- Jim Hopper: Alright, I'm just going to be out here by myself eating all this candy. I'm gonna get fat. It's very unhealthy to leave me out here. I could have a heart attack or something. But... y'know... you do what you want.
- [the boys are dressed as the Ghostbusters for Halloween]
- Mike Wheeler: [to Lucas] Whoa whoa whoa - why are you Venkman?
- Lucas Sinclair: Because I'm Venkman!
- Mike Wheeler: No, I'm Venkman!
- Will Byers: Why can't there just be two Venkmans?
- Mike Wheeler: Because there's only one Venkman in real life! We planned this months ago! I'm Venkman, Dustin's Stantz, you're Egon, and you're Winston!
- Lucas Sinclair: I specifically didn't agree to Winston!
- Mike Wheeler: Yes you did!
- Will Byers: I don't think he did.
- Lucas Sinclair: No one wants to be Winston, man!
- [Dustin shakes his head, agreeing]
- Mike Wheeler: What's wrong with Winston?
- Lucas Sinclair: What's wrong with Winston? He joined the team super-late, he's not funny, and he's not even a scientist!
- Mike Wheeler: Yeah, but he's still cool.
- Lucas Sinclair: If he's cool, then YOU be Winston.
- Mike Wheeler: I can't!
- Lucas Sinclair: Why not?
- Mike Wheeler: B-because...
- Lucas Sinclair: [sarcastic] B-b-b-because you're not black?
- Mike Wheeler: I didn't say that.
- Lucas Sinclair: You thought it!
- Mike Wheeler: Is this all real? Or is it like the doctors say, all in your head?
- Will Byers: I don't know. Just please don't tell the others, okay? They won't understand.
- Mike Wheeler: Eleven would.
- Will Byers: She would?
- Mike Wheeler: 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.
- Will Byers: Me too.
- Mike Wheeler: Hey, well, if we're both going crazy, then we'll go crazy together, right?
- Will Byers: Yeah, crazy together.
- Lucas Sinclair: [sighs] If I get another 3 Musketeers, I'm gonna kill myself.
- Dustin Henderson: What's wrong with 3 Musketeers?
- Lucas Sinclair: What's wrong with 3 Musketeers? No one likes 3 Musketeers.
- Mike Wheeler: Yeah, it's just nougat.
- Dustin Henderson: Whoa. Just nougat? Just nougat? It is top three for me.
- Mike Wheeler: Top three?
- Dustin Henderson: Um... Hi, Max. I'm Dustin, and this is...
- Lucas Sinclair: Lucas.
- Max Mayfield: Yeah, I know. The stalkers.
- Lucas Sinclair: Uh, no. Actually... We weren't stalking you.
- Dustin Henderson: No, we were just concerned because, you know, you're new and all.
- Lucas Sinclair: Yeah! For your safety.
- Dustin Henderson: Mmm-hmm. There are a lot of bullies here.
- Lucas Sinclair: So many bullies, its crazy.
- Max Mayfield: Is that why you're wearing proton packs?
- Dustin Henderson: Well, these don't function. But! I do have this handy-dandy little trap here. And look, it even opens and closes. Look, look, look...
- [Opens Trap]
- Dustin Henderson: Voila! It's cool, right? No? Okay! But, um... So, we were talking last night, and you're new here, so you probably don't have any friends to take you trick-or-treating, and you're scared of bullies, so we were thinking that it would be okay if you come with us.
- Max Mayfield: It'd be okay?
- Dustin Henderson: Yeah! Our party's a democracy, and the majority voted you could come.
- Max Mayfield: I didn't realize it was such an honor to go trick-or-treating with you.
- Dustin Henderson: Yeah, I mean, we know where to get the full-sozed candy bars. We figured you'd want in.
- Max Mayfield: That's presumptuous of you.
- Dustin Henderson: ...Yeah. Totally. Uh, so, um... You'll come?
- [Max walks away]
- Dustin Henderson: We're meeting at the Maple Street cul-de-sac at 7:00. That's 7:00 on the dot!
- [to Lucas]
- Dustin Henderson: Presumptuous. That's a good thing, right?
- Lucas Sinclair: [sighs and walks away]
- Dustin Henderson: Is it bad? Lucas, is it bad? Lucas? Son of a bitch, Lucas! Is it bad?
