This dialogue is so believable, it doesn’t even sound scripted. Just as if two people were having an uncomfortable topic to discuss, without having prepared a speech, it feels improvised. Just perfect.
Actually, the script writers should have had Ripley answer Ashe "No, you're not doing your job when you break quarantine. Kane may have survived quarantine or he may die in here. Either way, we don't know for certain what might have happened and your breaking quarantine was wreckless and I'll report you when we get back to Earth.That is, if we survive your breaking quarantine."
Love the fake smile Ash makes at 0:56. Watched this move a zillion times, this scene being a favorite, but not noticed this until now. He really hates her, haha.
Even after he is talking to Ripley and others before is disconnected after it is revealed he is a robot he smiles at Ripley and it is chilling when he says you have my sympathy and smiles.
Good catch, I interpret it that Ash wanted to make it look like he was leaving to go to sleep as he turned off the monitor for that reason. Because there's no reason he should have turned it off, unless it was to leave the lab for bedtime.
What makes this so classic,..is the slow paced, back and forth dialogue, coupled with the flashing old school computer boards, and the mind numbing fear of the situation at hand & being this far in outer space.
Great scene by two terrific actors. Many forget just how strong this cast was as they were overshadowed at times by the special effects and of course the new arch enemy at that time.
Apart from Ian Holm's brilliant performance, the inclusion of Ash in the screenplay was both inspired and essential. Without this subplot, the film would have run its course as an exceptional, but very narrowly focused suspense/horror film. You know something is up with Ash. Both with what he does and his mannerisms, but it is impossible to guess what his nature and motives are. Every time he behaves suspiciously, or oddly, he can resort to some justification, or acceptable reason, or display natural behavior. He's a last minute replacement on the crew, so he's going to be ill at ease with the others. As science officer he's most responsible for solving the situation, but he's out of his depth like the others. His suggestions / strategies are doomed to fail, but who could know or do better. It's a shame that the sequels re-used this idea, because you can forget just how unusual it was in 1979.
His acting is amazing. He claims he just wanted to save the guy and was willing to risk everyone's lives to save him, but he's so cold and calculating, and selfish, that we are know he'd never risk himself like that for a crew member he's not even close to. His answers are perfect and he rebuffs all her questions, but she knows he's up to something and he's not on her side.
Just noticed, in a deleted scene you can see when all the crew is back at the Infirmary after looking for the acid hole and Ripley ask for a dark stain on Kane's lungs in the scanner. Ash says he doesn't know what it is and is blocking the scanner . This scene was depicted in the novelization but we never saw the screen with the stain, and now after decades of watching this movie just saw one big dark bloat on those screens that Ash turned off. OMG.
This scene between android and human is something Ridley Scott would explore later with Blade Runner. What is interesting is how Ash plays the human role by saying if he didn’t allow the Alien on board, Kane would have died so his decision was the most humane, Ripley becomes the cold robotic character that follows procedure over life. It’s the same in Blade Runner, where you can’t tell the androids from the humans….
i've had a hell of a time trying to find this scene. This one and Ripley's quaranteen scene. These two are some of the more defining, rationality scenes in the movie!
It is very obvious that Ash had no intent of communicating with the rest of the crew. Especially' Ripley who is very observant of everything going on the ship, And with the crew. Ash wanted to protect the alien at all costs. Regardless' of lives.
@@Matchhead79 how stupid do you have to be to think that the coronavirus is “hoax” in anyway? You are unbelievable stupid. Please stop talking, period. Your ignorance and stupidity is disgusting and vile.
The whole damned nightmare we seem to be immersed in reminds me A LOT of the story of Alien. Ripley's line at 1:12 keeps running over and over and over in my mind: "And YOU let him in."
@@patriciagray2708 - Oh, really? Do you think the buck stopped with him? Traditionally, who has the sign on his desk that says, "The buck stops here," eh?
I wonder if somebody watching this movie for the first time, without knowing anything about it, would start thinking of Ripley as the villain from this point on. I mean she was willing to let Kane die, that wouldn't look very heroic to anybody who doesn't know how things unfold later
One could argue that Alien Isolation is a purer sequel to the original Alien than James Cameron's film. Replicating the look and tone of the first film while doing something different.
