Aliens Quote
Vasquez : [ after barely surviving the Alien surprise attack ] Okay. We have several canisters of CM-20. I say we go back in there and nerve gas the whole fuckin' nest.
Hicks : It's worth the try, but we don't know if that's gonna affect them.
Hudson : Let's just bug out and call it even, mat! What are we even talking about this for?
Ripley : I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
Hudson : Fuckin' A!
Burke : Hold on a second. This installation has a substantial dollar value attached to it.
Ripley : They can *bill* me.
Burke : Okay, I know this is an emotional moment for all of us. I know that. But let's not make snap judgments, please. This is 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.
Ripley : Wrong.
Vasquez : Yeah, watch us.
Hudson : Maybe you haven't been keeping up on current events, but we just got our asses kicked, pal!
Burke : Look. I'm not blind to what is going on, but I cannot authorize that kind of action. I'm sorry.
Ripley : Well, *I* believe that Corporal *Hicks* has authority here.
Burke : *Corporal* Hicks has...?
Ripley : This operation is under military jurisdiction and Hicks is next in the chain of command. Am I right, Corporal?
Hicks : Yeah... yeah, that's right.
Burke : Yeah... look, Ripley, this is a multi-million dollar installation. He can't make that kind of decision. He's just a grunt!
Burke : [ to Hicks ] Uh, no offense.
Hicks : None taken.
Hicks : It's worth the try, but we don't know if that's gonna affect them.
