Memorable Quotes from Danny Webb
5 quotesCrisis Unfolds in a Troubled Facility
Dillon
Give us strength, O Lord, to endure. We recognize that we are poor sinners in the hands of an angry God. Let the circle be unbroken until the day. Amen. What the fuck is happening here? What the fuck is this bullshit that's coming down? We got a murder. We got a rape. We got brothers in trouble. I DON'T WANT NO MORE BULLSHIT AROUND HERE!! NOW WE'VE GOT PROBLEMS!! WE STAND TOGETHER!!
Andrews
Yes. Thank you, Mr. Dillon. All right. Once again, this is rumor control. Here are the facts. At 0800 hours, prisoner Murphy, through carelessness on his part, was found dead in vent shaft 17. He seems to have been sucked into a ventilator fan. At about 2100 hours, prisoner Golic reappeared in a deranged state. Prisoners Boggs and Rains are missing. There seems to be a good chance that they have met with foul play at the hands of prisoner Golic. We need to organize and send out a search party; volunteers will be appreciated. I think it's fair to say that our smoothly running facility has suddenly developed a few problems. I can only hope we are all able to pull together over the next few days until the rescue team arrives for Lieutenant Ripley.
Ripley
It's here! It got Clemens!
[runs into the room, breathless and panicking]
Andrews
Stop this raving at once! Stop it!
[loses his temper]
Ripley
I'm telling you! It's here!
Andrews
Aaron, get that foolish woman back to the infirmary!
Morse
...FUCK!
[holding a chair, after the panic subsides in shocked silence]

Choosing between action and inaction
Dillon
This is the choice. You die sitting here on your ass or to die out there. At least we take a shot, we owe it one! It's fucked us up. Maybe we can get even for the others. So how do you want it?
Morse
What the fuck are you talking about?
Dillon
I'm talkin about killing that big motherfucker.
Aaron
Hold it, hold it. The rescue team is on its way. We could just sit this out.
Ripley
Rescue team for who?
Aaron
For us.
Ripley
They just want the beast. You know that.
Aaron
I don't give a damn what they want. They're not gonna pick us off one by one, are they?
Ripley
I wouldn't be so sure.
Aaron
Come on, they're gonna take us home.
Dillon
They're not gonna take us home.
Morse
Still doesn't mean we should go out and fight it. Jesus Christ, give us a break!
Aaron
You've gotta be fucking nuts! Look, I've got a wife and a kid--
Dillon
Nobody give a shit about you, 85. You're not one of us, you're not a believer. You're a fucking company man!
Aaron
Yeah, okay. So I'm a company man, I'm not a fucking criminal. You keep telling me how dumb I am. Well I'm smart enough not to have a life sentence on this rock! Yeah, and I'm smart enough to wait for some firepower to show up before we fight this thing! Right?
[the prisoners yell insults and profanities at him]
Dillon
Okay, fine. Just sit here on your asses.
Morse
How about if I sit here on my ass?
[sarcastically]
Dillon:
No problem. Oh, I forgot. You're the guy that's made a deal with God to live forever, huh? And all the rest of you pussies can sit it out too. Me and her will do all the fighting.
Morse
Okay, look. I want the same thing as you. I want to see it dead, I hate the fucker! It killed my mates too! Why can't we just wait for the company and have some guns on our side? Why do we have to go on some fucking suicide run?!
Aaron
Right!
Ripley
Because they won't kill it. They might kill you just for having seen it, but they're not gonna kill it.
Aaron
That is crazy! That is horseshit! They will not kill us!
Ripley
When they first heard about this thing, it was crew expendable. The next time they sent in marines; they were expendable too. What makes you think they're gonna care about a bunch of lifers who found God at the ass-end of space? You really think they're going to let you interfere with their plans for this thing? They think we're crud, and they don't give a fuck about one friend of yours that's died. Not one.

