Alien1979

Ash:
Ripley, for God's sake, this is the first time that we've encountered a species like this. It has to go back, all sorts of tests have to be made.

Ripley:
Ash, are you kidding? This thing bled acid, and who knows what it's gonna do when it's dead?

Ash:
I think it's safe to assume it isn't a zombie. Dallas, it has to go back.

Dallas:
Well, I'd soon as not...burn it at the stake, but you're the science officer; it's your decision, Ash.
