‘Twinkle, twinkle, little star.’
‘You still don’t know what you’re dealing with do you? Perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility.’
(Deleted Scene) Dallas: Ki-i-i-ill…. me-e-e-e-e-e…..
*Then why don’t we draw straws?
*I’m not for drawing any straws. I’m for killing that goddamn thing.
–Ash, can you hear me?
–Yes, I can hear you.
1) Ash?! Any suggestions from you or Mother?
2) No, we’re still collating.
1) [laughing in disbelief] You what? You’re still collating? I find that hard to believe.
2) What would you like me to do?
1) Just what you’ve been doing Ash, nothing!
1) It seems Mother intercepted a transmission and got us up to check it out. 2) What kind of transmission?
1) Something has attached itself to him. We have to get him to the infirmary right away. 2) What kind of thing? I need a clear definition. 1) An organism. Open the hatch!
2) Wait a minute. If we let it in, the ship could be infected. You know the quarantine procedure. Twenty-four hours for decontamination.
1) He could die in twenty-four hours. Open the hatch!
2) Listen to me, if we break quarantine, we could all die.
3) Could you open the god-damned hatch? We have to get him inside.
2) No! I can’t do that and if you were in my position, you’d do the same.
1) Ripley, this is an order. Open that hatch right now, do you hear me?
2) Yes.
1) Ripley! This is an order! Do you hear me?
2) Yes. I read you. The answer is negative.
1/ Parker, what do you think?… you staff just follows you around everywhere just saying right all the time…. like a regular parrot
2/ Yeah… shape up, man!… what are ya?.. some kind of parrot!?
1/ You still don’t know what you’re dealing with, do you? The perfect organism….. It’s structural perfection is matched only by it’s hostility.
2/ You admire it.
1/ I admire it’s purity, it’s sense of survival; unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality
3/ I’ve heard enough and I’m asking you to pull the plug.
1/ One more thing….. I can’t lie to you about your chances, but… you have my sympathies
Ripley: Whenever he says *anything* you say ‘right,’ Brett, you know that?
Brett: Right.
Ripley: Parker, what do you think? Your staff just follows you around and says ‘right’, like a regular parrot.
Parker: [laughs] Yeah, shape up. What are you some kind of parrot?
Brett: Right.

Get out of the way, Lambert!

I sure wouldn’t mind some of that auterian poontang!
Sure, but the last one you had was a man!
In space no one can hear you scream.
It happens, my dear, because that’s the way the company wants it to happen
It seems to have life.
It seems to have life?
Kane: Oh, I feel dead.
Parker: Anybody ever tell you you look dead?
Lambert: You admire it.
Ash: I admire its purity. A survivor. Unclouded by conscious, remorse, or delusions of morality.
Lambert: I can’t see a goddamn thing.

My god!
Ohhhh…. It’s almost primordial. Inert nitrogen, a high concentration of carbon dioxide crystals, methane…trace elements…there’s rock, lava base, deep coal well below the line
Ripley: Ash, that transmission — Mother’s deciphered part of it. It doesn’t look like an S.O.S.
Ash: What is it, then?
Ripley: Well, I, it looks like a warning. I’m gonna go out after them.
Ash: 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?
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.
