Ripley
You never said anything about android being aboard, why not?
[to Burke, agitated]
Burke
It never... never occurred to me. It's just a common practice, we always have a synthetic on board.
Bishop
I prefer the term "artificial person" myself. Is there a problem?
Burke
I'm sorry. I don't know why I didn't... On Ripley's last trip the synth- the artificial person malfunctioned.
[to Bishop]
Ripley
Malfunctioned"?!
Burke
We had some problems and, uh... few deaths were involved.
Bishop
I'm shocked. Was it an older model?
Burke
Yeah. Hyperdyne Systems 120-A/2.
Bishop
Well, that explains it. I mean, the A/2s always were a bit twitchy. That could never happen now with our behaviour inhibitors. It is impossible for me to harm, or by omission of action, allowed to be harmed, a human being. Are you sure you don't want some?
[hands the tray with corn bread to Ripley]
Ripley
Just stay away from me, Bishop. You got that straight?
[angrily knocks the tray out of Bishop's hand]
A Dark Party Revelation
The Host
You and your friends have been six feet under since this party began!
Confrontation of Past Traumas and Accountability
Sidney Prescott
Fine, you got what you wanted: hero and villain face-to-face. Well, you know what happens now? The villain dies!
Roman Bridger
Exactly! But I'm not the villain, Sid. You are. Here he is, the man who gave away your mother's innocence. Huh? What he did to her made her a slut, didn't it? Huh? She never recovered from that night, right here in this room. They fucked her three ways from Sunday, ruined her life. Ruined yours, too, didn't it, Sid? You hate him, Sid? Come on, I know you do. I'm sure you do.
[Brings out a captured John Milton]
Sidney Prescott
I know who you are. I know what happened to my mother, and I want you to understand, I'm gonna make you pay!
Roman Bridger
That's what the police are gonna find on Milton's answering machine, right next to his lifeless, mutilated corpse. What? Can't hear ya.
[John mumbles]
John Milton
You don't have to do this, Roman. Just tell me what you want. I can make it happen. Any picture. Name your budget. Script approval. Final cut!
[hurriedly; Roman chuckles in amusement and annoyance]
Roman Bridger
I already have it.
Sidney Prescott
No! God! You spineless bastard!
Roman Bridger
No, Sid, that would be you! You did it all. You did it! You killed them all, even your closest...friends. Living in total isolation, the pressure of another movie about you, the discovery that Milton destroyed Mommy dearest, you finally just SNAPPED! And who's our hero, huh? The sole survivor. Who's the one who bravely faced down the psychopath and killed her with her own knife?! You're gonna pay for the life you stole from me, Sid. For the mother, and for the family, and for the stardom, and... GODDAMN IT! EVERYTHING YOU HAVE THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN MINE!
[Starts having a breakdown]
Sidney Prescott
God, why don't stop your whining and get on with it? I've heard this shit before!
[annoyed]
Roman Bridger
STOP!
[struggling not to hear Sidney's words]
Sidney Prescott
Do you know why you kill people, Roman? Do you?
Roman Bridger
I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!
[pleading]
Sidney Prescott
BECAUSE YOU CHOOSE TO! There is no one else to blame!
Roman Bridger
GOD FUCKING DAMN IT!
[smacks himself in the face]
Sidney Prescott
Why don't you take some FUCKING responsibility?!
Roman Bridger
FUCK YOU!!!
[finally snaps and charges at Sidney]
Sidney Prescott
FUCK YOU!
Family Support for Astronauts' Decisions
Reporter 1#
Gentlemen, I'd like to know from each of you whether your wives and children had anything to say about this. Mr. Slayton?
Deke Slayton
Uh, mine thinks it's fine.
Reporter 2#
Thank you. Mr. Schirra?
Wally Schirra
Uh, they're all for it.
John Glenn
You know, I don't think any of us could really go on with something like this if we didn't have pretty good backing at home. Really. My wife's attitude toward this has been the same as it's been all along through my flying. If it's what I want to do, she's behind it, and by golly, my kids are too, a hundred percent!

