from Aliens

Newt:  I don't want to sleep.  I have scary dreams.
Ripley:  Well, I bet Casey doesn't have scary dreams.  Let's take a look.  [Looks into the disembodied doll head that Newt carries around]  Nope, nothing bad in there, see?  Maybe you could just try to be like her, hmm?
Newt:  Ripley.  She doesn't have bad dreams because she's just a piece of plastic.

First, those were some great pics from your trip! Find any jungle cats in the bathroom?

Yeah, great scene in a great flick.

I liked the little bit after the dropship crashes:

Newt: Guess we're not gonna make it, are we?
Ripley: I'm sorry, Newt.
Newt: Don't be sorry, it wasn't your fault.

Aw, but no - we did have to change hotel rooms twice, but that was mostly because we were clashing with the dance competition. Supposedly there were two new cubs at our hotel's exhibit (the Siegfried and Roy Secret Garden such and such), but we couldn't find them.

I actually still prefer Alien to Aliens (contrary to this person who claims "Aliens is the best movie ever" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thM0HsilQaM)), but Aliens does have some awesome lines, and the whole franchise is my favorite in SF cinema. Another one of my favorites:

Ripley: "I don't know which species is worse. You don't see them fucking each other over for a goddamn percentage."
