David
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- [from trailer]
- 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.
- [from trailer]
- Interviewer: Is there anything you would like to say, David?
- David: I would like to express gratitude to those who created me. Happy Birthday, David, from Weyland Industries.
