58To destroy the aliens, Vasquez suggests doing what?
Answer: Nerve gassing the nest
Ripley's suggestion is that they take off and nuke the complex once in orbit. Prior to that Vasquez states, "We've got seven canisters of CN-20. I say we roll them in there and nerve gas the whole nest".

And that's about all the peace Ripley gets, from a video projector.
64Finish this conversation:
Newt: "My mommy always said there were no monsters, no real ones, but there are."
Ripley: "Yes there are, aren't there."
Newt: "Why would do they tell little kids that?"
Ripley: "____________________________"
Answer: Most of the time it's true.
It's not exactly the most reassuring line. Ripley tells this to Newt to help her sleep. Needless to say, it doesn't work. Ripley comes back later to find her hiding under her bed just before they both get attacked by a couple more parasites.
65Sensing that Burke has double-crossed her, Ripley checks the colony logs. Confronting him with her proof, she blames him for the deaths of one hundred and fifty-seven colonists. How is the colony log directive dated?

The date used on the directive is supposedly the opening date for the theatrical release of Ridley Scott's "Alien".

73Stranded on the disintegrating platform, Ripley holds Newt as the Alien Queen steps out of the elevator. What does Ripley say to Newt as the alien advances toward them?
Answer: "Close your eyes baby"
Fortunately Newt doesn't listen to Ripley. With her eyes open, she spots the drop ship ascending behind them. With Bishop piloting the craft, they depart the planet, LV-426, moments before it explodes.
74Why does Gorman order the Marines to not fire their weapons when they get into the area where the colonists are located?
Answer: It would create a thermal nuclear explosion.
This situation is very frustrating for the Marines, because Gorman never explains why they can't fire their weapons, so naturally they fire when the aliens started to attack. As Frost, one of the Marines that gets killed first says, "What are we supposed to do, use harsh language?"
