When you see the moon, do you ever feel like howling at it? Yes, all the time. What hold you back? It wouldn't hear me. In space, no one can hear you howl.
It was never a line in a movie; the line’s only association with Alien is from the advertizing (posters * TV spots). And given how much of Heinlein’s work was published in Boy’s Life, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if that’s how Rover knows about how sound works (or not) in a vacuum.
