What does Newt say at the end of Aliens? - Woman in Black Leather Jacket Sitting on Brown Wooden Floor

At the very end of Aliens. After Ripley has blown the queen alien out the airlock, and she climbs up over the edge of the airlock door. Newt jumps into her arms and says something.

It sounds either like "Hold me" or "Mommy".

They both sound correct after listening to it a few times, but it seems more relevant to Ripley's character if she actually said "Mommy".



Best Answer

The line is indeed Mommy, as you can see from the script in scene 199:
