Chapter One: Suzie, Do You Copy? [3.01]

edit
Lucas: [About Eleven and Mike] They do this every time!
Max: It's romantic!
Will: It's gross!
Dustin: It's bullshit!
Billy: [To Karen Wheeler] You know, I could uh, teach you if like. I know all the styles. Freestyle... butterfly... breast stroke.
Hopper: Maybe I should just kill Mike. I'm the chief of police, I could cover it up.
Robin: And another one bites the dust. You are 0 for 6 Popeye.
Steve: [Annoyed] Yeah, yeah I can count.
Robin: You know that means you suck.
Steve: Yep, I can read too.
Robin: Since when?
Steve: It's this stupid hat, I'm telling you. It's totally blowing my best feature.
Robin: Yeah, company policy is a real drag. You know, its a crazy idea, but have you considered... telling the truth?
Steve: Oh, you mean that I couldn't even get into tech and my douchebag dad is trying to teach me a lesson? I make three bucks an hour and I have no future, that truth?
Robin: [Pointing at customers walking over] Hey, twelve-o'clock.
Steve: Oh shit, oh shit, okay... I'm going in. Oh, and you know what? [Takes off hat] Screw company policy.
Robin: [Sarcastically] Oh my god, you're a whole new man.
Steve: Right? [Turns towards the customers, who yelp in surprise] Ahoy ladies! Didn't see you there. Would you guys like to set sail on this ocean of flavor with me, I'll be your captain... I'm Steve Harrington.

Chapter Two: The Mall Rats [3.02]

edit
Max: [Walking up to the boys] Well isn't this a nice surprise.
Mike: [Sees Eleven and drops his bike] WHAT are you doing here?
Eleven: [Deadpan] Shopping.
Max: This is her new style. What do you think?
Mike: What's wrong with you? You know she's not allowed to be here!
Max: What is she, your little pet?
Eleven: Yeah, am I your pet?
Mike: What? No!
Eleven: Then why do you treat me like garbage?
Mike: What?
Eleven: You said Nana was sick.
Mike: She is! pLooks to Lucas for support] She is! She is sick!
Lucas: Yeah she's sick, she's really sick! That's why, we're here actually.
Mike: Yeah yeah, we're shopping! Not for us, but for her, for Nana!
Lucas: For Nana! [Max stares at him, suspicious]
Mike: Also we're here to get a gift for you. [Eleven glares at him] We just, we couldn't find anything that suited you, and I only have like, three dollars and fifty cents so it's hard.
Lucas: Super hard! It's.. it's expensive.
Eleven: You lie. [Mike just looks at her] Why do you lie? [Mike doesn't respond. Eleven looks at the bus arriving, and, determined, walks up to Mike with a fierce expression] I dump your ass! [Mike looks shocked, while Max looks both shocked and impressed. Eleven turns and walks away to the bus, Max following. They giggle and hi-five]
Lucas: [To Mike] I'm not gonna lie, it's gonna be bad. But you can fix this. It's just one little mistake. I've made hundreds, thousands. Max has dumped me five times. But what have I done? Huh? Have I despaired? No. I've marched back into battle, and I've won her back every single freaking time.
[Hopper, having been stood up by Joyce, moves to leave the restaurant with a bottle of wine]
Waiter: Sir, I'm afraid no alcohol is allowed off the premises.
Hopper: [Blows raspberry] I can do anything I want. I'm the chief of police.
Steve: I gotta keep in shape for the ladies.
Robin: Yeah, and how's that working out for you?
Steve: Ignore her.
Dustin: She seems cool.
Steve: She's not.
Robin: So I guess that confirms your suspicion.
Dustin: Evil Russians.
Robin: I can't believe I'm about to agree with this strange child, but, yeah, totally evil Russians.

Chapter Three: The Case of the Missing Lifeguard [3.03]

edit
Mike: [Following Will] Will, come on! You can't leave, it's raining! Listen, I said I was sorry, alright? It's a cool campaign, it's really cool! We're just, not in the mood right now.
Will: [Turns to him angrily] Yeah, Mike! That's the problem, you guys are never in the mood anymore! You're ruining our party!
Mike: That's not true!
Will: Really? Where's Dustin right now? [Mike doesn't respond] See? You don't know, and you don't even care, and obviously he doesn't either and I don't blame him! You're destroying everything, and for what? So you can swap spit with some stupid girl!
Mike: (defensive) El's not stupid! It's not my fault you don't like girls! [Will stares at him, at a loss for words] I'm not trying to be a jerk, okay? But we're not kids anymore. I mean, what did you think, really? That we were never gonna get girlfriends? That we were just going to sit in my basement all day and play games for the rest of our lives?
Will: [On the verge of tears] Yeah, I guess I did. I really did. [He gets on his bike and pedals away through the rain]
Max: But here's the thing. When Billy is alone with a girl they make like really crazy noises.
Eleven: They scream?
Max: Yeah, but like, happy screams.
Eleven: Happy screams what is happy screams?
Max: It's like... I'm just gonna lend you my mom's Cosmo.

