Then, out in the lonely forest, E.T set up his communicator, and pointed if at the stars. . .
…His strange signal beamed itself out, into that place in the sky where night is forever.
ELLIOTT: E.T, it’s working.
E.T.: Ohhhhh.
ELLIOTT: It's working!
E.T: Home.
ELLIOTT: You did it! It's working.
E.T: Home.
ELLIOTT: E.T, it's working!
We have to go now, E.T we’re so late already.
But nobody had returned E.T's phone call to the stars.
Back at Elliott's house,the net was closing in. Science had discovered
his hideout in the closet upstairs.
That night, Elliott and his friend slept in the forest.
At dawn, when he woke up, E.T was gone.
Elliott, sick with fever, returned home for help.
ELLIOTT: You've got to find him, Mike.
MICHAEL: Where is he?
ELLIOTT: ln the forest…the bald spot. You've got to find him.
MICHAEL: E.T! E.T!
Michael found the little guy, his face down in a stream,
his body gray allover, gray as ash.
Michael gently carried E.T back to the safety of their home –
then snuck him upstairs and laid him down on the bathroom floor.
Now was the time to tell Mom…
MICHAEL: Mom, would you come with me?
MARY: What is it?
MICHAEL: Mary, just come with me.
MARY: Michael, what?
MICHAEL: Mom, remember the goblin?
MARY: Michael, what are you talking about?
MICHAEL: Just swear the most excellent promise you can make
MARY: Michael…
She couldn’t believe what she saw.
MARY: That’s terrific…
E.T.: Mommmmmmm…
Her Hand went limp, the coffee spilled from her cup.
ELLIOTT: We’re sick, I think we’re dying.
MARY: Michael…
MICHAEL: Mom, it’s okay.
MARY: Get her downstairs.
GERTIE: He’s not going to hurt you, Mom.
MICHAEL: He’s not going to hurt you.
MARY: Michael, get her downstairs!
GERTIE: It's the man from the moon! The man from the moon!
Sealed in white protective space suits, the military, the government,
scientists and doctors invaded Elliott's house.
They had zeroed in on E.T and turned the place into a laboratory and hospital.
A huge plastic envelope came down, covering the entire house,
and medical teams moved in on the little guy.
E.T: Home…home...
DOCTOR: Would you say it has the ability to manipulate its own environment?
MICHAEL: He's smart. He communicates through Elliott.
DOCTOR: Elliott thinks its thoughts.
MICHAEL: No, Elliott, Elliot feels his feelings.
They hooked him up to all kinds of machines.
But he was fading, like a star at morning…
ELLIOTT: You're scaring him. You're scaring him -leave him alone.
I can take care of him. E.T
E.T: Ell-i-ott…
ELLIOTT: E.T, stay with me…please.
E.T: Stay…
ELLIOTT: …Together. l'll be right here. l'll be right here.
E.T: Stay…Ell-i-ott…stay…stay…stay…
But E.T was going, where no one could follow.
His star-fire was out and he was as cold as the moon.
E.T: Stay…
NURSE: The creature's pressure is bottoming out, his complexes are slow and widening.
DOCTOR: All right, I'm calling it. What time is it?
E.T. was gone.
DOCTOR: Fifteen hours and thirty six minutes. . . Okay, let's pack him in ice.
So they placed E.T. in a coffin of ice, but left Elliott alone with him, because
Elliott was the one he'd come to, across the great ocean of time.
ELLIOTT: Look at what they've done to you. l'm so sorry . . .
…you must be dead 'cause l don't know how to feel.
I can't feel anything anymore. You're gone someplace else now.
l'll believe in you all my life, everyday. E.T, l love you.
Then a miracle! Elliott noticed E.T.’s wilted flower was moving.
A light opened up in E.T.’s heart, growing brighter and brighter!
From arrange to yellow to white!
E.T: E.T phone home.
ELLIOTT: Ah haaaaa. . . !
E.T: Phone home. Phone home.
The little guy was all worked up, and Elliott had to shut him up so no one would know he was alive.
KEYS: Elliott, why don't you come with me?
ELLIOTT: No…no…no…no….
…and Elliott tuned on the tears, and faked them all out...
KEYS: Would you like the flowers?
