Alien (1979) - Trading Card #70


Parker and Lambert rush to Ripley's aid as Ash continues his mad attack. Suddenly, Ash's head is ripped from his body, revealing wires and circuits where tissue should be. "My God" gasps Lambert. "He's... an android!"

"It's a robot! Ash is a goddamn robot!" Is what Parker says, after knocking Ash's block off (literally, not figuratively) with a fire extinguisher. It took some close listening, but I could also suss out a muffled line of dialogue, "It's an android!" Spoken, once again, by Parker, just after Ash's head is knocked off. Lambert doesn't say anything.

I know, I know. If I keep picking at these nits they are going to get infected. So be it.

Here is some more compulsive nitpicking, just to be joyously pedantic, the image in this card occurs just before the image used on card 69.

Pointing out and correcting these trivial matters is how an aging man has fun these days, I guess. LOL.
