{16032}{16071}Please?
{16127}{16204}You freely admit to|detonating the engines of...
{16204}{16274}and thereby destroying|an M-Class star freighter...
{16275}{16334}a rather expensive piece|of hardware.
{16335}{16394}Forty-two million|in adjusted dollars.
{16395}{16466}That's minus payload, of course.
{16467}{16514}The lifeboat's|flight recorder...
{16515}{16586}corroborates some elements|of your account...
{16587}{16634}in that, for reasons unknown...
{16635}{16702}the Nostromo|set down on LV-426...
{16703}{16766}an unsurveyed planet|at that time...
{16767}{16814}that it resumed its course...
{16815}{16904}and was subsequently set|for self-destruct by you...
{16904}{16934}for reasons unknown.
{16935}{16966}Not for reasons unknown.
{16967}{16996}I told you.
{16997}{17076}We set down on Company orders|to get this thing...
{17076}{17199}which destroyed my crew|and your expensive ship.
{17200}{17228}The analysis team...
{17229}{17290}which went over the lifeboat|centimeter by centimeter...
{17291}{17356}found no physical evidence|of the creature you describe.
{17356}{17457}Good! That's because I blew it|out of the goddamn air lock.
{17497}{17530}Like I said.
{17591}{17631}Are there any species...
{17632}{17697}like this hostile organism|on LV-426?
{17698}{17768}No. It's a rock.|No indigenous life.
{17812}{17896}Did IQs just drop sharply|while I was away?
{17897}{17960}Ma'am, I already said|it was not indigenous.
{17961}{18030}It was a derelict spacecraft.|It was an alien ship.
{18031}{18069}It was not from there.
{18070}{18142}Do you get it?|We homed in on its beacon.
{18143}{18212}And found something|never recorded once...
{18213}{18285}in over three hundred|surveyed worlds.
{18286}{18413}"A creature that gestates|inside a living human host."
{18414}{18454}These are your words.
{18455}{18507}"And has concentrated acid|for blood."
{18508}{18534}That's right.
{18563}{18653}Look.|I can see where this is going...
{18654}{18717}but I'm telling you|that those things exist.
{18718}{18767}Thank you, Officer Ripley.|That will be all.
{18768}{18800}Please! You're not listening.
{18801}{18839}Kane-the crew member...
{18840}{18956}Kane, who went into that ship,|said he saw thousands of eggs.
{18956}{19006}Thank you. That will be all.
{19007}{19057}God damn it, that's not all!
{19058}{19124}If one of those things gets|down here, that will be all!
{19124}{19205}And all this bullshit|you think is important...
{19206}{19262}you can kiss all that good-bye!
{19411}{19498}It is the finding|of this court of inquiry...
{19499}{19549}that Warrant Officer|E. Ripley...
{19550}{19619}N-O-C-one-four-four-seven-two...
{19620}{19694}has acted|with questionable judgment...
{19695}{19767}and is unfit|to hold an ICC license...
{19768}{19838}as a commercial flight officer.
{19839}{19924}Said license is hereby|suspended indefinitely.
{19952}{20000}No criminal charges...
{20000}{20072}will be filed against you|at this time...
{20072}{20131}and you are released|on your own recognizance...
{20132}{20198}for a six-month period|of psychometric probation...
{20199}{20324}to include monthly review by|an ICC psychiatric technician.
{20374}{20442}These proceedings are closed.
{20703}{20750}That could have been better.
{20751}{20786}Look, I think-Ripley.
{20787}{20834}Van Leuwen.
{20835}{20906}Why don't you just|check out LV-426?
{20907}{20954}Because I don't have to.
{20955}{21018}People have been there|for over twenty years...
{21019}{21079}and they never complained|about any hostile organism.
{21080}{21127}What people?
{21128}{21168}Terraformers.
{21168}{21200}Planet engineers.
{21200}{21257}They go in,|set up atmosphere processors...
{21258}{21300}to make the air breathable.
{21300}{21348}It takes decades.
{21348}{21411}It's what we call|a shake 'n' bake colony.
{21412}{21499}How many are there?|How many colonists?
{21500}{21581}I don't know.|Sixty, maybe seventy families.
{21582}{21610}Do you mind?
{21665}{21701}Families.
{21772}{21807}Jesus.
{23619}{23666}I'll be down in maintenance.
{23667}{23714}-Al?|-What?
{23715}{23752}-Hey, Al.|-What?
{23753}{23798}Remember you sent|some wildcatters...
{23799}{23828}out in the middle of nowhere|last week...
{23829}{23884}out past the Ilium Range?
{23885}{23963}One's on the horn,|a mom-and-pop survey team.
{23963}{24020}He's onto something,|wants his claim honored.
{24021}{24067}Why wouldn't it be honored?
{24068}{24166}Because you sent them|on Company orders maybe?
{24167}{24241}Christ. Some haunch in|a cushy office on Earth says...
{24242}{24287}"Go look at a grid reference."
{24288}{24367}We look. They don't say why,|and I don't ask...
{24367}{24446}because it takes two weeks|to get an answer out here.
{24447}{24494}The answer is always,|"Don't ask."
{24495}{24553}What do I tell this guy?
{24554}{24650}As far as I'm concerned,|if he finds something, it's his.
{24651}{24686}-Lydecker?|-What?
{24718}{24759}You kids know|you're not supposed to be here!
{24759}{24789}Get out!
