Aliens - Comforting a Child's Fear of Nightmares
Ripley: [Newt lies down on the bed]
Last stop. Get in. Scoot down. That's good. Now, you lie here and have a nap. You're very tired.
Newt:
I don't want to. I have scary dreams.
Ripley: [holds up Casey]
Well, I bet Casey doesn't have scary dreams. Let's take a look. Nope. Nothing bad in there. See? Maybe you could try to be just like her, hmm?
Newt:
Ripley, she doesn't have bad dreams because she's just a piece of plastic.
Ripley: [smiles; turns on heater]
Right. I'm sorry, Newt. There.
Newt:
My mommy always said there were no monsters, no real ones, but there are.
Ripley:
Yes, there are, aren't there?
Newt:
Why do they tell little kids that?
Ripley:
Most of the time it's true.
Newt:
Did one of those things grow inside her?
Ripley:
I don't know, Newt. That's the truth.
Newt:
Isn't that how babies come? I mean, people babies? They grow inside you.
Ripley: [smiles]
Oh, that's very different.
Newt:
Did you ever have a baby?
Ripley:
Yes, I did. I had a little girl.
Newt:
Where is she?
Ripley:
She's gone.
Newt:
You mean dead.
Ripley: [gives Newt her wristwatch; switches off the light]
Here. Take this. For luck. There's that.
Newt: [grabs Ripley's arm]
Don't go, please.
Ripley: [points to security camera]
Newt, I'm gonna be right in the next room. And you see that camera right up there? I can see you right through that camera, all the time to see if you're safe. I'm not gonna leave you, Newt. I mean that. That's a promise.
Newt:
You promise?
Ripley:
I cross my heart.
Newt:
And hope to die?
Ripley: [Newt hugs her, Ripley kisses her on the cheek]
And hope to die. Now, go to sleep, and don't dream.

Aliens - Desperation in a dire situation
Hudson:
That's great. That's just fucking great, man. Now what the fuck are we supposed to do?! We're in some real pretty shit now, man!
Hicks: [grabs Hudson and draws him closer]
You finished?
Newt:
I guess we're not going to be leaving right now, then?
Ripley:
I'm sorry, Newt.
Newt:
You don't have to be sorry. It wasn't your fault.
Hudson:
That's it! Game over, man! Game over! What the fuck are we gonna do now?! What are we gonna do?!
Burke:
Maybe we could build a fire and sing couple of songs, huh? Why don't we try that?!
Newt:
We'd better get back because it'll be dark soon, and they mostly come at night. Mostly.

Aliens - Identity and Courage in Adversity
Ripley:
I don't know how you managed to stay alive. But you're one brave kid, Rebecca.
Newt:
N-Newt.
Ripley:
What'd you say?
Newt:
Newt. My name is Newt. Nobody calls me Rebecca except my brother.
Ripley:
Newt? I like that. I'm Ripley. It's nice to meet you. And who is this?
Newt:
Casey.
Ripley:
Hello, Casey. What about your brother? What's his name?
Newt:
Timmy.
Ripley: [Newt doesn't answer; Newt shakes her head; Newt nods]
Is Timmy around here too? Maybe hiding like you were? Any sisters? Mom and Dad? Newt. Look at me. Where are they?
Newt:
They're dead, all right? Can I go now?
Ripley: [Newt shakes her head]
I'm sorry, Newt. Don't you think you'd be safer here with us? These people are here to protect you. They're soldiers.
Newt:
It won't make any difference.
