Okay, I think in the script it is "Drake, We Are Leaving!" but it has been misquoted for decades as "Marines, We Are Leaving!". The misquote has become so iconic and been reused and referenced many other places, that it may as well be canon. As a result, I consider both equally valid
Actually, this line wasn't in the original script. But more importantly, if you watch the scene in slow motion you can see frame by frame his mouth forms one syllable not two. It's Drake. Which makes sense as only Vasquez & Drake were behind him and she was close enough to see where Hicks was going. Drake was further back and didn't see where the APC came in. Hicks wanted to make sure Drake knew it was time to go.
@@TheHopegiver My point was more that the line has been generally quoted as "Marines, We Are Leaving" which is an example of the Mandela Effect, that the incorrect quote has become so widespread and iconic
@@potatoes3075 Like when they asked John Lennon why he had the band chant "everybody smokes pot" at the ending of I Am The Walrus, and he replied, "The chant is actually saying 'everybody's got one'.

I didn't realise there was a debate about who he was addressing here. I don't know what he says in the script, but in the movie he's clearly shouting "MARINES!".
The script was Drake we are leaving not marines we are leaving (the blond hair marine is drake) but it was mistaken for marines in that scene if you look at the movie subtitles it says drake
now I'm sad...this was one of the favs regarding this movie....I am sad.... but wait... just this second I realised that I'm in a pipe 5 by 5...eat this!!!!! (Michael Biehn is just ....)
Marines we are leaving is a much more iconic line. It works better too. The APC wasn't even supposed to be there. Ripley brought it to them and rescued them. I always felt it was his way of telling the rest of the squad that help is right here. And it works better too because it can be used generally, not just to Drake. There are so many iconic lines in this movie that you just assume it's another well timed and iconic line. Drake makes perfect sense. But Marines sounds better.
Drake, we're leaving! The rest of you stay here, we'll be right back. We forgot something in the APC. I heard "marines, we are leaving!" It just doesn't make any sense that he would be addressing Drake and not the whole squad.
The "squad"? They were down to 4 people, and you can remove Hicks, and since Hicks was holding Hudson, now 2. Pretty sure Vasquez confirmed the retreat order by saying let's go before, and Drake was the one that was in the back and bloodlusted
I remember hearing this in an episode of Star Wars The Clone Wars where Captain Rex calls out to his men saying they're leaving in a similar yelling fashion
Literally what i shouted when i was evacuating my team in "Aliens Dark Descent", while there is mission 3, xenomorphs luring around, alien agressiveness is high as f, they have spotted you, and your team is stressing out.
Never saw the movie, had no idea there was a major character named Drake. I saw this clip posted on someone’s video commentary about gaming strategy, and the line was quoted as “Marines”. But even without any context, I clearly heard “Drake” I came here to find out why I heard “Drake”. Now I know why. Because that is clearly what he said. What the script says, or what the closed captions say, or what the director’s commentary says is all nice to discuss, but none of that changes the fact that this actor said “Drake” in this recording.
Now you can! After years of minimal Aliens clips someone finally done it and uploaded the entire scene on youtube. ruclips.net/video/IySXgTv3eU4/видео.html
Come on! Let's go! Let's go! It's blocked, man! We got to go around! Open the door! Hicks! Drake! We are leaving! Get them, Vas! Run for it! Shit! - Let's go! - Drake, come on, man! Drake, come on! Read more: www.springfieldspringfield.co.uk/movie_script.php?movie=aliens
Has anybody ever asked Michael Biehn if he remembers what he said? Or found an original script? This is the ORIGINAL white dress/ blue dress, Yanny/ Loreal debate, except it's never been solved, and I'd really like to know. (FWIW, I always thought it was Marines (still do), but I can hear Drake on replay).
It's crazy. I could have sworn I was siding with the "Marines, we are leaving" group a few years past until I recently watched the clip and heard the line again. Now I feel like Hicks is indeed saying "Drake, we are leaving". So I tried to lip read what Hicks is saying and the shape of his mouth seems to suggest Drake. Unfortunately there is versions of the film with both "Drake" and "Marines" used in the subtitles so there may never be a concrete answer. Hear what you want to hear, and tbh it doesn't impact the film too much.
Weird. To me it's very clearly "Drake !" and in context of the scene that makes most sense for me too (Drake is at the rear absorbed in the action so he's the one that specifically needs to hear it and after the line the next thing we hear is Drake firing and yelling - in other words the narrative focus passes from Hicks to Drake). The idea that it's "Marines !" is brand new to me, didn't even realise there was a debate until 5 minutes ago.
What the script or subtitles say is not important. It's what the actor says and that's 'Drake'. The word marines has two syllables and the shape his mouth makes is clearly one. R.I.P to this debate. 😆
trha2222 The subtitles are wrong. He clearly says, "DRAKE! We are leaving"; because Drake was last in line and worried more about shooting than getting the hell out.
He's saying "Drake", not "marines". Although I swear the first time I ever saw the movie, I was certain it was "marines". Perhaps this clip simply has better sound quality to it.
It's always been "drake we are leaving" to me, he's looking bad towards Drake who is bringing up the rear. Even the audio (whilst heavily droned out by gunfire) you can head the "ke" at the end of Drake, I believe people hear marines mainly because of the misquote, its like the Mandela effect

