Survival is a very primal aspect that can come out of us in the most tense of situations. This girl no matter what, was listening to her instinct and not trusting the guy. Even though the irrefutable proof was in her face that something was indeed wrong with the outside air in how it corroded that lady's face, but this girl kept fighting and fighting to get out.
This is what the whole movie is about. How if it wasn't for Howard, she would be dead by the aliens. She went from undecidedish fanshion designer to survivor, and with all that momentum to get away from Howard, she pwned the aliens.
Great movie! -

"You possibly don't respect women?
Sometimes they do have common sense and can figure stuff out!!!! "
Yes indeed, they sure can. Well, in movies anyway. That's why this film is science fiction. "Fiction", means it isn't based on reality, y'all. Women, in the real world, could never do such advanced things, like figuring stuff out, or maintain even an entry-level degree of common sense. It just doesn't happen.
But in Sci-Fi, anything is possible! That's the beauty!!!
Monsters can rise from the bowels of the earth. Aliens can forcibly date-rape your face and cause you to carry their illegitimate offspring. And equally outlandish.women can behave as intelligent and thinking beings.
You see? That's the wonder and excitement of Sci-Fi. It's a majestic, entertaining, brilliant fantasy world in which we can escape the sad and troubling realities which we face every day.
Isn't Sci-Fi great??? -

She used the bottle as a vehicle of throwing fire into the alien/space craft. If the whiskey was flammable isn't the point. The chemicals in that spacecraft were, hence the explosion once it met with fire. She couldn't just throw a piece of paper on fire because it wouldn't make it that far, which is the point of the bottle.

I didn't have a problem with her being that resourceful and coming up with the Molotov cocktail on the spot, I just wish the writers had put clear glass bottle full of what must be Howard's home brew "vodka". That stuff could have been distilled to near 200 proof and would definitely have made a fireball when thrown at ET.
