Nancy: Yeah, screw that

 

Jonathan: My dad took me hunting on my birthday. Made me kill a rabbit.

Jonathan: What? I’m a fan of Thumper.

 

Jim: Will’s body, it was a fake….you were right…..this whole time you were right.

That’s like R2-D2 fighting Darth Vader.

Chapter Eight: The Upside Down [S1.E8]

 

Martin Brenner: Six.

Joyce Byers: 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 Byers: 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.

 

Eleven: No more…

 

Jim: You think I actually wanted to come to this?

I was just hungry!