@@daustin8888 eh true but what made aliens great was that it was different. It wasnt doing the same thing as the original. And aliens is still very scary. It just has a dose of action
The ambient Foley art (the haunting, undulating whoo-hoo) is amazing. It underpins and amplifies both the sense of unease and tension between Ripley and Ash and deepens the wider sense of dread for everyone on board the ship. It's the sound of an as-yet revealed, but burgeoning horror. Pure paranoia. Alien is, very simply, in my opinion, the best movie ever made. Made for peanuts as well. For example, the shots of the Nostromo approaching the planet/moon were created by hoisting the massive model of the ship onto a forklift truck draped with a huge sheet of black velvet and driven, in pitch darkness towards a backboard that would later have the dramatic space-scape added. All that was created with the classic use of inks and substances of varying viscosities dropped into a water tank and then backlit and shot. See also: the clouds during the approach of the UFOs in Close Encounters (when the kid is abducted). CGI fucked a lot of creativity and innovation up.
Ash: "Good Morning Ripley." Ripley: "Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?" Ash: "All of the above I suppose, yes? Well, Good Morning." Ripley: ""What a lot of things you do use Good morning for! Now you mean that you want to get rid of me, and that it won't be good till I move off.”
Ridley Scott did a great job of waiting until near the end to reveal that Ash was a synthetic or artificial person if you prefer that . I would have made Ash a tougher Android so that he can take bigger blows
This scene is brilliant: it clearly establishes that something is up with Ash, that he must be shady somehow. But his stressed out reaction shows us, that he's definitely very human, right? It's another one of several scenes showing that the camaraderie of the crew is only skin-deep and there are many unresolved conflicts all fueled of course by the company in the end.
Clearly a developing embryo on the screen that Ash turned off. I'm listening to the novelization audiobook right now and Ripley brought up the stain. Dallas confirms it, but Ash plays it off as equipment malfunctions and offers to "clean the lens" and bullshits through it. Dallas just gives up and says he doesn't care unless the stain gets bigger. If Promtheus is a prequel to Alien, then Ash had all the info he needed and knew exactly what was happening to Kane. He purposefully hid it from the rest of the crew and just pretended to be complacent.
for an android, Ash is genuinely pissy, and barely able to conceal his contempt for the meddlesome human Ripley. Saw this in the theater back in the day. Its power has not diminished over the years.
You know what, we need to give some heat to Captain Dallas too. He was ordering her to break quarantine. Was also relaxing half the time. How'd he get the job in the first place? jock privilege i guess
David’s character in the prequels perfectly tees up Asha’s character. There is a real continuity between David and Ash to the extent that they almost feel like the same character. Exactly the same cold and callous admiration for this “perfect organism”. I even wonder if Ash had access to some of David’s research from the Engineer home world which he sent back to Weyland. One thing that’s quite amusing about Ash is that it was the icy persona of a scientist that allowed him to go undetected as a robot. Scientists might not find that quite so amusing.
Ultimately Ash was only doing what he was PROGRAMMED to do. Now David on the other hand from Prometheus and Alien: Covenant....it seemed he had entirely free will when he started experiment with the black goo that ultimately resulted in his creation of the Xenomorphs Anyhow Ash was placed in Nostromo directly by the ppl in Weyland-Yutani corporation who knew that there were this alien lifeform out there (deleted scene from Alien: Covenant suggests that it was indeed David who informed them) and it was his orders/programming to make sure that the alien lifeform would get back to Earth and that the crew was expendable to achieve that goal
So what is the creature Ash is looking at? People think it is the version of alien inside Kane, which makes sense but the full grown Alien has no eyes!
What I like him telling Ripley, "you do your job, let me do mine", is that he WAS doing his job, but he had to let her think he was being reckless and incompetent to avoid being found out. His irritation was clear here
It always annoyed me she doesnt retort to all that "I take my responsibilities, you do your job, let me do mine". She is doing her job, by questioning you for not doing yours. 'Forgot' the protocol?! I know she probably sees that the f%cker will pass unpunished and theres no point of further arguing, but its still very annoying.
mi pelicula preferida .. en cada una de las peliculas de Alien de la 1 a la 4. Ripley tiene diferente doblaje al español. en Alien 1 el octavo pasajero , el doblaje es espectacular , la voz de Ripley es muy dulce y tierna. excelente doblaje al español. spanish😍
It's interesting you say that. In a deleted scene, Ripley has started to suspect he's a robot and asks Lambert if she's ever slept with Ash in a way that implies casual sex among the crew is normal. As such, Ripley may have viewed Ash as a potential sex partner herself, at first. Maybe their scenes were shot with that kind of tension in mind. After all, he does try to kill her by shoving a pornographic magazine down her throat on a bed surrounded with sexual imagery.
