Newt It won't make any difference.
[after the drop-ship crashes and explodes]
That's great. That's just **** great, man. Now what the **** are we supposed to do? We're in some real pretty shit now, man!
Are you finished?
Newt I guess we're not going to be leaving right now then?
I'm sorry, Newt.
Newt It wasn't your fault.
That's it! Game over, man! Game's over! What the **** are we gonna do now? What are we gonna do?
Maybe we could build a fire and sing couple of songs, huh?! Why don't we try that?!
Newt We'd better get back because it'll be dark soon, and they mostly come at night. Mostly.
Newt My mommy always said there were no monsters, no real ones. But there are.
Yes. Yes, there are.
Newt Why do they tell kids that?
Because most of the time it's true.
Movement. Signal's clean. Range twenty meters.
They found a way in, something we missed.
We didn't miss anything.
17 meters.
Something under the floor, not in the plans.
15 meters.
Newt Ripley.
Definitely inside the barricades.
13 meters.
That's right outside the door! Hicks, Vasquez, get back!
Man, this is a big **** signal!
How are you doing, Vasquez? Talk to me!
That's it! Keep it up!
12 meters. 11, 10...
They're right on top of us!
9 meters.
Remember: short, controlled bursts.
8 meters. 7, 6...
They can't be. That's inside the room.
It's reading right, man! Look!
Well then you're not reading it right!
5 meters, man! What the hell?! [Looks up along with the rest as they realize they're in the ceiling] ... Oh shit... oh ****...
Newt Can I dream?
Yes, honey. I think we both can. Sleep tight.
Newt Affirmative.
I don't know how you managed to stay alive. But you're one brave kid, Rebecca.
Newt Newt.
What'd you say?
Newt Newt. My name is Newt. Nobody calls me Rebecca except my brother.
Newt? I like that. I'm Ripley. It's nice to meet you. And who is this?
Newt Casey.
Hello, Casey. What about your brother? What's his name?
Newt Timmy.
Is Timmy around here too? Maybe hiding like you were? [Newt doesn't answer] Any sisters? [Newt shakes her head] Mom and Dad? [Newt nods] Newt. Look at me. Where are they?
Newt They're dead, all right? Can I go now?
I'm sorry, Newt. Don't you think you'd be safer here with us? [Newt shakes her head] These people are here to protect you. They're soldiers.
Newt It won't make any difference.
[Ripley is putting Newt to bed in the med bay]
Last stop. Get in. [Newt lies down on the bed] Scoot down. That's good. Now, you lie here and have a nap. You're very tired.
Newt I don't want to. I have scary dreams.
Well, I bet Casey doesn't have scary dreams. Let's take a look. [holds up Casey] Nope. Nothing bad in there. See? Maybe you could try to be just like her, hmm?
Newt Ripley, she doesn't have bad dreams because she's just a piece of plastic.
Newt My mommy always said there were no monsters, no real ones, but there are.
Yes, there are, aren't there?
Newt Why do they tell little kids that?
Most of the time it's true.
Newt Did one of those things grow inside her?
I don't know, Newt. That's the truth.
Newt Isn't that how babies come? I mean, people babies? They grow inside you.
Newt Did you ever have a baby?
Yes, I did. I had a little girl.
Newt Where is she?
She's gone.
Newt You mean dead.
Here. Take this. [gives Newt her wristwatch] For luck. There's that. [switches off the light]
Newt [grabs Ripley's arm]
Don't go, please.
Newt, I'm gonna be right in the next room. And you see that camera right up there? [points to security camera] I can see you right through that camera, all the time to see if you're safe. I'm not gonna leave you, Newt. I mean that. That's a promise.
Newt You promise?
I cross my heart.
Newt And hope to die?
And hope to die. [Newt hugs her, Ripley kisses her on the cheek] Now, go to sleep, and don't dream.
