Alien Page #3

Anything scientific, Ash has the final word.

- How does that happen?

- That's what the company wants.

- Since when is that standard procedure?

- Standard procedure is to do what they say.

- What's happening with the repairs?

- They're pretty much finished.

- Why didn't you tell me?

- There's still some things to do.

We're blind on B and C decks,

the reserve power system's blown...

That's horseshit. We can take off without that.

- We can. You think that's a good idea?

- Look, I just wanna get the hell outta here.

Dust in the intakes.

Number two's overheating.

Spit on it for two minutes, for Christ sake!

We're hot and we're getting hotter.

Engine room, red clip status.

- One kilometre on ascension.

- Engage artificial gravity.

- Engaged.

- I'm altering the vector... now.

Inhibit CNG.

- Struts retract.

- Struts retracted.

Walk in the park!

When we fix something, it stays fixed.

Don't we, Brett, baby?

Right!

We should freeze him. If he's got a disease,

why don't we stop it there?

- We can get to a doctor back home.

- Right.

Whenever he says anything,

you say "Right", Brett, you know?

Right.

Parker, your staffjust follows you around

and says "Right"! Just like a parrot.

- Shape up! What are you, a parrot?

- Right.

Come on, knock it off!

- Kane's gonna have to go into quarantine.

- Yes, and so are we.

- How about something to lower your spirits?

- Thrill me, will you, please?

According to my calculations,

based on time spent...

- Give me the short version. How far to Earth?

- Ten months.

Oh, God.

Yes?

- Dallas, I think you should see Kane.

- Has his condition changed?

- It's simpler if you come.

- We're on our way.

Right.

How are you feelin'?

- How are you doing?

- Terrific! Next silly question?

Oh, thank you.

Do you remember anything about the planet?

What's the last thing you do remember?

I remember some horrible dream

about smothering and...

Anyway, where are we?

- Right here!

- We're on our way home.

Back to the old freezerinos!

- I've got to have something to eat first.

- I need something to eat myself.

One more meal before bedtime. I'm buying.

Hey, that's a break!

The first thing I'm going to do

when I get back is to get some decent food.

I can dig it. I've eaten worse food than this,

but then I've tasted better.

You pound down the stuff

like there's no tomorrow.

I'd rather be eating something else,

but right now, I'm thinking food.

You should know,

you know what it's made of.

I don't wanna talk about what it's made of.

I'm eating this!

What's the matter, man?

The food ain't that bad, baby!

What's wrong?

What? What?

- This is serious.

- Kane!

Get the spoon!

- Get it into his mouth!

- I'm trying!

Oh, God!

- Dallas?

- Yeah.

- Anything?

- No. You?

Nothing.

- Did you see anything?

- No.

Inner hatch sealed.

Anybody want to say anything?

This is just an ordinary prod,

like a cattle prod.

It's got a portable battery.

It's insulated from here to here.

Just make damn sure

nobody puts their hand on the end of it.

It shouldn't damage the bastard

unless its skin is thinner than ours.

But it will give him a little incentive.

Now we just have to find him.

I've taken care of that.

I've designed this tracking device.

You just set it to search for a moving object.

Hasn't got much of a range, but within

a certain distance, it gives off a signal.

What does it key on?

Micro changes in air density.

Gimme a demo.

See? And again...

Gotcha.

Two teams. Ash, Lambert and I.

Ripley, you take Parker and Brett.

Catch it, put it in the airlock, get rid of it.

The channels are open on all decks.

I want you to communicate,

keep in touch at all times.

Let's go.

I thought you fixed 12 module.

We did.

I don't understand it.

The circuits must have burned out.

- What have we got here?

- Damn it, hold your light over here.

Yeah, that's it.

I don't know if this is going to work.

- Put this in there.

- Right.

Check the insulation.

Sh*t...

According to this, it's within five metres.

Micro changes in air density, my ass.

It's within five metres.

Be careful.

- Hey, don't creep up on me with that thing.

- You guys stick together.

- Whoa, whoa now...

- What?

Parker, Brett, it's in this locker.

In where?

Here, take it.

I got it, I got it.

Wait.

All right, Parker? When I say.

- All right. Now.

- Easy.

- Don't let him go!

- What the hell are you doing, man?!

It's the cat.

Hey, look, now. We had to bag it.

Now we might pick it up on the tracker again.

- I'II... I'II...

- Go and get it, man.

You get him, we'll go on.

Here, kitty!

Here, kitty, kitty.

Kitty crap. Jones!

Jonesy?

Here, Jonesy!

Jonesy?

Here, kitty, kitty, kitty.

Here, Jonesy!

Jonesy?

Here, kitty, kitty.

Kitty, kitty, kitty.

Jonesy.

Kitty, kitty.

Kitty, kitty, kitty.

Jonesy?

Hey. Hey, come on, Jonesy.

Come on, baby. That's a kitty.

Come on, baby.

That's a kitty.

Hey, I'm not gonna hurt you. Come on.

Brett!

Brett!

Brett!

Whatever it was, it was big.

No question. It's...

It's using the air ducts to move around.

Could he want Brett alive?

- What?

- Could Brett be alive?

No. I mean, I... I don't think so.

Now, this air shaft

may work to our advantage.

It leads up to and comes out

in the main airlock.

There's only one big opening along the way.

We can cover that up and then we drive it

into the airlock and zap it into outer space.

The son of a b*tch is huge!

I mean, it's like a man. It's big!

Kane's son.

Come on, Ash. The science department

should be able to help. How can we drive it?

It's adapted well to our atmosphere,

considering its nutritional needs.

But we don't know about temperature.

- OK, temperature. What if we change it?

- Let's try it. Most animals retreat from fire.

Fire, yeah. Parker, can you rig

three or four incinerator units?

- Who gets to go into the vent?

- I do.

No.

You and Ash,

take the main airlock.

Parker, Lambert, you cover up

that maintenance opening, please.

- I'm at the firstjunction.

- Dallas, I'm right here.

- Parker?

- Yeah.

- Lambert?

- In position. I'm trying to get a reading.

- The airlock is open.

- OK, Ripley.

Ready.

All right, I've got a reading on you now.

Open the hatch to the third junction.

OK, I'm through.

I'm moving on.

Dallas, hold on. I think I got it.

- Yes, I've got it.

- Where?

It's somewhere around the third junction.

OK. Moving on.

It is right around there.

Dallas, you're gonna have to be careful.

All right. I've reached the third junction

and I'm going down.

What the hell's the matter with that box?

Dallas, hold your position for a minute. I...

- I've lost the signal!

- What?

You sure?

Are you sure it's not there?

It's got to be around there.

Check that out, Lambert.

You may be getting interference.

Dallas, are you sure

there's no sign of it? It is there!

It's gotta be around there!

Dallas?

All right.

Am I clear?

I wanna get the hell outta here.
