Elliott Quotes:

  • [after having shot a wounded nomad who the group is debating whether to help]

    Elliott: Well, that settles that.

  • Elliott: [to Towns, about the makeshift plane] The design is perfect, the only flaw is that we have to rely on you to fly it.

  • Frank Burton Cheyne: Elliot, I'm going to be a father again.

    Elliott: Good Heavens, Mr. Cheyne.

  • [Elliott sneaks into Holly's bedroom]

    Holly: Elliott! What kind of idiotic joke is this? You scared the shit out of me!

    Elliott: I'm the victim of a nocturnal rapture. I have to release my lowest instincts with a woman.

    Holly: [Punches Elliott in the groin] Release your instincts in the bathroom.

    Elliott: Are you nuts? You tryin' to turn me into a homo?

    Holly: Wouldn't be too hard. If my father discovers you here, he'd cut off your little nuts and eat them. He can't stand you.

  • Drew: Damn. there's no milk, there's no coffee. there's nothing. Guys, didn't anyone remember to bring supplies?

    Gertie: Alligators in the sewers.

    Elliott: I couldn't have imagined it!

    Michael: Maybe it was a pervert or a deformed kid or something.

    Gertie: A deformed kid.

    Mary: [laughs in shock] *Elliot*! Sit down.

  • Keys: Elliot, 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: 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?

    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.

    Michael: Okay, I just hope we don't wake up on Mars or something surrounded by millions of little squashy guys.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Tyler: [sarcastically] Hey, Elliot, where's your goblin?

    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.

    [Elliot grabs Gertie's doll and throw it to Michael]

    Elliott: Do it, Mike, we have to.

    [they grab knives]

    Mary: Stop, now! You guys stay right here!
