Murphy: What kind of animal would do this to a dog?
Andrews: This is Rumor Control. Here are the facts.
Andrews: We're 25 prisoners in this facility. All double-Y chromos. All thieves, rapists, murderers, child-molesters. All scum. Just because they have taken on religion doesn't make them any less dangerous. I try not to offend their convictions. I don't want to upset the order. I don't want ripples in the water. And I don't want a woman walking around, giving them ideas.
Ripley: I see. For my own personal safety.
Andrews: Exactly.
Ripley: This is a maximum security prison, and you have no weapons of any kind?
Andrews: We have some carving knives in the abattoir, a few more in the mess hall. Some fire axes scattered about the place - nothing terribly formidable.
Ripley: That's all?
Andrews: We're on the honor system.
Ripley: Then we're fucked.
Ripley: What's this eighty-five thing?
David: Couple of us sneaked a look at his personnel file the day he arrived. That's his IQ.
Kevin: This thing is really pissed off.
Clemens: I'm a doctor. You're the jailer.
Andrews: We both know exactly what you are.
Aaron: Then you've got one inside of you.
Andrews: Listen to me, you piece of shit! You screw with me one more time, I'll cut you in half!
Clemens: I'm sorry, I don't think I understand.
Dillon: I wanna get this thing, and I need you to do it! And if it won't kill you, then maybe that helps us fight it.
Dillon: You're all gonna die. The only question is how you check out. Do you want it on your feet? Or on your fuckin' knees... begging? I ain't much for begging! Nobody ever gave me nothing! So I say fuck that thing! Let's fight it.
David: I have a problem with this.
Jude: Which part?
David: The part where we're running around down here in the dark with that fucking thing chasing us.
Boggs: Watch your step, brother.
Frank: Treat a queen like a whore and a whore like a queen. You can't go wrong.
Andrews: I'm afraid we'll have to assume there's a very good chance this simple bastard has murdered them.
Dillon: Now you don't know that! He's never lied to me! He's crazy, he's a fool, but he's not a liar.
Golic: It was a dragon! Feeds on minds. It was - nobody can stop it.
Clemens: That's a bit uncharitable.
David: There's definitely something in here with us.
Answer: She means that the alien it moves on 4 legs, whereas the other aliens moved primarily on two legs. This alien came out of a dog in the theatrical version and from an ox in the Assembly cut version, which can only move on 4 legs. This hints to the fact that the alien inherits the characteristics of its host.
