"And you let it in."

This is the line Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) says to Ash midway through 1979’s “Alien,” when they all begin to realize that Ash’s blatant violation of chain-of-command protocol has begun to take on ominous if not deadly proportions.

I think I’m going to start saying this whenever encountering those responsible for the Oval Office’s current occupant since – much like Ripley – I was quite adamant about the inherent dangers of opening that door.
