Aliens Page #3

Synopsis: Fifty seven years after Ellen Ripley survived her disastrous ordeal, her escape vessel is recovered after drifting across the galaxy as she slept in cryogenic stasis. Back on Earth, nobody believed her story about the "Aliens" on the moon LV-426. After the "Company" orders the colony on LV-426 to investigate, however, all communication with the colony is lost. The Company enlists Ripley to aid a team of tough, rugged space marines on a rescue mission to the now partially terraformed moon to find out if there are aliens or survivors. As the mission unfolds, Ripley will be forced to come to grips with her worst nightmare, but even as she does, she finds that the worst is yet to come.

We're doing a lot ofterraforming,

building better worlds...

Yeah. I saw the commercial.

Look, I don't have time for this.

I've got to get to work.

Oh, right.

I heard you're working the cargo docks.

That's right.

- Running loaders and forklifts.

- Yeah. So?

Nothing. I think it's great

that you're keeping busy.

And I know it's the only thing that you

could get. There's nothing wrong with it.

What would you say if I told you I could

get you reinstated as a flight officer?

The company's already agreed

to pick up your contract.

If I go.

If you go.

Come on, that's a second chance, kiddo.

Get out there and face this thing.

Get back on the horse.

Spare me, Burke.

I've had my psych evaluation this month.

Yeah, I know. I've read it.

You wake up every night,...

...soaked in sweat...

- I said no! And I mean it!

Now please leave.

I am not going back! And I am...

I would not be any good to you if I did.

OK.

Shh.

Would you do me a favour?

Just think about it.

Thanks for the coffee.

Aagh!

Ohh!

Hello.

Ripley? You OK?

Just tell me one thing, Burke.

You're going out there

to destroy them, right?

Not to study.

Not to bring back.

But to wipe them out.

That's the plan. You have my word on it.

All right, I'm in.

And you, you little shithead,...

... You're staying here.

They ain't payin' us enough for this, man.

Not enough to have to

wake up to yourface, Drake.

What?

- Is that ajoke?

- Oh, I wish it were!

Hey, Hicks. Man, you lookjust like I feel.

All right, sweethearts,

what are you waiting for? Breakfast in bed?

Another glorious day in the Corps!

A day in the Marine Corps

is like a day on the farm.

Every meal's a banquet,

every paycheck a fortune.

Every formation a parade.

I love the Corps!

Man, this floor is freezing!

- You want me to fetch your slippers?

- Gee, would you, sir?

Look into my eye.

Fall in, people!

Come on, let's go.

I hate this job.

Crowe! Wierzbowski! On your feet!

I'm talking about breathing,

not this frozen sh*t.

Yeah, Top, how about it?

All right, first assembly's

in 15, people. Shag it!

Hey, mira. Who's Snow White?

She's supposed to be

some kind of consultant.

Apparently, she saw an alien once.

Whoopee-f***ing-doo!

Hey, I'm impressed.

;Qu bonita!

Hey, Vasquez.

Have you ever been mistaken for a man?

No. Have you?

Oh, Vasquez!

You're just too bad.

Hey, Top, what's the op?

It's a rescue mission. You'll love it.

There's some juicy colonists' daughters

we have to rescue from their virginity.

Dumb-ass colonists!

What's this crap supposed to be?

- Cornbread, I think.

- It's good for you, boy. Eat it.

I sure wouldn't mind getting more ofthat

Arcturian poontang. Remember that time?
