“It’s like you’re not even here anymore. It’s like you’re a ghost or something.” – Lucas
“My name is Lady Applejack. And I’m a chaotic good half-elf rogue, level 14. I will sneak behind any monster you throw my way and stab them in the back with my poison-soaked kukri. And I’ll smile as I watch them die a slow, agonizing death.” – Erica
“Whilst I respect the passion, you’d be wise to take Gareth the Great’s concern to heart. There is no shame in running. Don’t try to be heroes. Not today.” – Eddie

“You’re bigger than Madonna to them.” – Dr Owens

“Big talk, but weak inside.” – Enzo / Antonov
“We’re not here to train this monster with swords and axes. We’re here to entertain it. And this food isn’t to make us strong. It’s to make us plump. So we’re full of the nutrients and protein that a growing monster might need.” – Hopper

“The truth is, you’re regressing, Eleven. You’re going backwards.” – Dr. Brenner
“I saw what I did. I am a monster.” – Eleven
“You speak of monsters, superheroes. That’s the stuff of myth and fairy tales. Reality, truth, is rarely so simple. People are not so easily defined. Only by facing all of ourselves, the good and the bad, can we become whole.” – Dr. Brenner
“You chose to trust me once. I’m asking you to trust me again. Journey with me into the past one last time. Stop hiding, Eleven.” – Dr. Brenner

“Perhaps someone else can fill in the gaps.” – Dr. Brenner
“I don’t know about what happened between you two, but if I were you, I would get her back. ‘Cause that was as unambiguous a sign of true love as these cynical eyes have ever seen.” – Eddie
“Why would he be opening gates? To take over the world. Who do we know that wants to take over the world? The Mind Flayer. So if the Demogorgon was just his foot soldier, Vecna’s his five-star general. A five-star general with the power to open gates.” – Dustin
“That was incomprehensible. You lost me at Mothergate. Please be kind. Rewind.” – Erica
“We’re in the past.” – Nancy
“How and why is there a gate at Lover’s Lake? Let’s analyze. What do Eleven and Vecna have in common?” – Dustin

“What if I make it go away? You helped me. I help you.” – Eleven
“Whatever comes out of there, hold your ground!” – Enzo / Antonov

