MemberOvomorphMar-27-2012 8:48 PMI'm kinda biased towards "Aliens" so I'll go with Hudson's "what do you mean they cut the power? How could they cut the power man, they're animals?"

MemberOvomorphMar-28-2012 1:12 AMYeah, Hudson definitely steals the show. Some of his quotes are still uttered between Modern infantryman to this day. truly stuff of legend. and another......"yeah man but its a dry heat". After 10+ years in the Army infantry, I never, ever once witnessed "a nice clean dispersal this time".
probably my fav of all time though, comes from Cpl Hicks.
Burke: he can't make that kind of desicion he's just a grunt, uh, no offense"
Hicks: "none taken, Faroh do you copy"

MemberOvomorphMar-28-2012 1:59 AMBurke - even though he was a corporate stooge, had some good ones.
"Why don't we build a fire, sing a couple of songs eh? Why don't we try that?"
"How can they impound it, if they don't know about it?"
"We both come out of this heroes, and we would be setup, for life"

MemberOvomorphMar-28-2012 2:04 AMi have a few favs
Hudson " yeah, Bishop should go"
or on box set, after aliens momentarily retreat, "maybe we got em demoralized"
and Apone "look into my eye", a classic
and "mostly", i throw that into too many conversations.

MemberOvomorphMar-28-2012 2:30 AMJust because it's pretty fitting for Prometheus, Alien, and Alien's.
"Ash, that transmission... Mother's deciphered part of it. It doesn't look like an S.O.S."
These films are always about either a signal/message they received, or like in Alien's, the lack there of. And then comes all the death.

MemberOvomorphMar-28-2012 3:01 AMNot the best, but did make me smile:
Ripley: How many drops is this for you, Lieutenant?
Gorman: Thirty eight... simulated.
Vasquez: How many *combat* drops?
Gorman: Uh, two. Including this one.
Drake: Shit.
Hudson: Oh, man...
and Alien (i hope Prometheus will help haha)
Ash: There is an explanation for this, you know.

MemberOvomorphMar-28-2012 3:12 AM[u]One of the best:[/u]
Ripley:
[b]"I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."[/b]
Classic, because it is exactly what a smart person comes up with, and exactly what the audience is thinking. (i.e. you don't shoot Michael Myers and be done with it). So, Cameron gives the exact solution that is the very best and smartest thing to do--but then he makes it nearly impossible to achieve. Great line.
Mother:
[b]|Special Order 937
Nostromo rerouted to new co-ordinates. Investigate life form. Gather specimen. Priority One. Insure return of organism for analysis. All other considerations secondary. Crew expendable__[/b]
Like a hammer drop. Perfect reveal coming from Mother. The first text message break-up.

MemberOvomorphMar-28-2012 3:29 AMHudson: Is this gonna be a standup fight, sir, or another bug hunt?
"Another" bug hunt?
So, sometime during Ripley's 50 year hypersleep, other alien species (not necessarily Xenos) have been discovered and wiped out?

MemberOvomorphMar-28-2012 4:44 AMWell, they didn't wipe out the Octarians, women or men. "Doesn't matter when its Octarian."

Harsh language
MemberOvomorphMar-28-2012 7:59 AMHudson: "We're on an express elevator to hell; going down! "
or...
Gorman: "Hicks, meet me at the south lock. We're coming in. "
Hicks: "Roger."
Hudson: [to Vasquez] "He's comin' in. I feel safer already."

MemberOvomorphMar-28-2012 11:08 AMSexiest Ripley lines:
"Umbilicus clear."
"Prime the Port!"

Smoke_Jaguar
MemberOvomorphMar-28-2012 9:16 PMToo many but to quote a few:
Hudson: Stop your grinnin' and drop your linen
(pulling out what seems like an old fashioned cut down shotgun) Hicks: I like to keep this handy... for close encounters
waking up from cryo Drake: Hey, Hicks. Man, you look just like I feel.
everytime ripley says (goddamn) "airlock"
Dropship pilot: In the pipe, five by five. (Minor one, but mentioned after in so many games/movies, plus I always dig that hot stand offish pilot chick)

MemberOvomorphMar-28-2012 10:20 PMMy favorite is when Saunders asks for "Kathy Burke with an unfeasibly large bazooka."
Oh, wait....that was from a Aliens Spoof
