13. Gibson's Alien^3 script part7
BISHOP
You're a species again, Hicks. United against a common enemy...
HICKS
Yeah?
BISHOP
The source, Hicks. You'll have to trace them back, find the point of origin.
The first source and destroy it.
HICKS
I don't know, Bishop. Maybe we oughtta just stay out of their way...
BISHOP
You can't, Hicks. This goes far beyond mere interspecies competition. These
creatures are to biological life what antimatter is to matter.
HICKS
How do you mean?
BISHOP
There isn't room for the both of you, Hicks, not in this universe.
HICKS
That's crazy, Bishop...
BISHOP
No. You're already at war, Hicks. War to extermination. The alien knows no
other mode.
HICKS
Hell, man, we been at war all my life. Near enough, anyway. With her (he looks
down at the Vietnamese commando). With all her brothers and sisters. That's
what got us into this shit in the first place!
BISHOP
But now you've seen the enemy, Hicks. So has she. She's not it. Neither are
you. This is a Darwinian universe, Hicks. Will the alien be the ultimate
survivor?
Hicks doesn't answer. He just looks at Bishop. Bishop goes back to repairing
his circuitry.
CLOSE ON:
Spence's sleeping face and the face of the dying commando.
DISSOLVE TO:
EXT. SPACE
Approach of a large ship.
The PING of homing radar.
ANGLE ON THE HULL
As it slides past, enormous letters: KANSAS CITY
EXT. SPACE - ANGLE UP
>From below Kansas City as a wide bay opens up.
The interceptor comes into frame and is drawn up into the brightly lit hold.
The bay closes.
EXT. SPACE
Kansas City. Receding. Gone.
The stars.
FADE OUT
THE END whip-thin like the original.
