QUESTION 3.2: CONTEXTUAL QUESTION
Answer the questions set on the following extract(s). 

INT: HOUSE: DAY

Elliott walks up the stairs to his room. Mary's voice can be heard from
below saying she refuses to pay for frogs.

Elliott is walking towards his room when he hears Gertie talking to E.T. in
her room. He drops his bags on the floor, and quickly enters her room.

"Be good, be good," says Gertie as she closes the doors to her closet.
Elliott pushes Gertie away from the closet and opens it. Inside is E.T.
dressed up in girl clothes with a blonde wig on his head. He has a rabbit
fur around his neck and wears a black hat with flowers.

"Oh God!" says Elliott. 
"Elliott," says E.T. 
"What?" says Elliott, not yet realizing that it was E.T. who spoke. 
"Elliott, Elliott," repeats E.T. 
"I taught him how to talk. He can talk now," says Gertie.

Gertie points out the things that E.T. has brought upstairs: electrical
toys and the plant. She wonders what he needs this for. E.T. holds the cartoon page of the newspaper out to Elliott. 
"E.T., can you say that? Can you say E.T.?" asks Elliott. 
"E.T.," repeats E.T. Elliott laughs with joy.
E.T keeps repeating his name as he turns and walks through the closet into
Elliott's room.

"E.T., be good," says E.T. 
"Be good," I taught him that too," says Gertie.

"You should give him his dignity. This is the most ridiculous thing I've
ever seen," says Elliott.

E.T. hands Elliott the newspaper, and points to the Buck Rodgers comic
strip. He then says "PHONE". Elliott is amazed at this. E.T. walks into the
closet and says "HOME." Elliott confirms that this is E.T.'s home. E.T.
then turns, walks to the window, points to the sky, and says "E.T. HOME
PHONE."

"E.T. PHONE HOME" says Gertie. 
"E.T. PHONE HOME" says Elliott.
"He wants to call somebody," says Gertie.
Mike walks into the room and laughs at E.T.'s attire.
"E.T. Phone Home," says E.T.
"Oh my God, he's talking now," says Mike.

E.T. once again points out the window and repeats that he wants to call home.
"And they'll come?, says Elliott.
