Gertie: Punch it, Chewie.

[last lines]

Gertie: Thank you, Daddy.

Ollie: Anything for you, Gert. You know why?

Gertie: Why?

Ollie: 'Cause you're the only thing I was ever really good at.

[after talking to Gertie, after finding her with Brian without their pants on]

Ollie: Do you have any questions about what you saw?

Gertie: [thinking hard] Do you have what Brian has?

Ollie: Yes.

Gertie: [after thinking hard again] Is it as big as his?

Ollie: Sadly, yes.

Gertie: Did Mommy like New York?

Ollie: Yeah, she loved it.

Gertie: Then I guess I will too.

[Gertie and Ollie are at a video store]

Gertie: You should be a dance teacher, like Johnny in "Dirty Dancing."

Ollie: l should? Should l say, ''Nobody puts Baby in a corner''?

Gertie: Oh, can we rent "Dirty Dancing" again?

Ollie: Ohh... "Dirty Dancing" ranks one notch below "Cats" in my book. Can you pick out something else?

Gertie: Can we rent this?

[gives Ollie the box to "Men in Black"]

Ollie: [while examining the movie] Absolutely not. Go pick out something from the children's section.

Gertie: All those movies suck!

Ollie: Watch your language!

[Ollie grabs a video from the adult video section]

[Maya arrives at the front door]

Gertie: [to Maya] Hey! You're the lady from the video store.

Ollie: Let's not use that term too loosely, okay? Go back and watch your video.

David: Isn't it a little crowded in here? Couldn't we go someplace where it was - quieter? Maybe a little darker?

Gertie: No, cookie. We'll go to one of them dark, romantic places later. We're eatin' first. You ever been here?

David: Oh, yes, often. That's why I wanted to go some place that was darker.

Gertie: I don't get it.

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] *Elliot*! Sit down.

[Mary hits E.T. with the refrigerator door]

Gertie: Here he is.

Mary: [absently] Here's who?

Gertie: The man from the moon. But I think you've killed him already.

E.T.: [saying good-bye] Beeeeeee... gooood.

Gertie: [tearfully] Yes.

Michael: Maybe he's some animal that wasn't supposed to live; kind of like those rabbits we saw. He could be a monkey or an orangutan.

Elliott: A bald monkey?

Gertie: Is he a pig? He sure eats like one.

[after E.T. learns how to talk]

Mary: Gertie, I have to go pick up Elliot. Will you be a good girl and stay...

Gertie: Mama, he can talk!

Mary: [thinking she meant Elliot] Of course he can talk. I'll be right back in ten minutes. Stay there.

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?

Elliott: But they'll give it a lobotomy or do experiments on it or something.

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]

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]

Gertie: What are you going as for Halloween?

Elliott: [Elliot is upset because nobody believes him] I'm not going to stupid Halloween.

Michael: [to Elliot] Why don't you go as a goblin?

Elliott: [flatly] Shut up.

Gertie: I don't like his feet.

Elliott: They're only feet, you little twerp.

Gertie: I'm gonna hit that dame a good one someday. Who does she think she is, struttin' around.

Pa McClune: You go to bed, Ma. I'll make the coffee.

Ma McClune: She's all right. She's only had a drink. She ain't used to it.

Gertie: She's soused to the gill. My she must have had a lot of fun.

Gertie: You lay off her, Pa. You give her a line like you did this morning, she'll never come back. You're just an old fashioned father. The kind you see in the movies. That stuff don't go any more. Let the girl have her fling. She's all right.

Pa McClune: I guess I am a bit old time.
