[In other circumstances, Ripley might find some offense at being called lady in such a crass manner, but there's no time to argue about semantics. Her hands are stained in putrid blood as she gets dragged up onto her feet. It takes a moment or two before her legs start to work again and she begins to run, jerking away from his grip.

There--over there! A bar, preferably without organs inside. She gestures for the stranger to follow as she dashes across the street, slamming open the door and stumbling inside. The bartender briefly glances towards the door, unimpressed, before going right back to mixing drinks.]
Jesus Christ. [--Is all she can manage for a few moments as she catches her breath. She moves to rub her face, but then stops when she sees the blood on her hand.
