Chapter One: The Vanishing of Will Byers [1.01]

Mike: [Playing a Dungeons & Dragons] Something's coming. Something hungry for blood. A shadow grows on the wall behind you, swallowing you in darkness. It is almost here.

Will: It was a seven. The roll, it was a seven. The demogorgon... it got me. See you tomorrow!

---

Hopper: Flo, Flo, we've discussed this, mornings are for coffee and contemplation.

---

Hopper: Joyce, this is Hawkins, okay? You wanna know the worst thing that's ever happened here in the four years I've been working here? Do you wanna know the worst thing? It was when an owl attacked Eleanor Gillespie's head because it thought that her hair was a nest.

---

Dustin: Guys, I really think we should turn back.

Lucas: Seriously, Dustin?! You want to run to your mum, be a baby, then go home already!

Dustin: I'm just being realistic, Lucas!

Lucas: No, you're being a big sissy!

Dustin: Did you ever think maybe Will went missing because he ran into something bad? And we're going to the exact same spot where he was last seen? And we have no weapons or anything?

Mike: Dustin shut up...

Dustin: I'm just saying; does that seem smart to you?

Mike: Shut up, shut up... did you guys hear that?!

Hopper: Okay, okay, okay, one at a time, all right?

Troy: Step right up, ladies and gentlemen. Step right up and get your tickets for the freak show.

Troy: Who do you think would make more money in a freak show? Midnight, Frogface, or Toothless?

James: [Mimicking Dustin] I'd go with Toothless.

Dustin: I told you a million times my teeth are coming in. It's called cleidocranial dysplasia.

James: [Mimicking Dustin] I told you a million times.

Troy: [chuckles] Do the arm thing.

James: Do it, freak.

[Dustin cracking and flexing his bone]

Troy: God, it gets me every time.

Lucas: Assholes.

Mike: I think it's cool. It's like you have superpowers or something. Like Mr. Fantastic.

Dustin: Yeah, except I can't fight evil with it.

Chapter Two: The Weirdo on Maple Street [1.02]

Dustin: [To Eleven] We never would've upset you if we knew you had superpowers.

Chapter Three: Holly Jolly [1.03]

Dustin: Why do we need weapons? We have her.

Lucas: She shut ONE door!

Dustin: With her mind!

Chapter Four: The Body [1.04]

Jonathan: People don't say what they're really thinking.

Chapter Five: The Flea and the Acrobat [1.05]

Jonathan: Don’t take it so personally, okay? I don’t like most people. He’s in the vast majority.

Scott Clarke: Science is neat, but I’m afraid it’s not very forgiving.

Chapter Six: The Monster [1.06]

Troy : [Holding Dustin at knife point] Jump. Or Toothless here gets an early trip to the dentist!

Dustin: No! N- [he stops talking as Troy holds the blade near his eyes]

Troy: I'll cut him, right now!

Mike: Alright, just hold on! Hold on!

Dustin: Mike, don't do it! I don't need my baby teeth- Mike! Mike, seriously, don't!

[Mike walks to the edge of the cliff and looks down at the water]

Dustin: Mike, don't do it! Don't do it, Mike!

James: Troy, I don't think this is a good idea, man.

Dustin: Mike, don't!

Troy: Dentist's office opens in Five! Four! Three! Two!

Dustin: MIKE!

Troy: One!

[Mike steps off the cliff and falls. The three boys race to the edge and look over]

Troy: Holy shit.

[Mike is suspended in mid-air, halfway down. As they watch, he suddenly begins rising back up]

Mike: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

[He floats over their heads and lands safely on the ground nearby. They hear footsteps and turn to see Eleven walking towards them with a stern look on her face. As Dustin and Mike grin, Troy brandishes his knife at her; Eleven twitches her neck, and James is thrown to the ground. A sickening crack comes from Troy's arm, causing him to scream and drop the knife.]

Troy: 'AH..! She broke my arm! My arm!

Eleven: [Coldly] Go.

Troy: Let's get outta here! Let's go!

[He and James run away and trip as they leave]

Dustin: [Gleefully] YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT! YOU BETTER RUN! SHE'S OUR FRIEND AND SHE'S CRAZY! YOU COME BACK HERE, AND SHE'LL KILL YOU!

Mike: El?

Eleven: [Crying] Mike... I'm sorry.

Mike: Sorry? What are you sorry for?

Eleven: The Gate... I opened it. I'm the monster.

Mike: [Smiles] No El, you're not the monster. You saved me, do you understand? You saved me.

[He pulls her up into a hug, and Dustin puts his arms around them]

[Nancy storms up to Steve, a hurt and furious expression on her face]

Carol: [Mockingly] Aw, hey there, princess!

Tommy: Uh oh, she looks upset.

[Nancy slaps Steve]

Tommy and Carol: Oh...!