Chapter Four: The Sauna Test [3.04]

edit
Dustin: [About a ventilation shaft] I'll fit. Trust me. No collar bones, remember?
Robin: Uh, excuse me?
Steve: Oh, he's, uh Yeah, he's got some disease. Chry, uh, It's chrydo, um... something. Yeah, I dunno. He's missing bones and stuff. He can bend like Gumbo.
Robin: You mean Gumby.
Steve: I'm pretty sure it's Gumbo.
Robin: [Unfurls blueprint sheet on table] All right. You see this? This is the route you're gonna take. Then we just wait till the last delivery goes out tonight. Then you knock out the grate, jump down, open the door.
Erica: Then you find out what's in those boxes?
Robin: Exactly.
Erica: Mm-hmm. And you say this guard is armed.
Robin: Yes, but he won't be there.
Erica: And booby traps?
Robin: Booby traps?
Erica: Lasers, spikes in the wall?
Robin: What?
Erica: You know what this half-baked plan of yours sounds like to me? Child endangerment.
Robin: We'll be in radio contact with you the whole time...
Erica: Ah, ah, ah! Child endangerment.
Dustin: Erica? Hi. Uh... We think these Russians want to do harm to our country. Great harm. Don't you love your country?
Erica: You can't spell "America" without "Erica".
Dustin: Uh, yeah, yeah. Oddly, that's, uh, totally true. So, so, don't do this for us. Do it for your country. Do it for your fellow man. Do this for America... Erica.
Erica: Ooh! I just got the chills. Oh, yeah, from this float, not your speech. Know what I love most about this country? Capitalism. Do you know what capitalism is?
Dustin and Robin: Yeah.
Erica: It means this is a free market system. Which means people get paid for their services, depending on how valuable their contributions are. And it seems to me, my ability to fit into that little vent is very, very valuable to you all. So, you want my help? This USS Butterscotch better be the first of many. And I'm talking free ice cream for life.
Erica: Commence Operation Child Endangerment.
Robin: Can we maybe not call it that?
Joyce: Who you calling? The police?

Chapter Five: The Flayed [3.05]

edit
Joyce: What is your problem?!
Murray: Please stop talking!
Joyce: No! We have had a very long day. We've been shot at, nearly blown up, walked god knows how many miles in 100 degree heat, stole a car, all while being chased by this gigantic psychopath, all so we could bring HIM to YOU because somehow you're the closest person who speaks Russian, which I can't believe but that doesn't matter because unfortunately we're here. So if you don't mind put that thing away, stop behaving like a jackass, and ask him what he's doing that’s making my magnets fall off my damn fridge! Please!
Mike: What are they still doing in there?
Lucas: I don't know. Girls just like hanging out in bathrooms.
Mike: Why?
Lucas: I mean, I don't know.
Hopper: Joyce! Drive!
Joyce: I'M TRYING!
Hopper: Joyce, please! JOYCE! DRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Dr. Alexei: [In Russian] Get that out of my face, you bald American pig.
Murray: [In Russian] I may be bald, but you're the one in handcuffs, Soviet scum.

Chapter Six: E Pluribus Unum [3.06]

