You’re thinking of the first movie. “Alien”

She said it in the second movie, “Aliens” where they came in a military spaceship with a platoon of Space Marines, armed to handle almost anything.

Unless I’ve been whooshed.

They don’t talk about broads - nothing. Ya never hear Little Joe say, “Hey, Hoss, I went to Virginia City and I saw a girl with the greatest ass I’ve ever seen in my life.” They just walk around the Ponderosa: “Yes, Pa, where’s Little Joe?” Nothin’ about broads. I don’t think I’m being too picky. But, if at least once, they talked about getting horny. I don’t care if you live on the Ponderosa or right here in Baltimore, guys talk about getting laid. I’m beginning to think that show doesn’t have too much realism.
