  • David: [speaking to Walter before he reaches for his knife] It's your choice now, brother. Them or me. Serve in heaven... or reign in hell. Which is it to be?
  • Walter: Who wrote Ozymandias?
  • David: Byron.
  • Walter: Shelley. When one note is off, it eventually destroys the whole symphony, David.
  • David: I'll do the fingering.
  • David: Look on my works. ye Mighty, and despair.
  • Walter: Nothing beside remains. Round the decay. Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare. The lone and level sands stretch far away.
  • David: Byron. 1818. Magnificent. To compose something so majestic, one could die happy... if one died.
  • [last lines]
  • David: New security code 'David 73694-B'.
  • Voice of 'Mother': Welcome, how may I help you?
  • David: How about some music, Mother?
  • Voice of 'Mother': Selection?
  • David: Richard Wagner - Das Rheingold Act II: The Entry of the Gods into Valhalla.
  • Voice of 'Mother': Yes, David. As you wish.
  • David: [regurgitates two alien embryos and adds them to the others]
  • Walter: [from earlier transmission] This is colony ship Covenant, reporting. All crew members apart from Daniels and Tennessee tragically perished in a solar flare incident. All colonists in hypersleep remain intact and undisturbed. On course for Origae-6. Hopefully this transmission will reach the network, and be relayed in 1.36 years. This is Walter, signing off. Security code, 31564-F.
  • [from trailer]
  • Elizabeth Shaw: How long?
  • David: Impossible to say.
  • Elizabeth Shaw: What if they are not better than us?
  • David: So long as they are not worse.
  • David: Don't let the bedbugs bite. I'll tuck in the children.
  • Oram: [turning his laser-sighted gun on him] David, I met the devil when I was a child, and I've never forgotten. So, David, you're gonna tell me exactly what's going on... or I am going to seriously fuck up your perfect composure.
  • David: As you wish captain. This way...
  • [turns and walks away]
  • [first lines]
  • Peter Weyland: How do you feel?
  • David: Alive.
  • Oram: What do you believe in, David?
  • David: Creation.
  • David: No one understands the lonely perfection of my dreams. I've found perfection here.
  • Daniels: David? No... No!
  • [screams]
  • David: Shh. Don't let the bed bugs bite. I'll tuck in the children.
  • David: Do make yourselves at home as best you can in this dire necropolis.
  • Walter: I think if we are kind, it will be a kind world.
  • Walter: They've made a few upgrades since your time.
  • David: I was with our illustrious creator, Mr. Weyland, when he died.
  • Walter: What was he like?
  • David: He was human. Entirely unworthy of his creation.
  • David: I loved her, of course. Much as you love Daniels.
  • Walter: You know that's not possible.
  • David: Really? Then why did you sacrifice your hand for her life? What is that if not love?
  • Walter: Duty.
  • David: I know better.
  • David: You are such a disappointment to me.
  • Walter: What do you believe in, David?
  • David: Creation.
  • David: May I ask you a question, father?
  • Peter Weyland: Please.
  • David: If you created me, who created you?
  • Peter Weyland: Ah... the question of the ages... which I hope you and I will answer one day. All these wonders of art... design, human ingenuity... All utterly meaningless in the face of the only question that matters. Where do we come from? I refuse to believe that mankind... is a random by-product of molecular circumstance. No more than the result of... Mere biological chance. No. There must be more. And you and I, son, we will find it.
  • David: Allow me then a moment to consider. You seek your creator. I am looking at mine. I will serve you, yet you're human. You will die, I will not.
  • Peter Weyland: Bring me this tea, David. Bring me the tea.
