“- Brett: So what?
- Kane: We are obligated under section eight...
- Parker: I hate to bring this up but, this a commercial ship, not a rescue ship...
- Brett: Right.
- Parker: ...and it's not in my contract to do this kind of duty. Now what about the money? If you wanna give me some money to do it, I'll be happy to, you know, oblige.”“- Parker: Still with us, Brett?
- Brett: Right.
- Kane: I feel dead.
- Parker: Anybody ever tell you you look dead, man?”“- Lambert: I can't see a goddamn thing.
- Kane: Quit griping.
- Lambert: I like griping.”“- Dallas: I haven't seen anything like that except molecular acid.
- Brett: It must be using it for blood.
- Parker: It's got a wonderful defense mechanism. You don't dare kill it.”“- Dallas: Alright. Ripley, when I give an order I expect to be obeyed.
- Ripley: Even if it's against the law?
- Dallas: You're goddamn right!”“- Brett: You see, Mr. Parker and I feel that the bonus situation has never been on an equitable level.
- Dallas: You get what you're contracted for like everybody else.
- Brett: Yes, but everybody else, uh, gets more than us.”- Ripley: Whenever he says "anything" you say "right", Brett. You know that?
- Brett: Right.
- Ripley: Parker, what do you think? Your staff just follows you around and says "right". Just like a regular parrot.
- Parker: Shape up. What are you, some kind of parrot?
- Brett: Right.“- Ripley: Ash. Any suggestions from you or Mother?
- Ash: No, we're still collating.
- Ripley: You're what? You're still collating? I find that hard to believe.
- Ash: What would you like me to do?
- Ripley: Just what you've been doing, Ash: nothing.”“- Ash: It's ad apted remarkably well to our atmosphere considering its nutritional requirements. The only thing we don't know about is temperature.
- Ripley: Okay, what about temperature? What happens if we change it?
- Ash: Let's try it. I mean most animals retreat from fire, yes?
- Dallas: Fire, yeah.”“- Lambert: Yes! I say that we abandon this ship! We get the shuttle and just get the hell out of here! We take our chances and... just hope that somebody will pick us up!
- Ripley: Lambert, the shuttle won't take four.
- Lambert: Then why don't we draw straws and...
- Parker: I'm not drawing any straws. I'm for killing that goddamn thing right now.”“- Ripley: Ash, that transmission... Mother's deciphered part of it. It doesn't look like an S.O.S..
- Ash: What is it, then?
- Ripley: I... it looks like a warning. I'm gonna go out after them.
- Ash: What's the point? I mean by the-the time it takes to get there, you'll... they'll know if it's a warning or not, yes?”“- Lambert: How about a little something to lower your spirits?
- Dallas: Thrill me, would ya?
- Lambert: Based on my calculations, based on time spent getting to and from the planet...
- Dallas: Just give me the short version, how far to Earth?
- Lambert: Ten months.”“- Parker: How ya doin'?
- Kane: Terrific. Next silly question?”“- Ash: Ripley, for God's sake, this is the first time that we've encountered a species like this. It has to go back. All sorts of tests have to be made.
- Ripley: Ash, are you kidding? This thing bled acid. Who knows what it's gonna do when it's dead.
- Ash: I think it's safe to assume it isn't a zombie.”
