NO ONE'S POV:
(Eleven's still wailing & screaming in pain.)
Erica: What is that?
Mike: There's something in there.
Eleven: No!
Dustin: Jesus Christ.
Jonathan: Keep her talking. Keep her awake, okay?
(He goes into one of the fast food places to get a wooden spoon & a knife which he heats up.)
Mike: Hey, hey, hey. Stay awake, stay awake. Let's get her on this side, on this side.
(They move her.)
Steve: Easy, easy, easy, easy.
Robin: It's, uh...You know, it's not actually that bad. There was a...The goalie on my soccer team, Beth Wildfire, this other girl slid into her leg, and the bone came out of her knee, six inches or something, it was insane.
Steve: Robin.
Robin: Yeah?
Steve: You're not helping.
Robin: I'm sorry.
(Y/N): I could, you know...
Mike: You are not cutting her leg off!
Nancy: (Y/N).
Steve: Dude, seriously?
(Y/N): Hey! I wasn't suggesting that...yet.
(Jonathan returns & tells Eleven to put the spoon in her mouth which she does. With the heated knife, he cuts open her wound & starts searching for whatever's in her leg.)
Eleven: No! Stop it! Stop! Stop!
(She pushes Jonathan away from her.)
Eleven: [grunts] I can do it. I can do it. [panting]
(She sits up & with her powers, she's able to pull the thing out of her leg. She tosses it aside where it's stepped on by...)
(Mike explains what they've been through.)
Mike: The Mind Flayer, it built this monster in Hawkins, to stop El, to kill her and pave a way into our world.
Max: And it almost did. That was just one tiny piece of it.
Hopper: How big is this thing?
Jonathan: It's big. [murmurs] Thirty feet at least.
Lucas: Yeah. It sorta destroyed your cabin. Sorry.
Steve: Okay, so, just to be clear, this...this big fleshy spider thing that hurt El, it's some kind of gigantic...weapon?
Nancy: Yes.
Steve: But instead of, like, screws and metal, the Mind Flayer made its weapon...with melted people.
Nancy: Yes, exactly.
Steve: Yeah, okay. I--Yeah, I'm just making sure.
(Y/N): Gross. Can I fight it?
Max: I don't think you're gonna want to touch it when you see it but, yes, you can fight it.
Robin: I'm sorry. I know I'm new to all of this, but, how exactly is (Y/N) going to fight this thirty foot flesh monster?
Dustin: Are you serious?
Robin: Yes.
Nancy: Do you not know?
Robin: Know what?
Nancy: That he's a--
(Y/N): Hey, Nancy. Don't.
Nancy: Why not?
(Y/N): All of you, every single one of you has told somebody what I am...Even though it's my secret to tell! Didn't even ask me if it was okay!
All: Sorry.
Murray: I know who you are.
(Y/N): And who the hell are you?! Hopper?!
Hopper: What?
Robin: Can you tell me your secret now?
(Y/N): Later...
Joyce: Are we sure this thing is still out there, still alive?
Max: El, beat the shit out of it, but, yeah, it's still alive.
Will: But if we close the gate again--
Max: We cut the brain off from the body.
Lucas: And kill it. Theoretically.
(Murray gets everyone's attention.)
Murray: Okay, this is what Alexei called "the hub." Now, the hub takes us to the vault room.
Hopper: Okay, where's the gate?
Murray: Right here. I don't know the scale on this, but I think it's fairly close to the vault room, maybe 50 feet or so.
Erica: More like 500. What, you're just gonna waltz in there like it's commie Disneyland or something?
Murray: I'm sorry, who are you?
Erica: Erica Sinclair. Who are you?
Murray: Murray...Bauman.
Erica: Listen, Mr. Bunman, I'm not trying to tell you how to do things, but I've been down in that shithole for 24 hours. And with all due respect, you do what this man tells you, you're all gonna die.
(Dustin & Erica come up with a better plan. Hopper tosses them a walkie-talkie.)
