| The little alien finds himself all alone on a very strange planet. Fortunately, the extra-terrestrial soon finds a friend and emotional companion in 10-year-old Elliot, who discovered him looking for food in his family's garden shed. While E.T. slowly gets acquainted with Elliot's brother Michael, his sister Gertie as well as with Earth customs, members of the task force work day and night to track down the whereabouts of Earth's first visitor from Outer Space. The wish to go home again is strong in E.T., and after being able to communicate with Elliot and the others, E.T. starts building an improvised device to send a message home for his folks to come and pick him up. But before long, E.T. gets seriously sick, and because of his special connection to Elliot, the young boy suffers, too. The situation gets critical when the task force finally intervenes. By then, all help may already be too late, and there's no alien spaceship in sight. Memorable Quotes from E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial Elliot: He's a man from outer space and we're taking him to his spaceship. Greg: Well, can't he just beam up? Elliot: This is REALITY, Greg. ============ E.T.: E.T. phone home. ============ Elliot: How do you explain school to a higher intelligence? ========== Michael: Maybe he's some animal that wasn't supposed to live. Could be a monkey or an orangutan. Elliot: A bald monkey? Gertie: Is he a pig? He sure eats like one. =========== [Mary hits E.T. with the refrigerator door] Gertie: Here he is. Mary: Who? Gertie: The man from the moon. But I think you've killed him already. ============== [last lines] E.T.: Come... Elliot: Stay... E.T.: Ouch. Elliot: Ouch. E.T.: I'll... be... right... here. Elliot: ...bye. |
