El?
[Crying] Mike... I'm sorry.
Sorry? What are you sorry for?
The Gate... I opened it. I'm the monster.
[Smiles] No El, you're not the monster. You saved me, do you understand? You saved me.
[He pulls her up into a hug, and Dustin puts his arms around them]
[Nancy storms up to Steve, a hurt and furious expression on her face]
[Mockingly] Aw, hey there, princess!
Uh oh, she looks upset.
[Nancy slaps Steve]
Oh...!
What is wrong with you?!
What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you? I was worried about you. Can you believe I was actually worried about you? [Scoffs]
What are you talking about?
I wouldn't lie, if I were you. You don't want to be known as the "lying slut", now, do you?
[Jonathan walks up]
[Notices Jonathan and smiles] Speak of the devil. Hi.
[Realizing what happened] You came by last night.
[Mockingly] Ding ding ding. Does she get a prize?
Look, I don't know what you think you saw, but it wasn't like that.
What you just let him into your room to [pointedly] study?
Or for another pervy photo session.
We were just-
You were just what? Finish that sentence. [Menacingly] Finish the sentence. [Nancy doesn't respond] Go to hell Nancy.
[Enraged] Carol, for once in your life, shut your damn mouth!
What?
Hey, what's your problem, man?
You're both assholes, that's my problem! [Gets up and shoves Tommy]
Are you serious right now, man?
Yeah, I'm serious! You shouldn't have done that!
Done what?
You know what!
You mean call her out for what she really is? Oh, that's funny, cause I don't remember you asking me to stop
I should have put that spray paint right down your throat.
What the hell, Steve?
You know, neither of you ever cared about her. You never even liked her. Because she's not miserable like you two! She actually cares about other people.
[Mockingly] The slut with a heart of gold!
I TOLD you to watch your mouth!
HEY!' [Shoves Steve into the car behind him] I don't know what's gotten into you man, but you don't talk to her that way!
[Shoves him back] Get out of my face!
[Aggressively grabs Steve by the collar and shoves him backwards again] Or what?! Or what?! You gonna fight me now too?! Huh?! You gonna fight me now too?! Because you couldn't take Jonathan Byers! [Whispers threateningly] So I wouldn't recommend that. Here, let me get the door for you, buddy. [Steve drives away] That's right. Run away, Stevie boy! Run away! Just like you always do. That Nancy's turning you into a little pussy! That's right, Harrington, run away! Run away! [scoffs]
Six.
What?
Six. Six people have been taken this week. This thing that took your son... We don't really understand it. But it's behavior is predictable. Like all animals, it eats. It will take more sons. More daughters. I want to save them. I want to save your son. But I can't do that. Not without your help.
Stop. I know who you are. I know what you've done. You took my boy away from me! You left him in that place to die! You faked his death! We had a funeral. We buried him. And now you're asking for my help? Go to hell.
Just hold on a little longer, okay? He's gone, the Bad Man's gone. We'll be home soon, and my mom? She'll get you your own bed, and you can eat as many Eggos as you want. And... we can go to the Snow Ball.
[Weakened] Promise?
Promise.
[There is a loud shriek as the gunfire outside dies down]
Is it... is it dead?
[The door crashes down and the Demogorgon enters the classroom, the lights flickering]
Go, go go go go!!
Get the wrist rocket, get the wrist rocket, now!!
Go go go go go! Get the rocks, get the rocks, get the rocks!
Getting the rocks!
Gimme one!
Come on! Fire!
Kill it, kill it!
[Lucas shoots a rock at the Demogorgon and hits it's head, but it only roars with rage]
Another one!
Kill the bastard! Kill it now!
Kill it! Go go go go go!
[Lucas fires again, to no effect; the Demogorgon advances on them as Dustin passes Lucas more ammunition]
Get, get, get- come on, kill it, bastard!
It's not working!
Hit him again! Keep going, keep going!
Kill him! Get, get, get... come on, go, go, go!
[Lucas hits the Demogorgon again, to no effect. As he fires a fourth rock, the Demogorgon is suddenly flung across the room by El's powers, slamming against the blackboard. El stands and walks past the shocked boys, her expression fierce]
Eleven, stop!
[El uses her powers to push Mike back; she approaches the struggling Demogorgon. As she reaches it, she glances back at Lucas, Dustin and Mike]
[Sadly] Goodbye, Mike. [She turns to the Demogorgon] No more. [Both the Demogorgon and El scream as she uses her powers to rip it apart; Lucas, Dustin and Mike cover their ears. When the lights return, El and the Demogorgon have vanished]
[Repeatedly] El...?!
Eleven!
[Tearful] El! El, where are you?! Eleven?! El?!
