- E.T.: Come...
- Elliot: [solemnly] Stay...
- E.T.: [puts his finger to his glowing heart] Ouch.
- Elliot: [mimics the same action, tearfully] Ouch.
- E.T.: [E.T. and Elliot embrace each other, then E.T. puts his glowing finger to Elliot's forehead] I'll... be... right... here.
- Elliot: [tearfully] ... bye.
- Michael: Maybe it was an iguana.
- Elliott: It was *no* iguana.
- Michael: Maybe, um - 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. It happened...
- Elliott: I couldn't have imagined it!
- Michael: Maybe it was a pervert or a deformed kid or something.
- Gertie: A deformed kid.
- Michael: [mockingly] Maybe an elf or a leprechaun.
- Elliott: It was nothing like that, penis-breath!
- Mary: [laughs in shock] *Elliott*! Sit down.
- Keys: Elliott, that machine, what does it do?
- Elliott: [in a sickly voice] The communicator? Is it still working?
- Keys: It's doing *something*. What?
- Elliott: I really shouldn't tell. He came to me, he came to me.
- Keys: Elliott, he came to me too. I've been wishing for this since I was 10 years old, I don't want him to die. What can we do that we're not already doing?
- Elliott: He needs to go home; he's calling his people. And I don't know where they are, but he needs to go home.
- Keys: Elliott, I don't think he was left here intentionally, but his being here is a miracle, Elliott. It's a miracle and you did the best that anybody could do. I'm glad he met you first.
- Elliott: You could be happy here, I could take care of you. I wouldn't let anybody hurt you. We could grow up together, E.T.
- Tyler: [sarcastically] Hey, Elliot, where's your goblin?
- Michael: Shut up.
- Steve: Did he come back?
- Pretty Young Girl: Hi, Elliot.
- Greg: Well, did he?
- Elliott: Yeah, he came back, but he's not a goblin. He's a spaceman.
- Steve: Ooh, as in extra-terrestrial!
- Tyler: Where is he from, Uranus? Get it? Your anus?
- Greg: He doesn't get it, Ty.
- Tyler: Get it, your anus?
- Greg: He doesn't get it.
- Elliott: You're so immature!
- Greg: And you're such a cintus suprimus!
- Elliott: Zero charisma!
- Greg: Cintus suprimus!
- Elliott: Zero charisma!
- Greg: Cintus suprimus!
- Elliott: Shut up, Greg!
- Greg: Cintus suprimus!
- Elliott: [yells as he rides off on his bike] Zero charisma!
- Greg: You wimp!
- Michael: Did you explain school to him?
- Elliott: How do you explain school to higher intelligence?
- Michael: Maybe he's not that smart. Maybe he's like a worker bee who only knows how to push buttons or something.
- Elliott: [knowingly] He is too smart.
- Michael: Okay, I just hope we don't wake up on Mars or something surrounded by millions of little squashy guys.
- Elliott: [tearfully, while looking down at E.T.'s plastic-covered corpse] I'll believe in you all my life, everyday. E.T... I love you.
- Elliott: [seeing E.T. in a dress, with a wig and jewelry] Oh, God!
- E.T.: Elliot.
- Elliott: [still too frustrated to notice he just spoke to him] What?
- E.T.: Elliot!... Elliot!
- Gertie: I taught him how to talk now. He can talk now.
- [Elliot sees electronics and supplies together in the closet]
- Gertie: Look what he brought up here all by himself. What's he need this stuff for?
- Elliott: E.T., can you say that? Can you say 'E.T.'? E.T.
- E.T.: Eeee Teee.
- Elliott: [Elliot laughs in amazement]
- E.T.: [waddling away] E.T.! E.T.! E.T.! Beee good.
- Gertie: "Be good"! I taught him that, too!
- Elliott: You should give him his dignity. This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.
- E.T.: [gives Elliot a newspaper and points at a comic picture] Phone.
- Elliott: 'Phone'? He said 'phone'? He said 'phone'?
- Gertie: Can't you understand English? He said 'phone'.
- E.T.: [points to closet] Home?
- Elliott: You're right. That's E.T.'s home.
- E.T.: [scurries over to the window and points his long finger towards it] E.T. home phone.
- Gertie: [clarifying] E.T. phone home.
- Elliott: E.T. phone home.
- [understanding what he means]
- Elliott: E.T. phone home!
- Gertie: He wants to call somebody.
- Elliott: But, look, you can't tell. Not even Mom.
- Gertie: Why not?
- Elliott: Because, uh, grown-ups can't see him. Only little kids can see him.
- Gertie: Give me a break!
- Elliott: [Transylvanian accent] Well, do you know what's going to happen if you do tell?
- [Elliot grabs Gertie's doll and throw it to Michael]
- Elliott: Do it, Mike, we have to.
- [Gertie begs the doll back as Elliott and Michael 'torture' it. They stop when Gertie vows to keep E.T. a secret]
- Elliott: [to Gertie] Promise?
- Gertie: [distressed] Yes.
- Elliott: [to Michael] You promise?
- [Michael nods]
- Mary: It's your turn to do the dishes, fellas.
- Michael: I set and cleared.
- Elliott: [in a stern tone] I set and cleared.
- Michael: [quickly] I did breakfast.
- Gertie: [solemnly] I did breakfast.
- Michael: [noticing how upset Mary is] What's the matter, mom?
- Mary: [leaves in tears, to herself, about her husband] He HATES Mexico!
- Michael: [to Elliot, furiously] Damn it, why don't you - grow up and think how other people feel for a change!
- [Elliot goes angry and does the dishes]
- Elliott: [upon encountering E.T., running excitedly into the house] Mom, Mom! There's something out there!
- Mary: What?
- Elliott: It's in the toolshed. It threw the ball at me.
- [Michael and his friends mock him loudly]
- Elliott: QUIET!
- [Michael's friends go silent]
- Elliott: [in hushed tone] Nobody go out there!
- Michael: [the boys all spring up excitedly] Ha! Ha! Ha!
- [they grab knives]
- Mary: Stop, now! You guys stay right here!
- Michael: You stay here, Mom, we'll check it out!
- Mary: And put those knives back!
- [Elliot grabs her hand and pulls her outside as well]
- Mary: Okay, Elliot! Let me get a flashlight.
- Michael: [walks in Elliot's room and sees E.T. in a dress; he chuckles] What's all this shit?
- Elliott: E.T. phone home.
- Michael: [astonished] My God, he's talking now.
- Elliott: Home.
- Elliot: E.T. phone home?
- Elliott: [points to window] E.T. phone home.
- Elliot: [whispers] And they'll come?
- Elliott: Come? Home.
- [pulls off wig and hat from his head]
- Elliott: Home.
- E.T.: E.T. phone home.
- [Elliott laughs with joy]
- E.T.: Home, home, home. Phone home.
- Elliott: [seeing his heart glowing] Does this mean they're coming?
- E.T.: Yes. E.T. phone home. E.T. phone home.
- Elliott: Stay.
- E.T.: E.T. phone home.
- Elliott: [covering his mouth] Shut up.
- Elliott: Phone. Phone home.
- Elliott: Quiet!
- E.T.: Phone, phone, phone.
- Elliott: Would you shut up?
