E.T. Alienation Quotes

How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.

Quote #1

TYLER: Elliott. Douche bag.

MOM: No "douche bag" talk in my house!

Oof. Tyler has no qualms about calling Elliott a "douche bag" in front of Elliott's mother? That's cold!

Quote #2

GERTIE: What are you going as for Halloween?

ELLIOTT: I'm not going to stupid Halloween.

MICHAEL: Why don't you go as a goblin?

ELLIOTT: Shut up.

When Elliott first encounters E.T. in the backyard, Michael and his friends latch on to the idea that it's a goblin and run with it. And if you can't count on your older brother to mercilessly mock you for finding an alien in your backyard, whom can you count on?

Quote #3

MOM: All we're trying to say is, maybe, you just, probably, imagined it.

ELLIOTT: I couldn't have imagined it!

It's nice that Mom's trying to choose her words very carefully, but the bottom line is still that she doesn't believe her own son.
