Did you have the E.T. read-along book and record? I did, and THAT is where you probably heard the line, because it was narrated by Drew Barrymore in character as Gertie. It was an unusual read-along because in this case one of the actual film actors was narrating the adaptation and it contained actual snippets of dialogue from the film being adapted. Typically these records were narrated and/or performed by sound-alike voice actors. Since there was a long period of time between E.T.’s theatrical premiere and the home video release, many kids would use these records to remember the movie before they could have the chance to own a video copy. Does this make sense? You can find the read-along uploaded on YouTube if you want to check for yourself.