What was ripleys role vs ash’s role on the ship? Was he a medic? She refers to him as a science officer. Maybe he was a geologist given it was a mining ship?
Look at that old ass pc! It hurts me eyes! Lol nevertheless great great scene! The pitch and tone in which they stated lines along with the ship making that subtle noise in the background was perfect.
@@katiebayliss9887 lol interesting. I guess it fit the time period. Cameron did the best he could with the technology he had then. This movie needs to be badly updated though. By that I mean, rebooting the whole series. It would obviously be so much better in 2018. The right people have to do it though cause this is a perfect film.
@@katiebayliss9887 Well when I say updated, i just mean redoing all four movies but only this time with much better tech. For example, James waited ten years to make avatar, if james hadn't waited, it probably wouldn't of been as good. If somebody remade the alien movies in this day and age, they would be even better unless you want a 70s style remake. That wouldn't be bad either.
True but he was an android programmed to do that. So its really the company, Weyland-Yutani that is to blame....or if you take into account Prometheus and Alien: Covenant as prequels, then the blame falls for the other android David who started experimenting with the black goo the Engineers had created, ultimately resulting in creation of the Xenomorphs ...and I think in deleted scene of Covenant its suggested that David was the one who informed Weyland-Yutani of what he had created and thats how they even had knowledge of the xenomorphs and the ship's location that stored the eggs. And ofc who was responsible of creating David in the first place? Peter Weyland. So ultimately if you want to seek ppl to blame, then it would be Peter Weyland, he ultimately started it all by wanting to seek out the Engineers and seek immortality.
Nope! It wasn't deleted. This scene is, indeed, included in the movie. And, yes, it's VERY crucial to the storyline! It reveals what a little snake Ash was! See him turn off the monitor showing the alien embryo and stretch like he's ready for bed! 🐍🐍🐍
Watching it as a 9 year old at the time he was just outstanding. Years later realizing there's TONS of clues along the way that there's something off about him.
Ash's programming probably sense Ripley would be the problem more than anyone else even before the door scene. Dallas and everybody else was just like, "let's just get the job done and get home, and get paid". I mean, on a ship, a LONG way from home with finite resources to keep you alive, no disrespect to Kane but, HOW COULD YOU LET THAT ON YOUR SHIP LOL?!?
Se Dallas sarebbe piu disponibile a dare retta a suo equipaggio....ma no,luisempre sulle sue unica cosa che no bella in questo personagio.attori meravigliosi.
Ive been to similar situations, if you want to know the truth, you forget about tension, or embarrassment, you're after the truth and its all that matters..
The biggest problem is how the issue is handled after the face hugger dies. Its like no big deal. Making me believe Dallas was in on it and knew what Ash was doing. Ripley was right.
![Alien: Resurrection - It's A Queen. She'll Breed, You'll Die [HD]](/img/n.gif)
Perfectly captures the feel of two co-workers trying to stay civil while clearly BARELY being able to tolerate each other’s presence.
Why did ash dislike ripley though if he was a robot. Had she done anything prior to this apart from a minor objection to them letting Kane in?

This scene absolutely nails the dynamic of a subordinate getting grilled by his boss. Amazing writing and acting.
And brilliantly executed because Ripley wasn't actually Ash's boss. Weyland-Yutani was. And this was a big clue he was NOT as he appeared.
Even today, this is still a film like no other.
Absolutely agree.

One of many brilliant scenes in this movie. The hostility between Ash and Ripley is thick enough to cut with a knife.
i love how he casually tries to turn of the screen while stretching. I usually do that when someone catches me looking up porn.

He had a Freudian Slip. His "Direct Order" was the Company order to bring back an Alien to Weyland Yuttani HQ. He let it slip out of the bag.
