Quotes:

Ripley: When we throw the switches, how long before the ship blows?
Parker: Ten minutes.
Ripley: No bullshit?
Parker: If we ain't outta here in ten minutes, we won't need no rocket to fly through space.
Ripley: Whenever he says *anything* you say "right," Brett, you know that?
Brett: Right!
Ripley: Parker, what do you think? Your staff just follows you around and says "right"? Looks like a regular parrot.
Parker: [laughs] Yes... What, are you some kind of parrot?
Brett: Right!
Lambert: I can't see a goddamn thing.
Kane: Quit griping!
Lambert: I like griping.
[Last line]
Ripley: Cargo and ship destroyed. I should reach the frontier in about 6 weeks. With a little luck, the network will pick me up. This is Ripley, last survivor of The Nostromo, signing off.
Kane: Oh, I feel dead.
Parker: Anybody ever tell you you look dead?

Trivia:

Three aliens were made: a model and two suits. One of the suits was for the seven foot tall Masai tribesman Bolajo Bolaji, and the other was for a trained stunt man.
The face hugger carcass that Ash autopsies was made using fresh shellfish to recreate the internal organs.
Veronica Cartwright was originally to play Ripley, but producers opted for Sigourney Weaver.
Roger Dicken, who designed and operated the "face hugger" and the "chest burster," had originally wanted the latter to pull itself out of Kane's torso with its own little hands, a sequence he felt would have produced a much more horrifying effect than the gratuitous blood and guts in the release print.
Scott is reportedly quoted as saying that originally he wanted a much darker ending. He planned on having the alien bite off Ripley's head in the escape shuttle, sit in her chair, and then start speaking with her voice in a message to Earth. Apparently, 20th Century Fox wasn't too pleased with such a dark ending.
