""The perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility...its purity. A survivor - unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality." ...Is there room enough in space for us and it?"

"Top Secret - Science Officer's Eyes Only...Bring back life form. Priority One. All other considerations secondary. Crew expendable."

"A word of warning …"

"There are things so terrifying, they only exist in a nightmare...or outer space."

"Sometimes the scariest things come from within."

"In space no one can hear you scream."

"[to Dallas] Oh, God! It's moving right towards you! Move! Get out of there!"

"It's a robot! Ash is a goddamn robot!"

"[last lines in the film] Final report of the commercial starship Nostromo. Third Officer reporting. The other members of the crew - Kane, Lambert, Parker, Brett, Ash, and Captain Dallas - are dead. Cargo and ship destroyed. I should reach the frontier in about six weeks. With a little luck, the network will pick me up. This is Ripley, last survivor of the Nostromo, signing off. [to Jones, the ship's cat] Come on, cat."

"[after the Nostromo explodes, seemingly killing the Alien] I got you... you son of a bitch."

"You... are... my lucky star."

"This is your one opportunity to do something that no one has ever done before, and that no one will copy throughout human existence. And if nothing else, you will be remembered as the one guy who ever did this. This one thing."

"What do you do? You laugh. I'm not saying I don't cry, but in between, I laugh. And I realize how silly it is to take anything too seriously. Plus, I look forward to a good cry. It feels pretty good."

"You gotta hear this one song. It'll change your life, I swear."

"You know that point in your life when you realize that the house you grew up in isn’t really your home anymore…all of a sudden even though you have some place to put your shit, that idea of home is gone…or maybe it's like this rite of passage…you will never have that feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, for your kids, for the family you start. It’s like a cycle or something. Maybe that’s all family really is: a group of people that miss the same imaginary place."

"We're not playing "Spin the Bottle." How old are we? More importantly, how old are they?"

"You changed my life. You changed my life, and I've known you four days. This is the beginning of something really big, but right now, I gotta go."

"My mom just died. God, it's weird to say it out loud. But, my mom just died."

"It's amazing how much of my life has been determined by a quarter inch piece of plastic."

"[To Sam] I don't want to waste another moment of my life without you in it."

"This is my life, Dad. This is it. I've spent 26 years waiting for something else to start. So, no, I don't think it's too much to take on, because it's everything there is. I see now it's all there is. You and I are gonna be okay. You know that, right? We may not be as happy as you always dreamed we would be, but for the first time let's just allow ourselves to be whatever it is we are, and that will be better, okay? I think that will be better."

"You know, this necklace makes me think of this totally random memory of my mother. I was a little kid, and I was crying for whatever reason, and she was cradling me, rocking me back and forth, and I can just remember the silver balls floating around. And there was, like, snot running down my nose, right? And she gave me her sleeve - and told me to blow my nose into it. And I can remember, even as a little kid, thinking to myself: Wow. This is love...this is love."

"Dr. Cohen: You know, our bodies are capable of doing some very funny things when they're consumed by stress and anxiety. I found my ex-best friend's cufflinks in my wife's purse. I couldn't get an erection for a year and a half...for example."

"Mark's Mom: Oh, guys, don't stay in here all day. I had to take the batteries out of the carbon monoxide detector. It was beeping all night."

"Hey, if you ever need a Kato, you know where to find me."

"Come on, please. If I was going to get you coke we would've gone to the fucking high school football practice. We would've been rolling five hours ago."

"I'm okay with being unimpressive. I sleep better."

"Don't tease me about my hobbies. I don't tease you about being an asshole."

"The only thing worse than a favor is a favor involving money."

"Sidecars are for bitches."

"My hair's blowin' in the wind."

"I have three Dobermans, and if I didn't kick them in the balls on a regular basis, I'd never get anything done."

"OK, so, sometimes I lie. I mean I'm weird, man, about random stuff too. I don't even know why I do it. It's like... it's like a tic. I mean sometimes I hear myself say something and think, "Wow, that wasn't even remotely true"."

"My mom always says that, when she can see I'm, like, working something out in my head. She's like, "You're in it right now" and I'm looking at you telling this story, and you're definitely in it."

"Wow! I cannot believe you're not really retarded!"

"If you can't laugh at yourself, life is going to seem a whole lot longer than you'd like."

"What's the word that's burning in your heart?"
