Maybe he's like a worker bee who only knows how to push buttons or something. Elliot: [knowingly] He's so smart. Michael: Okay, I just hope we don't wake up on Mars or something surrounded by millions of these little squashy guys.

Michael: Maybe it was an iguana. Elliot: It was *no* iguana. Michael: Maybe, um - You know how they say there are alligators in the sewers? Gertie: Alligators in the sewers. Mary: All we're trying to say is, maybe you just probably imagined it. It happened... Elliot: I couldn't have imagined it! Michael: Maybe it was a pervert or a deformed kid or something. Gertie: A deformed kid. Michael: [mockingly] Maybe an elf or a leprechaun. Elliot: It was nothing like that, penis-breath! Mary: [laughs in shock] *Elliott!* Sit down.

Movie Trivia:
- At the auditions, Henry Thomas thought about the day his dog died to express sadness. Director Steven Spielberg cried, and hired him on the spot.
-
Harrison Ford played the school principal, but his only scene was cut as Steven Spielberg considered his presence would be too distracting. Ford's wife Melissa Mathison wrote the screenplay.
-
ET's face was modeled after poet Carl Sandburg, Albert Einstein and a pug dog.
-
ET's communicator actually worked, and was constructed by Henry Feinberg, an expert in science and technology interpretation for the public.
-
Steven Spielberg shot most of the film from the eye-level of a child to further connect with Elliot and E.T.
