58To destroy the aliens, Vasquez suggests doing what?

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.

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

Answer: "Close your eyes baby"

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?"