You're just not nimble enough, but you'll get there someday. But until then... [chuckles] Princess Daphne is still mine!
You know, whatever. I'm still tops on "Centipede" and "Dig Dug".
You sure about that?
Sure about what? You're kidding me, nonononono. Move, move! [He checks the top scores on "Centipede" and "Dig Dug"] Aw, no no no no no... NO! No! No...!
Seven hundred and fifty-one thousand, three hundred points?!
That's impossible!
Who- who's "MADMAX?"
Better than you.
[Dustin gives him the finger]
Is it you?
[Scoffs] You know I despise "Dig Dug".
Then who is it?
Yeah, spill it, Keith.
You want information? Then I need something in return. [Grins at Mike]
No. No, no, no, no way! You're not getting a date with her!
Mike, come on, just get him the date.
I'm not prostituting my sister!
But it's for a good cause!
No, no, don't get him the date. You know what? He's gonna spread his nasty-ass rash to your whole family!
Acne isn't a rash, and it isn't contagious, you prepubescent wastoid!
Still no sign?
Jack shit.
[Checks his watch] Aw, man, my Mom's gonna murder me!
So go home, I'll radio when she comes.
Oh yeah, nice try. You just want me out of here so you can make your move.
Oh cause you're such a threat.
That's right! She will not be able to resist these pearls. Grr...! [Spotting something] Ten O'Clock!
What?
Ten O'Clock.
[Max comes out arguing with her brother]
They're arguing! They're arguing!
I I I see that! [About binoculars] I don't even know why you need those. God, you're so stupid.
[Max's brother impulsively drives off with Max giving her brother the finger. Dustin and Lucas follow her inside the arcade]
She's incredible.
She's...
MAD MAX!
[Hopper arrives at a cabin deep in the woods. He steps over a tripwire as he approaches the door and knocks six times. Several bolts unlatch and the door opens. He walks in, notices the TV is on, and turns it off]
[Noticing a half-eaten Eggo waffle on the table] Hey, what'd we talk about?
[From the next room] No signal.
[As he sits down] What?
No signal. It's eight-one-five. You're late.
Yeah, I lost track of time. I'll signal next time, all right? [El enters the room and sits across from him] And, uh, it's eight-fifteen, it's not eight-one-five.
Eight...fifteen.
Now, what'd we talk about? Dinner first, then dessert. Always. That's a rule, yeah?
Yes.
[Hopper is cooking breakfast. He turns around and is startled by El wearing a bedsheet over her head]
Oh! Jesus.
Ghost.
Yeah, I see that.
Halloween.
Sure is. But right now, it's breakfast, okay? [He puts the food on the table] Come on, let's eat.
They wouldn't see me.
Who wouldn't see you? [Sits down]
The Bad Men.
What are you talking about?
Trick or Treat.
You want to go trick-or-treating? [El nods; after a pause Hopper shakes his head and stands up] You know the rules.
Yes, I...
Yeah, so you know the answer.
No, but they wouldn't see me.
Hey, I don't care.
But, they...
[Puts his hands on her shoulders] I don't care, alright? You go out there, ghost or not, it's a risk. We don't take risks, alright? They're stupid. And?
[Angrily] We're not stupid.
Exactly. Now you take that off and sit down and eat. [Sits down] Your food's getting cold.
[El does so, looking irritated]
Alright, look: how 'bout... I get off early tonight, I buy us a bunch of candy, we sit around and get fat, and we watch a scary movie together. How's that for compromise?
"Co-compromise?"
C-O-M-promise. Compromise? How 'bout that's your word for the day, yeah? It's something that's kinda in-between, something like... half-way happy.
By... five-one-five?
[Nods] Five-fifteen, yeah. Sure.
Promise?
Yes. I promise.
[Shrugs, nods] Half-way happy.
[Max and Billy are driving]
God, this place is such a shithole.
It's not that bad.
No? [Buzzes down the window and holds his nose] Mmm, you smell that, Max? That's actually shit. Cow shit!
I don't see any cows. [Buzzes the window up again]
Clearly, you haven't met the high school girls. So what, you like it here now?
No!
Then why are you defending it?
I'm not.
Sure sounds like it.
It's just, we're stuck here, so...
Mm, you're right. We're stuck here. [Glares at her] And whose fault is that?
[Under her breath] Yours.
What'd you say?
Nothing.
Did you say it's my fault?
No!
You know whose fault it is. Say it. [Pause] Maaax... say it. SAY IT!!!
[He floors the gas pedal; Max looks up and is shocked to see Mike, Lucas and Dustin riding directly ahead of Billy's car]
Really, everyone dressed up last year.
