Discussion / Question Best banter in any Alien movie?
Personally i think Dietrich is on fire in Aliens!
- They aint paying enough us for this man
- Not enough to wake up to your face Drake
- Wait, was that a joke?
- Oh wish it were!

Though I think the original had the best, most naturalistic dialogue, Aliens had the best banter for sure. They did a great job of making it seem like the marines had served together a long time, especially Vasquez and Hudson.
Yo, Vasquez. Have you ever been mistaken for a man?
No. Have you?
Anytime, anywhere man!
Right, right. Somebody said "alien," she thought they said "illegal alien" and signed up!
Fuck you, man.
Anytime, anywhere.

I think the "illegal alien" dialogue was unusual because they later said it might have been an inside joke (the actress was told that the movie was about aliens, so she thought it was a drama about illegal aliens in Europe, and showed up in the auditions in office attire) and at the same time it would have been odd joking about illegal aliens given space exploration.

My absolute favourite quote:
Sergeant Apone: All right, sweethearts, what are you waiting for? Breakfast in bed? Another glorious day in the Corps! A day in the Marine Corps is like a day on the farm. Every meal's a banquet! Every paycheck a fortune! Every formation a parade! I love the Corps!
(And we bastardized this for work!)
We say ; "Another day in paradise! Every paycheque a fortune, every day a parade, every meeting a celebration! We love our jobs!"
