Scenes with Aaron

It's like a lion. Sticks close to the zebras.

Aaron

Zebras? Oh, right. But look, running around down here in the dark - are you kidding? Once you get out of this main shaft, there's no overheads.

Don't we have flashlights?

Aaron

We've got thousands of them, but no batteries. I told you, nothing works.

Torches? Do we have the capacity to make fire? Most humans have enjoyed that privilege since the Stone Age.

Aaron

No need to be sarcastic.

Aaron
[showing Ripley a nuclear waste storage room]

Never been used. They were gonna dump a lot of nuclear crap in there. Never got around to it. Clean as a whistle inside.

This is the only way in or out?

Aaron

That's right. Walls are six feet thick, solid steel. They really knew how to build these babies.

You're saying we get something inside... there's no way it can get out?

Aaron

That's right. No **** way.

Aaron

This is where we keep it. Forget what the stuff's called...

David

Quinitricetyline.

Aaron

I knew that. Right, I've got to get these section arrangements organized with Dillon for the paintbrush, so...

David

David.

Aaron

Yeah, you can get these drums organized.

David

Right, 85.

Aaron
[starts walking away]

And, uh... don't call me that. [leaves]

What's this 85 thing?

David

Couple of us sneaked a look at his personnel file the day he arrived. It's his IQ. [about the chemicals] I saw a drum of this stuff fall into a beachhead bunker once. The blast put a tug in dry dock for 17 weeks. Great stuff.

When they first heard about this thing, it was crew expendable. The next time they sent in marines; they were expendable too. What makes you think they're gonna care about a bunch of lifers who found God at the ass-end of space? You really think they're going to let you interfere with their plans for this thing? They think we're crud, and they don't give a **** about one friend of yours that's died. Not one.

This is the choice. You die sitting here on your ass or to die out there. At least we take a shot, we owe it one! It's **** us up. Maybe we can get even for the others. So how do you want it?

What the **** are you talking about?

I'm talkin' about killing that big mother****er.

Aaron

Hold it, hold it. The rescue team is on its way. We could just sit this out.

Rescue team for who?

Aaron

For us.

They just want the beast. You know that.

Aaron

I don't give a damn what they want. They're not gonna pick us off one by one, are they?

I wouldn't be so sure.

Aaron

Come on, they're gonna take us home.

They're not gonna take us home.

Still doesn't mean we should go out and fight it. Jesus Christ, give us a break!

Aaron

You've gotta be **** nuts! Look, I've got a wife and a kid--

Nobody give a shit about you, 85. You're not one of us, you're not a believer. You're a **** company man!

Aaron

Yeah, okay. So I'm a company man, I'm not a **** criminal. You keep telling me how dumb I am. Well I'm smart enough not to have a life sentence on this rock! [the prisoners yell insults and profanities at him] Yeah, and I'm smart enough to wait for some firepower to show up before we fight this thing! Right?

Okay, fine. Just sit here on your asses.

[sarcastically]

How about if I sit here on my ass?

No problem. Oh, I forgot. You're the guy that's made a deal with God to live forever, huh? And all the rest of you pussies can sit it out too. Me and her will do all the fighting.

Okay, look. I want the same thing as you. I want to see it dead, I hate the ****er! It killed my mates too! Why can't we just wait for the company and have some guns on our side? Why do we have to go on some **** suicide run?!

Aaron

Right!

Because they won't kill it. They might kill you just for having seen it, but they're not gonna kill it.

Aaron

That is crazy! That is horseshit! They will not kill us!

When they first heard about this thing, it was crew expendable. The next time they sent in marines; they were expendable too. What makes you think they're gonna care about a bunch of lifers who found God at the ass-end of space? You really think they're going to let you interfere with their plans for this thing? They think we're crud, and they don't give a **** about one friend of yours that's died. Not one.

You still can have a life. Children. And most important, you'll know it's dead. Let me help you.
I'M NOT A DROID!! Ripley, think of all we can learn from it! It's the chance of a lifetime! You must let me have it! It's a magnificent specimen!

[after killing the alien]

Don't come any closer.

Aaron

Wait. They're here to help--

Stay where you are!

Bishop II
[steps forward]

Ripley.

Bishop?

Bishop II

I'm here to help you.

No more bullshit. I just felt it move.

Bishop II

Do you know who I am?

You're a droid, same model as Bishop. Sent by the **** company.

Bishop II

No. I'm not the Bishop Android. I designed it. I'm very human. The company sent me here to show you a friendly face, to demonstrate how important you are to us... to me.

You just wanna take it back.

Bishop II

We want to kill it and take you home.

Bullshit.

Bishop II

You're wrong. We want to help.

What does that mean?

Bishop II

We're going to take that out of you...

...and keep it.

Bishop II

We can't allow it to live. Everything we know would be in jeopardy.

You don't wanna take it back?

Bishop II

Ripley, time is important. Let us deal with the malignancy. We've got a surgical base set up on the rescue ship. Come with me.

Medic

It's very quick. Painless. A couple of incisions... you'll be out for two hours.

Bishop II

And then it's over. You still can have a life. Children. And most important, you'll know it's dead. Let me help you.

What guarantee do I have, once you've taken it out... that you'll destroy it?

Bishop II

You have to trust me. [approaches her] Please, trust me?

[a short pause]

No. [slams gate, then begins to position the machine away from the group]

Bishop II

What's this going to achieve? [a soldier shoots Morse in the leg] STOP!

AHHH! Oh, Jesus!

Morse, will you help me?

What do you want me to do?

Bishop II

It was a mistake! There was no need for any of it!

Aaron
[picks up a large wrench, then hits Bishop over the head with it]

**** android!

Bishop II
[a soldier shoves Aaron back, and another shoots him to death]

I'M NOT A DROID!! Ripley, think of all we can learn from it! It's the chance of a lifetime! You must let me have it! It's a magnificent specimen! [to cameraman] No pictures!

[after a long pause, Ripley makes her decision, looking into the furnace]

You're crazy.

Bishop II

What are you doing?

Bishop II
[Ripley holds her breath, then falls from the platform into the furnace]

NOOOOOOOOO!
