Chapter Two: Vecna's Curse

[a frightened Eddie pins Steve to the wall with a broken bottle to his throat]

Dustin Henderson: Eddie! Eddie! It's me. It's Dustin. This is Steve. He's not gonna hurt you, right, Steve?

Steve Harrington: Right. Yeah.

Dustin Henderson: Steve, why don't you drop the oar?

[Steve does so, but Eddie holds the broken bottle closer to Steve's throat]

Dustin Henderson: He's cool. He's cool.

Steve Harrington: [choked] I'm cool, man. I'm cool.

Eddie Munson: What are you doing here?

Dustin Henderson: We're looking for you.

Robin Buckley: We're here to help.

Dustin Henderson: Eddie, these are my friends. You know Robin, from band.

[She imitates playing the trumpet]

Dustin Henderson: This is my friend Max. The one who never wants to play D&D.

[Max gives Eddie a half-hearted wave]

Dustin Henderson: Eddie, we're on your side. I swear on my mother. Right, guys?

Max Mayfield: Yes. Yes, we swear.

Robin Buckley: On Dustin's mother.

Steve Harrington: Yeah, Dustin's... Dustin's mother.

[after a tense pause, Eddie finally releases Steve]
