Max Evans quotes from Roswell

Max

You tried to get Tess and me together?

Liz

Look, I know that you must hate me right now. I, um...

Max

I felt that... and I know you did, too, and I know you think that... that I need to let you go... for the sake of Michael, and Isabel, and my race... so you went to Tess. But she can't be you. Tess can never be you.

Liz

Do you know how hard it was for me to tell him that I didn't want to die for him? He's the only reason that I'm alive right now. You...you've...you gotta come up with another plan. Please go to someone else. I...I just...I can't do this anymore.

Just 25 minutes before I came here, I held Michael in my arms...dead. Isabel died 2 weeks before that. Now you have to do this. You have to find a way. All of our lives depend on it.

Liz

How? What can I do that's gonna make you turn away from me?

I don't know.

Max

I can't help it. I love her. What can I say?

Maria

You're hopeless.

I've fought a thousand battles...but watching you do that was the hardest thing I've ever had to do.

Liz

The look on his face...on your face.

Maybe it's for the best. For you, too.

Liz

What are you talking about?

I saw you with Kyle. He's turning out to be a...a great guy. Maybe it would be better for you to be with a human.

Liz

Don't you realize what you are to me...and you're always gonna be? You're the love of my life. Everyone else is gonna be second best. There'll never be another you.

Michael

Hey, we're here for a reason, Max. So call me a selfish jerk, but I don't think we should risk everything just so you can feel a little bit better about yourself at Christmas. It's 3 against 1. I'm voted down anyway.

Max

Michael.

Michael

You made your decision before you walked through that door. I know you did. I could hear it in your voice, so why don't you just go do what you're gonna do... and make sure you don't screw up.

Liz

I thought you didn't believe in God.

Max

I believe in you. [grabs Liz's hand and squeezes it tightly.]

Max

Everyone we touch gets hurt in some way or another. 5 years from now, I don't want you to open your eyes and realize that...that you missed out. You're part of the group. You always will be. But you need to be allowed to...to grow.

Liz

Why can't you come with me?

Max

Because I can't. But I'll be watching you, Liz Parker. Wherever you go...and I'll be here when you get back.

Michael

Hey! I've been going through some heavy stuff the last couple of weeks. In case you missed it, I got shot.

Max

I know, I healed you.

Michael

You put your hand over my shoulder and you did your little trick like a robot. You're a machine, Max. You wouldn't know the first thing about what it takes to heal me. To really heal me.

Max

You can't compare The Matrix to Crouching Tiger.

Michael

Crapping Tiger is a chick flick with kung-fu.

Tess

You're scared to go home.

Max

What is home? Is home really up there? I just feel like this whole idea about where we come from, and I want to believe it. I want to understand it more and more, but it just feels like this dream... this, this dream that I can never really quite touch or see or...feel. And earth just seems so much more... real.

Max

Michael. The idea that Alex might have died just because we're here... I can't bear it. All those times you would run off chasing some clue to find out where we come from. Why we're here. Where we belong. I always thought you were chasing something that wasn't out there, because in my heart, I believed that we belonged here, you know? That we were human. Lately, I've been thinking that you might have been right all along.

Michael

Lately, I've been thinking I might have been wrong all along.

Max

I always thought when we graduated I would give you my ring. [handing her the pendant they found at Atherton's] It looks like I won't graduate, so this is something from where I'll be.

Liz

I can't believe that this is what I have of you. I can't believe that after everything...

Max

Liz, you never slept with Kyle, did you?

Max

I wish, I wish this all could have been different. I wish that so much. [kisses her]

Liz

I guess that this is our goodbye. Just tell me one thing: do you love her?

Max

Not like I love you.

Isabel

What if I said I wanted to stay?

Max

When we came out of the pods and we lost Michael, it was just the two of us in the desert and I knew that I wasn't alone, that I had my sister. To me, earth isn't home and whatever's out there isn't home, but you're my home.

Max

Rules? She has rules?

Liz

Well, yeah. Yeah, since I told her that you broke my heart, without any of the alien details, of course. She thinks that we should just take things slow. Just dinner, then straight home, no plans for future dates. No making out.

Max

So I suppose skinny-dipping would be against the rules, too.

Liz

I want to do this with you, Max. Together.

Max

Why?

Liz

Because if I had lost a child, I would want you to help me find him. But that's only part of the reason. The other part is that I don't want you to slip away from me. I know what it's like to be with you, and I know what it's like to be apart from you. And I would rather be with you.
