Distress Signal

"If you breathe on a horses nostrils, you can make him yours for life;

But you have to get close enough first..."

Question: 

What was the Masonic signal of distress used by the grocer B. F. Morgan when Dillinger tried to rob him in 1924?

Answer: 

It consists in holding your arms outward, bent upward 90 degrees at the elbow, and shouting, 

"Will nobody help the widow's son?"

Dallas 

"MOTHER"s interrupted our journey course.

Kane 

Why?

Dallas 

Yeah. Shes programmed to do that should certain

conditions arise. 

They have.

Parker 

Like what?

Dallas 

It seems she has intercepted 

A Transmission of Unknown Origin. 

She got us up to check it out.

Ripley 

A Transmission? Out here?

Dallas 

Yeah.

Lambert 

What kind of a transmission?

Dallas 

Acoustical beacon, that repeats at intervals of 12 seconds.

Kane 

SOS?

Dallas 

I don't know.

Ripley 

Human?

Dallas 

Unknown.

Parker 

So what? [Laughs.]

Kane 

We are obligated under Section...

Parker 

I hate to bring this up, but this is a commercial ship, not a

rescue ship.

Brett 

Right.

Parker 

Its not in my contract, this kind of duty. 

And what about the

money? 

If you wanna give me some money, Id be happy to

oblige. 

Right. Lets go over the bonus situation.

Ash: 

There is a clause in the contract which specifically states any systematized transmission indicating a possible intelligent origin must be investigated. 

Parker: 

I don't wanna hear it... 

Brett: 

We don't know if it's intelligent. 

Parker: 

I wanna go home and party. 

Dallas: 

Parker, will you just listen to the man? 

Ash: 

On penalty of total forfeiture of shares. 

No money. 

Dallas: 

You got that? 

Parker: [chuckling] 

Well, yeah. 

Dallas: 

All right, we're going in. 

Parker: [to Brett] 

Yeah, we're going in, aren't we?
