[ KEEP YOUR HEAD]
JANET ━ Hallie, you can't just sit in here in the dark, listening to classical music. HALLIE ━ I could if you hadn't turned on the lights and shut off my stereo, Mom.
HALLIE ━ I don't want kids. STANLEY ━ [chuckles] Oh, you'll change your mind. HALLIE ━ [grabs him by the collar] TELL ME MORE ABOUT THE FUTURE, WIZARD!
STANLEY ━ You see, I also know my fair share of classical music. I like Mozart, uh Bach, um... STANLEY ━ [squints at cue card Rachel is holding behind Hallie] STANLEY ━ ... Beef Oven.
HALLIE ━ I'm pretty sure I'm having a heart attack, and I haven't arranged for anyone to clear my browser history. I wasn't building a bomb! I was just curious!
[Hallie and Calvin texting] HALLIE ━ How does one turn their emotions off? CALVIN ━ Okay, so first go to settings– [realises mistake] Sorry, I thought you said emojis. HALLIE ━ No, go on, I'm still willing to try this. I'm in settings.
HALLIE ━ [holds out arms in karate pose] STOP! What do you think you're do– oh, you were just stretching... HALLIE ━ [lowers arms] I thought you were going to try and hug me. Don't SCARE me like that!
CALVIN ━ Hey guys, have you seen my shirt? Button-down, faded salmon colour? HALLIE ━ You mean your pink shirt? CALVIN ━ Faded salmon colour. HALLIE ━ No, I haven't seen your pink shirt.
HALLIE ━ I remember that story, Sydney. Stan and I read it on your diary. SYDNEY ━ Wha– you read my diary?! HALLIE ━ Hey, I just showed him where it was. He was the one who picked the lock with my bobby pin.
HALLIE ━ Okay, let's stop using the term butthurt. We aren't twelve anymore. ERIC ━ You sound fannytroubled. AL ━ A little bootybothered, if you ask me. MELANIE ━ Someone's having a tushytantrum. HALLIE ━ ... What the hell is a tushytantrum?
LIAM ━ How do you cope with your trauma? HALLIE ━ The trick is to play music louder than your thoughts.
STANLEY ━ [sighs] Why is Hallie so afraid of love? SYDNEY ━ What makes you think she's afraid of love? [Flashback to earlier that day] STANLEY ━ [yelling at Hallie] LOVE! HALLIE ━ [screams]
HALLIE ━ [wakes up after surgery] Where's Stan? SYDNEY ━ ... Who do you think gave you the heart? HALLIE ━ WHAT— SYDNEY ━ Just kidding, he's in the bathroom.
HALLIE ━ We wouldn't last two minutes without Stan... [pauses] Don't tell him I said that.
[ at last, some ianowt content! i know i haven't properly updated keep your head in months, and i promise i'll get round to it soon because i have much more time now. i'm just in a very deep stranger things phase right now because of season 4, but the good news is that sadie's performance has given me some inspiration and made me miss hallie, so she's my next priority once i stop indulging in stranger things writing! ]
[ also max in season 4 was radiating such strong hallie vibes with her headphones and how music was guiding her, and plus the moodiness too. it makes me so happy because shots like the gif i used at the top of this chapter made my heart go "hallie? is that you?" ]
[ anyway, some of these incorrect quotes have no plot relevance whatsoever, while some are low-key hidden spoilers for keep your head, so have fun guessing that 🤪 hence why you may have noticed some new names in the mix, like rachel, eric, etc. ]
