Here's one as good as any you're likely to find. We're bein' punished by the Creator. He visited a curse on us. So that man could look at... what Hell was like. Maybe He didn't want to see us blow ourselves up, put a big hole in the sky. Maybe He just wanted to show us He's...” (continue)(continue reading)

- Rhodes: You need us the way I see it, lady. I'm not so sure we need you at all. I'm not even sure just what the hell it is you're doing in there. Just what the hell it is my men are risking their asses for.
- Sarah: Well, maybe if there was more...” (continue)(continue reading)“- Sarah: You're incapable of exciting me, Steel, except as an anthropologic curiosity.
- Steel: Oh, what the hell does that mean, Rickles?
- Rickles: It means you're a caveman, asshole! You're a fuckin' throwback! You've been spendin' too much time underground!”“Go on run, run you fucking lunatics!”
“Your orders are to facilitate the job of this scientific team! This is a civilian team, and we don't have to be subjected to your tyranny.”
“- Rhodes: I'm callin' a meeting for 7:00 tonight! I want everybody present. Everybody, lady! Including Dr. Frankestein and including your boyfriend!
- Sarah: I gave him a sedative. He won't be awake!
- Rhodes: Look here, woman! I'm short on man power! I won't have you goin' around dopin' up any of my men without orders from me! Is that clear?”“Captain Rhodes is perfectly human. He knows what he's doing which concerns me. He won't shoot Billy... because he's got no one else who knows electronics. He won't shoot me... because I'm his ride. He probably won't shoot Frankenstein because the old doc can talk him silly. But the rest of you? The rest of you better start worrying, don't you know.”
“- Rhodes: What the fuck is wrong with you people? They're dead! They're fucking dead, and you want to teach them tricks?
- Logan: They have to be rewarded, Captain. Why else will they do what we want them to do?

“Civil behavior is what distinguishes us from the lower forms. It's what enables us to communicate. To go about things in an orderly fashion without attacking each other like beasts in the wild. Civility must be rewarded, Captain. If it isn't rewarded, then there's no use for it. There's just no use for it at all.”
“- Sarah: You're not all right; you're collapsing from stress. Now let me hel...
- Miguel: Collapsing from stress? We're all collapsing. This whole fucking unit is collapsing. Everybody except you. I know you're strong, all right, so what? Stronger than me, stronger than everyone, so what? So fucking what?”“I call him Bub. That's what the lodge fellows used to call my father. Can you imagine a surgeon called Bub? Well, he didn't mind. He was rich. My father was rich. Bub's been responding so well that I let him live. But is he alive or dead? Well, that's the question nowadays isn't it? Let's just say I let him continue to exist.”
