Quotes9

  • Purvis: [shouting] What's in-fucking-side me?
  • Dr. Wren: A parasite! A foreign element.
  • Ripley: There's a monster in your chest. These guys hijacked your ship, and they sold your cryo tube to this... human. And he put an alien inside of you. It's a really nasty one. And in a few hours it's gonna burst through your ribcage, and you're gonna die. Any questions?
  • Purvis: Who are you?
  • Ripley: [smiles] I'm the monster's mother.
  • Dr. Wren: I think you will find that, uh, things have changed a great deal since your time.
  • Ripley: I doubt that.
  • Dr. Wren: Distephano, take the weapons.
  • Distephano: Begging your pardon, sir, but FUCK YOU!
  • Dr. Wren: Then this little synthetic bitch is gonna plug into the Auriga, and she is gonna take us right back to home base, according to the standard emergency procedures.
  • Call: No, she's not!
  • Distephano: Are you crazy? You still wanna bring those things back to Earth?
  • Johner: Haven't you been payin' attention today?
  • Dr. Wren: Ah, the intellectual speaks.
  • Dr. Gediman: In the... In the Company?
  • Dr. Wren: Weyland-Yutani, Ripley's former employer. Terran growth conglomerate. They had defense contracts with the military. Oh they went under decades ago Gediman, way before your time. Bought out by Walmart. Fortunes of war.
  • Dr. Wren: And the animal itself - wondrous! The potential? Unbelievable once we've tamed them.
  • Ripley: [laughs sarcastically] Roll over, play dead, heel. You can't teach it tricks.
  • Dr. Wren: Why not? We're teaching *you*.
  • Dr. Wren: We're not flying blind here, you know. This is United Systems military, not some - greedy corporation.
  • Ripley: Oh. Well, it won't make any difference. You're still gonna die.
  • Dr. Wren: How do you feel about that? I wish you could understand what we're trying to do here. The potential for the species goes way beyond urban pacification. New alloys, new *vaccines*. There's nothing like this we've ever seen on any world before . You should be very proud.
  • Ripley: Oh, I am.
  • Dr. Wren: I think you will find that things have changed a great deal since your time.
  • Ripley: I doubt that.
  • Dr. Gediman: Something of a predator, isn't she?
  • Dr. Wren: Yes. She continues to make us all - very proud.