LOL. This is our D&D group's code word for get the hell out of dodge, or be left behind...
In D&D, you'd think the party would be shouting "WE ARE LEAVING THE DRAKE!"
Literally just happened during my session.
"On your feet soldier, *WE ARE LEAVING* "
On your feet Marine, WE ARE LEAVING!

@@weldonwin I've have never heard anyone say marines until the past few days. Timelines must have merged
@@mickddp same with me, I've never heard marines we are leaving
Oh shit I always heard marines until I read the comments
Marines we are leaving is so much better than Drake we are leaving.
Hicks said Drake tho
Not really. They knew they were leaving...all except Drake.
So much better!
Cake! It is pleasing!
LOL- my new favorite line.
Well according to my dvd subtitles, it’s “marines.”
I believe its really "Drake ,we are leaving!" I thought it was marines all these years as well.
The audio is so garbled for that ONE specific word, that we can actually just call it whatever we like and it wouldn’t be wrong.
@@potatoes3075 If you listen closely, there’s an S at the very end of the persons he’s calling to.

Well, your DVD subtitle was written by a hard of hearing person who didn't have access to the script.

I'm still reminded of that line constantly because of the way it's delivered
Major necro but another reference is the shotgun he pulls out to breach the door. "I like to keep this for close encounters"
Fuck. I always thought the line was "Marines, we are leaving!" but now all I hear is "Drake, we are leaving!" Now I have to question my entire life.
You can switch between them too
Green dress I guess
I hear both as well
Even though I know it's drake, I still hear marines... I prefer it this way
before I knew there was a debate about what he was actually saying in this clip I heard him saying 'briggs we are leaving'
You're hard of hearing then.
I think in the script it was Drake, but Micheal Biehns voice just sounded weird with the soundtrack
Out of context, this is such hilarious line. Buddy, that is what we call an "understatement".
Dam, I wish I could act in a film as cool as this.
ON YOUR FEET SOLDIER,WE,ARE,LEAVING
I am in denial it will always be marines we are leaving to me
Slippers! My feet are freezing!
MARINES! WE ARE LEAVING!
We are leaving
- captain price - 2007 or 2016
And 2019
I didn't realise there was a debate about who he was addressing here. I don't know what he says in the script, but in the movie he's clearly shouting "MARINES!".
The script was Drake we are leaving not marines we are leaving (the blond hair marine is drake) but it was mistaken for marines in that scene if you look at the movie subtitles it says drake
He said drake
"Drake! WE ARE LEAVING!" ―Hicks, to Drake
+Slathe The Space Marine Space Marines never leave. Except burned earth and corpses.
"David! We are leaving!" Halloway to David
Drake's already dead by that point, isnt he? Also i clearly hear an s at the end of the first word.
This basically what it's like every time my friends do a bad engage 5v5 in League of Legends....
damnit it does say drake. way uncool, "MARINES...we are leaving!!!!" is so much more badass..fuck that just ruined that scene for me.
I always thought it was "MARINES", too. And yes, it does sound much more badass. Phooey.
now I'm sad...this was one of the favs regarding this movie....I am sad.... but wait... just this second I realised that I'm in a pipe 5 by 5...eat this!!!!! (Michael Biehn is just ....)
The scene is still badass. Cpl. Hicks knew Drake would be on a rampage, but they had to get out of there.
Marines we are leaving is a much more iconic line. It works better too. The APC wasn't even supposed to be there. Ripley brought it to them and rescued them.

