from [i]Alien[/i]: Ellen Ripley: Ash can you hear me? Ash!? Ash: [Eyes open] Yes I can hear you. Ellen Ripley: What was your special order? Ash: You read it, I thought it was clear. Ellen Ripley: What was it? Ash: Bring back life form, priority one, all other priorities are rescinded. Parker: The damn Company. What about our lives you son of a bitch? Ash: I repeat, all other priorities are rescinded. Ellen Ripley: How do we kill it Ash, there's got to be a way of killing it, how, how do we do it? Ash: You can't. Parker: That's bullshit! Ash: You still don't understand what you're dealing with do you? A perfect organism. It's structural perfection is matched only by its hostility. Lambert: You admire it. Ash: I admire its purity. A survivor, unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality. Parker: I've heard enough of this and i'm asking you to pull the plug. Ash: Last word. Ellen Ripley: What? Ash: I can't lie to you about your chances, but, you have my sympathies. [Smiles] Ellen Ripley: [Pulls the plug]

[quote]"A perfect organism. It's structural perfection is matched only by its hostility."[/quote] Killer one. It took me some time to understand how it was so true.
Uncertainty is the only certainty there is, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security.

I love Alien for many reasons. And one of them Is for this scene and all that is said in a summarized kind of way... not to mention Ash's bodyless head talking and twitching.

Well Ash had nothing below him, to lose in telling the truth.

Well he tried having sex with Ripley by using a magazine, now that is one messed up robot. Parker has one good punch that he must have been saving for the right time.

good point, it is like all their lying protocols are stored in the body not the head.

This is a chilling, original and brilliant part of the film: a decapitated android head telling them they are dealing with a "perfect organism" that can't be killed and has no "remorse or delusions of morality". It also serves to make the alien even more frightening and disturbing.
