For some reason, I thought Apone was saying "All at the incinerators" back to Gorman. Now that i've learned he says "All after incinerators", I have to admit that line makes more sense.
Also, I wonder how many other people here misinterpreted Hicks as shouting "Marines, we are leaving!" when he in fact was shouting "Drake, we are leaving!"

Yea there has been a debate on the "Drake we are leaving" line before on here.
I always heard it as "Drake" but i'm sure somebody stated that on the original script or the subtitles or summat it actually says "Marines" but Biehn blew his line and Cameron kept it in, I can't really remember tho now tbh ,Where did you hear of it being "Marines"?
" No, we are not relations, sir"
I always heard "Drake, we are leaving".
For within each death there is always a new life, a new beginning - Dillon, Alien 3
I always heard it as "Marines, we are leaving."
The two sound very different so I'd be surprised if it was Drake.

Yes, marines and Drake sound nothing alike, so I'm surprised so many people are hearing different things. I would swear it was marines and never thought it was anything else till I read it hear about drake.
shareIt also doesn't make sense that he would be saying it to Drake when Vasquez was also there.

I know but when Hicks says it, he is holding Hudson and shouting back to the other two.

Well, I just checked my Quadrillogy disc - He says "Drake" on the subs, too!!
He does say, "Let's go, Marines" a couple of times earlier, which is where I assume people are getting confused...
Funny how Drake was bringing up the rear he even died doing so ,it was as if he was falling behind and had no choice other than to stick in that position he even ran out of ammo ensuring they wasn't attacked on the run, Maybe Hicks's line was a shortcut in military/human/emotional terms I/e Drake cover our ass/ we are leaving !
shareOk, so even though I have watched the movie literally 200 times, I watched the scene in question again. Never once had I heard "Drake, we are leaving" , and I'll be damned if that's not what I heard this time. Idk if it's like on the ghost hunter shows where they tell you what to hear and then you hear it.. But now I know why it's confusing. I heard Drake and not Marines. Crazy how the mind can play tricks on you, either way. So now, I can honestly say idk what Hicks says. I just wanted to share my experience, and even though I was 100% Marines earlier, I may have been converted. Or at least can see where the Drake side is coming from. This would be a good experiment. Take a group and divide them in 3. Tell a third to confirm it's Drake, take a third and tell them it's Marines and the other third have them to tell us what they hear. I'll bet the Drake and Marines group almost 100% confirm what they hear. I would be interested in what the other third said. I'm blown away how my mind can fool me, even when I know it's trying to be fooled.

For years I thought Hicks was yelling, "Where's Basky? Where's Basky?"

I always thought Apone said, Ah, negative. We're rolling operations."

I thought that Hicks was shouting "Where's Vasquey!" initially until I saw the film on the big screen around 1994. It was only when I could make out the names on the displays properly that I realised what he was actually saying.
I've always wondered about the shot that immediately follows when Biehn turns round and delivers that line. The camera whips round and just points at a flaming part of the set with no-one there. I guess it was meant to show that Wiersbowzki was standing next to Hicks one second and gone the next, as if taken by an alien. But it's still a little confusing.
Later on, it's only mentioned that Apone and Deitrich were alive and being cocooned. Frost got torched and went over the side of the gantry. Crowe got schwacked when Forst's ammo bag went up. So what actually did happen to Wiersbowski?
Not misheard lines, but a delivery that always made me laugh is when Hicks is trying to stop Vasquez from going after Drake.
Hicks: "Forget him, he's gone!"
Vasquez : "No he's...........not!"
And also when Deitrich shouts "Sarge!" when she finds the live colonist in the cocoons and Apone shouts back "What?!" in response. Like he's a harrased parent shouting back at the children in the back seat on a long drive. Cameron admits that he knew less about the military than he thought he did back then.
Glasgow's FOREMOST authority Italics = irony. Infer the opposite please.
I have always thought it was "marines, we are leaving" till I read this. I'll have to watch it yet again lol. One line for me I never understood was when Hudson told Apone "you'll get lip cancer smoking those" in the loading dock. I think that's what he says but could never understand what it was and that's what I have been told,
One other scene is when Newt and Ripley are escaping in the air ducts ahead of Hicks, Newt says "There is a ***** cut across the roof" I have idea what she said.