Hopper: Hey, heads up. You can navigate, just from a safeplace.
Dustin: It's not that simple.
Erica: The signal won't reach.
Dustin: Not with this. You need something with a high enough frequency band to relay with the Russians' radio tower. But for that to work, you need someone who has both seen their comms room and has access to a super-powered handcrafted radio tower, one preferably already situated at the highest point in Hawkins. Oh, wait. That's me. If you want us to navigate, you got us. But we need a head start. And a car.
(Cut to the mall group walking towards a car.)
Steve: Oh, man, now this...this is what I'm talking about!
Robin: "Toddfather"?
Steve: Oh, screw Todd! Steve's her daddy now.
Robin: Did you just talk about yourself in the third person?
Erica: Did he just call himself daddy?
(Y/N): Yes to both.
(They hop into the car.)
Steve: All right, where are we going?
Dustin: Weathertop.
Steve: Weather-what?
Dustin: Just drive.
Steve: Okay. Jesus!
(Cut to them on their way to Weathertop.)
Steve: Jesus, how far is this place, man?
Dustin: Relax, we're almost there.
Robin: Suzie must be pretty special, huh? I mean, if you built this thing and lugged it all the way to the middle of nowhere just to talk to her?
Dustin: I mean, nobody's scientifically perfect, but Suzie's about as close to being perfect as any human could possibly be.
(Y/N): [chuckles] Oh, my God.
Erica: She sound made-up to me. She sound made-up to you?
(Steve hesitates.)
Dustin: Why are you hesitating, Steve?
Steve: I'm--I'm--I'm not! I'm not! I think she sounds real. You know, totally, absolutely real.
Dustin: (Y/N)?
(Y/N): I have complete faith that she's real.
Dustin: Left. Turn left.
Steve: There's not a road here.
Dustin: Turn left now!
Steve: Jesus! Hang on!
(He steers the car off-road.)
Steve: Whoa! Henderson, where are we going?!
Dustin: Up!
Steve: Whoa!
(Y/N): Oh, Jesus!
Robin: We're not gonna make it!
Steve: Yes, we are. Come on, baby. Come on, baby!
(The car gets stuck uphill.)
Robin: Guess the Toddfather has its limitations.
Steve: [panting]
(They exit the car & make their way to the tower.)
Dustin: Bald Eagle, do you copy? Bald Eagle, I repeat, this is Scoops Troop, do you copy?
Murray: Yes, I copy.
Scoops Troop: [chuckle in relief]
Dustin: Call sign?
Murray: [scoffs] Bald Eagle.
Dustin: Please repeat.
Murray: Bald Eagle. This is Bald Eagle!
Dustin: Copy that. Good to hear your voice, Bald Eagle. What's your 20?
Murray: We reached the vent. I'll contact you when I need you. Until then, silence.
Dustin: Roger that, Bald Eagle. This is Scoops Troop, going radio silent. 10-10, over.
(Cut to Murray crawling in the vents as Dustin & Erica lead him through it. Robin & Y/N are kneeling behind them.)
Robin: So much for you being a werewolf.
(Y/N): What?
Robin: It's a full moon and you haven't turned into a giant wolf-man. Real letdown.
(Y/N): Letdown?
Robin: Yup.
(Y/N): [chuckles] You're adorable.
(A small smile appears on Robin's face as Steve looks off in the distance.)
Robin: What's the My Little Pony thesis?
Erica: Don't get him started.
(Y/N): Now I have to know.
Robin: Get him started? Just tell me--
Steve: Hey, guys?
(They walk up to Steve to see the lights at Starcourt Mall are flickering. Causing them to rush back over to the tower.)
Dustin: Griswold Family, this is Scoops Troop! Do you copy? Over! Griswold Family, I repeat, this Scoops Troop. Do you--
*CREATURE SHRIEKS ON THE RADIO*
Dustin: Griswold Family, do you copy? Do you copy?!
