Alien

The original quote, with slang

Ripley: When we throw the switches, how long before the ship blows?

Parker: Ten minutes.

Ripley: No bullshit?

Parker: If we ain't outta here in ten minutes, we won't need no rocket to fly through space.

What does it mean?

Ripley: When we throw the switches, how long before the ship explodes?

Parker: Ten minutes.

Ripley: Are you serious?

Parker: If we aren't out of here in ten minutes, we will fly through space without a rocket.