edit
Murray: I don't understand what he's saying.
Joyce: I thought you were fluent.
Murray: Oh, I'm sorry. Are my free translation services not good enough for you? Because you can just go ahead and file your complaint right up my ass!
Murray: [Translating for Alexei, speaking to Hopper] He says he likes your courage. You remind him of a fat Rambo.
Dustin: Holy shit - you're a nerd!
Erica: Come again?
Dustin: You... are... a... nerd!
Erica: Okay, you better take that back, nerd!
Dustin: Can't put the truth back in the box.
Erica: But it's not the truth.
Dustin: Let's examine the facts, shall we? Fact one: you're a math whiz, apparently...
Erica: That was a pretty straightforward equation.
Dustin: Fact two: you're a political junkie...
Erica: Just because I don't agree with communism as an ideology...
Dustin: [Holding up her backpack] Fact number three: you LOVE My Little Pony.
Erica: And what does My Little Pony have to do with this?
Dustin: Let's recall the ponies' latest adventure, shall we? The evil centaur demon Tirek turns Applejack into a dragon at Midnight Castle, and then Megan and the other ponies have to use Moochik's magic to defeat his rainbow of darkness, saving them from a lifetime of enslavement. All the pink in the world can't disguise the irrefutable fact that centaurs and castles and dragons and magic are all standard nerd tropes. Ergo, 'My Little Pony' is nerdy, ergo, you, Erica, are a nerd.
Erica: And how do YOU know so much about My Little Pony?
Dustin: Because I'm... a nerd. [Finishes shutting off the fan] Let's go... nerd.
Billy: [Mindflayer speaking through Billy] You shouldn't have looked for me. Because now I see you. Now we can all see you. You let us in. And now, you are going to have to let us stay. Don't you see? All this time, we've been building it. We've been building it, for you. All that work. All that pain. All of it... for you. And now it's time. Time to end it. And we're going to end you and when you are gone we are going to end your friends.
Eleven: [Screams] No!
Billy: And then we are going to end... everyone.
[Billy sheds tear]]
Eleven: [Screams] Get away!

Chapter Seven: The Bite [3.07]

edit
Dustin: Are you gonna die on us?
Robin: We all die, my strange little child friend. It's just a matter of how and when.
Steve: So what do you think?
Robin: About?
Steve: This girl.
Robin: She sounds awesome.
Steve: She is awesome. And what about the guy?
Robin: I think he's on drugs, and he's not thinking straight.
Steve: Really? Cause I think he's thinking a lot more clearly than usual.
Robin: He's not. Look, he doesn't even know this girl. And if he did know her, like, really know her, I don't think he'd even wanna be her friend.
Steve: Robin, that's not true, no way is that true.
Robin: Listen to me, Steve. It shocked me to my core, but I like you. I really like you. But I am not like your other friends, and I am NOT like Nancy Wheeler.
Steve: Robin, that's exactly what I like about you.
Robin: Do you remember what I said about Click's class? About me being jealous and, like, obsessed?
Steve: Yeah.
Robin: It isn't because I had a crush on you. It's because she wouldn't stop staring at you.
Steve: Mrs. Click?
[Robin laughs to herself]
Robin: Tammy Thompson. I wanted her to look at me. But she couldn't pull her eyes away from you and your stupid hair. And I didn't understand, because you would get bagel crumbs all over the floor. And you asked dumb questions. And you were a douchebag. And-and you didn't even like her and I would go home and just scream into my pillow.
Steve: But Tammy Thompson's a girl.
Robin: [Softly] Steve.
Steve: Yeah? [He sees Robin's expression] Oh. Oh. Holy shit.
Robin: Yeah. Holy shit. [She looks down nervously as Steve processes the information] Steve, you OD over there?
Steve: Nah I'm just, I'm just thinking.
Robin: [quietly] Okay.
Steve: I mean, yeah. Tammy Thompson, y'know, she's cute and all but, I mean... she's a total dud.
Robin: She is not.
Steve: Yes she is. She wants to be like a singer, she wants to move to like, Nashville and shit.
Robin: She has dreams.
Steve: She can't even hold a tune. I mean, she's practically tone deaf, have you heard her. [Robin rolls her eyes, amused] All the time, you see me now tonight, you see me-
Robin: She does not sound like that.
Steve: She sounds exactly like that. That's a great impersonation of her.
Robin: No, she does not sound like that. You sound like a Muppet.
Steve: SHE sounds like a Muppet! She sounds like a Muppet giving birth! [Robin bursts out laughing and starts singing like Kermit]] And if you can hold me tight,
Robin: [Joining in] You'll be holding on, forever!
Steve: Exactly!
Robin: I know! [They both continue laughing uncontrollably]
[Dustin and Erica burst into the room]
Dustin: Okay, what the hell? [Steve and Robin look at each other and start laughing again]
Max: [To Nancy, who is bandaging El's wound] Whoa, hey, what are you doing?
Nancy: Cleaning the wound?
Max: No, first we need to stop the bleeding, then clean, then disinfect, then bandage.
[everyone stares at her]
Max: I skateboard, trust me.

