Ash, can you hear me?
– Ripley
[slams her hands down on the table]
Ash?
– Ripley
[awakens and starts speaking in an electronic and distorted voice] Yes, I can hear you.
– Ash
What was your special order?
– Ripley
You read it. I thought it was clear.
– Ash
What was it?
– Ripley
Bring back life form. Priority One. All other priorities rescinded.
– Ash
The damn company. What about our lives, you son of a bitch?
– Parker
I repeat, all other priorities are rescinded.
– Ash
How do we kill it, Ash? There’s gotta be a way of killing it. How? How do we do it?
– Ripley
You can’t.
– Ash
That’s bullshit.
– Parker
You still don’t understand what you’re dealing with, do you? Perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility.
– Ash
You admire it.
– Lambert
I admire its purity. A survivor… unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality.
– Ash
Look, I am… I’ve heard enough of this, and I’m asking you to pull the plug.
– Parker
[Ripley goes to disconnect Ash, who interrupts]
Last word.
– Ash
What?
– Ripley
I can’t lie to you about your chances, but… you have my sympathies.
– Ash
