Alien Quote

Ripley : That's amazing. What is it?
Ash : Uh, yes, it is. Umm. I don't know yet. Did you want something?
Ripley : Yes, I, uh... have a little talk. How's, uh, how's Kane?
Ash : He's holding, no changes.
Ripley : And, uh, our guest?
Ash : Umm.
Ripley : Hmm?
Ash : Well, as I said, I'm still... collating, actually, but uh, I have confirmed that he's got an outer layer of protein polysaccharides. Has a funny habit of shedding his cells and replacing them with polarized silicon, which gives him a prolonged resistance to adverse environmental conditions. Is that enough?
Ripley : That's plenty. What does it mean? [ Ripley bends down to look through the micro-scanner ]
Ash : Please don't do that. Thank you.
Ripley : I'm sorry.
Ash : Well, it's an interesting combination of elements making him a... tough little son-of-a-bitch.
Ripley : And you let him in.
Ash : I was obeying a direct order. Remember?
Ripley : Ash. When Dallas and Kane are off the ship, I'm Senior Officer.
Ash : Oh, yes, I forgot.
Ripley : You also forgot the Science Division's basic quarantine law.
Ash : No, that I didn't forget.
Ripley : Oh, I see, you just broke it. Hmm?
Ash : Look, what would you have done with Kane, hmm? You know his only chance of survival was to get him in here.
Ripley : Unfortunately, by, uh, breaking quarantine, you risk everybody's life.
Ash : Maybe I should have left him outside. Maybe I've jeopardized the rest of us, but it was a risk I was willing to take.
Ripley : That's a pretty big risk for a Science Officer
