Sometimes I feel like I’m… like I’m just some kind of black hole or something. A black hole? Yeah, it’s a… you know, it’s this thing in outer space. It’s like, it sucks everything towards it and destroys it. Sarah had a picture book about outer space. She loved it. Who’s Sarah?
“There’s actually a little Easter egg that’s in that scene that we came up with. The blue bracelet on Hopper’s right wrist is actually one of his daughter’s hair ribbons, which she wears in the flashback that he took after her hair fell out.

“Eleven, Doc Owens. Doc Owens, Eleven. She’s been staying with me for about a year, and she is about to save our asses. Maybe when this is all said and done, maybe you could help her out too, you know? Maybe you could help her lead a normal life, one where she’s not poked and prodded and treated like some kind of lab rat. I don’t know. It’s just a thought.”
