COUNTDOWN: 34
Ripley: How do we kill it Ash? There’s gotta 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? Perfect organism. Its 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: Look, I am - I’ve heard enough of this, and I’m asking you to pull the plug.
Ash: [Ripley goes to disconnect Ash, who interrupts] Last word.
Ripley: What?
Ash: I can’t lie to you about your chances, but… you have my sympathies.

OC Phil @ 61 - if you mean the building across the street from the Jewish fraternity, then yes.
As for waiting until Thursday morning to bail, it wasn’t totally clear how bad things were going given the fact that the po-po and the news crews were keeping a safe distance. It was when the University sent word that they weren’t going to vouch for the safety of anyone not in the Student Athletic Center under armed guard, that it became clear it was time to seek pastures new.

DC: If you stayed put until the corner of Hoover and Adams was burning then that either bespeaks foolishness or being hung like Reggin F’n Nelson. I was living in Newport Beach at the time and people down here were chatttering about rumors of unrest in Santa Ana.
Were you in the honors housing in the Pacific building? That’s were I was my junior and senoir years, that was a good time.
And to bring the discussion thread thread full-circle: It’s the bioweapons division of the company that wants Rey for urban pacification.
