This movie was originally scripted to end with Ripley escaping the Nostromo in her shuttle, and the Alien dying on board the Nostromo. Sir Ridley Scott thought this ending was way too simplistic, so he negotiated with the studio for an additional half a million dollar budget and a week of filming to add a "fourth act" to the movie, showing how the Alien had stowed away aboard the shuttle. Scott initially envisioned a very dark ending where Ripley tries to flush the Alien out, but the creature climbs back into the shuttle; Ripley harpoons it, but it makes no difference: it runs towards her, slams through her masks, and rips her head off. It would then sit in her chair, and start mimicking Captain Dallas' voice, saying "I'm signing off, hopefully the network will pick me up." Twentieth Century Fox wasn't too pleased: according to Scott, while pitching this idea over the phone, there was a long and uncomfortable silence. Within fourteen hours, a studio executive arrived, threatening to fire him on the spot unless he changed the ending to one where the Alien would die. Scott later admitted that allowing Ripley to live was the better ending.
