Quotes:

[After discovering the alien bleeds acid.]
Parker: It's got a wonderful defense mechanism: you don't dare kill it.
[Ripley has tried to disengage the self-destruct.]
Ripley: Mother! Turn the cooling unit back on! Mother! ...You bitch!
Ripley: Come on, Ash, I mean, the Science Department should be able to help us. What can we do to drive it?
Ash: Yes, well, it has adapted remarkably well to our atmosphere considering its nutritional requirements. The only thing we don't know about is temperature.
Ripley: OK, what about temperature? What happens if we change it?
Ash: Let's try it. Most animals retreat from fire, yes?
Dallas: Fire, yeah.
Lambert: I can't see a goddamn thing.
Kane: Quit griping!
Lambert: I like griping.
Ripley: Ash?! Any suggestions from you or Mother?
Ash: No, we're still collating.
Ripley: [laughing in disbelief] You what? You're still collating? I find that hard to believe.
Ash: What would you like me to do?
Ripley: Just what you've been doing, Ash, nothing!

Trivia:

In THE BLUE PLANET, David Attenborough said the 'Alien' monster was modeled after the Phronima, a creature spotted by submersibles at great depths. It's only an inch long, mostly transparent, and it looks like a shrimp with head, eyes, jaws and teeth just like the H.R. Gieger monster.
Parts of the Nostromo set were cannibalized to make the corridor in the Vogon spaceship in THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY.
The letters that slowly reveal the title of the movie at the beginning start out as hash marks, one for each crewmember that is killed.
In the space jockey scene, the three crew members Lambert, Dallas, and Kane are portrayed by Scott's two children and another child; this was done to make the model appear larger.
Much of the dialogue was developed through improvisation.
