- Nancy Wheeler: Have you been doing this a while?
- Jonathan Byers: What?
- Nancy Wheeler: Photography.
- Jonathan Byers: Yeah... I guess I'd rather observe people than... you know...
- Nancy Wheeler: Talk to them.
- Jonathan Byers: I know. It's weird.
- Nancy Wheeler: No!
- Jonathan Byers: No, it is! It's just, sometimes... people don't really say what they're really thinking. But when you capture the right moment, it says more.
- Mike Wheeler: [as Eleven noisily tries to boost the walkie talkie signal, annoying Mike] Can you *please* stop that?
- [Eleven continues trying to boost the signal]
- Mike Wheeler: Are you deaf? I thought we were friends, you know? But friends tell each other the truth. And they definitely don't lie to each other. You made me think that Will was okay; that he was still out there, but he wasn't! He wasn't. Maybe you thought you were helping, but you weren't. You hurt me, do you understand? What you did sucks. Lucas was right about you... all along.
- Will Byers: [as El fiddles with the walkie talkie, Will's voice is suddenly heard, singing to himself] "So come on and let me know: should I stay or should I go? Should I stay or should I go now? Should I stay or should I go now? If I go there will be trouble. If I stay there will be double-"
- Mike Wheeler: [Mike seizes the walkie talkie] Will, is that you? It's Mike. Do you copy? Over!
- [only crackling noises are heard]
- Mike Wheeler: Will, are you there? Will!
- [to El]
- Mike Wheeler: Was that... was it...?
- Eleven: Will.
- Dustin Henderson: [as El emerges full made over] Wow. She looks...
- Mike Wheeler: -Pretty...
- [El half smiles and Mike catches himself]
- Mike Wheeler: ... Good. You look pretty good.
- Eleven: [looking at herself in the mirror] Pretty... good.
- Mike Wheeler: [trying to get to the Heathkit] It's locked.
- Lucas Sinclair: What?
- Dustin Henderson: [to El] Hey, do you think you can open it? With your powers?
- Mr. Clarke: Boys?
- [they freeze]
- Mr. Clarke: Assembly's about to start.
- Mike Wheeler: We know. We're just... you know...
- Lucas Sinclair: Upset.
- Dustin Henderson: Ye-yeah, definitely upset.
- Mike Wheeler: And we need some alone time.
- Dustin Henderson: To... cry.
- Mr. Clarke: Yeah, listen, I get it. I do. I know how hard this is. But let's just be there for Will, huh? And then...
- [tosses the keys to Mike]
- Mr. Clarke: the Heathkit is all yours for the rest of the day. What do you say?
- [Noticing El]
- Mr. Clarke: I don't believe we've met. What's your name?
- Eleven: Eleve...
- Mike Wheeler: Eleanor! She's my, uh...
- Lucas Sinclair: Cousin!
- Dustin Henderson: Second cousin!
- Mike Wheeler: She's here for Will's funeral.
- Mr. Clarke: Ah well, welcome to Hawkin's middle, Eleanor. I wish you were here under better circumstances.
- Eleven: Thank you.
- Mr. Clarke: Where are you from exactly?
- Eleven: Bad place...
- Dustin Henderson: Sweden!
- Mike Wheeler: I have a lot of Swedish family.
- Dustin Henderson: She hates it there.
- Lucas Sinclair: Cold.
- Dustin Henderson: Subzero.
- Mr. Clarke: [Confused] Shall we?
- Mike Wheeler: [after the boys listen to the walkie talkie] We keep losing the signal. But you heard it, right?
- Lucas Sinclair: Yeah. I heard a baby.
- Mike Wheeler: What?
- Lucas Sinclair: Mike, you obviously tapped into a baby monitor. It's probably the Blackburns next door.
- Mike Wheeler: Uh, did that sound like a baby to you? That was Will.
- Lucas Sinclair: Mike...
- Mike Wheeler: Lucas, you don't understand. He spoke last night- words! He was singing that weird song he loves. Even El heard him.
- Lucas Sinclair: Oh well, if the weirdo heard him, then I guess...
- Dustin Henderson: Are you sure you're on the right channel?
- Mike Wheeler: I don't think it's about that. I think somehow, *she's* channeling *him*.
- Dustin Henderson: Like Professor X!
- Lucas Sinclair: Are you actually believing this crap?
- Dustin Henderson: I don't know, I mean... do you remember when Will fell of his bike and broke his finger? He sounded a lot like that.
- Lucas Sinclair: Did you guys not see what I saw? They pulled Will's body out of the water. He's dead!
- Dustin Henderson: Well, maybe it's his ghost; maybe he's haunting us.
- Mike Wheeler: It's not his ghost.
- Lucas Sinclair: And how do you know that?
- Mike Wheeler: I just do.
- Lucas Sinclair: Then what was in that water?
- Mike Wheeler: I don't know! All I know is, Will's alive. Will is alive! He's out there somewhere. All we have to do is find him.
- [El tries the radio again]
- Mike Wheeler: This isn't gonna work. We need to get El to a stronger radio.
- Dustin Henderson: Mr. Clarke's Heathkit Ham Shack!
- Lucas Sinclair: The Heathkit's at school. There's no way we're gonna get the weirdo in there without anyone noticing. I mean... *look* at her.
- [the boys stare. El stares back, confused]
- Jim Hopper: Joyce, listen to me. Listen to me. After Sarah... I saw her, too. And I heard her. I didn't know what was real. And then I figured out that it was in my mind. And I had to pack all that away. Otherwise, I was gonna fall down a hole... That I couldn't get out of.
