MichaelWell, I hope so, because dealing with frick and frack over there is one thing, but we can't bring adults into this and expect them to handle it. Adults are the enemy, Max. Remember that.
Michael, you say everyone is the enemy.
MichaelThey are.
MichaelI have something to say to you. If anything like that happens to me again, like when I got sick, don't help me. I can't get indebted to anyone, and I can't get entangled. I got to be a stone wall. And when I'm around you sometimes, I don't feel like a stone wall anymore.
Well, what do you feel like?
MichaelI don't know. Like confused.
Like human?
MichaelYeah, and I don't want to feel that way.
I know what you're scared of, Michael.
MichaelNo, you don't.
You keep telling me how lucky I am... to have a great home, great parents. But in one way, it's harder for me, because when I screw up, I have no excuses. But you, you can do and say anything you want because you have Hank, and you can blame it on that. But what happens without him? It'll all be on you, that's what.
MichaelWell, leave it up to me to still screw it up, huh?
I want you to know that what I said about you being all shut down and that's why I had to fake the flashes, that was... wrong and very unfair. If something went wrong, it was because of me. I'm the one who's scared. I mean, I fake all kinds of things all the time with everybody. It's just you were the first person I actually ever admitted it to.
MichaelWell... thanks for sayin' that, but it's not really true.
What do you mean?
MichaelIt's not true about you being shut down all the time. I happen to know that for a fact.
Really? How?
MichaelBecause you let me see you. The red sneakers, Maria. One had a Kermit patch on it, and the shoelaces were blue, and you had your dalmatian dog with you there, licking off your tears.
All right... romantic. When you're with her, act like she's like the only girl in the room.
MichaelShe's usually the only other person in the room.
It’s inside you. Your program.
MichaelHey, I didn’t get the manual, ok?
MichaelYou’re not who I thought you’d be.
Neither are you.
We'll be safe here for a while.
MichaelThere is no safe anymore.
MichaelIt's not safe.
It's never been safe. What difference does it make now?
MichaelNo, I'm not safe. All right, I mean, I can do these things that I can't control. Look at what I did to Pierce. I'm not going to take that chance with you. I don't want you to be around for what's going to happen.
Wait. Don't do this to me Michael, please. You need me now, more than you have before, alright?
MichaelNo, I don't need anyone.
Well, maybe I do. Did you ever think of that? I mean, look at Max and Liz. They can't bear to be separated. But you, you can just throw me away. Just like that. Why is that, Michael? Why?
MichaelMaybe because I love you too much.
MichaelI thought we agreed that it was over between us.
You agreed, and then you avoided me the entire summer.
MichaelWell, it is.
Why? 'Cause you're destined to be with Isabel?
MichaelNo. I don't buy that. Because I'm destined to be the soldier, and a soldier can't have some chick at home waiting for him.
Michael, half the movies ever made are about soldiers with chicks waiting at home for them.
MichaelWell, be that as it may...
I miss you, Michael.
MichaelI know, but don't.
MichaelAnd if he kills you?
Then you can be fearless leader.
They looked like human fetuses. There was 4 to a sac. 8 total. That night, I packed my things and never came back. The base was on full alert. There was no way anybody or anything else could have escaped...and that's the story of Hal Carver. The only time I ever stuck my neck out to save anything...and it all went to hell.
[Michael reaches out his hand and blows up the bottles from a distance]
MichaelYou saved me.
[He then turns to Hal who is having trouble lighting his cigarette. Michael creates a flame on his thumb. Hal and Michael hug]
Do you have any idea what you've done to Maria?
MichaelDude, it was a misunderstanding.
Look. I don't care that you've got 30 pounds on me or...or that you can kill me with some...some twisted alien power. I will not let you treat her like that. I...I don't care that Isabel treats me like crap, but no one does that to Maria, all right? She's not just some girl!
MichaelThat's the shirt I lost at work. What the hell is this?
It's Graceland...and you're Elvis.
Actually I think Maria would find it in her heart to forgive you for exceeding the price limit, though there would be hell to pay if you gave the girl you love an electric toothbrush for Christmas. You're better off getting her no gift at all.
MichaelNo. I tried the "no present" idea last year. It didn't work.
