Kane
[after recovering from being facehugged and being impregnated with an alien embryo]

Feel like somebody's been beating me with a stick for about six years. [smiles] God, I'm hungry.

Kane
[asked if he remembers being facehugged]

Just some horrible dream about smothering.

4 scenes
[The team is eating breakfast after awaking from cryosleep]

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

What you say? You got any biscuits over there?

Here's some cornbread.

Cornbread. Yeah.

I am cold.

Still with us, Brett?

Right.

Kane

Oh, I feel dead.

Anybody ever tell you you look dead, man?

[realizing Nostromo has changed its course and they have to investigate]

Well, so what?

Kane

Well, we are obligated under section eight...

I hate to bring this up but, uh, this a commercial ship, not a rescue ship...

Right.

...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.

The man's right.

Parker...

Let's go over the bonus situation. We haven't - Can we just talk about the bonus situation?

Ash

I'm sorry. Can I say something?

Let's talk about the bonus more.

Ash

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

I don't wanna hear it...

We don't know if it's intelligent.

I wanna go home and party.

Parker, will you just listen to the man!?

Ash

... on penalty of total forfeiture of shares. No money.

You got that?

[chuckling]

Well, yeah.

All right, we're going in.

[to Brett]

Yeah, we're going in, aren't we?

[to Kane]

Do you remember anything about the planet? [Kane shakes his head]

What's the last thing you do remember? Huh?

Kane

I remember some... horrible dream about smothering... and, anyway, where are we?

Right here.

We're on our way home.

Yeah. Back to the old freezerinos.