Michael and Elliott had a plan.
ELLIOTT: He's alive' He's alive!
MICHAEL: All right!
The scientist put E.T. into a medical van; they didn’t even notice it when the guys snuck aboard.
MAN: Who are you?
MICHAEL: I’m driving.
MAN: Open the door, son.
MICHAEL: There’s a guy out there. What do I do?
ELLIOT: Well, what are you waiting for? Let’s go!
MICHAEL: I’ve never driven forward before!
Michael screamed to his friends…
MICHAEL: Get the bikes! Meet us at the playground at the top of the hill!
He put the little round object in his mouth.
It was delicious, the tastiest thing he'd ever eaten, in the whole universe.
MARY: It's not that we don't believe you, honey.
ELLIOTT: Well, it was real, I swear.
MICHAEL: Maybe it was an iguana.
ELLIOTT: It was no iguana.
MICHAEL: Maybe, ah, ah, you know 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.
ELLIOTT: I couldn't have imagined it!
Elliott had a hunch that this might be the night. So he waited outside in an old chair,
and sure enough, the strange creature appeared;
Someone from another world Elliott's heart almost stopped
E. T was just as scared as Elliott, but he had to hang in there; after all,
he had to eat, he had to live. So he followed Elliott with the candy into the house, and up the stairs.
ELLIOTT: Wow . . .
The two friends found each other, across a thousand universes and fell asleep.
Next day…
ELLIOTT: Do you talk? You know, talk?
Me human. Boy. Elliott. El-li-ott.Elliott. These are toys, these are little men.
This is Greedo, and then this is Hammerhead. See, this is Walrus Man.
And then, this is Snaggle Tooth. And this is Lando Calrissian. See?
And this is Boba Fett. And look, they can even have wars. Look at this.
Argghhh . . .
But how do you share the greatest secret in the world?
ELLIOTT: Now, swear it, the most excellent promise you can make.
Swear, as my only brother on our lives . . .
MICHAEL: Okay, don't get so heavy. I swear.
ELLIOTT: . . . and, um, close your eyes.
MICHAEL: OK, they're closed.
ELLIOTT: OK, uh, swear it, one more time. I have absolute -
MICHAEL: You have absolute power. . . Yes
What he saw blew his mind.
But Elliott was hoping that his Little sister would handle the situation better.
GERTIE: Elliott . . . look what I made for you . . .
And what do you do with something as wild as this weird squashy little guy
with a head shaped like an eggplant?
ELLIOTT: l'm keeping him.
GERTIE: What is it?
ELLIOTT: He won't hurt you, Gertie. He won't hurt you.
But some other people are looking for E.T, also. Tall shadows with flashlights,
keys and heavy shoes,and they want to keep him, too.
Meanwhile, Elliott, Michael and Gertie brought their new friend a potted flower as a gift.
ELLIOTT: We are here. Where are you from?
GERTIE: I don't like his feet.
ELLIOTT: They're only feet, you little twerp. He's trying to tell us something.
E.T.: ur . . . ur . . . rrrrr . . . rrrrr . . .
ELLIOTT: What's he doing?
GERTIE: What's happening?
With the point of his finger, E.T’s magical powers raised five balls up into the air,
and floated them there above everybody’s head.
MICHAEL: Elliott.
ELLIOTT: Oh, no.
Then E.T quietly retired in the closet, with his flower pot, leaving Elliott,Michael and Gertie to go off to school.
MICHAEL: Did you explain school to him?
ELLIOTT: How do you explain school to higher intelligence?
TYLER: Hey, Elliott, where's your goblin?
MICHAEL: Shut up.
STEVE: Did he come back?
GREG: Well, did he?
ELLIOTT: Yeah, he came back. But he's not a goblin.
He's a spaceman.
GREG, TYLER AND STEVE: Ooooh!
He was from the other side of the universe. But he'd figured out how to openElliott’s refrigerator.And he found a can of something that looked. . . pretty, good Beer.
To him, it seemed . . . perfectly harmless.
Meanwhile, on the other side of town, in Elliot biology class. . .
TEACHER: Today we will be doing the actual frog dissection. . .And you will find many similarities.
Elliott found one. The frog reminded him of E.T
ELLIOTT: Run for your lives, back to the river, back to the forest.