Why was there a science officer on a freighter to begin with?
he seems to test the atmosphere, and is their de facto medic, I suppose.
they never noticed he didn't go to the toilet
he maybe pretend...but he and Bishop eat though
A little skittish arent you Ash? what are you trying to hide? Hmmmm?
Look at that old ass pc! It hurts me eyes! Lol nevertheless great great scene! The pitch and tone in which they stated lines along with the ship making that subtle noise in the background was perfect.
Jay Smith lol I kinda find it aesthetically pleasing in a scifi way and didn't grow up around them.
@@katiebayliss9887 lol interesting. I guess it fit the time period. Cameron did the best he could with the technology he had then. This movie needs to be badly updated though. By that I mean, rebooting the whole series. It would obviously be so much better in 2018. The right people have to do it though cause this is a perfect film.
Jay Smith why does it have to be updated?
@@katiebayliss9887 Well when I say updated, i just mean redoing all four movies but only this time with much better tech. For example, James waited ten years to make avatar, if james hadn't waited, it probably wouldn't of been as good. If somebody remade the alien movies in this day and age, they would be even better unless you want a 70s style remake. That wouldn't be bad either.
Jay Smith Except Avatar was awful.
Because of Ash, EVERY ONE on that ship and countless others lost their lives and it almost heralded the end of humankind.
True but he was an android programmed to do that. So its really the company, Weyland-Yutani that is to blame....or if you take into account Prometheus and Alien: Covenant as prequels, then the blame falls for the other android David who started experimenting with the black goo the Engineers had created, ultimately resulting in creation of the Xenomorphs ...and I think in deleted scene of Covenant its suggested that David was the one who informed Weyland-Yutani of what he had created and thats how they even had knowledge of the xenomorphs and the ship's location that stored the eggs. And ofc who was responsible of creating David in the first place? Peter Weyland. So ultimately if you want to seek ppl to blame, then it would be Peter Weyland, he ultimately started it all by wanting to seek out the Engineers and seek immortality.
@@Balnazzardi yes agreed,, Ash is just a pawn, it could have been someone or something else...its the company which holds accountability
Symbol over the computer reminds me alot of zoroastrian symbol ahura mazda .
This was a deleted scene?? It seems terribly crucial.
Nope! It wasn't deleted. This scene is, indeed, included in the movie. And, yes, it's VERY crucial to the storyline! It reveals what a little snake Ash was! See him turn off the monitor showing the alien embryo and stretch like he's ready for bed! 🐍🐍🐍
Here is a clue for all of you comments people when he drinks milk in a cup he is not human so keep a eye on it when he drinks milk
I like a lot this scene, no sure why
This movie was Ian Holm’s big break. At that time he was only known for his UK stage performances.
Watching it as a 9 year old at the time he was just outstanding. Years later realizing there's TONS of clues along the way that there's something off about him.
Oh!
Mr. Robot Ash forgot , Ripley is in charge when senior officers are off the ship?
How forgetful can be a robot?
Ash's programming probably sense Ripley would be the problem more than anyone else even before the door scene. Dallas and everybody else was just like, "let's just get the job done and get home, and get paid". I mean, on a ship, a LONG way from home with finite resources to keep you alive, no disrespect to Kane but, HOW COULD YOU LET THAT ON YOUR SHIP LOL?!?
Everyone Ash is the real villain he is so evil!!
rockn roll what does that mean
Se Dallas sarebbe piu disponibile a dare retta a suo equipaggio....ma no,luisempre sulle sue unica cosa che no bella in questo personagio.attori meravigliosi.
Tense as hell.
Ive been to similar situations, if you want to know the truth, you forget about tension, or embarrassment, you're after the truth and its all that matters..
The biggest problem is how the issue is handled after the face hugger dies. Its like no big deal. Making me believe Dallas was in on it and knew what Ash was doing.
Ripley was right.
Don't let the alien in!
In Alien Covenant the genetic creation of an artificial lifeform to infest humans shows the reason cultures used to have opium wars .
let's see what happens next...
If only the science officer’s name was Dan
Sneaky ash😎
LATER ASH IS GOING TO GRAB RIPLEYS SHIRT
...and a tuft of hair.
Ash says collating twice at different points of the movie that kind of gives you a clue
I've got access to mother now and I'll get my own answers
Lionel Hutz Another clue Ash was running in place while waiting on Kane, Lambert, Dallas exploring the alien thing
