Alien Nation (film)

Alien Nation is a 1988 science fiction action film about an extraterrestrial race that crash-lands on Earth and tries to integrate into human society. The story acts as a metaphor for immigration, prejudice, and social assimilation. Directed by Graham Baker. Written by Rockne S. O'Bannon. Dialogue [Commenting on a "human" condom] Det. Samuel 'George' Francisco: And that fits? Det. Sgt. Matthew Sykes: Yeah, only it's made of rubber. It stretches. Det. Samuel 'George' Francisco: And still it fits? Cassandra: Tell me the truth. Have you ever... made it with one of us? Det. Sgt. Matthew Sykes: Um... no. Unless I got drunk and somebody didn't tell me. Cassandra: Mm. A virgin. I find that very arousing. You sure you haven't? Det. Sgt. Matthew Sykes: Um... There's lots of things I haven't done. That's... not real high on my list. No... you know. Don't take it personally. I'm a bigot. Det. Samuel 'George' Francisco: You humans are very curious to us. You invite us to live in an atmosphere of equality that we've never known before. You let us own our own lives for the first time and you ask no more of us than you do of yourselves. I hope you understand how special your world is, how unique a people you humans are. Which is why it is all the more painful and confusing to us that so few of you seem capable of living up to the ideals you set for yourselves.
