The Alien Legacy

00:00:19 Dan came to my door one day, was a fan of my cartoons, and wanted to meet me.

00:02:46 ...because I had an option on the short story by Phil Dick then...

00:05:09 I moved into Ron"s, moved in on his sofa, slept for a week -

00:07:39 ...and this script came in.

00:10:23 ...and it needs something to hold...

00:13:21 And I tried to make drawings of my dreams.

00:15:57 Ridley, he never wanted to show the actors the alien.

00:18:35 Look, I just run the ship. Anything to do with the science division, Ash has the final word.

00:21:24 There"s a patch on the back here which is a stylised Union Jack.

00:24:03 It"s insulated all the way here, all the way up to here.

00:26:21 (hissing)

00:29:14 Like a Concorde, yeah?

00:32:25 (Lambert) What time is it?

00:35:02 In fact, Sigourney"s pretty tall.

00:37:50 For me the alien world was my biomechanical world...

00:40:42 ...and it"s got an inch and a half of plaster on it, it"s not so easy.

00:43:53 They had to be first transparent... that you could see inside the movements of the alien -

00:47:21 He came in with his arm bound up with a sack around it...

00:49:52 That"s where she disappears over the back of the seat, but she got up actually quite green.

00:52:31 ...cos I was starting to witness, um...

00:55:25 ...and the interlocking jaw within the jaw.

00:58:23 l"II get you up to the shuttle.

01:02:01 I stepped out to smoke a cigarette and a guy came and said "You chicken?"

02:00:03 you didn"t wanna make that in the workshop...
