Here's the first few bits...
I've actually skipped posting the opening, mainly cos I don't like a line or
two of it...
I'll fix it eventually!
Ye Star Beafte
by
Covenant Fakespeare
based on a script
by
Walter Hill
and
David Giler
based on screenplay
by
Dan O'Bannon
.....
LAMBERT
By the Lord, this chill is beyond the limit of Human
endurance!
PARKER
Brett, doth thou inhabit the land of the living?
BRETT
Verily.
RIPLEY
Indeed, we are fortunate.
They yawn, stretch, shiver.
Dallas looks over at a flashing yellow light.
KANE
My flesh is of the opinion that the hand of death hath
claimed me.
Yawns.
PARKER
In sooth, thine palour proclaims thy speech.
ASH
Indeed, t'is joyous that our return is nigh upon us.
PARKER
Harken to me, my comrades and compatriots!
It is in my heart that, (before the time is upon us from
whence we shall depart this fine vessel), t'would be
prudent that certain matters regarding our employ and
remuneration thereof should become the subject of much discussion.
BRETT
In sooth, tis true!
PARKER
Further, forsooth, it is in our minds that the booty we shall
be given upon completion of our mighty tasks within this
vessel should be increased forthwith.
DALLAS
It matters not what thou pair of jackanapes doth take
into thine empty heads, the monies thou shalt make will
be as of the amount agreed not a few months hence, as did
we all.
BRETT
But, is not sooth that thou, and all, shalt, in completion
of thine tasks receive many times the monies of which shall
we?
DALLAS
And is't not also sooth that I, and all, are more deserving
of said monies?
ASH
Mother is in desirance of thine company.
DALLAS
Indeed, I was aware.
A light of yellow shineth out.
Which in it's mute insistence shows
that all which passes t'ween us both
is for mine eyes, set quite apart,
of lesser mortals such as those.
