Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. E.T. comes to Earth to observe human beings.

Answer: False

E.T. is a botanist, and he comes to Earth to collect plant samples. They show him or one of his "co-workers" digging up a little tree and bringing it into the ship where we see other specimens.

2. What is it that first makes E.T.'s heart light go on?

Answer: He hears an owl hoot.

All of their heart lights go on when the owl makes noise. I think this is a way of connecting with each other.

3. Do the boys get the song they requested on the radio?

Answer: Yes

It was "Papa Oh Mau Mau" and you can hear it playing in the background.

4. What candy does Elliot use to lure E.T.?

Answer: Reeses Pieces

I hope you got that one! Don't you feel the need to eat them when you watch the movie?

5. Who plays Gertie, Elliot's younger sister?

Answer: Drew Barrymore

She's also been in "The Wedding Singer" and "Charlie's Angels".

6. Where does E.T. hide when Elliot's mother comes upstairs into his bedroom?

Answer: In the closet

He blends in with all the stuffed animals in the closet and she doesn't have a clue.

7. What are the students in Elliot's science class supposed to dissect, before he releases them all?

Answer: frogs

"I have to save them!"

8. What is NOT an item that makes up E.T.'s communication device?

Answer: headphones

It also consisted of a record player, an umbrella and a coat hanger, among other things.

9. What time were the kids supposed to be back from trick-or-treating?

Answer: An hour after sunset

Their mother tells them this as they are about to leave. Elliot didn't come back until the next morning.

10. When Michael finds E.T. by the river, squirrels are surrounding him.

Answer: False

A raccoon is near him. This part is so sad! He's all white and thin!

11. What does Elliot's mother yell to the scientists when they start "invading" her house?

Answer: "This is my home!"

When I was little I always thought the people were astronauts because of those weird suits.

12. The doctors and medical staff that work on E.T. are doctors in real life.

Answer: True

Steven Spielberg asked some doctors to come out and do the scene. This way the "medical talk" would be more natural and realistic.

13. How does Elliot first find out that E.T. is alive again?

Answer: He sees the plant growing again.

He walks past E.T.'s flowering plant, sees it growing again and runs back to E.T. "E.T. phone home!" "Does this mean they're coming?" "Yes!"

14. What is Michael's friend Greg's response when Elliot tells them they are taking E.T. back to his ship?

Answer: "Can't he just beam up?"

"This is reality Greg."

15. What is the last thing E.T. says in the movie?

Answer: "I'll be right here."

He says "be good" to Gertie, "thank you" to Michael, and "come" to Elliot, but as he is just about to board the ship, his little glowing finger points to Elliot's mind and he says, "I'll be right here." And there I go crying like a baby...AGAIN!