Billy, slow down.
Oh, these your new ape-friends?
No! No, I don't know them.
Oh, then I guess you won't care if I hit 'em then, huh? I get bonus points, I get 'em all in one go!
No, Billy, stop, it's not funny.
[Dustin notices Billy closing in on them]
Uh, guys...!
[They all try desperately to outrun Billy]
Billy, come on, stop! This isn't funny! Stop!
Go, go, go, go!
BILLY, STOP IT!
Oh, shit shit shit shit shit...!
[Max yanks the steering wheel; at the last minute, Billy's car swerves into the other lane, barely missing the boys]
[Laughs maniacally] WHOOO! That was a close one, huh?!
Was that...
Madmax!
[Bob dances with Joyce on Halloween]
You playing Frankenstein to my Dracula? You're stiff as a board; relax.
I'm sorry. It's just...
He's fine, ok? Jonathan's with him.
I know. It's just... every time he's away from me, it's like I- I can't function. I- it sounds silly, I know.
No, it's not silly. It's not silly. [Pause] What if we were to move out of Hawkins? Together?
What?
[Grins] Yeah, Whoa Nellie, right? No, I just- I- I been thinking about what you said. I mean, how you've got all these memories here, and you wish you had enough money to move. My parents are selling their house in Maine. There's a RadioShack nearby; I'm sure they'd take me on. We could just... [he sees the worried look on Joyce's face and glances away] My turn to be silly, now.
Bob...
No, it's fine; wine makes me crazy.
It's just so hard to explain, it's just- this- this is not a normal family.
Well, it could be. [Looks at her encouragingly] Could be.
[Joyce hugs him; the doorbell sounds]
Finally. [Puts in his Dracula fangs and heads for the door] Victims!
[Drunk] You wanted- you wanted this.
No I didn't want this, I told you to stop drinking-
Bullshit!
No, it's not bullshit, okay?
Bullshit!
No, it's not bullshit, Nancy.
No YOU. You're... bullshit.
[Hurt] What?
You're- you're pretending like- like everything's okay. Y'know like- like we didn't- like we didn't kill Barb! Like-like it's great. Like we're in love and we're partying. Yeah let's party. Let's party, we're partying. It's bullshit.
'Like' we're in love?
It's bullshit.
[Heartbroken] You don't love me?
It's bullshit.
[Discussing his visions] It's like... like, I'm stuck.
Stuck in the Upside Down?
Well, you know how in a ViewMaster, when it gets, like...
Caught between two slides?
Yeah, yeah, like that. Like, like one slide's our world, and... and the other... the other slide is the Upside Down. And... and there was this noise. Coming from everywhere. And... I saw something.
The Demogorgon?
[Shakes his head] No. It was like... this huge shadow, in the sky. Only... it was alive... and it was coming for me.
Is this all real? Or is it like the doctors say, all in your head?
I don't know. Just... just please don't tell the others, okay? They won't understand.
Eleven would.
She would?
[Smiles] Yeah. She always did. Sometimes, I feel like... I still see her. Like she's still around... but she never is. I don't know. Sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy.
Me, too.
Hey, if we're both going crazy, we'll go crazy together, right?
[Smiles] Yeah. Crazy together.
[El uses a blindfold and the TV static to enter the mental dimension of the Upside Down and listen to Mike as he tries to contact her on the two-way radio]
It's Day 353. I had a bad day today. I dunno, I... guess I wish you were here. I mean, we all do. If you're out there, just... please, gimme a sign.
[El crouches in front of him in the Upside Down. For a moment, Mike appears to meet her eyes]
Mike?
Eleven?
[El reaches out to try to touch his face, but after a moment Mike irritably shuts off the radio and walks away. In the real world, El pulls off the blindfold and cries silently]
[In a flashback, as Hopper and El set up the defenses around the cabin]
Okay. This is called a tripwire. It's like an alarm. You, uh, set it up like this... and then, anybody gets close, it's gonna make a loud noise like, uh, gunfire. Bang. [Pause] Those bad men aren't gonna find you, alright? Not way the hell out here. But we'll take some precautions. There's gonna be a couple ground rules. Rule number one: always keep the curtains drawn.
[In the present, El opens the curtains]
Rule number two: only open the door, if you hear my secret knock. [Demonstrates]
[In the present, El unbolts the door with her powers]
And rule number three: Don't ever go out alone... especially not in the daylight.
[In the present, El steps out onto the sunlit porch]
That's it. Three rules. I call 'em the, uh... "Don't be stupid" rules. 'Cause we're not stupid, alright?
[In the present, El walks away from the cabin]
[As she steps over the tripwire] Not stupid.
