Ripley:
[Ash is observing the facehugger]
That's amazing. What is it?
Ash:
Uh, yes, it is. Um. I don't know yet. Did you want something?
Ripley:
Yes, I, uh... have a little talk. How's, uh, how's Kane?
Ash:
He's holding, no changes.
Ripley:
And, uh, our guest?
Ash:
Um.
Ripley:
Hm?
Ash:
Well, as I said, I'm still... collating, actually, but uh, I have confirmed that he's got an outer layer of protein polysaccharides. Has a funny habit of shedding his cells and replacing them with polarized silicon, which gives him a prolonged resistance to adverse environmental conditions. Is that enough?
Ripley:
That's plenty. What does it mean?
[Ripley bends down to look through the micro-scanner]
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:
Oh, yes. I forgot.
Ripley:
You also forgot the Science Division's basic quarantine law.
Ash:
No, that I didn't forget.
Ripley:
Oh, I see. You just broke it, hm?
Ash:
Look, what would you have done with Kane, hm? You know his only chance of survival was to get him in here.
Ripley:
Unfortunately, by, uh, breaking quarantine, you risk everybody's life.
Ash:
Maybe I should have left him outside. Maybe I've jeopardized 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, uh, not exactly out of the manual, is it?
Ash:
I do take my responsibilities as seriously as you, you know. You do your job and let me do mine, yes?
