Ripley <http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000244/> : Lieutenant, what do those
pulse rifles fire?
Gorman <http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0394054/> : 10 millimeter explosive tip
caseless. Standard light armor piercing round, why?
Ripley <http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000244/> : Well, look where your team
is. They're right under the primary heat exchangers.
Gorman <http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0394054/> : So?
Ripley <http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000244/> : So, if they fire their
weapons in there, won't they rupture the cooling system?
Burke <http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001663/> : [interjecting] Ho, ho, ho.
Yeah, she's absolutely right.
Gorman <http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0394054/> : [turns round to Burke] So? So
what?
Burke <http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001663/> : Look, this whole station is
basically a big fusion reactor...
[Gorman turns back to stare, horrified, at the screen]
Burke <http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001663/> : ...right? So you're talkin'
about a thermonuclear explosion and "Adiós, muchachos."
Gorman <http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0394054/> : Oh, great. Wonderful. Shit!