Me after booting up the Colonial Marines disc
When you discover the passport bros movement
Whatever it is, I will remember it as Marines we are leaving, as it sounds better.
the much debated line IS actually "Drake we are leaving" but what's cut out is he continues "just hold on we're going home"
WTF?..I have always thought it was marines we are leaving since I saw this in the 1980’s ..I feel like my whole childhood was fake!!!
Drake, we're leaving! The rest of you stay here, we'll be right back. We forgot something in the APC.
I heard "marines, we are leaving!" It just doesn't make any sense that he would be addressing Drake and not the whole squad.
The "squad"? They were down to 4 people, and you can remove Hicks, and since Hicks was holding Hudson, now 2. Pretty sure Vasquez confirmed the retreat order by saying let's go before, and Drake was the one that was in the back and bloodlusted
Drake was too much into fighting, so Hicks needed to make sure he knows that they are escaping so he do not fall behind
I like how hicks is dragging a half out of it Hudson and stops to make sure drake knows the rides here
I remember hearing this in an episode of Star Wars The Clone Wars where Captain Rex calls out to his men saying they're leaving in a similar yelling fashion
Things he could’ve said:
Marines
Drake
Dreg
Greg
You forgot Briggs
Brake
Or Break
Captain price-"we are leaving"
It’s Drake!!!
Hicks is telling him to get your a$$ over here!!! 🤣
"Drake, we are leaving!"
Draaaaaake, we are leaaav-ving!
sounds more like "briggs"
I always thought this was "Marines we are leaving". And when Hicks shouts "Wierzbowski!" I thought he was shouting "Where's Vasquy? Where's Vasquez?"
what he isn't saying wheres vasqui? Well what do you know, you learn something everyday .
When I was a kid I thought he was saying "where's Bowski?"
@@FilthTribeFTP literally thought the exact same thing
"Where's Bowski?!"
Ragitsu I thought that too, my 8 year old ass was like “wait there’s a Bowski too?”

Sure its Drake no doubt best movie !
ah, so you came from matt colville too
Sounds like both, but both works
I don't even know why there's a debate!?! It's SO OBVIOUS hicks shouts "GREG! WE ARE LEAVING!"
the mind is glitchy
No wonder Captain Price would make such inspiration from this, and Captain Rex as well
lol this is one of those lines that are so debatable.
Except it's not when the script reads as
"Drake! WE ARE LEAVING!"
at that part, and the actor remembers saying that line. ;)
aerohurtz haha well if Hicks says he said "Drake" then I guess he said Drake. That or I'll have to check the subtitles from my aliens dvd collection

www.imdb.com/title/tt0090605/quotes
trha2222 No it doesn't. ;)
No it doesn't, and I should know. I took off and nuked the site from orbit, the only way to be sure.
I always thought he said “Briggs we are leaving!” , but then i always get the lyrics wrong on old rock and roll songs also…
Vasquez was rage how Hicks left Drake... but as soon as that Xeno tried crawling into the APC..
*MARINES, WE ARE EATING*
Drake we are leaving

He wasn't going to fall back now, not when he was just getting his kill-streak on
Also, if you ever have a doubt about leaving someone behind, and a devil monster tries to break into the APC, F it all.
It’s, “Drake, we are leaving!”.
navajas rs you right, I don't hear the S at the end of marines meaning hicks would be addressing a single marine instead of the platoon
WE ARE LEEEEEEEEEE-VIIIIIIING
Can't count the number of times I've said this playing Mass Effect

Is there anywhere on youtube where I can watch the entire battle scene from start to finish?

It´s Drake we are leaving what a question ? u never heard of subtitels it´s clear Drake !
yall this isnt mandela effect the sound quality is just bad lol
Not even close to marines... it's Drake and only a tin ear couldn't distinguish that listening to it a few times.

Not the lt Gorman fault.
Blame Burke carter j
🦇🦉🦅
it's "Drake, we are leaving!" not Marines.
Definitely sounds like there's an "S" on the end...gonna go with marines!
GAYS!!!! WE ARE LEAVING
Guys, I can confirm it is “Marines we are leaving”
Jfc ...i dont care if he says drake.
keep replaying you hear drake
It's Drake, we are leaving! Love this movie
Despite the misquote...
Imagine if Drake survived the initial battle. Game over for the aliens.
He's saying "Drake", not "marines". Although I swear the first time I ever saw the movie, I was certain it was "marines". Perhaps this clip simply has better sound quality to it.
I hear "Marines, we are leaving." I clearly hear an M at the beginning.
