02:02script she read so far is a very strong first 50 pages and added that she thinking about working with
02:09walter to see what the rest of the story would be it would not be running around air shafts it would
02:14be a very different kind of alien she noted scary of course the alien does show up inevitable but i love
02:22what he's done with the character he really gets her strength and her anger and her humor and it's
02:27very hard to write and surprisingly hard to write ripley
