A Wild Night in Sri Lanka
Del Preston: [At Mikita's, the doughnut shop; everyone in donut shop claps]
And there I am in Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, at three o clock in the morning, looking for one thousand brown M&M's to fill a brandy glass, or Ozzy wouldn't go on stage that night. So, Jeff Beck pops his head round the door and mentions there's a little sweetshop on the edge of town. So, we go, and - it's closed. So there's me, and Keith Moon, and David Crosby breaking into this little sweetshop right? Well, instead of a guard dog, they've got this bloody great big Bengal tiger. Well I managed to take out the tiger with a can of mace, but the shopowner and his son, that's a different story altogether... I had to beat them to death with their own shoes... Nasty business really... But sure enough, I got the M&M's and Ozzy went on stage and did a GREAT show.

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: [removes his sunglasses and steps forward]
Ripley.
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: [approaches her]
You have to trust me. Please? Trust me?
Bishop II: [a soldier shoots Morse in the leg]
What's this going to achieve? STOP!
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: [picks up a large wrench, then hits Bishop II over the head with it]
Fucking android!
Bishop II:
I'M NOT A DROID!!
Bishop II: [to cameraman]
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!
Ripley:
You're crazy.
Bishop II:
What are you doing?
Bishop II: [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]
NOOOOOOOOO!
