- Mr. Clarke: Hello?
- Dustin Henderson: Mr Clarke, it's Dustin.
- Mr. Clarke: Dustin? Is everything okay?
- Dustin Henderson: Ye-yeah, I just, I, I have a... science question.
- Mr. Clarke: It's ten o'clock on Saturday. Why don't we pick this up on...
- Dustin Henderson: Do you know anything about sensory deprivation tanks? Specifically how to build one?
- Mr. Clarke: Sensory deprivation...? Wh-what is this for?
- Dustin Henderson: Fun.
- Mr. Clarke: Okay. Well. Why don't we talk about it Monday, after school. Okay?...
- Dustin Henderson: You always say we should never stop being curious, to always open any curiosity door we find.
- Mr. Clarke: Dustin...
- Dustin Henderson: Why are you keeping this curiosity door locked?
- Nancy Wheeler: What did she even eat?
- Mike Wheeler: What?
- Nancy Wheeler: Eleven.
- Mike Wheeler: Oh. Candy... leftovers... eggos... she really likes eggos.
- Nancy Wheeler: I knew you were acting weird I just, I thought it was because of Will.
- Mike Wheeler: I knew you were acting weird too. I thought it was because of Steve.
- Nancy Wheeler: Hey. No more secrets, okay? From now on we tell each other everything.
- Mike Wheeler: Okay. Do you like Jonathan now?
- Nancy Wheeler: What? No... no, it's not like that... Do you like Eleven?
- Mike Wheeler: What? No. Ew. Gross.
- Dustin Henderson: It's been way too long. You know what? Maybe you're right. Maybe this is all a trap and the bad men are coming to get us right now!
- Lucas Sinclair: It's not a trap! Why would the chief set us up? Nancy, maybe, but the chief?
- Dustin Henderson: Lando Calrissian.
- Lucas Sinclair: Would you shut up about Lando!
- Dustin Henderson: [after El flips the van to help them escape] Did- did you see what she did to that van?
- Mike Wheeler: [sarcastic] No, Dustin, we missed it.
- Dustin Henderson: I mean that was... that was...
- Lucas Sinclair: Awesome. That was awesome.
- [goes to El]
- Lucas Sinclair: Everything I said about you being a traitor and stuff... I was wrong. I'm sorry.
- Eleven: Friends... friends don't lie. I'm sorry too.
- Mike Wheeler: Me too.
- [Holds out his hand. He and Lucas shake]
- Mike Wheeler: [as Mrs. Wheeler is talking on the phone] Mom! *Mom*!
- Karen Wheeler: [Into the phone] I'm sorry, can you just hold on please?
- [to Mike]
- Karen Wheeler: Michael, I'm on the phone. I've told you a million times...
- Mike Wheeler: Did you schedule any repairs?
- Karen Wheeler: What?
- Mike Wheeler: Is there anyone supposed to come and do repairs on the house?
- Karen Wheeler: I don't understand, is there something wrong in the house-?
- Mike Wheeler: No Mom, nothing's wrong with the house...
- Dustin Henderson: Mike!
- Mike Wheeler: One second...
- Dustin Henderson: *Mike!*
- [panting]
- Dustin Henderson: We need to leave. Right. Now.
- Karen Wheeler: Michael!
- Mike Wheeler: If anyone asks where I am, I've left the country!
- [runs off after Dustin]
- Mike Wheeler: What's he saying?
- Dustin Henderson: I don't know, he's way out of range.
- Mike Wheeler: Lucas, if you can hear us, slow down. We can't understand you.
- Lucas Sinclair: Yes! I copy! Do you? They know about Eleven! Get out of there! They know about Eleven! The bad men are coming! All of them! Do you hear me? The bad men are coming!
- Dustin Henderson: "Mad Hen"... Does that mean anything to you, like a code name or something?
- Lucas Sinclair: [over the radio] The bad men are coming!
- Mike Wheeler: Bad men... bad men!
- [to El]
- Mike Wheeler: Stay here!
- Mike Wheeler: [Dustin and Mike run upstairs to the window where a Hawkins repair truck sits] What's that guy doing?
- Dustin Henderson: You don't think...?
- Mike Wheeler: [Washing dirt off El's face] That's better.
- [El looks at herself in the mirror. She touches her head where her wig used to be]
- Mike Wheeler: [Reassuring] You don't need it.
- Eleven: Still pretty?
- Mike Wheeler: Yeah! Pretty. Really pretty... El?
- Eleven: Yes?
- Mike Wheeler: Um, I'm happy you're home.
- Eleven: Me too.
- [They move closer as Dustin bursts in]
- Dustin Henderson: Guys! It's Lucas! I think he's in trouble.
- [running for the walkie talkie]
- Dustin Henderson: Do you remember how he said he was looking for the gate?
- Mike Wheeler: Yeah?
- Dustin Henderson: What if he found it?
