Share this quote on facebook Gertie: What are you going as for Halloween?
Elliot: I'm not going to stupid Halloween.
Micheal: Why don't you go as a goblin?
Elliot: Shut up.
Mary: It's not that we don't believe you, honey.
Elliot: Well, it was real, I swear!
Mary: [changing the subject] What are you going as, Gert?
Gertie: [with steak in mouth] I'm going as a cowgirl.
Elliot: So, what else is new?
Micheal: Maybe it was an iguana.
Elliot: It was no iguana.
Micheal: Maybe, uh... uh-- You know how they say there are, uh, alligators in the sewers?
Gertie: Alligators in the sewers.
Mary: All we're trying to say is maybe you just probably imagined it. It happens.
Elliot: I couldn't have imagined it!
Micheal: Maybe it was a pervert, or a deformed kid, or something.
Gertie: A deformed kid.
Micheal: Maybe, uh, an elf or a leprechaun.
Elliot: [stands up angrily] IT WAS NOTHING LIKE THAT, PENIS-BREATH!
Mary: [laughs in shock] Elliot! [regains composure] Sit down. [clears throat]
Elliot: [sitting down] Dad would believe me.
Mary: Maybe you oughtta call your father and tell him about it.
Elliot: I can't. He's in Mexico with Sally.
Gertie: Wh-Where's Mexico?
Mary: Excuse me. [leaves the table and walks to the window]
Micheal: [softly to Elliot] 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?
Elliot: But they'll give it to a lobotomy, or do experiments on it, or somethin'.
Mary: It's your turn to do the dishes, fellas.
Micheal: I set and cleared.
Elliot: I set and cleared.
Micheal: [quickly] I did breakfast.
Gertie: I did breakfast.
[Mary slams a pot down on the sideboard, offscreen]
Micheal: What's the matter, Mom?
Mary: [emotionally; about the kids' father] He hates Mexico.
Micheal: [to Elliot] Damn it, why don't you...grow up? Think how other people feel for a change?

Elliot: I'm keeping him.
Gertie: What is it?
Elliot: He won't hurt you, Daisy. He won't hurt you, Daisy. He's not gonna hurt you.
Gertie: Is he a boy or a girl?
Elliot: He's a boy.
Gertie: Was he wearing any clothes?
Elliot: No. But, look. You can't tell, not even Mom.
Gertie: Why not?
Elliot: Because, um, grown-ups can't see him. Only little kids can see him.
Gertie: [snapping back] Give me a break.
Elliot: [imitating Dracula] Well, do you know what's going to happen if you do tell? [tosses Gertie's stuffed animal to Micheal] Do it, Mike. We have to.
Gertie: [tugging her doll with Micheal] Give it to me!
[E.T. watches intently]
Elliot: [to Gertie] Promise?
Gertie: Yes.
Elliot: [to Micheal] Do you promise? [Micheal nods in agreement]

Share this quote on facebook Micheal: [about E.T.] Did you explain school to him?
Elliot: How do you explain school to a higher intelligence?
Micheal: Maybe he's not that smart. Maybe he's a worker bee who only knows how to push buttons.
Elliot: He's too smart.
Micheal: All right. I just hope we don't wake up on Mars or somethin' surrounded by millions of little squashy guys.

Gertie: I want you to meet somebody.
...
[after E.T. learns how to talk]
Mary: Gertie, I've gotta go pick up Elliot. Will you be a good girl until I get back?
Gertie: Momma, he can talk!
Mary: [thinking she meant Elliot] Of course he can talk. I'll be back in 10 minutes. Stay there.

Share this quote on facebook Keys: Elliot, I've been to the forest... Elliot, that machine. What does it do?
Elliot: The communicator? Is it still working?
Keys: It's doing something. What?
Elliot: I really shouldn't tell. He came to me. He came to me.
Keys: Elliot, 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?
Elliot: He needs to go home. He's calling his people, and I don't know where they are. He needs to go home.
Keys: Elliot, I don't think that he was left here intentionally. But his being here is a miracle, Elliot. It's a miracle. And you did the best that anybody could do. I'm glad he met you first.