Knowledge and Perception in Conversation
Sergeant Neff
What were you trying to do, Damien?
Damien Thorn
I was just answering questions, Sergeant.
Sergeant Neff
You were showing off.
Damien Thorn
No, I just knew all the answers. Somehow, I just knew them all.
Sergeant Neff
You mustn't attract attention.
Damien Thorn
I wasn't trying to. I just felt...
Sergeant Neff
The day will come when everyone will know who you are, but that day is not yet here.
Damien Thorn
What do you mean?
Sergeant Neff
There are things you don't understand. Read your Bible. In the New Testament, there is a Book of Revelation. For you, it is just that - a book of revelation. For you. About you. Read it. 13th chapter. Read. Learn. Understand.
Damien Thorn
What am I supposed to understand?
Sergeant Neff
Who you are.
Polishing Potential for Success in Leadership
Sergeant Neff
You'll speak only when spoken to. And you'll listen to every word I say. I intend to shine in my new job, and the only way I can do that is by making you shine. You're the little unit I have to polish until the glare of your achievements blinds everybody on this parade ground.

Location of Bouvetøya Island Revealed
Alexa Lex Woods
Where exactly on the ice is this?
Charles Bishop Weyland
Bouvetøya Island. But it's not on the ice. It's 2,000 feet below it.
Emergency Venting in a Critical Situation
Ripley
It's very pretty, Bishop, but what are we looking for?
[looking out the window at the atmosphere processing plant]
Bishop
That's it. Emergency venting.
[points at gas flaring from the reactor]
Hudson
Oh, that's beautiful, man. Oh, man, that - that just beats it all.
Hicks
How long till it blows?
Bishop
Four hours. With a blast radius of 30 kilometers, equal to about... 40 megatons.
[Hicks groans]
Hicks
We got problems.
Hudson
I don't believe this, I don't fucking believe this!
Bishop
Vasquez, close the shutters.
Ripley
Why can't we shut it down from here?
Bishop
I'm sorry, the crash caused too much damage. An overload is inevitable at this point.
Hudson
Oh, man, and I was getting short. Four more weeks and out. Now I'm gonna buy it on this rock. It ain't half fair, man!
Vasquez
Hudson, give us a break!
Hudson
Four more weeks. Oh, man...
Ripley
Well, we've got to get the other dropship from the Sulaco. I mean, there must be some way of bringing it down on remote.
Hudson
How? The transmitter was on the APC, it's wasted!
Ripley
Well, I don't care how, but we'd better think of something. We'd better think of a way.
Hudson
Think of what?! We're fucked!
Hicks
Shut up!
Hudson
We're doomed-!
Hicks
Shut up! What about the colony transmitters? The uplink tower down at the other end. Why can't we use that-?
[louder; to Bishop]
Bishop
No, I checked. The hardware in between here and there was damaged. We can't align the dish.
Ripley
Well, somebody's gonna have to go out there. Take a portable terminal, go out there and patch in manually.
Hudson
Oh, yeah, sure! With those things runnin around? You can count me out.
Bishop
I'll go.
[speaking under Hudson]
Hicks
Yeah, I guess we can just count you out of everything, Hudson.
Hudson
That's right, man! Hey, why don't you go, man!
Bishop
I'll go.
[more loudly]
Ripley
What?
Bishop
I'll go. I mean, I'm the only one qualified to remote pilot the ship anyway.
Hudson
Yeah, right, man. Bishop should go. Good idea!
Bishop
Believe me, I'd prefer not to. I may be synthetic, but I'm not stupid.
The Value of Pride in Achievements
Sergeant Neff
Be proud of your accomplishments. Pride's all right when there's reason to be proud.
Assessing Salvaged Equipment and Rescue Timeline
Hicks
That's absolutely everything we can salvage from the APC wreckage. We've got four pulse rifles, with about fifty rounds each. That ain't so good. We got, uh, fifteen of these M-40 grenades. Don't touch that. Dangerous, honey.
[Newt reaches for a grenade]
Ripley
Is that the only flamethrower?
Hicks
Yeah. It's only half-full, but it's functional. Got another one, it's damaged, so I don't know about that one. But the good news... We've got four of these robot sentries, with display and scanners intact. They really kick ass. They'll come in handy.
Ripley
How long after we're declared overdue we can expect a rescue?
Hicks
Seventeen days.
[deadpan]
Hudson
Seventeen days? Hey man, I don't wanna rain on your parade, but we're not gonna last seventeen hours! These things are going to come here like they did before and they're gonna...
[starts rambling unintelligibly]
Ripley
Hudson! HUDSON! This little girl survived longer than that with no weapons and no training Right?
[Hudson stops talking; to Newt]
Hudson
Why don't you put her in charge?!
[scoffs]
Ripley
You better start dealing with it, OK!? Listen to me! Hudson, just deal with it, because we need you, and I'm sick of your bullshit. I want you to get into the terminal and get me some kind of floor plan of this building. Construction blueprints, I don't care, anything that shows us a layout of this place. You listening?
Hudson
Yeah.
[distraught]
Ripley
I need to see air ducts, I need to see electrical access tunnels, sub-basements, every possible way into this complex We don't have much time.
[beat]
Ripley
Hudson! Just relax.
Bishop
I'm gonna be in the med-lab. Check on Gorman, continue my analysis.
Ripley
All right. You do that.

