[Ripley is putting Newt to bed in the med bay]

Ripley:
Last stop. Get in. [Newt lies down on the bed] Scoot down. That's good. Now, you lie here and have a nap. You're very tired.

Newt:
I don't want to. I have scary dreams.

Ripley:
Well, I bet Casey doesn't have scary dreams. Let's take a look. [holds up Casey] Nope. Nothing bad in there. See? Maybe you could try to be just like her, hmm?

Newt:
Ripley, she doesn't have bad dreams because she's just a piece of plastic.

Ripley:
[smiles] Right. I'm sorry, Newt. [turns on heater] There.

Newt:
My mommy always said there were no monsters, no real ones, but there are.

Ripley:
Yes, there are, aren't there?

Newt:
Why do they tell little kids that?

Ripley:
Most of the time it's true.

Newt:
Did one of those things grow inside her?

Ripley:
I don't know, Newt. That's the truth.

Newt:
Isn't that how babies come? I mean, people babies? They grow inside you.

Ripley:
[smiles] Oh, that's very different.

Newt:
Did you ever have a baby?

Ripley:
Yes, I did. I had a little girl.

Newt:
Where is she?

Ripley:
She's gone.

Newt:
You mean dead.

Ripley:
Here. Take this. [gives Newt her wristwatch] For luck. There's that. [switches off the light]

Newt:
[grabs Ripley's arm] Don't go, please.

Ripley:
Newt, I'm gonna be right in the next room. And you see that camera right up there? [points to security camera] I can see you right through that camera, all the time to see if you're safe. I'm not gonna leave you, Newt. I mean that. That's a promise.

Newt:
You promise?

Ripley:
I cross my heart.

Newt:
And hope to die?

Ripley:
And hope to die. [Newt hugs her, Ripley kisses her on the cheek] Now, go to sleep, and don't dream.
