All right. We got seven canisters of CM-20. I say we roll them in there and nerve gas the whole fuckin' nest.Corporal Hicks:It's worth the try, but we don't know if that's gonna affect them.Private Hudson:Look let's just bug out and call it even, okay? What are we even talking about this for?Ripley:I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.Private Hudson:Fuckin' A!Burke:Hold on, hold on just a second. This installation has a substantial dollar value attached to it.Ripley:They can *bill* me.Burke:Okay, I know this is an emotional moment for all of us, okay? I know that.

Uh, no offense.Corporal Hicks: None taken.Corporal Hicks: Ferro, do you copy?Corporal Ferro: Standing by.Corporal Hicks:Prepare for dust-off. We're gonna need immediate evac.Corporal Ferro: Roger. On our way.Corporal Hicks:I say we take off, nuke the site from orbit.Corporal Hicks:It's the only way to be sure
