"Favorite quote from the movie "Aliens"?" Topic

It's a movie filled with great quotes. Which is your favorite?

Some good quotes to get your started:

"Game over, man! Game over!"

"I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

"Maybe you haven't been keeping up on current events, but we just got our asses kicked, pal!"

"Another glorious day in the Corps! A day in the Marine Corps is like a day on the farm. Every meal's a banquet. Every formation a parade. I LOVE the Corps!"

"They mostly come at night. Mostly."

"Maybe she don't like the cornbread, neither."

"Why doncha put her in charge?!?"

"Is this a stand-up fight, or another bug hunt?"

"It don't matter when it's Arcturian!"

It's a dry heat

LET'S ROCK!!!!

Hey Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man?

No. Have you?

"Get away from her you BITCH!"

"HISSSSS"

"That had to hurt!"
… me

thirty eight……………..simulated.

AND

What are we supposed to use man? Harsh language?

DM

Ripley: These people are here to protect you. They're soldiers.
Newt: It won't make any difference.

Ripley: How many drops is this for you, Lieutenant?
Gorman: Thirty eight… simulated.
Vasquez: How many *combat* drops?
Gorman: Uh, two. Including this one.

Hudson: Come on! Come on! Come and get it, baby! Come on! I don't got all day! Come on! Come on! Come on you bastard! Come on, you too! Oh, you want some of this? you!

Stay frosty .

See what I mean? We can practically put the whole script up here. Back when Cameron could write dialog.

They can bill me.

"I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

I've used this one so many times in my daily life it's ridiculous.

"Another glorious day in the Corps! A day in the Marine Corps is like a day on the farm. Every meal's a banquet. Every formation a parade. I LOVE the Corps!"

Substitute

the corps

for my former employer and it was used spontaneously by myself and a LOT of my former coworkers.

Yep, lots of really great ones.

I think my favorit is "Game over man! Game over!!!".

"We're in some pretty sh-t now" is another good one.

Spunkmeyer, get up here.

How do I get outta this chicken outfit?

For me it's a three-way tie between the following:

1) "I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

2) Hudson: "Hey Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man?"

Vasquez: "No. Have you?"

3) "LET'S ROCK!!!!"

Classic film. Classic script. Classic sci-fi period.

I should never had read this stupid thread. Now, I'll have to watch Aliens soon. It's one of my favorite movies

My favorite: don't have one, there's too many good ones.

this is'nt a line from the movie, but am i to understand they(the marines) had only 1 mag for their m40a pulse guns? even at 100 rounds per, i don't think they'd only carry one mag…

hudson, run a bypass…

Ripley: How long after we're declared overdue can we expect a rescue?
Hicks: [pause] Seventeen days.
Hudson: Seventeen *days?* Hey man, I don't wanna rain on your parade, but we're not gonna last seventeen *hours!*

"I made a clean spot. Now we'll have to do the rest." Or something similar…

"Why don't we build a fire…sing some songs"

"Take off and nuke the site from orbit" is used on a pretty frequent basis. Failure to recognize is a crime punishable by revocation of one's Gamer Cred.

I also use the "Another glorious day in the Corps" line quite a bit, with "Corps" replaced by whatever we're doing at the time.

Hands down my favorite movie.

Burke: Look, this is an emotional moment for all of us, okay? I know that. But, let's not make snap judgments, please. This is clearly-clearly an important species we're dealing with and I don't think that you or I, or anybody, has the right to arbitrarily exterminate them..

My favorite movie, there's so much to choose from.

My favorite is, maybe, the love scene.

Watch carefully, or you'll miss it.

"I say we grease this rat-f@@k son-of-a-bitch right now."

Sloppypainter, great line, I forgot that one!

Hudson has the best lines of the movie but I'm going to go with:

"Maybe you haven't been keeping up on current events, but we just got our asses kicked, pal!"

This thread just puts me in the right mood for Cold Wars!

"We're on an express elevator to Hell!"

Darthfozzywig: "See what I mean? We can practically put the whole script up here."

Here ya go . . .

Lots and lots and lots of fantastic lines, both in the script and in the final filming.

Man… So much…. I saw this movie with a theatre full of Marines when it came out. (That fact alone makes me feel old).

The truest line as I recall was, "It's a Dry Heat", which was used repeatedly when I was in Oman….

"How do I get outta this chicken outfit?"

I seem to recall that phrase being used multiple times per day for the majority of my service.

Can't beat – "I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

By the way, about those Arcturans/Arcturians . . .

The End!

Weyland-Yutani. We build better worlds!

"Stop your grinnin' and drop your linen! "

The End?

Nah, it didn't end there. Check it out:

"We're in the pipe, five by five"

Watch your fingers…

'Maybe we got them Demoralised?' – classic Hudson Line from the extended version IIRC.

"Somebody Wake Up Hicks'

Pat

" We need a bigger boat". Well it should have been in there somewhere.

Mooostly

Vasquez: You always were an hole, Gorman!

I used to know someone who nicknamed himself Gorman. And guess what? He was an hole.

"Have IQ's dropped sharply since I've been away?"

I liked the scene where Apone and Hicks ask Ripley what she can do.

'Where d'you want it?'

Pat

"Have IQ's dropped sharply since I've been away?"

I said that out loud in a meeting after a long lunch. It did my career at that employer no favours.

Pat

The whole movie…

Like Shaun of the Dead.

Newt: My mommy always said there were no monsters – no real ones – but there are.
Ripley: Yes, there are, aren't there?

Newt: [to Ripley after they return to the ship] I knew you'd come.

She's just a piece of plastic – Newt about her doll and her not having scary dreams.

Is there anything NOT to like in Aliens? It's one of the two movies I actually bought on iTunes for my iPad. The other is ST2 Wrath of Khan.

"I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

I've used this one so many times in my daily life it's ridiculous.

Dude… what the frick do you do for a living?

Loved the parody Weaver did of the movie while hosting SNL(mid-late '80's),where they accidentally hosed E.T.. Nora Dunn played Vasquez,Jon Lovitz was Burke,and Dennis Miller as the dude who was lopped in half(and still able to make a snide remark),and Dana Carvey as the "Game Over" dude.
