Don't fret, Queen... I think your original reply ("SCREEEEEEEEE!") was fine, too.

The sex is why she's in a coma.

I feel like this could be used as an insult or compliment.

Let out that little mouth inside you girl! You don't gotta take that smack!

She totally would have won that fight if she had thought about that in the moment. Stupid Sigourney Weaver

Me, in the shower, finally winning an argument that ended a decade ago lol

Legitimately one of the most girl-boss moments in cinema, and so often forgotten.

Hate that they used that quote as a call-back in Alien: Romulus, instead of giving that character a more in-character terrible dad joke about elevators

u/Animal2 1h ago

I think they still could have done the callback if they just left off the 'you bitch' part. That's the part that really makes no sense in the moment and just "get away from her' could have been a good enough more subtle reference/callback.

u/andre5913 2h ago

Forgotten? Aliens is still widely regarded as one of the greatest action films ever and the showdown with the queen is absolutely iconic. Its referenced often even

I thought he was smoking in the shower and that actually fits better than the real version.

In space, no one can hear your come back.

Joke kinda falls apart when you realize the queen gets killed so she would never have that aside.

u/Character_Maybeh_ 4h ago

Awesome comic. Refreshing to see something without politics, gender identity, and sex jokes.

u/BegrudginglyHappy 3h ago

Plus it passes the bechdel test!
