No, previous to that quote is something along the lines of:
"Oh yeah.. it's cute now, but soon there will be hundres of 'em, and they will get nasty... and mean... and all hell will break loose!"
Then one of them starts to get all soft over a lame one and begins to break cover and walk out towards it all doe-eyed over how cute and frail it looks...
So a crew member grabs her, rips her back behind cover and asks her that line. - You'd have to see the movie - it is a real crackup for sci-fi and anti-sci-fi buffs alike.