*ROARING*
Dustin: Griswold Family, this is Scoops Troop. Please confirm your safety! Griswold Family, this is Scoops Troop! Please confirm your safety! Are you en route to Bald Eagle's nest? Please confirm your safety! Someone, please just answer. Is anyone there? Just answer! Anyone, please...Griswold Family, do you copy? Griswold Family, do you copy? Griswold Family, do you copy? Do you copy?!
(Steve heads back to the car.)
Erica: Where are you going?!
Steve: To get them the hell outta there! Stay here, contact the others! Go, (Y/N)! You'll beat me there!
(Y/N): Going!
(He runs off towards the mall.)
Robin: Holy shit! Has (Y/N) always been that fast? Shit.
(She goes after Steve.)
Dustin: Wait, Robin!
(He tosses her a walkie-talkie.)
Dustin: Stay in touch.
Robin: Got it.
(Cut to Jonathan putting in a new spark plug in Nancy's car as Billy revs his car's engine.)
Jonathan: Shit.
Nancy: Get the car started. Go!
(Jonathan gets in the driver's seat as Nancy walks around the car, cocks her pistol, stands in front of the driver side door, & aims the pistol at Billy. Cut to Y/N running in the Starcourt Mall parking lot & stopping in front of Nancy.)
(Y/N): [panting] Hey, Wheeler.
Nancy: O'Connell. Some timing.
(Y/N): Tell me about it.
(He turns around to face Billy still revving his car's engine.)
(Y/N): I always seem to save you.
Nancy: Yes, you do. Can you stop a car head on?
(Y/N): Of course I can...I hope.
(Jonathan attempts to start the car but the engine sputters.)
Jonathan: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
(Billy puts his car in drive & floors it straight towards them.)
Lucas: We gotta go!
(Nancy shoots beside Y/N's head hitting the windshield of Billy's car until she's out of bullets.)
Lucas: We gotta go!
(Y/N): [growls] Come on!
(Imagine Y/N in front of Nancy, fully prepared to take the hit.)
Steve: [panting]
Nancy: [panting]
(Y/N): Hell yeah, Steve! Saving the day!
Steve: Are you okay?
Robin: Ask me tomorrow?
(The creature snarling gets their attention.)
Robin: [gasps] Oh, shit!
Creature: [roaring]
(Y/N stares at the creature as Nancy pulls next to the Toddfather.)
Nancy: Get in!
(Robin & Steve get in the car as Y/N takes a step towards the creature.)
Steve: What are you doing?!
(Y/N): Aren't I supposed to fight that thing?
Steve: Fight it later! Get in!
(Y/N finally gets in the car & Nancy drives away as the creature chases after them.)
Steve: [panting]
Robin: So, you're telling me, that you were going to fight that thing alone?
(Y/N): Yes...?
Robin: How?!
Steve: Would you just tell her?!
(Y/N): Later!
(Suzie's voice comes on the walkie.)
Suzie: Dusty-bun, you copy?
Dustin: I copy, Suzie-poo. It sounds much better now, thanks.
Steve, (Y/N), & Robin: Suzie.
(Imagine Y/N with Steve & Robin.)
(Y/N): Stop the car. I'll fight it now.
Robin: You'd rather fight that thing than listen to this?
(Y/N): Yes.
Robin: I...don't blame you.
(The creature stops chasing them & turns back.)
Steve: It's turning around.
Nancy: What?
Steve: It's turning around!
Lucas: Maybe we wore it out.
Jonathan: I don't think so. Hold on.
(He turns the car around to go after the creature. Cut to Billy laying Eleven in front of the creature. Before it can do anything to her, Jonathan's group throws fireworks at it.)
Lucas: Flay this, you ugly piece of shit!
(The creature wails as fireworks go around & on it.)
Steve: Hey, asshole! Over here! [grunts]
(Steve, Robin, & Y/N throw fireworks at the creature. They start running out of fireworks. Cut to Steve talking into the walkie.)
Steve: Dustin! We're out of time!
(Y/N): I can buy a little more!
