Kali Prasad quotes from Stranger Things

I'm looking for my sister.

Axel

Aww, Shirley Temple lost her sister; so sad.

I saw her. Here. [Reaches into her bag]

Uh-uh! Hand outta pocket. Slow.

Axel

Gimme that shit.

Is that Kali?

"Kali?"

Axel

How'd you find us? Who else knows you're here?

No one.

Axel

So what, then? Poof? You just show up like magic, with that picture?

Stay calm, she's just a kid.

Axel

A kid who could get us all killed! [Draws a switchblade] If I have to ask again, Shirley, you're gonna start losing things, startin' with those pretty little locks of yours, yeah?

Come on, Axe, put down the knife!

Axel

How did you find us?!

I saw her.

Axe!

Axel

[Grabs El's arm and raises the knife] That's not an answer!

Axel

Jesus, Jesus Christ! Get off! Shit, Shit!

You're a terrible dancer, Axel.

Axel

I told you, stay outta my head!

So we're threatening little girls now, are we?

Axel

She knows about you!

She had this.

Where did you get this?

[Takes it back] Mama.

Your mother gave this to you?

In her... dream circle.

Axel

[Scoffs] "Dream circle". I think she's a schizo or something.

Says she's looking for her sister.

Axel

Yeah, like I said, schizo.

Jesus!

[Handing Kali the knife] I saw you. In the rainbow room.

What is your name?

Jane.

Sister.

Sister.

And this... memory your mother shared, that is your only memory of me?

Yes.

And how long have you been with this... Policeman?

Three hundred and twenty-seven days.

And this policeman, he thinks he can work out some sort of deal with these men to set you free?

Yes. He says soon.

He's naive, then. We will always be monsters to them, do you understand? [El nods sadly] Now let me guess: your policeman, he also stops you from using your gifts? [El nods] What you can do... is incredible. It makes you very special, Jane.

Wait. Do you have a gift?

Different. I can make people see, or not see, whatever I choose.

Is that why you made the man with the crazy hair dance?

;Laughs] Axel is not so fond of spiders, so...

You made him see spiders?

[Nods] But it doesn't have to be scary.

This butterfly, it isn't real. I've just convinced your mind it is. Think of it as a kind of... magic.

Are you real?

[Smiles] Yes, I'm real.

Everyone you see here was in some way responsible for what happened to us.

... You hurt the Bad Men?

(sarcastically) No, we just... give 'em a pat on the back.

You... kill them?

They're criminals. We simply make them pay for their crimes.

Axel

Damn, Shirley, what's the matter? You look like you've seen a ghost.

We can't all be fighters, I guess.

I'm a fighter. I've killed.

And these men you killed, did they... deserve it?

They hurt me.

And they still want to hurt you. To hurt us. We're just making the first move. Come.

I was once just like you, you know that? But that's why I'm hard on you, because I see in you my past mistakes.

[Sharply] They were kids.

Does that excuse that man's sins? Were we not also children? (El looks away) I remember the day I came to the rainbow room, and you were... gone. So, when my gifts were strong enough, I used them to escape, and I ran. I ran away as far as I could. And it was there, far away, that I... I found a place to hide. A family. A home. Just like you and your policeman. But... they couldn't help me. So, eventually, I lost them, too. So, I decided to play the part; to stop hiding. To use my gifts against those who hurt us. You're now faced with the same choice, Jane: go back into hiding and hope they don't find you, or fight, and face them again.

Face who?

The man who calls himself our father.

[Shakes her head] Papa is... dead.

Dr. Martin Brenner

That man tonight disagreed.

[Stands up] You're not real.

All this time, and you haven't looked for me? Why? Because you thought I was dead? Or because you were afraid of what you might find?

[In tears] Go away.

You have to confront your pain. You have a wound, Eleven, a terrible wound. And it's festering. Do you remember what that means? Festering? It means... a rot. And it will grow. Spread.

Get out of my head.

And eventually, it will kill you.

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!

This isn't a prison, Jane. You're always free to return to your policeman. Or stay, and avenge your mother. Let us heal our wounds. Together.

Jane, get in.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but I have to go back. My friends... my friends are in danger.

Axel

This isn't time for a talk! We gotta go right now!

Your mother sent you here for a reason, remember? We belong together. There's nothing for you back there; they cannot save you, Jane!

No...But I can save them.
