Burke: Okay, look. What if that ship didn't even exist, huh? Did you ever think about that? I didn't know! So now, if I went in and made a major security issue out of it, everybody steps in. Administration steps in, and there are no exclusive rights for anybody; nobody wins. So I made a decision and it was... wrong. It was a bad call, Ripley. It was a bad call. Ripley: Bad call? [Ripley grabs Burke by his vest and shoves him against a wall] Ripley: These people are dead, Burke! Don't you have any idea what you have done here?
