''Tinkerbell sees its red color...

''...and remembers the red in the pirate's eye...

''...nobly swallows the draft...

''...as Peter's hand is reaching for it.

'''Why, Tink, you have drunk my medicine.'

''She flutters strangely about the room...

''...answering him with a very faint tinkle.''

Ouch!

Ouch.

''She says she thinks

she could get well again...

''...if children believed in fairies.

''Do you believe? Say quick that you believe.''

I do!

''If you believe, clap your hands.

''Many clap, some don't, a few hiss.

''But Tink is saved. 'Thank you.

'''Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you.

'''And now to rescue Wendy.'''

Can you read it to me again?

''Peter says....''

He's putting it together now.

I told you he was smart.

I'm worried, Elliott.

He could blow up the house.

He knows what he's doing.

Listen to how he's breathing.

It's going to work.

What's he feeling now?

He's feeling everything.

You're going as a ghost. You promised.

I'm only pretending I'm going as a cowgirl.

Okay. Now, you know the plans by heart,

don't you?

Meet you at the lookout.

At the lookout. I'm not stupid, you know.

You won't get four blocks

in this neighborhood dressed like that.

I mean it. You are not going as a hippy!

All the guys are!

I'm not stupid, you know.

Ready?

Ready.

Wait, Mom. Don't look.

Okay.

Okay, Mom. You can look now.

That's great.

Stay here.

Ouch.

Stop that! No! Don't!

Ouch.

It's a fake knife. It's a fake.

Ouch.

Okay.

All right.

You look great!

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

Thank you.

Be back one hour after sundown. No later.

'Bye.

Gertie, come here. Come on.

Trick or treat?

Trick or treat?

Home. Home.

Home.

Be back one hour after sunset. No later.

I'll try as fast as I can, Mike.

You got to cover me.

Well, come on. Help me.

We'll be waiting for you, Elliott.

So come back for sure.

It's too bumpy. We'll have to walk from here!

Not so high! Not so high!

Don't crash, please.

I really can't believe you did this.

Your father's going to hear

about this one.

Boo!

Trick or treat?

Bull's eye.

Good shot.

Where's Elliott?

I'm asking you a question.

Any ways, why would Elliott go to the forest?

Why would he do such a thing?

Get in the car.

Get in the car, now.

E.T., it's working.
