What's the best quote on the entire franchise for you?

I will go with:

"You've been in my life so long, I can't remember anything else"

BishopShouldGo

We made you because we could.

N-Shifter

They mostly come at night, mostly.

Jonesy1974

I can't lie to you about your chances, but...you have my sympathies.

Elmazalman

"It's structural perfection is matched only by it's hostility."

windebieste

"Game over, Man!  Game over!"

Seriously?  Is there any other quote from the entire series that is better known?  Maybe "Get away from her, you Bitch!" or something else from 'ALIENS' - the most oft quoted movie in the series.

"It's structural perfection is matched only by it's hostility."
The winner. Mine has always been:

"Not bad, for a human."

winde is right tho, ALIENS has boat loads of great quotes.

"I find you unpleasant to be around" from Clemens


And


  That whole exchange from David and Holloway is so good and ends with such a grate zing from David.
  "Not too close I hope."

GreybackElder

" Hey I don't know if you've been keeping up on current events but we just got our asses kicked pal."
Or..
"Get away from her you bitch."
... and from Alien it's actually rather obscure but when Ripley is trying to talk but Parker keeps interrupting. It feels like she's actually pissed:
"Will you listen to me Parker! Shut up!" - I get a kick out of that everytime.

It's 'cos she was.  Riddles had a quiet word to Kotto and told him to wind Weaver up

The way Veronica Cartwright described that whole scenario is hilarious. Makes perfect sense. One of the most admirable qualities of Scott on Alien was the way he took hold of the actors and knew he was going to have to make the situation tense to get genuine reactions.


I don't know, the thread title and the topic post are two different things to me. The most memorable quote in the franchise?

As others have said, by most memorable it's going to be something from Aliens.
"Game Over, man!"
"Get away from her, you bitch!"
"In the pipe, five by five."
"Not bad for a human."
"Hey Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man?" "No, have you?"
"Is this gonna be a stand-up fight, sir, or another bug hunt?"
"Alright, we waste em! No offense."
"Hey, maybe you haven't been keepin' up on current events but we just got our asses kicked, pal!"
"Nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure."
"They mostly come at night, mostly."

Some of my favorites from Alien/Alien 3
"Right."
"Let's talk about the bonus situation."
"I admire it's purity. A survivor. Unclouded by conscious, remorse, or delusions of morality."


"This is rumor control, here are the facts!"
"You religious?" "Me? Shit no, I got a job!"
"CIGARETTES!"

Scorpio


"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings"
"Look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair"

"LET'S ROCK!" Seems to be another favourite with ALIENS fans.

"Earth, man. What a shithole."

Probably the line from Ash about the Alien's perfection, hostility, etc.
