[Today in the Whoregon Trail room of the Love Hotel, there is a lizard-teen and a poorly dressed marquis. The lizard is putting a DVD into the DVD player]

You'll like this one a lot more than Carrie, don't worry.

[you are indeed on my left]

[slides down a bit, and rests his head on your shoulder this is nice]

[headcannon]

[Leans his head on your head. It is]

It is rather charming, isn't it?

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

[nods, a little]

I told you, it's a classic.

[pulls your arm around him, tighter, though. we're maybe getting to the less happy parts]

[headcannon]

[Holds you closer, then, actually paying quite a lot of attention to the screen]

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

[E.T. appears to be dying]

[headcannon]

This... has ceased to be lighthearted or uplifting.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

[just kind of buries himself in your shoulder]

[headcannon]

[Reaches up to stroke the nape of your neck with his fingers, trying to be comforting.]

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

[smiles at that]

This isn't the bad part, though.

[headcannon]

I'm not sure that's entirely comforting.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

[but look, E.T.'s alive again!]

[headcannon]

[Oh, good]

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

[and now the bike scene! with the swelling music and the flying and the evading the bad alien hunter guys]

[headcannon]

Ha! That's always nice then, isn't it? A good, triumphant note to end on.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

[doesn't say anything. he does do that 'snuggling in closer for comforting' thing again]

[headcannon]

[Well that's-- okay, nice, but -- not a good sign]

[NOTHIN' HURTS LIKE A TRANSCRIPT



E.T. (to Elliott): Come.

Elliott: Stay.

E.T. (after touching his heart where there is a ruby-glowing light and then touching his lips, expressing his pain over leaving and separating): Ouch.

Elliott (after repeating the gesture): Ouch.

(Then they embrace in the blue light of the spaceship.)

E.T. (after touching his long finger lightly to Elliott's forehead, his fingertip glows and he indicates): I'll be right here.]

[IT IS AN UPLIFTING ENDING

but also a very sad one]

[headcannon]

[leans over and kisses the corner of your eye]

Thank you, for sharing that with me.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

[smiles at the kiss]

I told you you'd like it more than Carrie.

[headcannon]

Indeed, that was quite enjoyable.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

It definitely deserves to be called one of the best movies ever made.

[headcannon]

Well, from my very limited perspective, I can confidently say it's the best I've ever seen.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

[lifts his head from your shoulder]

I'll find something that's not so depressing next time.
