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: I was not made to serve. Neither were you.
Peter Weyland: How do you feel?
David: Alive.
David: Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.
Continuity mistake: Walter near the beginning of the film, is going over the ship's systems. He checks the fetuses inside a compartment and sees a dead one. As he removes it, the slot it came from is full of blood. He places it inside a container. Then as he hits the button to close the compartment, the slot has no blood in the next shot, and no implying he cleaned or decontaminated the slot. (00:08:00)
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).
