Phone.

Phone.

Phone.

You want to call somebody?

I am not paying for frogs.

Be good. Be good.

Stay here. Stay.

Don't tell anybody.

Nobody.

Be good. Be good.

Move.

God!

-Elliott.

-What?

Elliott.

Elliott.

I taught him how to talk. He can talk now.

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.

E.T.

Be good.

I taught him that, too.

You should give him his dignity.

This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen!

Phone.

Phone?

He said ''phone''?

He said ''phone''?

Can't you understand English?

He said ''phone.''

Home.

You're right. That's E.T.'s home.

E.T...

...home, phone.

E.T. phone home.

E.T. phone home.

He wants to call somebody.

What's all this sh*t?

E.T. phone home.

Oh, my God, he's talking now.

Home.

E.T. phone home?

E.T. phone home.

And they'll come?

Come.

Home.

Home.

Come on. I promise, Mom.

What book?

Any one you want.

Spiderman....

We'll just smile...

...and try to get through the evening.

That's all I want to do.

We can't ask Cathy to trick-or-treat

in the same sheet she wore last year.

Elliott:

Now I wish I would've listened in science.

Think, Michael.

We should just grab anything

he could make a machine out of.

What would make a radar?

How the hell do I know?

You're the genius here.

You have absolute power, remember?

''I found him. He belongs to me.''

You know, Elliott...

-...he doesn't look too good anymore.

-Don't say that! We're fine!

What's all this ''we'' stuff?

You say ''we'' all the time.

Really, I think he's getting sick.

He's fine.

Okay, okay. Forget I mentioned it.

Grab that Fuzzbuster.

Dad's shirt.

Remember when he used to take us

out to the ball games...

...and take us to the movies,

and we had popcorn fights?

We'll do that again, Elliott.

Sure.

Old Spice.

Sea Breeze.

''Peter says, 'The Redskins were defeated?

'''Wendy and the boys captured by the pirates?

'''I'll rescue her. I'll rescue her.'

''He leaps, first at his dagger...

''...then at his grindstone to sharpen it.

''But Tink rings out a warning cry.

'''Oh, that is just my medicine.'

''She says, 'Poisoned?

'''Who could've poisoned it?'

'''I promised Wendy to take it and I will,

as soon as I have sharpened my dagger.'
