This particular screen test is interesting because Weaver reads for a scene that was infamously cut from the film: Ripley finding Dallas cocooned. It includes dialogue not present even in the director’s cut. Dallas tells Ripley that the alien ate Lambert.

Another fascinating scene from Alien left on the cutting room floor. Ripley consoles a clearly distraught Lambert, and asks if she had ever slept with Ash. Another moment people remember from the Foster novel but not from the actual film. As you can see the scene was restored and remastered- it was seriously considered for inclusion in the 2003 Director’s Cut version but ultimately still left out.
