Transcript: English

#36: If Aliens has taught me anything, it's that you can airlock all your problems away.
Alexs surveys a tall stack of dirty dishes in her kitchen.
Alex (sadly): Man, I hate doing dishes. What a drag.
She then looks sideways at the airlock door immediately behind her.
Caption: *also, this is the future*
The exterior of a spaceship is seen as the load of dishes are ejected into space.

    Unfortunately, you eventually run out of dishes.. and air.

    But running out of air is the ultimate problem solver, so the theory still applies…

    …I do so love the second panel!

    Watching Ripley’s evolution through the four movies (well, sort-of in the fourth) is one of the most fascinating things about the series.

    See, now if you kept all those random dishes I gave you, this would be a pretty viable plan- as you’d have infinite plates etc.

    XD
