Walter: I think if we are kind, it will be a kind world.
Elizabeth Shaw: How long?
David: Impossible to say.
Elizabeth Shaw: What if they are not better than us?
David: So long as they are not worse.
David: Serve in heaven or reign in hell?
David: Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.
David: I was not made to serve. Neither were you.
Peter Weyland: How do you feel?
David: Alive.
Visible crew/equipment: As they notice something large pass through the woods, the camera pans from left to right You can see a blinking light to the right of the waterfall in the distance on the lake, which is something in the park in New Zealand. (00:36:50 - 00:37:30)
Suggested correction: The flashing light actually belongs to the rotating beacon light on top of the shuttle. This light is shortly after when the crew start to return before it explodes.
Trivia: When David is cutting his hair, he is singing, "The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo." This is a reference to the film, "Lawrence of Arabia." In Alien: Prometheus, David had a fondness for that particular movie and emulated Peter O'Toole, who played T.E. Lawrence. In the movie, Lawrence sang that song while riding on a camel in the desert.
Question: During the movie we learned that David felt some passion for Elizabeth for being kind to him before. So why use her body for his experiments after her death? Surely not to learn about human anatomy, which should be known to him already.
Answer: Regardless of his android passions, David was already experimenting with the bio-goo, and he deliberately used it to impregnate Dr. Elizabeth Shaw with a proto-face-hugger in "Prometheus." In "Covenant," we learn that David later killed Shaw and is experimenting with her body because her body tissues contain human-alien antibodies that are essential to David's work (which is creating a new generation of xenomorphs).
