Jim Hopper : Joyce, this is Hawkins, okay? You wanna know the worst thing that's ever happened here in the four years I've been working here? Do you wanna know the worst thing? It was when an owl attacked Eleanor Gillespie's head because it thought that her hair was a nest.

Jim Hopper : Flo, Flo, we've discussed this. Mornings are for coffee and contemplation.

Jim Hopper : [all boys trying to speak at once] Okay, okay, okay, one at a time, all right?
[points to Mike]
Jim Hopper : You. You said he takes what?
Mike Wheeler : Mirkwood.
Jim Hopper : Mirkwood?
Mike Wheeler : Yeah.
Jim Hopper : Have you ever heard of Mirkwood?
Officer Callahan : I have not. It sounds made up to me.
Lucas Sinclair : It's from Lord of the Rings.
Dustin Henderson : Actually, The Hobbit.
Lucas Sinclair : Who cares?
Dustin Henderson : He asked.
Lucas Sinclair : [mocking] He asked!
Mike Wheeler : Shut up, guys!
Jim Hopper : Hey, hey! What did I just say? Shut up. One at a damn time.
[to Mike]
Jim Hopper : You.
Mike Wheeler : Mirkwood. It's a real road, it's just the name that's made up. It's where Cornwallis and Kerley meet.
Jim Hopper : Yeah I think I know that.
Mike Wheeler : We can show you if you want.
Jim Hopper : I said that I know it.
Mike Wheeler : We can help look.
Dustin Henderson : Yeah.
Jim Hopper : No.
[boys protest]
Jim Hopper : No. After school, you all go home. Immediately. That means no biking around looking for your friend, no investigating, no nonsense. This isn't some Lord of the Rings book.
Dustin Henderson : The Hobbit.
Lucas Sinclair : Shut up!
[boys try to punch each other with Mike stuck between them]
Mike Wheeler : Stop!
Jim Hopper : Do I make myself clear?
[stands over the boys]
Jim Hopper : Do I make myself... clear?
Mike Wheeler : Yes sir.

Joyce Byers : He has a couple of friends, but, you know the kids, they're mean. They make fun of him. They call him names. They laugh at him, his clothes...
Jim Hopper : His clothes? What's wrong with his clothes?
Joyce Byers : I don't know. Does that matter?
Jim Hopper : Maybe.