(He stands up.)
(Y/N): Robin.
Robin: (Y/N)?
(Y/N): What do you think that thing tastes like?
Robin: What?
(Y/N): What's it taste like?
Robin: Shit.
(Y/N): Yeah, that's what I thought. There's something I have to tell you.
Robin: There's something I have to tell you.
(Y/N): Well, I'm gonna go first. The reason why I was at Scoops Ahoy so much wasn't because of Steve, it was because of you! I've...I've liked you for a while now. Seeing you everyday has been the highlight of my summer. And since I'm laying it all out on the table, I've liked you ever since I first saw you in Mrs. Click's class!
Robin: Really?!
Steve: I didn't know that.
Robin: (Y/N)--
(Y/N): Hold that thought. There's one more thing. It's...it's better if I show you...
(He starts running towards the railing, as he is, he starts turning into a werewolf. He presses a foot onto the railing & jumps towards the creature.)
Robin: I actually guessed it?! He really is a werewolf?! You all have known about this?
Steve: Oh, uh, yeah.
(Cut to Y/N, as a werewolf, on the creature, taking chunks out of it.)
Creature: [wails]
*RIPPING*
(Y/N's thoughts): Yup, tastes like shit.
(He raises a hand up &...)
*STAB*
(Stabs his claws into the creature.)
Creature: [screams]
(They run out of fireworks & the creature starts absorbing Y/N into itself.)
Werewolf: *while covered in muck* [wimpers]
(Billy stops the creature from getting Eleven but dies in the process. While in the base, Joyce finally closes the gate but with Hopper in the blast radius. With the gate being closed, the creature starts dying.)
(Imagine a werewolf being tossed over Steve & Robin.)
Werewolf: [grunts]
(Y/N rolls across the floor into a store.)
*GLASS SHATTERING*
(Robin, followed by Steve, are seen walking over broken glass, into the store they saw Y/N crash into.)
Steve: [yells] (Y/N)?
Robin: [yells] (Y/N)?
Steve: Where are you, buddy?
Robin: [yells] (Y/N)?!
(Y/N): [groans] Right here.
(They run over to where Y/N's voice was heard to Y/N wearing no shirt, with pants on, & sitting down. Robin walks up to him & Steve stops so the two can talk.)
Robin: *sits next to him*
(Y/N): Hey.
Robin: Hey.
(He notices a piece of glass in his shoulder so he slowly pulls it out.)
(Y/N): [winces]
Robin: Are you okay?
(Y/N): Yeah, I'll be fine.
Robin: So...did it taste like shit?
(Y/N): What?
Robin: The monster you were fighting.
(Y/N): Oh! [chuckles] It did.
Robin: [chuckles] I was right again.
(Y/N): You were. Listen, about what I said--
Robin: Is it true? That you've liked me since Mrs. Click's class?
(Y/N): It is.
Robin: Good. Because...I feel...I've felt the same way about you.
(Y/N's eyes light up to her saying that but light quickly fades.)
(Y/N): Do you still feel the same after finding out that I'm a--
Robin: Why would my feelings change after finding that out?
(Y/N): I don't know. I just thought...
Robin: Do I seem that shallow? Did I seem that shallow in Mrs. Click's class?
(Y/N): Of course not! It's just...I'm a big scary monster, you know? What girl would want to be with that?
Robin: (Y/N).
(Y/N): Huh?
Robin: There's nothing scary about you whatsoever.
(What she just said, relaxes him completely. Their heads slowly start getting closer to each other.)
(Y/N): Robin?
Robin: What...?
(Y/N): Can I smell you?
Robin: Excuse me?
(Y/N): Just real quick. A quick little wiff!
Robin: Okay? Warning you, I probably smell, like, really bad.
(Y/N): [sniffs]
(He smells the pheromones she's giving off. Them being, attraction pheromones for himself.)
Robin: Satisfied?
(Y/N): [in Irish accent] Pretty bird.
Robin: [giggles] But I'm not a canary.