The Host

Welcome to Hell: A Conversation Unfolds
Pinhead
Welcome. Welcome to Hell.
The Host
This is not happening.
[chuckling]
Pinhead
Seeing is believing. I should have come for you a long time ago.
The Host
Hellworld. There's no Hellworld. It doesn't exist.
Pinhead
Your son was quite the prodigy. He opened the gateway to Hell. But you never believed yourself, did you?
A Conversation About a Notorious Shootout
John Herod
Mr. Hanlon, I wanted to ask you about Indian Wells. Did that fight really take place?
Ace Hanlon
Sure did.
[combing his mustache]
John Herod
Then it's true that you gunned down four men?
Ace Hanlon
Two with my left hand, two with my right hand. You see, the truth is that I am just as good with either.
John Herod
You must be the fastest gun in the west. That, or the biggest liar.
Ace Hanlon
It's a pity you weren't there to find out.
John Herod
Oh, but I was, Ace. You see, I was the one that really killed the Terrence brothers. And I doubt if a lying little chickenshit like you was even in the same state!
John Herod
How about that left hand, Ace? How about that left-handed draw?
John Herod
Mr. Ace Hanlon, the scourge of the sagebrush! The terror of Tucson! A bladder full of hot air!
[draws both pistols; shoots twice, barely missing Ace's feet; shoots twice again; guns Ace down]

The Cost of Life and Legacy
Alexa Lex Woods
There's no room for sick men on this expedition.
[Lex discovers Weyland with his respirator]
Charles Bishop Weyland
My doctors tell me the worst is behind me.
Alexa Lex Woods
You're not a very good liar, Mr. Weyland. Stay on the ship. We'll update you at the top of every hour.
Charles Bishop Weyland
You know, when you get sick, you think about your life and how you're going to be remembered. You know what I realized would happen when I go? A ten percent fall in share prices. Maybe twelve. And that's it.
Alexa Lex Woods
I've heard this speech before. My dad broke his leg seven hundred feet from the summit of Mount Ranier. He was like you. He wouldn't go back or let us stop. We reached the top and he opened a bottle of champagne... Had my first drink with my dad at 14,400 feet. On the way down, he developed a blood clot in his leg that traveled to his lung. He suffered for four hours before dying twenty minutes from the base.
Charles Bishop Weyland
You think that's the last thing your dad remembers? The pain? Or drinking champagne with his daughter fourteen thousand feet in the air? I need this.

Ripley.
[removes his sunglasses and steps forward]
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 fucking 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.
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.
Ripley
What guarantee do I have, once you've taken it out... that you'll destroy it?
Bishop II
You have to trust me. Please? Trust me?
[approaches her]
Bishop II
What's this going to achieve? STOP!

It was a mistake! There was no need for any of it!
Aaron
Fucking android!
[picks up a large wrench, then hits Bishop II over the head with it]
Bishop II
I'M NOT A DROID!!
Bishop II
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! No pictures!
[to cameraman]
Ripley
You're crazy.
Bishop II
What are you doing?
Bishop II
NOOOOOOOOO!
