Mike Wheeler : [to Will; tearfully] Do you remember the first day that we met? It was... it was the first day of kindergarten. I knew nobody. I had no friends... and I just felt so alone and so scared but I saw you on the swings and you were alone too. You were just swinging by yourself and I just walked up to you and I asked... I asked if you wanted to be my friend. And you said yes. You said yes. It was the best thing I've ever done.

Nancy Wheeler : Okay, so this... Mind Flamer thing...
Dustin Henderson : Flayer. Mind Flayer.
Nancy Wheeler : ...what does it want?
Dustin Henderson : To conquer us, basically. It believes it's the master race.
Steve Harrington : Like the, like the Germans.
Dustin Henderson : Uh, the Nazis?
Steve Harrington : Yeah, yeah, the Nazis.
Dustin Henderson : Uh, if the Nazis were from another dimension, totally. It views other races, like us, as inferior to itself.
Mike Wheeler : It wants to spread and taker over other dimensions.
Lucas Sinclair : We are talking about the destruction of our world as we know it!
Steve Harrington : [sarcastic] That's great! That's great, that's really great.
Nancy Wheeler : Okay, so if this thing is like a brain that's controlling everything, then if we kill it...
Mike Wheeler : We kill everything it controls.
Dustin Henderson : We win.
Lucas Sinclair : Theoretically.
Jim Hopper : [looking in the D&D manual] Alright great, so how do you kill this thing, do you shoot it with fireballs or something?
Dustin Henderson : No, no, no fireballs. Uh, you summon an undead army because, uh, zombies, you know, they don't have brains, and the Mind Flayer, it likes brains...
[awkward pause]
Dustin Henderson : It's just a game. It's a game.
