ET sequences breakdown

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: 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]
