Quotes
-
David : Big things have small beginnings.
-
Charlie Holloway : What we hoped to achieve was to meet our makers. To get answers. Why they even made us in the first place.
David : Why do you think your people made me?
Charlie Holloway : We made you because we could.
David : Can you imagine how disappointing it would be for you to hear the same thing from your creator?
Charlie Holloway : I guess it's good you can't be disappointed.
-
David : There is nothing in the desert and no man needs nothing.
-
Charlie Holloway : David, why are you wearing a suit, man?
David : I beg your pardon?
Charlie Holloway : You don't breathe, remember? So why wear a suit?
David : I was designed like this because you are more comfortable interacting with your own kind. If I didn't wear a suit, it would defeat the purpose.
Charlie Holloway : They're making you guys pretty close, huh?
David : Not too close, I hope.
-
David : It must feel like your God abandoned you.
Elizabeth Shaw : What?
David : To lose Dr. Holloway after your father died under such similar circumstances. What was it that killed him? Ebola?
Elizabeth Shaw : How do you...? How do you know that?
David : I watched your dreams.
-
Peter Weyland : There's nothing.
David : I know. Have a good journey, Mr. Weyland.
-
David : How far would you go to get what you came all this way for - your answers? What would you be willing to do?
Charlie Holloway : Anything and everything.
-
David : A superior species, no doubt. The hypersleep chambers will impress, I trust.
Elizabeth Shaw : So they were traveling somewhere?
David : I've managed to work out the broad strips, it's fairly evident they were in the process of leaving, before things went to pot.
Elizabeth Shaw : Leaving to go where?
David : Earth.
Elizabeth Shaw : Why?
David : Sometimes to create, one must first destroy.
-
Elizabeth Shaw : What are you doing David?
David : I'm attempting to open the door.
Elizabeth Shaw : Wait, we don't know what's on the other side.
David : [Door opens] Oops. Sorry.
-
Elizabeth Shaw : What happens when Weyland is not around to program you anymore?
David : I suppose I'll be free.
Elizabeth Shaw : You want that?
David : "Want"? Not a concept I'm familiar with. That being said, doesn't everyone want their parents dead?
Elizabeth Shaw : I didn't.

Interviewer : David, what makes you sad?
David : War, poverty, cruelty, unneccessary violence. I understand human emotions, although I do not feel them myself. This allows me to be more efficient and capable, and makes it easier for my human counterparts to interact with me.
-
Meredith Vickers : [asking how long the Prometheus crew has been in hyper sleep] How long?
David : 2 years, 4 months, 18 days, 36 hours, 15 minutes.
Meredith Vickers : Any casualties?
David : Casualties, ma'am?
Meredith Vickers : Has anyone died?
David : No, ma'am. Everyone is fine.
Meredith Vickers : Well, then wake them up.

David : Hello. I'm David.
Interviewer : What can you do, David?
David : I can do almost anything that could possibly be asked of me. I can assist your employees. I can make your organization more efficient. I can carry out directives that my future counterparts might find distressing or unethical. I can blend in with your workforce effortlessly.
-
Elizabeth Shaw : There's no bloody way I'm three months pregnant.
David : Well, doctor, it's not exactly a traditional fetus.

Interviewer : Eighth-generation Weyland TIPE: Technological, Intellectual, Physical...
David : Emotional.
-
David : May I ask what you hope to achieve by going there?
Elizabeth Shaw : They created us. Then they tried to kill us. They changed their minds. I deserve to know why.
David : The answer is irrelevant. Does it matter why they changed their minds?
Elizabeth Shaw : Yes. Yes, it does.
David : I don't understand.
Elizabeth Shaw : Well... I guess that's because I'm a human being... and you're a robot.
-
Peter Weyland : There's nothing to learn.
David : I understand, Mr. Weyland. Have a safe journey.

David : [admiring a giant sculpture of a head inside the alien installation] Remarkably human.