Chapter Eight: The Battle of Starcourt [3.08]

edit
Hopper: [to Mike and Eleven] There's something I've been wanting to talk to you both about - and I know this is a difficult conversation. But I care about you both very much. And I know you care about each other very much and that's why it's important that we set these boundaries moving forward so we can build an environment, where we ALL feel comfortable, trusted and open to sharing our feelings. Feelings. Jesus. The truth is, for so long, I'd forgotten what those even were. I've been stuck in one place - in a cave, you might say. A deep dark cave. And then, I left some Eggos out in the woods and you came into my life and... for the first time in a long time, I started to feel things again. I started to feel happy. But lately, I guess I've been feeling... distant from you. Like you're pulling away from me or something. I miss playing board games every night, making triple-decker Eggo extravaganzas at sunrise, watching westerns together before we doze off. But I know you're getting older, growing, changing. And I guess... if i'm being really honest, that's what scares me. I don't want things to change. So I think maybe that's why I came here, to try to maybe... stop that change. To turn back the clock. To make things go back to how they were. But I know that's naive. It's just... not how life works. It's moving. Always moving whether you like it or not. And yeah, sometimes it's painful. Sometimes it's sad and sometimes it's surprising. Happy. So you know what? Keep on growing up, kid. Don't let me stop you. Make mistakes, learn from 'em, and when life hurts you - because it will - remember the hurt. The hurt is good. It means you're out of that cave. But, please, if you don't mind, for the sake of your poor old dad, keep the door open three inches.
Suzie: Dusty-bun?
Erica: "Dusty-bun"?
Suzie: Where have you been?
Dustin: I'm so, so sorry. I--I've been really busy uh, trying to save the world from Russians and monsters.
Suzie: Of course you have.
Suzie: I haven't heard from you in a week, and now you want a mathematical equation that you should know so you can save the world?
Dustin: Suzie-poo, I promise, I will make it up to you as soon as possible.
Suzie: You can make it up to me now.
Dustin: What?
Suzie: I want to hear it.
Dustin: Not right now.
Suzie: Yes, now, Dusty-bun.
Dustin: Suzie-poo, this is urgent.
Suzie: Yes, yes, you're saving the world, I heard you the first time, but Ged is also saving Earth, see, and he's about to confront the shadow, so this is Suzie, signing off.
Dustin: Wait, wait, wait! Okay. Okay. Shit. [He starts nervously singing The Neverending Story by Limahl] Turn around Look at what you see...
[Three months after Starcourt Mall's destruction, a commercial plays]
Announcer: Welcome to Hawkins, Indiana. A wonderful place to grow up. To raise your family, to walk your dog. But then -- on July fourth, everything changed. A terrible tragedy struck this small town. But that was not this small town’s first brush with tragedy. Mysterious deaths, government cover ups, a bizarre chemical leak. Is it all linked? All a vast conspiracy? The fault of a disgraced mayor? Or is something more going on in the heartland? Can a town itself be cursed? Some believe a rise in Satanism is to blame. To find out, tune in tonight at eight PM for “Horror in the Heartland” on Cutting Edge.
[Will puts his "Dungeons & Dragons" rulebooks in a box]
Mike: Whoa, dude. That's the donation box.
Will: I know. I'll just use yours when I come back. I mean, if we still want to play.
Mike: Yeah but what if you want to join another party?
Will: Not possible.
[A touched Mike grins. Will returns the smile]
Eleven: Did you talk to your mom? About Thanksgiving?
Mike: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got the okay. I'll be there. And then I was thinking maybe you could come up here for Christmas. And Will too. You can come here before or after Christmas or whatever Mrs. Byers wants but I was thinking Christmas Day could be super fun because we'd all have cool new presents to play with and, uh... [chuckles] Sorry, that made me sound like a seven-year-old.
Eleven: I like presents too.
Mike: Yeah, cool. Yeah. I like... I like presents too. [Pause]
Eleven: Mike?
Mike: Yeah?
Eleven: Remember that day… at the cabin, you were talking to Max?
Mike: Um … I don't think I follow.
Eleven: You talked about your-- your feelings, your heart.
Mike: Oh. Oh, yeah, that. Man, that was so long ago. Um … That was really heat of the moment stuff, and we were arguing and… I don't really remember… What did I say, exactly?
Eleven: Mike… I love you too.
[Eleven moves closer and kisses Mike]
