Alien 3 Page #2

Now, since I'm not

a complete idiot...

want to tell me

what we're really lookingfor?

ANDREWS:
Mr. Clemens.

Superintendent.

I don't believe you've met

Lieutenant Ripley.

ANDREWS:

What's going on, Mr. Clemens?

AARON:
That's right, sir.

What's going on?

Well, first...

the lieutenant is feeling

much better, I'm happy to say.

Second, in the interest

of public health...

I am performing an autopsy.

Without my authority?

There didn't seem to be time,

but it's turned out all right.

- There's no contagion.

- Good.

It might help if she didn't

parade before the prisoners...

as I'm told she did

in the last hour.

It might also be helpful

if you kept me informed...

as to any change

in her physical status.

Is that asking too much?

We have to cremate the bodies.

Nonsense. We'll keep them on ice

till the rescue team arrives.

AARON:
On ice.

There is

the public health issue.

The lieutenantfeels

there's still the possibility...

of a communicable infection.

ANDREWS:
You said there was

no sign of disease.

CLEMENS:

It appears the child drowned...

but without the benefit

of proper laboratory tests...

it's impossible to be

absolutely certain.

I would consider it unwise

to tolerate...

even the possibility

of an unwelcome virus.

An outbreak of cholera...

would look extremely bad

on a report, would it not, sir?

AARON:
Ahem.

ANDREWS:
We've twenty-five

prisoners in this facility...

all double-Y chromos...

all thieves, rapists, murderers,

child molesters... all scum.

Just because

they've taken on religion...

doesn't make them

any less dangerous.

I try not to offend

their convictions.

I don't want to upset the order.

I don't want ripples

in the water...

and I don't want a woman walking

around giving them ideas.

I see.

For my own personal safety.

Exactly.

I'll leave the cremation details

to you, Mr. Clemens.

ANDREWS:

They may use the furnace...

but I want everyone in lockup

by 2200 hours.

ANDREWS:
"We commit this child

and this man...

"to Your keeping, O Lord."

"Their bodies have been taken...

"from the shadow of our night."

"They have been released

from all darkness and pain."

"The child and the man...

"have gone beyond our world."

"They are forever...

"eternal, and everlasting."

[Barking]

"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust."

DILLON:
Why?

Why are the innocent punished?

[Dog whimpers]

DILLON:
Why the sacrifice?

Why the pain?

There aren't any promises.

Nothing's certain.

some get saved.

She won't ever know

the hardship and grief...

for those of us left behind.

We commit these bodies

to the void...

with a glad heart.

[Growling]

DILLON:
For within each seed...

there is a promise of a flower.
