Aliens1986

Ripley:
I don't believe this. You guys throw me to the wolves, and now you want me to go back out there? Forget it. It's not my problem.

Burke:
Can I finish?

Ripley:
No. There's no way.

Gorman:
Ripley, you wouldn't be going in with the troops. I can guarantee your safety.

Burke:
These Colonial Marines are very tough hombres. They're packing state-of-the-art firepower. There's nothing they can't handle. Lieutenant, am I right?

Gorman:
That's true. We've been trained to deal with situations like this.

Ripley:
[scoffs] You don't need me. I'm not a soldier.

Burke:
All right. We don't know what's going on out there. Maybe it's just a downed transmitter, all right? But if it's not... I'd like you to go there as an adviser. And that's all.

Ripley:
What's your interest in all this? Why are you going?

Burke:
Corporation co-financed that colony along with Colonial Administration. We're going into a lot of terraforming, building better worlds-

Ripley:
Yeah, yeah, I saw the commercial. Look, I don't have time for this. I've gotta get to work.

Burke:
Oh, yeah. I heard you're working at the cargo docks.

Ripley:
Right.

Burke:
Driving loaders and forklifts.

Ripley:
Yeah. So?

Burke:
Nothing. It's just good you're keeping busy. Also, I know it's the only job you could get. It's nothing wrong [pause] What would you say if I told you I could get you reinstated as a flight officer? The company has already agreed to pick up your contract.

Ripley:
If I go.

Burke:
Yeah, if you go. Come on, that's a second chance, kiddo. I personally think that you should face this thing, get back on horse-

Ripley:
Spare me, Burke. I've already had my psych evaluation this month.

Burke:
Yeah, I know, I've read it. You wake up every night, your sheets soaking-

Ripley:
[angrily] I said no, and I mean it! [in normal voice again] Now please, leave. I'm not going back. And I... I wouldn't be any good to you if I did.

Burke:
Okay, shhh. Just do one thing for me, okay? Think this over [leaves calling card]

Gorman:
[leaving along with Burke] Thanks for the coffee.
