Quotes

Dialogue

Charlie Holloway: [pointing at diagrams] These are images of archaeological digs all over the Earth: ancient civilizations that shared no contact. And yet, the same pictogram on every last one of them. Fifield: A star map? Elizabeth Shaw: No, an invitation. Fifield: From whom?

Dialogue

Meredith Vickers: Any casualties? David: Casualties, ma'am? Meredith Vickers: Has anyone died? David: No, ma'am … everyone's fine. Meredith Vickers: Well, then wake 'em up.

Dialogue

Meredith Vickers: I think there might be some confusion about our relationship. Weyland found you impressive enough to fund this mission, but I'm fairly certain your Engineers are nothing but scribblings of savages living in dirty little caves. But let's say I'm wrong, and you do find these "beings" down there: you won't engage them, you won't talk to them, you will do nothing but report back to me. Charlie Holloway: Ummm, Miss Vickers, is there an agenda that you're not telling us about?

Dialogue

Elizabeth Shaw: If we can't make contact, why did you — why did you even bring us here? Meredith Vickers: Weyland was a superstitious man. He wanted a true believer on board. Cheers.

Dialogue

Elizabeth Shaw: What is that? David: Just something from a film I like.

Dialogue

Elizabeth Shaw: [in an alien chamber] Prometheus, are you seeing this? Meredith Vickers: They were right … Janek: You wanted them to be wrong?

Dialogue

David: Why do you think your people made me? Charlie Holloway: We made you because we could. David: Can you imagine how disappointing it would be for you to hear the same thing from your creator?

Dialogue

Meredith Vickers: What did he say, David? David: I don't think he'd want me to tell you. Meredith Vickers: What did he say? David: I'm sorry — [she slams him against the wall, as he calmly continues speaking] — that's confidential. Meredith Vickers: Oh my god — I will find the cord that makes you run, and I will cut it. What did he say? David: He said … try harder.

Dialogue

Peter Weyland: [last words]: There is nothing. David: I know. Have a good journey, Mr. Weyland.

Dialogue

Elizabeth Shaw: You can't leave — please — you have to stop it! Meredith Vickers: We're not stopping anything, Shaw — we're going home. Elizabeth Shaw: Janek! If you don't stop it, there won't be any home to go back to. It's — it's carrying death — and it's headed for Earth.

Dialogue

Elizabeth Shaw: I don't want go to back to where we came from. I want to go where they came from. You think you can do that, David? David: Yes, I believe I can. … May I ask what you hope to achieve by going there? Elizabeth Shaw: They created us. Then they tried to kill us. They changed their minds. I deserve to know why. David: The answer is irrelevant. It doesn't matter why they changed their minds. Elizabeth Shaw: Yes — yes, it does. David: I don't understand. Elizabeth Shaw: Well … I guess that's because I'm a human being, and you're a robot.
