What we hoped to achieve was to meet our makers. To get answers. Why they even made us in the first place.

Why do you think your people made me?
– David
We made you because we could.
– Charlie Holloway
Can you imagine how disappointing it would be for you to hear the same thing from your creator?

There is nothing in the desert and no man needs nothing.

Final report of the vessel Prometheus. The ship and her entire crew are gone. If you’re receiving this transmission, make no attempt to come to its point of origin. There is only death here now, and I’m leaving it behind. It is New Year’s Day, the year of our Lord, 2094. My name is Elisabeth Shaw, last survivor of the Prometheus. And I am still searching.

David, why are you wearing a suit, man?
– Charlie Holloway
I beg your pardon?
– David
You don’t breathe, remember? So why wear a suit?
– Charlie Holloway
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.
– David
They’re making you guys pretty close, huh?
– Charlie Holloway
Not too close, I hope.
– David

There’s nothing.

– Elizabeth Shaw
I watched your dreams.

Why do you hate us?
– Elizabeth Shaw

So they were traveling somewhere?
– Elizabeth Shaw
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.
– David
Leaving to go where?
– Elizabeth Shaw
Earth.
– David
Why?
– Elizabeth Shaw
Sometimes to create, one must first destroy.
– David

Whatever that probe is picking up, it’s a lifeform.

I think they want us to come and find them.
– Elizabeth Shaw

Take us home!

If we don’t stop it, there won’t be any home to go back to!
– Elizabeth Shaw

Prometheus has landed.

Gentlemen, I can handle this myself. Feel free to join Miss Vickers.

All due respect, captain, you’re a shit pilot and you’re gonna need all the help you can get.
