The analysis team, which went over the lifeboat, centimeter
by centimeter, found no physical evidence of the creature
you described...
RIPLEY
Good! That's because I blew it out the goddamn airlock!
[pause]
Like I said.
INSURANCE MAN
[to the ECA rep.]
Are there any species like this 'hostile organism' on
LV-426?
ECA REP.
No. It's a rock. No indigenous life.
[Ripley grits her teeth in frustration.]
RIPLEY
Did IQ's drop sharply while I was away? Maam, I already
said it was non-indigenous. There was a derelict
spacecraft. An alien ship. It wasn't from there. Do you
get it. We homed in on it's beacon...
ECA REP.
And found something which has never been reported once
from over three hundred surveyed worlds... 'a creature...
[she reads from Ripley's statement]
... that gestates inside a living human host,' these are
your words, 'and has concentrated acid for blood.'
RIPLEY
That's right. Look, I can see where this is going. But,
I'm telling you these things exist.
VAN LEUWEN
Thank you, Officer Ripley. That will be all.
