Hello Scified! It is time for our second script recital. We did Alien last spring and now we will recite Alien Resurrection. There is a prizey prize for the member who delivers the last spoken line of the movie. Mods, Staff and Admin are also members. (The winner will need to PM me with shipping information).
The rules are pretty simple. You can post a line but have to wait to post another until someone else posts the next line. A caveat is if a line is only one to four words long- in that case, you may deliver two lines.
The winner will be the member whom delivers the final line of the script. Posting that line out of sequence of the script is not a win. The intent is to conduct the entire script top to bottom.
I encourage maximum participation. If I see no activity for approximately 24 hours, I will bump the thread with some random silly stuff. Some off script jocularity is allowed but we should not get too off topic. This competition will be several pages long by the time it is done.
To keep us on the same sheet of music, we will use the script provided by Black Winter Witch and AVP Galaxy.
I will give the first line to get it started and show the proper way to post.
Script:

I reserve the right to adjust if things are moving too slowly. ENJOY!
FOR NEWER MEMBERS!!! Here is a link to the last recital in case you are unfamiliar with the general flow:

VRIESS: (to Call) What's the matter?
IN SPACE THERE IS NO WARNING

Hillard adds in to the crew's mayhem of an entrance, "Yea, join the ****ing club."
(Perez just can't believe all the metal that's walking into this ship. He thinks it's probably worse than he can imagine since he's dealing with space pirates. Perez finds comfort, though, in the fact that he's getting what he's asked for. He reminds himself that this will all be over soon... hopefully sooner than soon. Perez than departs from the mezzanine overlooking inspections. It's time to get ready to handle the pay.)

(Perez drops a stack of bills on the table before Elgyn)
Perez- This wasn't easy to come by.

Elgyn comments, "Neither was our cargo. You're not pleading poverty, are you?" (Elgyn just has to remind Perez that he's more than just looks and has got a mind like a whip.)
(It comes from experience Perez reminds himself. An experience in dealing with an underworld and it's just a temporary part of the transaction._

Perez- We're well funded. I mean the bills. There's not many that still deal in coin.

Elgyn - Just the ones that don't like their every transaction recorded. The fringe element. I guess that would include though, wouldn't it?

Perez- Drink?
Elgyn- Constantly. I'm guessing whatever you've got going on here wasn't exactly approved by Congress

Perez (changing the subject) Where'd you pick up the new fish?

ELGYN: Call? Out by the handle. She was looking for a maintenance gig.
IN SPACE THERE IS NO WARNING

Perez replies with the satisfaction of control the subject, "Makes an impression."

Elgyn- She is very ****able, isn't she? And the very devil with a socket wrench. I think Vriess somewhat pines.

ELGYN: She is curious about this little transaction. You can hardly blame her. Awfully cloak-and-dagger...
IN SPACE THERE IS NO WARNING

(Perez hands a drink to Elgyn and Elgyn graciously accepts.)
Perez answers with, "This is an army operation." (Perez can't help but be a little intimidated by Elgyn. He knows he's manage to carry a weapon from inspection on him and he has a mind like a whip! Still, Perez reminds himself, I am part of the military. Perez comes to the conclusion that, sadly, that's probably the only thing keeping him alive. Perez just tells himself that he's just got to tolerate this momentarily.)

Elgyn (calling Perez out on his BS scripted response)
Most Army research labs don't have to operate outside of regulated space....and they don't call for the kind of cargo we brought....

Perez loses his temper some and snaps back, "Do you want something, Elgyn?

Elgyn (Besides general curiosity Elgyn couldn't give a **** what Perez was up to, but he knows he can push up a bargain for his crew if he pretends to probe and ask questions.)
just bed and board, couple of days worth. Vriess'll want to snag a few parts, if we're not imposing.

Perez-Me casa Su casa
Nothing the God of biomechanics wouldn't let you in heaven for

Elgyn drinks to that
Perez - I trust, of course, that you can mind your own business
Elgyn smiles - I'm famous for it (bribery done)

(After the "Betty" shipment was delivered and the eggs placed in front of the shipment.)
(Ripley is playing some basketball by herself.)
The "Betty" crew starts to enter. Johner's eye's flash with a spark as he sees Ripley playing basketball, "Ooh." He approaches Ripley and continues, "How about a little one on one?"

She keeps dribbling the basketball, says nothing
Johner - What do you say

Johner replies, "Are you gonna hurt me then? I think I might enjoy that." (Johner than makes a smile. Ripley thinks that he's not as ugly as she first thought before she saw that smile. He's still ugly though.)

(Noticing armed guards are waiting for something to happen)
Wren- Ripley. Don't let's have a scene.

[He falters a moment at her quiet threat, then:]
Johner - Are you gonna hurt me then? I think I might enjoy that.
Not a map, an invitation

Ripley calmly replies, "He... smells."
Johner speaks with barely a breathe in his lungs, "What the **** are you?"

[She looks down on him - in both senses of the phrase. Looks around at everyone staring at her. She spits a bif of blood out of her mouth. Exits, scooping up the basketball and easily sailing it into the basket as she goes.]
Wren - (speaking to Gediman) She is something of a predator, isn't she?
Not a map, an invitation
