[Hopper] What I, uh… needed to say to you… What I wanted to say to you…
is that, um…
[Mike] Uhoh. I think we're in trouble.
[both chuckling]
[Hopper] No. No, nobody's in trouble, okay? I just, um… Uh…
[Eleven laughs]
[Hopper] You know what? Your mom called.
[Mike] What?
[Hopper] Yeah. She needs you home right away.
[Mike] Is everything okay?
[Hopper] No, I don't think so. It's your grandma.
[uneasy music plays]
[Mike] Is she dead?
[Hopper] No.
[Mike] Did she fall again?
[Hopper] No.
[Mike] Does she have cancer?
[Hopper] No.
[Mike] Then I don't understand. What's wrong with Nana?
[Hopper] Nothing! There's nothing wrong with Nana!
[Mike] What?
[Hopper] But… there's something very wrong with this thing between you and El.
[Mike sniffles, grunts] Oh, you lying piece of shit! You're crazy!
[Hopper] Crazy? You want to see real crazy? You disrespect me again. Okay? Here's what's gonna happen. I'm gonna drive you home. And I'm gonna speak… and you're going to listen. And then, maybe… maybe by the end of it, maybe if you're lucky, maybe… I will continue to allow you to date my daughter. Nod if you understand!
