RIPLEY:
That's amazing. What is it?
:41:27
ASH: I'd say it's, um...
:41:30
I don't know yet.
:41:36
Do you want something?
:41:37
RIPLEY: Yes, I, uh...
:41:41
wouId Iike to have
a IittIe taIk. How's Kane?
:41:44
ASH: He's hoIding. No changes.
:41:47
RIPLEY: And, uh...
:41:49
our guest?
:41:51
ASH: Hmm.
:41:53
RIPLEY: Hmm?
:41:54
ASH: WeII, as I said, I was
stiII coIIating, actuaIIy...
:41:57
but I have confirmed...
:41:59
that he's got an outer Iayer
of protein poIysaccharides.
:42:04
He has afunny habit
of shedding his ceIIs...
:42:06
and repIacing them
with poIarized siIicone...
:42:10
which gives him
a proIonged resistance...
:42:12
to adverse
environmentaI conditions.
:42:16
Is that enough?
:42:17
RIPLEY: That's pIenty.
What does it mean?
:42:20
ASH: PIease don't do that.
Thankyou.
:42:21
RIPLEY: I'm sorry.
:42:24
ASH: WeII, it's an interesting
combination of eIements...
:42:26
making him a tough IittIe
son of a bitch.
:42:30
And you Iet him in.
:42:32
ASH: I was obeying
a direct order, remember?
:42:35
Ash,when DaIIas and Kane
are off the ship...
:42:39

:42:56
His onIy chance of survivaI
was to get him in here.
:42:59
RIPLEY: UnfortunateIy,
