Ripley: Did IQs just drop sharply while I was away?

Frost: Man, I’m tellin’ you, I got a bad feeling about this drop.
Wierzbowski: You *always* say that Frost. You always say “I got a bad feeling about this drop.”
Frost: Okay, okay, when we get back without ya’, I’ll call your folks.

Gorman: We’re coming in.
Hudson: He’s coming in. I feel safer already.

Hudson: Seventeen days?! Hey man, I don’t want to rain on your parade, but we’re not gonna last seventeen hours! Those things are gonna come in here just like they did before, and... They’re gonna come in here, and... They’re gonna come in here...
Ripley: Hudson!
Hudson: ...and they’re gonna get us!
Ripley: Hudson! This little girl survived longer than that with no weapons and no training. <to Newt> Right?
Newt: <salutes>
Hudson: Why don’t you put her in charge?!

Hudson: Yo! Stop your grinnin’ and drop your linen. Found ‘em.

Hudson: Hey Vasquez, you ever been mistaken for a man?
Vasquez: No, have you?

Sarge: Another glorious day in the core. A day in the marine core is like a day on the farm. Every meal is a banquet, every paycheck a fortune, every formation a parade! I love the core! All right sweethearts, what are you waitin’ for? Breakfast in bed?
Hudson: Man, this floor is freezin’!
Sarge: What do you want me to do? Fetch your slippers for you?
Hudson: Gee, would you sir? I’d like that.
Sarge: <to Hudson> Look into my eye. <to everyone> Fall in people! Come on, let’s go!
Frost: I hate this job.

Frost: I guess she don’t like the cornbread either.

Ripley: They cut the power.
Hudson: What do you mean *they* cut the power? How could they cut the power, man? They’re animals!

Drake: They ain’t payin’ us enough for this mess.
Ferro: Not enough to have to wake up to your face, Drake.
Drake: What? Is that a joke?
Ferro: Oh, I wish it were.

Hudson: Look, let’s just bug out and call it even, okay? What are we talkin’ about his for?
Ripley: I say we take off and nuke the entire sight from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
Burke: H-h-h-hold one second. This installation has a *substantial* dollar value attached to it.
Ripley: They can bill me!
Burke: Okay look, this is an emotional moment for all of us. Okay, I know that. But let’s not make snap judgements, please. This is clearly an important species and I don’t think you or I or *anybody* has the right to arbitrarily exterminate them.
Ripley: Wrong!
Vasquez: Yeah, watch us.
Hudson: Hey, maybe you haven’t been keeping up on current events, but we just got our a**es 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 has authority here.
Burke: *Corporal* Hicks has...
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, okay? He can’t make that kind of decision. He’s just a grunt. <to Hicks> No offense.
Hicks: <to Burke> None taken. <into headset> Ferro, do you copy?
Ferro: Standing by.
Hicks: Prep for dust off. We’re gonna need immediate evac.
Ferro: Roger. On our way.
Hicks: <to everyone> I say we take off, nuke the site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

Frost: It’s hot as hell in here!
Hudson: Yeah man, but it’s a *dry* heat.

Ferro: Spunkmeyer! <I just love that name.>

Hicks: I like to keep this handy, for close encounters.
Frost: I heard that.

Gorman: Apone, look, we can’t have any firing in there. I, uh, I want you to collect magazines from everybody.
Hudson: Is he crazy?
Frost: Hey, what the hell are we supposed use, man? Harsh language?

Vasquez: Look, man, I only need to know *one thing* - where they are.
<snip>
Hudson: Right, right, somebody said alien, she thought they said *illegal* alien and signed up.
