Lambert : Well, then why don't we draw straws?
Parker  : I'm not gonna draw any straws, I'm for killing that goddamn thing
right now!
Ripley  : Ok. Well, let's talk about killing it. We now it's using the
airshafts...
[Parker keeps alking to himself]
Ripley  : [shouts] WILL YOU LISTEN TO ME, PARKER!
Parker  : Start talking.
Ripley  : SHUT UP!
Parker  : [pumped up with rage] Let's hear it. Let's hear it.
Ripley  : It's using the airshafts.
Parker  : We don't know that...
Ripley  : IT'S THE ONly way! We'll move in pairs, we'll go step by step
and cut off every bulkhead and every bend, untill we have it
cornered and then we will blow it the fuck out into space. Is that
acceptable to you?
Parker  : If it means killing it...
Ripley  : Obviously, it means killing it.
Parker  : ...it's acceptable to me.
Ripley  : But we _have_ to stick together. How are our weapons?
Parker  : The weapons are fine... This one needs refuelling.
Ripley  : Will you get it, please? Ash, go with him.
Parker  : No, I mean, I can manage without him... Don't follow me.
[Parker takes off]
Ripley  : [sharp] Ash! Any suggestions from you or Mother?
Ash     : No, we're still collating.
Ripley  : [laughs] You're what? You're still collating? I find that hard to
believe.
Ash     : Well, what would you like me to do?
Ripley  : Just what you've been doing, Ash. Nothing. I've got access to Mother
now, and I'll get my own answers, thank you.
Ash     : Allright...

[Parker fills the weapon.]
[Ripley goes to mother. She enteres her accesscode and gets her keycard. She
enters, and asks what is going on. She gets an answer that it is classified,
code 937, 'For science officer only'. She overrides the classification and
sees order 937. It says that the ship was rerouted to new coordinates and that
they should go down and take one of the species there. Taking back the species
has priority one. All other priorities have been canceled. 'Crew expandable'.]

[Ash stands next to her.]
Ash     : [smiles] There is an explanation for this, you know.
Ripley  : [stands up]
The rule (?)...
[grabs Ash by the collar and throws him to the side]
I wanna tell you about an explanation!
[Ripley stands still and strarts to cry. Ash looks at her bewildered.]
I...
[Ripley walks out of the room. She comes into the messhall. She presses a
button of the intercom.]
Ripley  : Parker! Lambert?
[She doesn't hear an answer. She walks on to a door. Just as she wants to go
through it, the door closes. She presses the open button, but it doesn't
work.]
Ripley  : Ash... Open the door.
[Ash is looking at her. A small white drop of fluid runs down his temple. He
looks 'funny'. Ripley walks to another door. It also closes just as she wants
to pass it.]
Ripley  : Ash! Will you open the door?
[Ripley walks to Ash. He has a tick: his right eye is moving funny. He starts
to jabber nonsense as Ripley addresses him.]
Ripley  : Why, Ash?
[Ripley approaches Ash. He puts out his right arm fast. Ripley bends over,
and Ash pulls out a pluck of her hair. She falls to the ground and crawls
away. Ash walks to her, picks her up and throws her to the wall. Ripley
screams. She collapses. Ash stands still, waiting for something. A mobile
tingles. Ash watches it, pickes up Ripley and throws her to the mobile. She
lands on a bed. Ash walks over to her and looks at her open mouth. He picks
up a magazine and folds it into a cylinder. He puts it in her mouth and
starts pressing it in. Ripley wakes up and tries to get away, fails. Ash
jabbers some 'Bubuh-buh-buh' nonsense and gets more angry as she resists.
Ripley claws at Ash. He continues. Suddenly, Parker stands behind him.]
Parker  : [yells] Ash, what are you doing?
[Parker tries to push Ash away. Ash stretches out his left hand and grabs
Parker's ribs. Parker cries out and let's go, falls down. Ripley still
screams. Ash goes on with Ripley. Parker comes back with a fire
extinguisher. He hits Ash on the head with it. Ash falls aside.]
Parker  : [to Lambert] Get her out! Get her up! Get her out! Get her up! Get
her up!
[ Lambert helps Ripley to get away.]
[Ash starts to turn wildly and jabbering and then stops and comes for Parker. Parker hits
him again. Ash's head falls back, showing all kinds of tubes down his
throat. Parker hits him again, and Ash falls down, crying out his
'Juh-buh-buh' stuff. Parker starts hitting Ash untill he's not moving
anymore. Parker falls back and sits on the ground astonished.]
Parker  : Jesus! It's a robot! Ash is a goddamn robot! God!
[He gets up, and looks at Ash. Ash gets up, grabs Parker and they fall back
into the messhall. Parker ceises both Ash's pulses and pushes him up from
him.]
Parker  : Get him off of me! Get this fucking thing off!
[Lambert cries and gets a prod. She stabs Ash with it, in the back. Ash
stops moving. Parker throws him off of himself.]
Parker  : Oh, God!
Lambert : Oh God!
Parker  : Oh Jesus! Oh God! Oh God!

[Ash lays spread out on a table. Ripley is busy putting some cables in some
of the tubes that are coming out of Ash's neck.]
Parker  : How come the company send us a goddamn robot?
