    The top two are obviously familiar, but certainly wouldn’t attribute the first one to that movie. I don’t think I’ve ever heard the next two phrases used or remember them from the movie, and never heard anyone use ‘mostly’ as a reference from that movie.

    Maybe it’s an insider thing

      The “Mostly” thing is the most famous quote from Aliens.

      The movie quote for “its a dry heat” is from Aliens but I think it is a common phrase used in places like Arizona.

      I probably didn’t pick the most well known ones, but watch the film (which is always worth doing) and you’ll see.

      The “dry heat” line comes from Hudson when they first go into the reactor/nest and they’re looking around, just before the attack.

        Makes sense, but it still seems like all the recognizable ‘quotes’ mentioned are quotes the movie used, and not ones that are came from the movie itself, to the point where it would only be in very specific context where anyone saying them would be quoting Aliens.
