are you waiting for? Breakfast in bed? Another glorious day in the Corps! Day in the Marine Corps is like a day on the farm. Every meal's a banquet. Every paycheck a fortune. Every formation a parade. I love the Corps!
Man, this floor is freezing!
What do you want me to do, fetch the slippers for ya?
Gee, would you, sir? I'd like that.
That's absolutely everything we can salvage from the APC wreckage. We've got four pulse rifles, with about fifty rounds each. That ain't so good. We got, uh, fifteen of these M-40 grenades. [Newt reaches for a grenade] Don't touch that. Dangerous, honey.
Is that the only flamethrower?
Yeah. It's only half-full, but it's functional. Got another one, it's damaged, so I don't know about that one. But the good news... We've got four of these robot sentries, with display and scanners intact. They really kick ass. They'll come in handy.
How long after we're declared overdue we can expect a rescue?
Seventeen days? Hey man, I don't wanna rain on your parade, but we're not gonna last seventeen hours! These things are going to come here like they did before and they're gonna... [starts rambling unintelligibly]
Hudson! HUDSON! [Hudson stops talking] This little girl survived longer than that with no weapons and no training [to Newt] Right?
You better start dealing with it, OK!? Listen to me! Hudson, just deal with it, because we need you, and I'm sick of your bullshit. I want you to get into the terminal and get me some kind of floor plan of this building. Construction blueprints, I don't care, anything that shows us a layout of this place. You listening?
I need to see air ducts, I need to see electrical access tunnels, sub-basements, every possible way into this complex [beat] We don't have much time.
Yeah. Yeah, I'm on it.
Hudson! Just relax.
I'm gonna be in the med-lab. Check on Gorman, continue my analysis.
All right. You do that.
How many drops for you is this, lieutenant?
Thirty-eight. Simulated.
How many combat drops?
Uh, two. Including this one.
Shit.
Oh-ho, man...
