• Casey Bracket : [In a lab filled with lab workers, as the Predator is laid out on an examination table]  Why do you call it "the Predator"?

  Traeger : It's a nickname. You know, the data suggests that it tracks its prey, exploits weaknesses. Seems to- well, enjoy it. Like a game.

  Casey Bracket : That's not a predator, that's a sports hunter.

  Traeger : Sorry?

  Casey Bracket : A predator kills its prey to survive. I mean, what you're describing is more like a bass fisherman.

  Traeger : Well, we took a vote. Predator's cooler, right?

  [Rest of lab agrees] 

  Traeger : Fuck yeah.

• Traeger : [looking at the Predator's ship]  What do you say, buddy? You think you can get us in there? Because I'm not sure that you can.

  Rory McKenna : Nice reverse psychology. I can do that, too. Don't go fuck yourself.

• Traeger : Gentlemen, remember... they're large, they're fast and fucking you up is their idea of tourism.

• Traeger : Predators don't just sit around making hats out of rib cages. They conquered space.

• Rory McKenna : That's my dad. He's gonna come save me now.

  Traeger : Oh, is he? Is that what he's gonna do? I'll tell you what, buddy... if it is your daddy, and I truly hope that it is... he's gotta be just about the dumbest motherfucker I've ever met.

  [laughs] 

  Traeger : I mean, a Ranger sniper tripping wire sensors? He's gotta be...

  [realizes] 

  Traeger : ... creating a diversion. It's a fucking diversion.

• Traeger : [wearing the Predator shoulder cannon]  On Halloween, this blew up a whole house. How do you shoot it?

  Rory McKenna : You don't. It just fires by itself where it's being attacked.

  Traeger : Seriously? Oh, shit.

• Casey Bracket : What's on the ship?

  Traeger : I think you know what's on the ship. The ultimate predator.

• Traeger : Do you know what my job description is? I'm in acquisitions. I look up and I catch what falls out of the sky.
