The actual dialogue in the film is:

Frost - Man we got some slack coming, right.
Apone - [overlapping]Come on marine, on your feet!
Hicks - You just had three weeks on your back, Frost.  C'mon.
Frost - I'm talking about breathing, not this frozen shit.
Vasquez - Yeah, top.  How 'bout it?

It also matches up pretty well with the 17 days that Hicks claimed it would take for a rescue ship to arrive after the Sulaco was declared overdue.

FWIW, merzo.net has the Sulaco at 385m.

I'd never noticed that before either, although I'd picked up on fragments of it. Interesting!

This is how I remember it:

Frost - Man we got some slack coming, right.
Apone - [overlapping] Crow Wierzbowski Come on Ski, on your feet!
Hicks - You just had three weeks of slack, Frost.  C'mon.
Frost - I'm talking about breathing, not this frozen shit.
Dietrich - Yeah, top.  How 'bout it?

I'm sure it's Dietrich that has the Yeah top line.  I'll have to double check that later.

I always thought it was Dietrich too, but I'm okay with SM retconning it.

I listened to it a bunch of times thinking it was Vasquez one time, then Dietrich the next.  Could be either (do the subtitles indicate?)  Dietrich is on screen whent he line it spoke and her mouth isn't moving, however.

And yeah I got Apone's line wrong.

Yeah just watched the scene and your right her lips don't move.  However, I do believe it's her as it sounds more like her than Vasquez to me. 

There's also an error in that scene regarding Wierzbowski.  As Apone says his line "Crow Wierzbowski Come on Ski, on your feet!" we see Wierzbowski is already at his locker so Apone couldn't have been talking to him.


Same again happens later on inside the hive Apone asks for Wierzbowski's ammo clip after walking past him.  Wierzbowski has a flame thrower not a pulse rifle.  Sorry to go off topic.

I'm pleasantly surprised that you accepted it at face value.

Yeah I was wandering if the Sulaco or Nostromo was bigger? There both colossal ships.

The Sulaco is the size of James Cameron's cock ego.  Larger than the known universe.

No, but long years of experience dealing with intractable fanboys have made me cynical.  I'm glad to see you're not one of "them."  :)

Ship to ship, the Sulaco's bigger, but the Nostromo significantly outsizes it when its hooked up to the ore barge.

I heard he wanted to have it shaped like a weapon?
