Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - A Clash Over Ownership and Legacy
Panama Hat:
Small world Dr. Jones.
Indy:
Too small for two of us.

This is the second time I've had to reclaim my property from you.
Indy:
It belongs in a museum!
Panama Hat: [sarcastically; to his henchmen]
So do you! Throw him over the side!

Aliens - Discussion on LV-426 and Terraforming Efforts
Ripley:
Van Leuwen? Why don't you just check out LV-426?
Van Leuwen:
Because I don't have to. There have been people there for over twenty years and they never complained about any hostile organisms.
Ripley: [alarmed]
What do you mean? What people?
Van Leuwen: [he tries to leave, but Ripley blocks his way with her arm]
Terraformers. Planetary engineers. They go down there and set up these big atmosphere processors to make the air breathable. It takes decades. That's what we call shake'n'bake colony
Ripley:
How many are there? How many colonists?
Van Leuwen: [looks pointedly at Ripley's arm]
I don't know. Sixty, maybe seventy families Do you mind?
Ripley: [lets him go and speaks to herself]
Families. Jesus.

Aliens - Investigating the Costs of Space Disasters
Ripley:
I don't understand this. We have been here for three and a half hours. How many different ways you want me to tell you the same story?
Van Leuwen: [points at an empty chair; Ripley sits down]
Look at it from our perspective, please. Please. Now, you freely admit detonating the engines of, and thereby destroying an M-class star freighter, a rather expensive piece of hardware.
Insurance attorney:
Forty-two million in adjusted dollars. That's minus payload, of course.
Van Leuwen:
The lifeboat's flight recorder corroborates some parts of your account. In that for reasons unknown, the Nostromo set down on LV-426, an unsurveyed planet at that time. That it resumed its course and was subsequently set for self-destruct, by you, for reasons unknown.
Ripley:
Not for reasons unknown. I told you. We set down there on company's orders, to get this thing, which destroyed my crew. And your expensive ship.
Van Leuwen:
The analysis team, which went over the lifeboat centimeter by centimeter, found no physical evidence of the creature you describe.
Ripley: [stands up]
Good! That's because I blew it out of the goddamn airlock! Like I said.
Insurance attorney:
Are there any species like this hostile organism on LV-426?
ECA representative:
No, it's a rock. No indigenous life.
Ripley: [sarcastically]
Did IQs just drop sharply when I was away? Ma'am, I already said it was not indigenous, it was a derelict spacecraft, it was an alien ship, it was not from there. You get it? We homed in on its beacon.
ECA representative: [reads the report]
And found something never recorded once in any of the three hundred surveyed worlds "A creature that gestates inside living human host", these are your words, "and has concentrated acid for blood".
Ripley: [beat]
That's right Look... I can see where this is going, but I'm telling you those things exist.
Van Leuwen:
Thank you, officer, that will be all.
Ripley:
Please! You're not listening to me. Kane, the crew member... Kane, who went into that ship, said he saw thousands of eggs there. Thousands.
Van Leuwen:
Thank you, that will be all.
Ripley: [picks up documents; throws the documents on tabletop]
Goddammit, that's not all! Because if one of those things gets down here, then that will be all, and all this this bullshit that you think is so important you can just kiss all that goodbye!
Van Leuwen:
It is the finding of this court of inquiry that Warrant Officer E. Ripley, NOC 14472, has acted with questionable judgement, and is unfit to hold an ICC license as a commercial flight officer. Said license is hereby suspended indefinitely. Now, no criminal charges will be filed against you at this time, and you are released on your own recognizance for a six-month period of psychometric probation, to include monthly review by an ICC psychiatric technician. These proceedings are closed.
