Daily Dialogue — March 28, 2020

“This is Ripley, last survivor of the Nostromo, signing off.”

— Alien (1979), screenplay by Dan O’Bannon, story by Dan O’Bannon and Ronald Shusett

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Final Words.

Trivia: It was conceptual artist Ron Cobb who came up with the idea that the Alien should bleed acid. This came about when Dan O’Bannon couldn’t find a reason why the Nostromo crew wouldn’t just shoot the Alien with a gun.

Dialogue On Dialogue: A quiet reflective ending to a bombastic Act III.