Devising a Plan to Trap the Creature
David
Have you got some sort of plan?
Dillon
This is a leadworks, isn't it? All we got to do is lure the fucking beast into the mold. Drown it in hot lead.
Morse
Oh right... and how do we do that?
Gregor
Yeah. What are we gonna use for bait?
Kevin
Aw, fuck!
[realizes]
Dillon
We're all gonna die. The only question is when. This is as good a place as any to take your first steps to heaven. The only question is how you check out. Do you want it on your feet, or on your fucking knees... begging?! I ain't much for begging! Nobody ever gave me nothing! So I say fuck that thing! Let's fight it!
Morse
Fuck it! Let's go for it!

Confrontation Amidst Uncertainty and Fear
Ripley
Don't come any closer!
Aaron
Wait. They're here to help...
Ripley
Stay where you are!
Bishop II
Ripley.
[removes his sunglasses and steps forward]
Ripley
Bishop?
Bishop II
I'm here to help you.
Ripley
No more bullshit. I just felt it move.
Bishop II
Do you know who I am?
Ripley
You're a droid, same model as Bishop. Sent by the fucking company.
Bishop II
No. I'm not the Bishop Android. I designed it. I'm very human. The company sent me here to show you a friendly face, to demonstrate how important you are to us... to me.
Ripley
You just wanna take it back.
Bishop II
We want to kill it and take you home.
Ripley
Bullshit.
Bishop II
You're wrong. We want to help.
Ripley
What does that mean?
Bishop II
We're going to take that out of you...
Ripley
...and keep it.
Bishop II
We can't allow it to live. Everything we know would be in jeopardy.
Ripley
You don't wanna take it back?
Bishop II
Ripley, time is important. Let us deal with the malignancy. We've got a surgical base set up on the rescue ship. Come with me.
Medic
It's very quick. Painless. A couple of incisions... you'll be out for two hours.
Bishop II
And then it's over. You still can have a life. Children. And most important, you'll know it's dead. Let me help you.
Ripley
What guarantee do I have, once you've taken it out... that you'll destroy it?
Bishop II
You have to trust me. Please? Trust me?
[approaches her]
Bishop II
What's this going to achieve? STOP!
[a soldier shoots Morse in the leg]
Morse
AHHH! Oh, Jesus!
Ripley
Morse, will you help me?
Morse
What do you want me to do?
Bishop II
It was a mistake! There was no need for any of it!
Aaron
Fucking android!
[picks up a large wrench, then hits Bishop II over the head with it]
Bishop II
I'M NOT A DROID!!
Bishop II
Ripley, think of all we can learn from it! It's the chance of a lifetime! You must let me have it! It's a magnificent specimen! No pictures!
[to cameraman]
Ripley
You're crazy.
Bishop II
What are you doing?
Bishop II
NOOOOOOOOO!
[as Ripley falls into the furnace below, a queen Chestburster pops out, but Ripley holds her captive and both of them get engulfed in the furnace]

Ripley
Now!
Dillon
What about you?
Ripley
I'm staying.
Dillon
Bullshit! There's gonna be ten tons of hot lead in here!
Ripley
I'm telling you, I wanna die!
Dillon
We got a deal, remember?! It dies first, then you! I'm not gonna move without you! Now get going!
Ripley
Dillon!
Dillon
I've gotta hold it here.
Ripley
What about me?
Dillon
God will take care of you now, sister!
Ripley
No!
Dillon
Pour the lead! Fuck you. Pour it, Ripley! Go on! Goddamn it! Pour the lead, Ripley! Pour it now! Come on! Come on! That's all you got? Is that as hard as you fight, motherfucker?!
[he takes off his glasses and turns to the alien; the alien attacks him; to the alien]
Ripley
Morse! Over here!
[waves to Morse]
Morse
Ripley!
Ripley
Pour the lead! Pour the lead! Pour it!
[Morse positions the machine over the pit]
