Ash     : Please don't do that. Thank you.
Ripley  : I'm sorry...
Ash     : Well, it's an interesting combination of elements, making him a
tough little son of a bitch...
Ripley  : And you let him in...
Ash     : I was obeying a direct order, remember?
Ripley  : Ash... When Dallas and Kane are off the ship, I'm senior officer.
Ash     : Well, yes, I forgot.
Ripley  : You also forgot the science divisions basic quarantine law.
Ash     : No, that I didn't forget.
Ripley  : Oh, I see, you just broke it.
Ash     : Look, what would you have done with Kane? Hm? You know his only
chance of survival was to get him in her.
Ripley  : Unfortunately, by breaking quarantine you risk everybody's life.
Ash     : Maybe I should have left him outside. Maybe I have joepardised the
rest of us, but it was a risk I was willing to take.
Ripley  : That's a pretty big risk... For a science officer. It's ehh.. Not
exactly out of the manual, is it?
Ash     : I do take my responsibilities as serious as you. You do your job,
and let me do mine, yes?
[Ripley shakes her head and walks out. Ash goes back to his examining]

Ripley  : [through the intercom] Where is Dallas?
Ash     : In the shuttle

[shot of Dallas in the shuttle, listening to 'The Four Seasons'. A small beep
distracts him]
Dallas  : [in the intercom]  Dallas...
Ash     : [through intercom] I think you should have a look at Kane.
Dallas  : [in the intercom]  Why?
Ash     : [through intercom] Something's happened.
Dallas  : [in the intercom]  Serious?
Ash     : [through intercom] Interesting...
Dallas  : [in the intercom]  Ripley, meet me in the infirmary right away.

[shot of them looking at Kane lying in the infirmary. Dallas, Ash and Ripley
stand outside. The facehugger is gone from Kane's face.]
Ripley  : Where is it?
Ash     : Well, I don't know! Anyway, we have to try and find it!
Dallas  : Yeah, let's check it...
[they open the door and slowly enter. Ripley stays at the door. Ash and Dallas
start looking through the room.]
Ripley  : Dallas! Please be...
[Dallas and Ash start the search. Dallas bumps a tray from a table. Ripley
startles.]
Dallas  : Sorry...
[Dallas looks up in a device hanging over Kane]
Ash     : No, not in the corner! Pss! Have one of these. Just in case...
[Ash gives Dallas a long instrument to search with]
[Ripley walks to Kane and looks at his face]
Ripley  : Kane? Dallas...  Ieh-aw!
[Something falls on Ripley's right shoulder when she's bending over Kane and
standing under the device hanging over Kane. It is the facehugger. She tabs
it off her shoulder, and falls to the ground, crawls away. The facehugger
lies on his back, digits up, tail lying still, completely motionless]
Dallas  : Are you ok?
Ash     : I didn't see it! Was it in the overhead?
Dallas  : What?
Dallas  : It was up there somewhere...
Ash     : My god...
Dallas  : Cover up the damn thing, will ya?
Ash     : No- Wait...
[Ash takes the long intrument he used to search and touches the creature
inbetween it's digits, in 'the palm of it's body'. The facehugger brings it's
digits together, as to grip the instrument, but not all the way.]
Dallas  : [scared] It's alive...
Ash     : That's a reflex action...
Well, we have to have a look at this...
[he takes it up in a glass tray and brings it to the examining table]
Ash     : Skin...
Dallas  : [grossed out] Oh...
Ash     : He looks dead enough...
Ripley  : Well, good! Let's get rid of it!
Ash     : [sighs] Ripley... For God's sake, this is the first time we've
encountered a species like this... It has to go back, all sorts of
test has to be made...
Ripley  : Ash, are you kidding! This thing bled acid, who knows what it's
gonna do when it's dead?
Ash     : I think it's safe to assume it isn't a zombie.
[turns to Dallas]
Dallas, it has to go back.
Dallas  : Well, I'd sume (?) but it's not. But it's a mistake(???). You're the
science officer, it's your decision, Ash.
Ripley  : Dallas...!

[Dallas and Ripley walk away from the infirmary. They walk into a passageway]
Dallas  : How come I don't get to change my mind? Alright, the decision has
been made.
Ripley  : I'm not gonna- I'm not trying to change your mind, Dallas. I want
you just to listen- Will you listen to m-
[Dallas walks on. Ripley turns around and presses a button. The door in front
of Dallas closes.]
Dallas  : [sigh] Ahhh...
Ripley  : Just tell me how you can leave that kind of a decision to him?
Dallas  : Well, look, I just run the ship?!! Anything that has to do with the
science devision, Ash has the final word.
Ripley  : How does that happen?
Dallas  : It happens, my dear, because that's what the company wants to
happen.
Ripley  : Since when is that standard procedure?
