What is the most important sentence spoken in prometheus?

the writers would have us say: "It's what I choose to believe", which could be Mankind's most inspirational or dangerous words. A lot of good happens out of faith, but not so good things happen in this movie because of blind faith. I like the TE Lawrence fire quote as well, and the way Pierce repeats it in the TED speech, and "try harder"..they both encapsulate the Weyland character and ethos. Without them, man would never achieve greatness. With greatness, comes responsibility and respecting the power this knowledge gives you. Without it, you end up like Weyland, bludgeoned by your own android's head ;)

"We were sooo wrong"

"Try harder"

@ Jelbright While cheesy and catchphrasy, I think you are correct.

SSSSLSLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. Baby Deacon made the movie... hands down people... the humans... they just got in the way.

Trying to think of a good one that hasn't been said..... "A king has his reign, and then he dies. It's inevitable." For those thinking: [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1446714/quotes]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1446714/quotes[/url] I also love: [b]Peter Weyland:[/b] There's nothing to learn. [b]David:[/b] I understand, Mr. Weyland. Have a safe journey. I had no clue what it was Weyland said before dying. Now I do.

"Big things have small beginnings."

The film makes reference to living forever at least nine times. At some point this theme will merge with the religious tones. I haven't yet figured out how. I believe the makers of Prometheus thought "A king has his reign..." was the most impactful line. They opened the very first trailer with that quote.

"well, it's not exactly a traditional fetus."

"My room, ten minutes"

[i]"My room, ten minutes"[/i] I ROFL'd!!!

"I'm sorry" "It's quite all right." [Zips head up in bag.] That's my number 1. "...not minding that it hurts" #2 The "choosing to believe" is clearly critical. "You're not a real boy." "How far would you go?" "East." ... I'm also sure that some of my favorite lines have not been said... YET... October can't come quickly enough.

"It's OK, I can handle this." Just plain funny.

i agree with Chris, all of the quotes from Lawrence of Arabia were great but that one says it all! about the most memorable line in any film i have seen, and now its in two of them. (not minding it hurts) however i also think these are two great lines: another 'quote' if you will "if you cant be with the one you love, love the one youre with" -sounds like hippy talk but could also be taken a lot more philosophically i think. and i do think it has a meaning in the film. maybe in several places but certainly in a sense with Janeks sacrifice and the sacrifice of his shipmates. and of course more literally in getting invited to Vickers room ... and my third favorite is the last line. "... and im still searching" (i believe thats the correct wording). that is the best line to end any story with in my opinion. plus it just sets a positive tone which is nice because -although i love the dark things, its nice to have a positive ending sometimes as well... there are a ton of great lines of course - this film has so much symbolism i only pick up a fraction of it but i can sense there is probably a lot more. maybe its my mind playing tricks on me but i feel like almost every scene and line brims with symbolism, references to other stories and films, and other types for "metaphorical imagery." which is the kind of thing that is fun to look for, debate about, guess at, or just try to understand... and makes the film more impact-full and in new ways the more you see it.

"I didn't know you had it in you." Hands down best line!

"Fifield, are you smoking tobacco in your respirator?" "Yeah...[i] tobacco[/i]."

"I don't want to go where we came from, I want to go where they came from." The mission is a catastrophic failure, everyone is dead, her "maker" tried to kill her, she had a giant squid for a child, and her lover was burned alive right in front of her. And sadly its all her fault.....she wants answers. SEQUEL TIME!

Agreed

What David says to the SJ. Look what happens after that.

"What would you be willing to do?"
