Liz Parker quotes from Roswell

Liz

Max, the day that you saved my life, your life just ended.

Max

No, that was the day my life began. Liz, when I was in that room, and they did what they did to me. You're what kept me alive. The thought of you. The way your eyes look into mine. Your smile. The touch of your skin. Your lips. Knowing you has made me human. Whether I die tomorrow or fifty years from now, my destiny is the same: it's you. I want to be with you, Liz. I love you.

Liz

Max, you do have a destiny. You just heard it. I can't stand in the way of it.

Max

But you mean everything to me.

Liz

Goodbye, Max.

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.

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.

Tess

so you & Kyle?

Liz

yeah. Oh, Kyle told me you two were getting involved.

Tess

its ok, don't worry about it.

Liz

I'm sorry.

Tess

About what? All you did was sleep with him. How was he anyway?

Liz

oh.. I.. Um.. We... It was great.

Tess

Noted.

Liz

I thought you didn't believe in God.

Max

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

Maria

Okay, okay, you’re a Max-aholic. I’m here for you. What can I do?

Liz

Get me a life.

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.

Liz

That was weird.

Michael

What was?

Liz

Maria just hung up on me.

Michael

Happens to me all the time.

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.

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.

Liz

How am i supposed to help you find your child if i can't even be with you?

Max

You are with me... All the time. All the time.

Max

I failed. And my son... He's up there somewhere. I've just messed everything up. Langley's life. Yours. I'm so sorry, liz. I'm so sorry.

Liz

It's ok. It's ok.

Max

I'll never leave you, liz.
