Happy Sad Confused
Steven, did Elliott ever see E.T. again?
Never saw him again.
But he did dream about him.
So there was
a psychic link between
the two of them.
If you notice that E.T.
touched Elliott
right here and said,
"I'll be right here."
I'll be right here.
Touched him there.
Trippy moment
for you, right?
- For the rest of Elliott's life.
That was really cool.
-Thank you for clocking that, Emily.
Yeah, I know right?
Did that just happen?
I think you just cried
a little bit.
Definitely.