(Y/N): I think it fits.
Robin: So do I.
(They kiss as the camera pans over to Steve.)
Steve: [chuckles] Nerds.
Three Months Later
(We see Steve parking his car in front of Family Video. Himself, along with Robin & Y/N exit the car. Robin looks at their resumes.)
Robin: You put your mom down as a reference?
Steve: Yeah. Why not? She's, like, super well-respected.
Robin: You're such a dingus. That reminds me, am I ever going to meet your mom, (Y/N)?
(Y/N): I honestly don't know.
Steve: Wha--
(Cut to them being interviewed by Keith.)
Robin: Uh, just be clear, we weren't fired, you know. The mall burned down and, like, killed a bunch of people.
Keith: Thanks for sharing. Didn't know. Three favorite movies. Go.
Robin: Uh...The Apartment, Hidden Fortress, Children of Paradise.
Keith: You, go.
(Y/N): Easy. Dirty Harry, Gone with the Wind, and 12 Angry Men.
Keith: Now you. Go.
Steve: Favorite movies?
Keith: Did I stutter?
Steve: Uh...Animal House, for sure.
Robin: [scoffs]
(Y/N): This is painful.
Keith: *snaps his fingers* Eyes on me, Harrignton.
Steve: Yeah. Uh...Star Wars.
Keith: A New Hope?
Steve: A new what-now?
Keith: Which Star Wars?
Steve: The one with the teddy bears. Duh. [squeals like an Ewok]
(Robin puts her head down.)
Steve: No? Uh...Oh, the one that just came out. The movie that just came out.
(Imagine Y/N putting his arm over her shoulders.)
(Y/N): It's okay.
Steve: The one with the Delorean and Alex P. Keaton, and he's trying to bang his mom. [chuckles] The time...Yeah, those are my top three. Classics.
(He points at Robin & Y/N.)
Keith: You two start Monday.
(He then points at Steve.)
Keith: You start never.
Robin: Will you just, um...Will you give us a minute?
Steve: Why?
Robin: Steve.
(Y/N): Bro.
(Steve leaves Robin & Y/N so they can talk to Keith.)
Robin: [scoffs] All right, you have to understand, Keith, I know his taste is a bit pedestrian, but the dingus has other qualities.
Keith: He's a douchebag of the highest order, Robin.
(Y/N): Hey, don't talk about my boy like that.
Keith: Want to join him?
(She slowly holds Y/N's hand.)
Robin: He was a bit of a prick to us in high school, I'll grant you that, but he remains...a total chick magnet.
(Y/N): Most. Definitely.
Keith: Yeah, okay, and this is relevant to me how?
Robin: Uh, Earth to Keith. The ladies will come in just to see him. They'll come in droves. Droves, Keith. We sold so much ice cream, they had to get a second shipment in from Michigan. Goddamn Michigan, Keith. And these ladies...[inhales sharply] These ladies are hot. They're so very hot. And there are too many of them for little Steve.
(Y/N): How do you think I got her?
(He kisses her cheek.)
Robin: [chuckles] Steve needed his assistance. Now he needs your assistance, Keith.
Keith: What's in it for you? You got a thing for him or something?
(Y/N): I'm gonna go check on Steve before I really get fired before my actual first day.
(He takes his off Robin & walks over to Steve.)
Robin: Did you not see (Y/N) kiss my cheek?
Keith: I did. What of it?
(Steve knocks over a cut out of Phoebe Cates from Fast Times.)
Steve: Goddamnit. This is--
(He picks up the cut out.)
Steve: Hm. [muffled] (Y/N).
(Y/N): Yeah, dude.
Robin: We're just, um...We're just friends.
Steve: Fast Times. Fast Times. Ever heard of it? Top three for me, Keith. (Y/N)'s just like Mark Ratner.
(Y/N): [chuckles] No, I'm—I got the girl in the end like he did...
Robin: [laughs]
Russia
(It turns out the Russians have a Demogorgan of their very own.)