Nancy: What is wrong with you?!

Steve: What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you? I was worried about you. Can you believe I was actually worried about you? [Scoffs]

Nancy: What are you talking about?

Carol: I wouldn't lie, if I were you. You don't want to be known as the "lying slut", now, do you?

[Jonathan walks up]

Tommy: [Notices Jonathan and smiles] Speak of the devil. Hi.

Nancy: [Realizing what happened] You came by last night.

Carol: [Mockingly] Ding ding ding. Does she get a prize?

Nancy: Look, I don't know what you think you saw, but it wasn't like that.

Steve: What you just let him into your room to [pointedly] study?

Tommy: Or for another pervy photo session.

Nancy: We were just-

Steve: You were just what? Finish that sentence. [Menacingly] Finish the sentence. [Nancy doesn't respond] Go to hell Nancy.

Chapter Seven: The Bathtub [1.07]

Steve: [Enraged] Carol, for once in your life, shut your damn mouth!

Carol: What?

Tommy: Hey, what's your problem, man?

Steve: You're both assholes, that's my problem! [Gets up and shoves Tommy]

Tommy: Are you serious right now, man?

Steve: Yeah, I'm serious! You shouldn't have done that!

Tommy: Done what?

Steve: You know what!

Tommy: You mean call her out for what she really is? Oh, that's funny, cause I don't remember you asking me to stop

Steve: I should have put that spray paint right down your throat.

Carol: What the hell, Steve?

Steve: You know, neither of you ever cared about her. You never even liked her. Because she's not miserable like you two! She actually cares about other people.

Carol: [Mockingly] The slut with a heart of gold!

Steve: I TOLD you to watch your mouth!

Tommy: HEY!' [Shoves Steve into the car behind him] I don't know what's gotten into you man, but you don't talk to her that way!

Steve: [Shoves him back] Get out of my face!

Tommy: [Aggressively grabs Steve by the collar and shoves him backwards again] Or what?! Or what?! You gonna fight me now too?! Huh?! You gonna fight me now too?! Because you couldn't take Jonathan Byers! [Whispers threateningly] So I wouldn't recommend that.

Chapter Eight: The Upside Down [1.08]

Martin Brenner: Six.

Joyce: What?

Martin Brenner: Six. Six people have been taken this week. This thing that took your son... We don't really understand it. But it's behavior is predictable. Like all animals, it eats. It will take more sons. More daughters. I want to save them. I want to save your son. But I can't do that. Not without your help.

Joyce: Stop. I know who you are. I know what you've done. You took my boy away from me! You left him in that place to die! You faked his death! We had a funeral. We buried him. And now you're asking for my help? Go to hell.

---

Mike: Just hold on a little longer, okay? He's gone, the Bad Man's gone. We'll be home soon, and my mom? She'll get you your own bed, and you can eat as many Eggos as you want. And... we can go to the Snow Ball.

Eleven: [Weakened] Promise?

Mike: Promise.

[There is a loud shriek as the gunfire outside dies down]

Dustin: Is it... is it dead?

[The door crashes down and the Demogorgon enters the classroom, the lights flickering]

Mike: Go, go go go go!!

Dustin: Get the wrist rocket, get the wrist rocket, now!!

Mike: Go go go go go! Get the rocks, get the rocks, get the rocks!

Dustin: Getting the rocks!

Lucas: Gimme one!

Dustin: Come on! Fire!

Mike: Kill it, kill it!

[Lucas shoots a rock at the Demogorgon and hits it's head, but it only roars with rage]

Lucas: Another one!

Dustin: Kill the bastard! Kill it now!

Mike: Kill it! Go go go go go!

[Lucas fires again, to no effect; the Demogorgon advances on them as Dustin passes Lucas more ammunition]

Dustin: Get, get, get- come on, kill it, bastard!

Lucas: It's not working!

Mike: Hit him again! Keep going, keep going!

Dustin: Kill him! Get, get, get... come on, go, go, go!

[Lucas hits the Demogorgon again, to no effect. As he fires a fourth rock, the Demogorgon is suddenly flung across the room by El's powers, slamming against the blackboard. El stands and walks past the shocked boys, her expression fierce]

Mike: Eleven, stop!

[El uses her powers to push Mike back; she approaches the struggling Demogorgon. As she reaches it, she glances back at Lucas, Dustin and Mike]

Eleven: [Sadly] Goodbye, Mike. [She turns to the Demogorgon] No more. [Both the Demogorgon and El scream as she uses her powers to rip it apart; Lucas, Dustin and Mike cover their ears. When the lights return, El and the Demogorgon have vanished]

Mike: [Repeatedly] El...?!

Lucas and Dustin: Eleven!

Mike: [Tearful] El! El, where are you?! Eleven?! El?!
