Keys They're gonna have to take him away now.
They're just gonna cut him all up.
Keys Would you like to spend some time alone with him?
Look at what they've done to you. I'm so sorry. You must be dead, 'cause I don't know how to feel. I can't feel anything anymore. You've gone someplace else now. I'll believe in you all my life, every day. E.T., I love you.
Hi, honey, how do you feel? What happened in here?
Oh, you mean my room?
This is no room, this is an accident.
Well, I'm, um, reorganizing.
I can see that. Put those shelves back on the wall. Get your toys off the floor. Make your bed since you're not using it. Well, you're feeling much better, I see. Would you guys mind keeping an eye on Gertie for me while I take a shower? [kisses Elliott's forehead]
Absolutely. Bye, Mom.
It's not that we don't believe you, honey.
Well, it was real, I swear...
Maybe it was an iguana.
It was no iguana.
Maybe a, a, you know how they say there are alligators in the sewers.
Alligators in the sewers.
All we're trying to say is, 'Maybe you just probably imagined it.'
I couldn't have imagined it!
Maybe it was a pervert, a deformed kid or something?
A deformed kid.
Maybe an elf or a leprechaun?
It was nothing like that, penis breath!
Elliott! Sit down.
Dad would believe me.
Maybe you ought to call your father and tell him about it.
I can't. He's in Mexico with Sally.
Where's Mexico?
Excuse me. [leaves the table and walks to the window]
If you ever see it again, whatever it is, don't touch it. Just call me and we'll have somebody come and take it away.
Like the dogcatcher?
They'll give it to a lobotomy or do experiments on it or something.
It's your turn to do the dishes, fellas.
I set and cleared.
I set and cleared.
I did breakfast.
Damn it! Why don't you grow up? Think about how other people feel for a change!
What are you doing, Gertie?
I'm going to play in Elliott's room.
O.K., don't let them torture you.
I won't, Mary.
Where's Elliott? I'm asking you a question.
Anyways, why would Elliott go to the forest? Why would he do such a thing? [smiles]
Get in the car. [smiles] Get in the car now.
How do you explain school to a higher intelligence?
Maybe he's not that smart. Maybe he's a worker bee who only knows how to push buttons.
He's too smart.
All right. I just hope we don't wake up on Mars surrounded by millions of these squashy little guys.
I'm keeping him.
What is it?
He won't hurt you, Gertie. He won't hurt you, Gertie. He's not gonna hurt you.
Is he a boy or a girl?
He's a boy.
Was he wearing any clothes?
No. But look. You can't tell, not even Mom.
Why not?
Because, um, grown-ups can't see him. Only little kids can see him.
Well, do you know what's going to happen if you do tell? [to Gertie] ...you promise?
Maybe it's some animal that wasn't supposed to live? Like those rabbits we saw. Could be a monkey or an orangutan.
A bald monkey?
Is he a pig? He sure eats like one.
They're only feet, you little twerp. He's trying to tell us something. [to E.T.] Earth. [he touches the globe] Home. Home. Home.
Home. [points out the window at the sky]
Mom, would you come with me?
What is it?
Mary, just come with me.
Michael, what?
Mom, remember the goblin?
Michael, what are you talking about?
Just swear the most excellent promise you can make.
Where's the playground?
It's near the preschool!
Where's that?
I don't know streets! Mom always drives me!
Son of a bitch.
Does he sleep at night?
I don't know, I don't know. What's the matter with Elliott?
Have you noticed any surfaced sweating?
No.
Has it lost any hair?
He never had any hair.
Are the children all right.
Yes.
Has it built anything or write anything down?
Uh, no.
You said it has the ability to manipulate its own environment?
He's smart. He communicates through Elliott.
Elliott thinks its thoughts.
No, Elliott... Elliott feels his feelings.
Oh, great.
So you got an arrow right in your chest.
Don't worry. I got resurrection.
I'm already one of the undead, Greg. I can still throw death spells, huh, Steve?
I'm just trying to help you out, man. Don't be so cranky.
Throw the spell over the pizza man. Where's the pizza, man?
I'm ready... now to play. I'm ready to play now, you guys.
We're in the middle, Elliott. You can't just join any universe in the middle.
You have to ask Steve. He's game master. He has absolute power.
Just figure your strategy. You're playing after Greg.
Plenty of sausage and pepperonis.
Everything but the little fishies.
Something is happening.
Shut up, Greg.
Something is definitely happening.
Hey, Elliott, where's your goblin?
Shut up.
Did he come back?
Well, did he?
Yeah, he came back. But he's not a goblin. [blurts out] He's a spaceman.
Where's he from? Uranus. Get it. Your anus?
He doesn't get it Ty.
Get it? Your anus?
He doesn't get it.
You're so immature!
And you're such a sinus supremus.
Zero charisma!
Sinus supremus!
Zero charisma!
Sinus supremus!
Shut up, Greg!
Pretty Young Girl Hi, Elliott.
Sinus supremus!
Zero charisma!
You wimp!
Oh, great. Nice one, Elliott.
It was an accident.
A pizza? Who says you guys could order a pizza?
In the house.
You geek, man.
Mom, it was real, I swear.
