Max Evans quotes from Roswell

Max

We're always being so cautious, you know? Always watching behind our backs, never getting too involved. But we're never moving forward either. We're just kinda stuck, Isabel. I'm not sure I want to be stuck any more.

Max

Someone should tell the sheriff that deadbolts don't work as well when you leave your door open.

Max

Liz, I think that what I'm afraid of isn't that we try this and it works out really badly. What I'm afraid of is we try it and it works out really well. I'm afraid of feeling everything that I know I would feel. Because I know it's not meant to be. And somewhere down the line, we're gonna get hurt. I can live with that. I just couldn't bear to hurt you.

Max

What did you tell him? Why did he come after me? You're the Sheriff. You're supposed to protect me. But all you've done is go after me! You believe all these crazy things. You're just like Hubble. You want me? Well, here I am! Take me.

Max

He can't make up for in one night what he's never had in a lifetime.

Max

Liz, about what Michael said before, about Tess, I just...I want you to know that I don't feel anything for her. I look at you, and I know you're the person I'm supposed to be with. I've always known it. What happened here that day, when you got shot, and how that brought us together...it's fate. Look at me. You're the one, Liz...the only one. I could never be with anyone else.

Max

[to Liz] I've been really wrong about a lot. But I was right about one thing: To get you into my life, to be around you, to love you.

Max

We're part human. We're supposed to have feelings. You keep them bottled up like this. They're gonna get out somehow.

Max

I will not stand here and be lectured by a descendant of an Ape!

Max

I'm a member of that group of... outsiders. I always knew I was different and for a long, long time, all I wanted was to be another face in the crowd... but in the end, it wasn't possible. I guess it never was. So from now on, I'll just concentrate on being who I really am. Some of you might not like that. Some of you might even... find that frightening. But that's not my problem any more. I have to be who I really am and let fate take care of the rest. So... thank you, Roswell... Thank you for... for letting me live among you. Thank you for giving me a family. Thank you for giving me a home.

Liz

So, help me out here, Max. I mean, what are you?

Max

Well, I'm not from around here.

Liz

You're not an ... an alien ... are you?

Max

Well, I prefer the term "not-of-this-earth." Sorry, it's not a good time to joke.

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.

Liz

Sometimes I just wish I could be invisible.

Max

Sometimes I wish I didn't have to be so invisible.

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?

Liz

Is there anything you can do for my grandmother? You know, "do"?

Max

Liz, when I saved you, it was because you were shot. There was a bullet in you. Something was happening to you that wasn't supposed to happen. It was before your time. But I can't just heal people. I'm not... God.

Liz

I know.
