1. "OK, I'll bring you your coffee, bacon & eggs just as soon as finish this autopsy..."

2. "Grab some grenades will ya ?"

"Sure, where are they ?"

"On top of all those unsecured boxes over there - the crate that's sitting
kitty corner, about to fall ..."

3. "Before we blast off, I have just one word for you: "Plastics" !

4. "Cathode ray tubes ... never heard of 'em, what are they ?"

5. "So I decided after one bad marriage, I should to go back to school - I wanted to become a Doctor/waitress ... ya know, kinda 'diversify', not limit my options ..."

6. "... or a race that was reduced to violence & savagery ... Quick, get the grenades, rifles - pistols too ... and all the ammo you can get your hands on !
We'll blow this thing to kingdom come !!"

This movie was made at a time when the cathode ray tube was the bomb no less. Also, all containers used to store fluids were made of glass or metal - I didn't see a single plastic container.

7. "Damn, we can't figure out how to kill this creature . . . . Let's get on the tele-radio and ask Colonel Dan O'Bannon if he has any ORIGINAL ideas."

8. Ann: "Oh, Col. Carruthers, you're so handsome and sexy and nice." [rubs Carruthers' chest and licks his face]

Van, the current, soon-to-be-ex, boyfriend: "Umm, chicken? I'm lying right here, three feet away from you."

I thought that was the funniest thing in the whole movie. "Chicken" is all but humping Carruthers while her dying boyfriend is watching from across the room. And nobody thinks there's anything odd about that. Then again, what do you expect from a divorcee?
