About this deal
Very near the beginning of the film as the camera shows some of the specimens E.T.'s people have collected in their ship, one of them looks something like a big tree with a man's face on it. As the camera pans past him, if you're watching closely (you may have to use the CAV Laserdisc frame by frame function or run it a couple of times to catch this), you can see his lips move as he lets out an audible sigh!

He doesn't even trust his mother. And the government is indeed looking for him, but we never do find out what they had in mind because he's terminally ill when they find him and curing his condition becomes priority #1.

Big "NO!"/ Please, Don't Leave Me: Michael when he finds ET in the woods and near death, then when he wakes up and sees the flower that E.T. has revived begin to die again, he shouts out a Big "NO!", which is cued up in synch to Elliott's scream of "E.T., DON'T GOOOO!!!", right before E.T. flatlines. Humans Are Morons: Averted. Not only do humans heal him and help send him home, but there are many moments in which E.T. seems less intelligent than humans, despite coming from a more advanced race; such as when he becomes fascinated with a can of pencils, only to run screaming when they tip over.Full Moon Silhouette: The Trope Codifier in the scene where ET makes Elliott's bike fly.
