Why don’t you just fuck off?

Just what you’ve been doing, Ash, nothing.

Actor:

Character:

You were gonna leave us out there!

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

Well, as I said, I’m still…collating, actually, but uh, I have confirmed that he’s got an outer layer of protein polysaccharides. Has a funny habit of shedding his cells and replacing them with polarized silicon, which gives him a prolonged resistance to adverse environmental conditions. Is that enough?

We don’t know if it’s intelligent.

An organism. Open the hatch.

As most of you may know, we’re not home yet. We’re only halfway there. Mother’s interrupted our journey for she’s programed to do so unless things change. Things have changed. It seems that she has…intercepted a transmission of unknown origin. She got us up to check it out.

Uh, yes, it is. Umm. I don’t know yet. Did you want something?

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

The damn company. What about our lives, you son of a bitch?

Character:

Brett and I, we think we oughta – we deserve full shares, right baby?

Get out of the room!

Movie:

Actor:

Please don’t do that. Thank you.

Alien life form. Looks like it’s been dead a long time. Fossilized. Looks like it’s growing out of the chair.

Actor:

Character:

I found it. Just short of Zeta II Reticuli. We haven’t reached the Outer Rim yet.

Actor:

Character:

I repeat, all other priorities are rescinded.

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

What kind of thing? I need a clear definition.

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

You don’t know that.

We have Parker. Can Brett be far behind?

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

Ash, are you kidding? This thing bled acid. Who knows what it’s gonna do when it’s dead?

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

Final report of the commercial starship Nostromo, third officer reporting. The other members of the crew, Kane, Lambert, Parker, Brett, Ash and Captain Dallas, are dead. Cargo and ship destroyed. I should reach the frontier in about six weeks. With a little luck, the network will pick me up. This is Ripley, last survivor of the Nostromo, signing off.

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

There is a clause in the contract which specifically states any systematized transmission indicating a possible intelligent origin must be investigated.

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

Look, could you open the god-damned hatch? We have to get him inside.

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

You’re what? You’re still collating? I find that hard to believe.

Actor:

Character:

Oh, I see, you just broke it. Hmm?

Actor:

Character:

He’s holding, no changes.

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

Anybody ever tell you you look dead, man?

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

You read it. I thought it was clear.

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

Let’s talk about the bonus more.

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

Whenever he says anything you say right Brett, you know that?

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

Ash. When Dallas and Kane are off the ship, I’m Senior Officer.

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

Yes, but everybody else, uh, gets more than us.

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

Ash. Any suggestions from you or Mother?

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

Maybe I should have left him outside. Maybe I’ve jeopardized the rest of us, but it was a risk I was willing to take.

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

Ripley, this is an order. Open that hatch right now, do you hear me?

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

What’s the point? I mean by the, the time it takes to get there, you’ll…they’ll know if it’s a warning or not, yes?

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

Uh, before we dock, I think we oughta discuss the bonus situation.

I don’t wanna hear it…

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

I’m sorry. Can I say something?

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

…and it’s not in my contract to do this kind of duty. Now what about the money? If you wanna give me some money to do it, I’ll be happy to, uh, t-to, you know, oblige.

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

Now, this air shaft may work to our advantage. Here. It leads up to and comes out in the main airlock. All right, there’s only one big opening along the way, we can cover that up, and then we…drive it into the airlock and zap it into outer space.

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

Come on, Ash, I mean, the Science Department should be able to help us. What can we do to drive it?

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

Well, it’s an interesting combination of elements making him a…tough little son-of-a-bitch.

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

That’s a pretty big risk for a Science Officer. It’s, uh, not exactly out of the manual, is it?

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

So, um, we think we should discuss the bonus situation…

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

Even if it’s against the law?

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

Ash, can you hear me? Ash?

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

Actor:

Character:

Micro changes in air density, my ass.

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

I think it’s safe to assume it isn’t a zombie.

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

I do take my responsibilities as seriously as you, you know. You do your job and let me do mine, yes?

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

Unfortunately, by, uh, breaking quarantine, you risk everybody’s life.

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

Brett, you’re guaranteed by law to get a share.

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

Yes, I can hear you.

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

It’s a robot. Ash is a god damn robot.

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

Well, I…it looks like a warning. I’m gonna go out after them.

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

What was your special order?

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

Still with us, Brett?

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

Uh, what’d you say, Rip?

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

Well, we are obligated under section eight…

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

How do we kill it Ash? There’s gotta be a way of killing it. How? How do we do it?

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

What you say? You got any biscuits over there?

Actor:

Character:

He could die in twenty-four hours. Open the hatch.

Oh, I feel dead.

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

And you let him in.

Actor:

Actor:

Character:

Here’s some cornbread.

Actor:

Character:

Will you listen to me, Parker? Shut up!

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

A transmission? Out here in remote space?

Actor:

Character:

I wanna go home and party.

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

Oh, Mother says the sun’s coming up in twenty minutes

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

Alright. Ripley, when I give an order I expect to be obeyed.

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

Listen to me, if we break quarantine, we could all die.

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

No. I can’t do that and if you were in my position, you’d do the same.

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

Primordal…deep cold…way below the line…

Actor:

Character:

I can’t see a goddamn thing.

This is the worst shit I’ve ever seen, man.

OK, what about temperature? What happens if we change it?

Character:

If you have any trouble, I’ll be on the bridge.

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

There is an explanation for this, you know.

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

I don’t trust him.

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

Look, what would you have done with Kane, hmm? You know his only chance of survival was to get him in here.

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

Mother! I’ve turned the cooling unit back on. Mother!

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

I can’t lie to you about your chances, but…you have my sympathies.

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

Something has attached itself to him. We have to get him to the infirmary right away.

Actor:

Character:

No, we’re still collating.

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

Here kitty, kitty, kitty. Meaow. Here Jonesy.

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

Bring back life form. Priority One. All other priorities rescinded.

Ripley, for God’s sake, this is the first time that we’ve encountered a species like this. It has to go back. All sorts of tests have to be made.

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

You still don’t understand what you’re dealing with, do you? Perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility.

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

How? This son of a bitch is huge! I mean, it’s like a man; it’s…it’s big!

Movie:

Actor:

Character:

I admire its purity. A survivor…unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality.

Actor:

Character:
