Ellen Ripley I will be damned if I'm going to let those idiots from Weyland-Yutani take it back to Earth. They just might succeed, and that would be it for the rest of mankind. Maybe for all life on the planet. I don't see why these things wouldn't be able to reproduce in any animal of a size larger than, say, a cat.
Give us strength, O' Lord, to endure. We recognize that we are poor sinners in the hands of an angry God. Let the circle be unbroken until the day. Amen. What the **** is happening here? What the **** is this bullshit that's coming down? We got a murder. We got a rape. We got brothers in trouble. I DON'T WANT NO MORE BULLSHIT AROUND HERE!! NOW WE'VE GOT PROBLEMS!! WE STAND TOGETHER!!

Andrews Yes. Thank you, Mr. Dillon. All right. Once again, this is rumor control. Here are the facts. At 0800 hours, prisoner Murphy, through carelessness on his part, was found dead in vent shaft 17. He seems to have been sucked into a ventilator fan. At about 2100 hours, prisoner Golic reappeared in a deranged state. Prisoners Boggs and Rains are missing. There seems to be a good chance that they have met with foul play at the hands of prisoner Golic. We need to organize and send out a search party; volunteers will be appreciated. I think it's fair to say that our smoothly running facility has suddenly developed a few problems. I can only hope we are all able to pull together over the next few days until the rescue team arrives for Lieutenant Ripley.
Ripley It's here! It got Clemens!
Andrews Stop this raving at once! Stop it!
Ripley I'm telling you! It's here!
Andrews Aaron, get that foolish woman back to the infirmary!
...****!
Ripley It's like a lion. Sticks close to the zebras.
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.
Ripley Don't we have flashlights?
We've got thousands of them, but no batteries. I told you, nothing works.
Ripley Torches? Do we have the capacity to make fire? Most humans have enjoyed that privilege since the Stone Age.
No need to be sarcastic.
Never been used. They were gonna dump a lot of nuclear crap in there. Never got around to it. Clean as a whistle inside.
Ripley This is the only way in or out?
That's right. Walls are six feet thick, solid steel. They really knew how to build these babies.
Ripley You're saying we get something inside... there's no way it can get out?
That's right. No **** way.
This is where we keep it. Forget what the stuff's called...
David Quinitricetyline.
I knew that. Right, I've got to get these section arrangements organized with Dillon for the paintbrush, so...
David David.
Yeah, you can get these drums organized.
David Right, 85.
Ripley 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.
Your ass is already on the line. The only question is... what are you gonna do about it?
Why should I put my ass on the line for you?
Ripley Your ass is already on the line. The only question is... what are you gonna do about it?
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.
Hold it, hold it. The rescue team is on its way. We could just sit this out.
Ripley Rescue team for who?
For us.
Ripley They just want the beast. You know that.
I don't give a damn what they want. They're not gonna pick us off one by one, are they?
Ripley I wouldn't be so sure.
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!
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!
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.
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?!
Right!
Ripley Because they won't kill it. They might kill you just for having seen it, but they're not gonna kill it.
That is crazy! That is horseshit! They will not kill us!

Ripley Now!
What about you?
Ripley I'm staying.
Bullshit! There's gonna be ten tons of hot lead in here!
Ripley I'm telling you, I wanna die!
We got a deal, remember?! It dies first, then you! I'm not gonna move without you! Now get going!
Ripley Dillon!
I've gotta hold it here.
Ripley What about me?
God will take care of you now, sister!
Ripley No!
Pour the lead! [he takes off his glasses and turns to the alien] Just **** you. [the alien attacks him] Pour it, Ripley! Go on! God damn it! Pour the lead, Ripley! Pour it now! [to the alien] Come on! Come on! That's all you got? Is that as hard as you fight, mother****er?!
Ripley Morse! Over here!
Ripley!
Ripley Pour the lead! Pour the lead! [Morse positions the machine over the pit] Pour it!
[Dillon and the alien are drowned in molten lead]
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!
Ripley Don't come any closer.
Wait. They're here to help--
Ripley Stay where you are!
Bishop II Ripley.
Ripley Bishop?
Bishop II I'm here to help you.
Ripley No more bullshit. I just felt it move.
Bishop II Do you know who I am?
Ripley 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.
Ripley You just wanna take it back.
Bishop II We want to kill it and take you home.
Ripley Bullshit.
Bishop II You're wrong. We want to help.
Ripley What does that mean?
Bishop II We're going to take that out of you...
Ripley ...and keep it.
Bishop II We can't allow it to live. Everything we know would be in jeopardy.
Ripley 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.
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.
Ripley 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?
Ripley 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!
Ripley 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!
Bishop II 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!
Ripley You're crazy.
Bishop II What are you doing?
Bishop II NOOOOOOOOO!
