Memorable exchange between Hudson and Vasquez in Aliens

 

Hey Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man?
No. Have you?

 

Going back to vintage...

 

Another one of them new worlds. No beer, no women, no pool parlours, nothin'. Nothin' to do but throw rocks at tin cans, and we gotta bring our own tin cans. (Forbidden Planet)

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain...
