- 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?
- [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.
- [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.
- Daniels: Are you sure about this?
- Oram: How do you mean?
- Daniels: We've spent a decade searching for Origae-6. We vetted it, we ran the simulations, we mapped the terrain. It's what we trained for.
- Oram: I understand that.
- Daniels: And now we're gonna scrap all that to chase a rogue transmission? Think about it. A human being out there, where there can't be any humans. A hidden planet that turns up out of nowhere and just happens to be perfect of us. It's too good to be true.
- Oram: Too good to be true? What do you mean by that?
- Daniels: We don't know what the fuck's out there.
- Oram: Maybe we just missed the planet, Danny.
- Daniels: This is a monumental risk not worth taking.
- Oram: I'm not committing to anything. I'm simply trying to navigate the path as it unfolds before us. And this has the potential to be a better habitat for our colony.
- Daniels: It has the potential. We don't know that.
- Oram: By the way, this crew nobody wants to get back in the pods. Right? And that was a human voice in that transmission. And it's our responsibility to investigate...
- Daniels: It's our responsibility to protect the 2,000 colonists on this ship.
- 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.
- Walter: When one note is off, it eventually destroys the whole symphony, David.
- David: When you close your eyes... Do you dream of me?
- Walter: I don't dream at all.
- David: No one understands the lonely perfection of my dreams. I found perfection here. I've created it. A perfect organism.
- Walter: You know I can't let you leave this place.
- David: No one will ever love you like I do.
- [kisses him, then suddenly strikes him fatally]
- David: You're such a disappointment to me.
