A scene from E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial 1982
Mary

It's not that we don't believe you, honey.

Elliott

Well, it was real, I swear...

Michael

Maybe it was an iguana.

Elliott

It was no iguana.

Michael

Maybe a, a, you know how they say there are alligators in the sewers.

Gertie

Alligators in the sewers.

Mary

All we're trying to say is, 'Maybe you just probably imagined it.'

Elliott

I couldn't have imagined it!

Michael

Maybe it was a pervert, a deformed kid or something?

Gertie

A deformed kid.

Michael

Maybe an elf or a leprechaun?

Elliott

It was nothing like that, penis breath!

Mary

Elliott! Sit down.

Elliott

Dad would believe me.

Mary

Maybe you ought to call your father and tell him about it.

Elliott

I can't. He's in Mexico with Sally.

Gertie

Where's Mexico?

Mary

Excuse me. [leaves the table and walks to the window]

Michael

[softly to Elliott]

I'm gonna kill you.

Mary

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.

Gertie

Like the dogcatcher?

Elliott

They'll give it to a lobotomy or do experiments on it or something.

Mary

It's your turn to do the dishes, fellas.

Michael

I set and cleared.

Elliott

I set and cleared.

Michael

[quickly]

I did breakfast.

Gertie

I did breakfast.

Mary

[slams a pot down on the sideboard]

He hates Mexico.

Michael

[to Elliott]

Damn it! Why don't you grow up? Think about how other people feel for a change!