“Most people fear spiders. They detest them. And yet, I found them endlessly fascinating. More than that, I found a great comfort in them. A kinship. Like me, they are solitary creatures. And deeply misunderstood. They are gods of our world. The most important of all predators. They immobilize and feed on the weak, bringing balance and order to an unstable ecosystem. But the human world was disrupting this harmony. You see, humans are a unique type of pest, multiplying and poisoning our world, all while enforcing a structure of their own. A deeply unnatural structure.” – 001 / Henry
“Where others saw order, I saw a straitjacket. A cruel, oppressive world dictated by made-up rules. Seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades. Each life a faded, lesser copy of the one before. Wake up, eat, work, sleep, reproduce, and die. Everyone is just waiting. Waiting for it all to be over. All while performing in a silly, terrible play, day after day.” – 001 / Henry
“I could not do that. I could not close off my mind and join in the madness. I could not pretend. And I realized I didn’t have to. I could make my own rules. I could restore balance to a broken world. A predator but for good.” – 001 / Henry
“As I practiced, I realized I could do more than I possibly imagined. I could reach into others, into their minds, their memories. I became an explorer.” – 001 / Henry
“She wanted him to lock me away, to fix me, even though it wasn’t I who was broke. It was them. And so she left me with no choice. No choice but to act. To break free.” – 001 / Henry
“With each life I took, I grew stronger. More powerful. They were becoming a part of me.” – 001 / Henry
“When Papa finally realized he could not control me, he tried to recreate me. He began a program. And soon, others were born. You were born. And I am so glad you were, Eleven.” – 001 / Henry
“They’re not gone, Eleven. They’re still with me. In here.” – 001 / Henry
“You tricked me.” – Eleven
“If you come with me, for the first time in your life, you will be free.” – 001 / Henry
Episode 8
“You’re scared of losing her.” – Will
“And see your coat of arms here? It’s a heart. And I know it’s some sort of on the nose, but that’s what holds this party together. Heart. Because I mean, without heart, we’d all fall apart. Even El. Especially El.” – Will
“When you’re different, sometimes you feel like a mistake. But you make her feel like she’s not a mistake at all. Like she’s better for being different. And that gives her the courage to fight on.” – Will
“Imagine, if you will, the barrier between our worlds is a concrete dam. Henry is putting cracks in this dam. Cracks in dams create pressure. Left unchecked, the pressure will build. And build. And eventually, it will reach a breaking point. And the dam will burst. And when that happens, Hawkins will fall.” – Dr. Brenner
“I saw a dark cloud spreading over Hawkins. Downtown on fire. Dead soldiers. And this giant creature with a gaping mouth. And this creature wasn’t alone. There were so many monsters. An army. And they were coming into Hawkins. Into our neighborhoods. Our homes.” – Nancy
“I survived before. I can survive again.” – Max
“Your friends are not prepared for this fight, Eleven. And neither are you. You must understand when One kills, he doesn’t simply kill. He consumes.” – Dr. Brenner
“To underestimate him, to act rashly, would be very dangerous.” – Dr. Brenner
“You came to me broken. And you’ve learned to walk again. But if you want to stop One, you will need to do more than walk. You will need to do more than run. You will need to fly. And you’re not ready.” – Dr. Brenner
“It’s like he only sees the darkness in us. So I’ll just run in the opposite direction. Run to the light.” – Max
“Are you a parrot, cop? You keep repeating the same thing.” – Yuri
“You are the monster.” – Eleven
“Eleven, I want you to know I’m proud of you. So very proud. You are my family.” – Dr. Brenner
“I’ve only ever wanted to help you. To protect you. Everything I did, I did for you. I want you to understand. Please tell me you understand.” – Dr. Brenner
“Goodbye, Papa.” – Eleven
Episode 9
“Make him pay.” – Eddie
“That mind fight is on.” – Argyle
“We broke out. We break back in.” – Hopper
“Are you ready for the most metal concert in the history of the world?” – Eddie
“I’m gonna die someday. But not today.” – Hopper
“I piggybacked from a pizza dough freezer.” – Eleven
“If you touch her again, I will kill you again.” – Eleven
“I am so glad you are here, Eleven. This is going to be beautiful. So beautiful.” – Henry / Vecna
“You and I, we are different. Papa did hurt me, but he was no monster. He was just a man, an ordinary, mediocre man. That is why he sought greatness in others. In you and me. But in the end, he could not control us. He could not shape us. He could not change us.” – Henry / Vecna
“Do you not see, Eleven? He did not make me into this. You did.” – Henry / Vecna
“I became an explorer. An explorer of realm unspoiled by mankind. I saw so many things and one day, I found the most extraordinary thing of all. Something that would change everything. I saw a means to realize my potential. To transcend my human form. To become the predator I was always born to be.” – Henry / Vecna
“All I needed was someone to open the door. And you did that for me. Without even realizing it. Didn’t you?” – Henry / Vecna
“It is over, Eleven. Your friends have lost. There is nothing you can do to stop this now. Hawkins will burn and fall. And the rest of this senseless, broken world.” – Henry / Vecna
“I love you on your good days. I love you on your bad days. I love you with your powers, without your powers. I love you for exactly who you are. You’re my superhero. And I can’t lose you.” – Mike
“I don’t believe in a higher power or divine intervention. But that was a miracle.” – Robin
“You and your friends believe you have won. Don’t you? But this is only the beginning. The beginning of the end.” – Henry / Vecna
“I can’t feel or see anything.” – Max
“Now that I’m here in Hawkins, I can feel him. And he’s hurt. He’s hurting. But he’s still alive.” – Will
