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.

• [while putting his space suit on, Shaw walks in front of him. She has just had the squid removed] 

  David : I didn't think you had it in you.

  [she looks at him suddenly] 

  David : Sorry, bad choice of words.

• 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.

• Peter Weyland : There's nothing to learn.

  David : I understand, Mr. Weyland. Have a safe journey.

• [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.

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

• 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.
