Michael Guerin quotes from Roswell

Michael

Roswell's not our home. It's not even our solar system.

Michael

Yeah, you know what, I do. I'm here trying to figure out the meaning of my existence, and I'm tired of having to wade through the kooks like you and the freak shows like this in order to do it.

Michael

Look, Laurie, I know a lot of people think you're pretty crazy. But the truth is, knowing everything you've been through, you seem pretty normal to me. I just want you to know that whatever you are to me-- a sister, a cousin, whatever-- you're the only family I've ever known, and I just found you. I don't... I don't want to let you go. I know you're scared to death of me, but... if you could find some way to trust me... I mean, I got all kinds of faults. And this one over here, you know (gestures to Maria) she can list them off for you if you want later on, but... the one thing I am is loyal. I will not turn my back on you. That's all I got to say. I don't know.

Michael

Nightmares, Maxwell. I can't shake them. I've had them every night for two weeks. I mean my brain needs a vacation, or I swear to God I'm going to lose it on someone or something, and it's not gonna to be pretty.

Michael

Max... I can't go. Ever since we came out of the pods, I've been on some quest to figure out where I belong. I finally found home. The weird thing is, it's here, it's on earth.

Michael

Yeah, you left the loving parents, the cushy home, college fund. Smart move.

Michael

We've got bad news, Maxwell. Jesse Ramirez is... Ta-da! Human. Yeah, nice red blood cells. Not a green one in the bunch.

Michael

Hey, no, sit down. None of us know what happened in that life. All we know for certain is who are in this life. And in this life, you're Isabel, and Isabel isn't the kind of person who's gonna betray her husband.

Michael

I'm not gonna starve because I have a weird girlfriend.

Michael

I didn't just wander in. I had a cover story.

Max

And what was your cover story.

Michael

I was selling candy for charity. Peanut cluster?

Max

And they bought it?

Michael

No, they all seemed to be on a diet.

Isabel

Not the candy, Einstein, the story.

Isabel

The way to deal with [Maria] DeLuca is to make her sweat, keep her on her toes. Make her afraid of my shadow, your shadow, her shadow, Michael's shadow. Right, Michael?

Michael

Or we could just kill her. [pause] Kidding.

Michael

[after Max busts open a bathroom stall] Gandhi feeling frustrated?

Michael

Let me guess. You're in love with a girl and she's with another guy?

Max

You realize you can be really annoying, right?

Max

You said you'd be nicer to her.

Michael

And you said you'd stay away from her. Let's call it even.

Maria

When I was a kid, I used to stay up at night and, um, make up stories about my father... you know, and who he was and... what he was doing. And they all ended exactly the same way. He would come in a limo and pick me and my mom up and take us off to some exotic place where we'd live like royalty. Because, you know... I thought to myself, there's got to be something better out there for me than Roswell, New Mexico.

Michael

Substitute a spaceship for a limo, and you know what i mean.

Maria

This is the second time you've dragged me to some cheap motel.

Michael

Yeah, well, don't spread it around. You'll ruin my reputation.