Run! I want to save you! Let's get outta here! And all the frogs got out of there -out the window, out the door, and down the road
TEACHER: . . . let me handle this . . . let me handle this . . .
At home, E.T found a newspaper. And the comic strip really caught his eye.There it was,
a spaceman had built a communicator, to phone home.
Then Gertie came home to watch her favorite TV show, when something amazing happened.
GERTIE: B . . . B . . . Biscuits.
E.T: Beeeeeeeeeee - beeeeeeeeeeeeee.
GERTIE: You said B. Good.
ET: Beeeeee goooooooood.
And that wasn’t all he learned to say. When Elliott came home E.T had a surprise for him.
All alone wishing on stars
Waiting for you to find me
One sweet night I knew I would see
A stranger who'd be my friend
When someone in the dark reaches out to you
And touches off a spark that comes shining through
It tells you never be afraid
Then somewhere in your heart you can feel the glow
A light to keep you warm when the night winds blow
Like it was written in the stars I knew
My friend, my someone in the dark was you
Promise me we'll always be
Walking the world together
Hand in hand where dreams never end
My star secret friend and me
When someone in the dark reaches out to you
And touches off a spark that comes shining through
It tells you never be afraid
Then somewhere in your heart you can feel the glow
A light to keep you warm when the night winds blow
Look for the rainbow in the sky
I believe you and I
Could never really say goodbye
Wherever you may be
I'll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me
Wherever you may be
I'll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me
Out in the night sky, a ship was descending, the hull glowing with soft light,
as if a piece of the moon had Fallen . . .
The hatch opened and the crew came out -odd little beings moving quietly
through the leaves, gathering, gathering . . .
. . . a blackberry bush, a rose, a tiny cedar tree . . .
. . . when suddenly -man came-
One of the little beings was cut off,trapped in the trees,
separated from his ship.
He ran as fast as his short legs would carry him.
His chest glowing red, a signal to the crew that he needed help.
His ship was ahead, glowing through the branches. He stumbled toward it,
but the hatch was closing, and the crew was leaving.
The ship lifted off, like the moon slowly rising, then soared away.
A comet swallowed by the night.
The creature’s heartlight faded. He was alone, three million light years from home. The lights of the city twinkled in the valley, below the little being
The friendliest light was coming from a kitchen window, at a boy named Elliott'shouse.
The big guys playing inside made Elliott wait out front for their pizza delivery.
Out back, the creature crawled into the yard and hid in a toolshed.
ELLIOTT: Harvey? Harvey, is that you, boy?
Elliott, looking for his dog in the backyard, heard strange noises coming from the toolshed He picked up his baseball and he threw it in. Whatever it was in there,whipped it right back.
ELLIOTT: Mom, Mom there's someone out there. It's in the toolshed.
It threw the ball at me . . . Quiet! Don't nobody go out there.
. . . Elliott fell asleep that night, with all kinds of strange dreams in his head. And the squashy little guy from outer space came creeping back into the garden, as quietly as he could…but those funny feet of his tripped him up
in a garbage can…
Elliott heard it and came running out. He chased whatever it was behind the house.
But he wasn’t sure that he really wanted to catch up suddenly,
it stopped, and turned.
Next day, Elliott went into the woods...
ELLIOTT: Hel-lo-ooo.
He laid a trail of little candies, one piece after another, and then went back home.
E. T crawled from the bushes. We all know curiosity killed the cat,
but he was too old to change now.
アルバムには珠玉の一曲、Someone In The Darkが入っています。なのに、なぜこの曲のシングル版がでなかったのでしょうか？そしてなぜアルバム自体がもう製造販売中止なのでしょうか・・・。
その答えはエイドリアン本にありました。(p.61) それによれば、ETストーリーブック（LP） がMCAレコードからリリースされるやすぐに法的な争いが始まったそうです。マイケルのレコード会社であるCBSレコードがMCAを契約違反で訴えました。ストーリーブックを年内に出したのではマイケルのソロアルバム（スリラー）と競合してしまうから、という理由です。ニューヨークの最高裁判所はストーリーブックをこれ以上販売してはならないとし、そしてSomeoneIn The Darkのシングル版リリースも禁じました。
