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.

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]
