MariaIt's not just kissing that goes on in the eraser room, Liz.
She's got that right.
MariaAll right, the eraser room does two things; cleans erasers and takes our innocence. Do you know what I mean by "takes our innocence," Liz? The eraser room has taken some of the best of us.
No... Max... he's so not possible. He's just like this whole different...
MariaLife form?
Type.
How intriguing. A dangerous man?
MariaSpacey man.
A mystery man.
Okay, you two... you're out of control.
MariaWhen 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.
Substitute a spaceship for a limo, and you know what i mean.
Oh, I have to go talk to Kyle.
MariaOh, the stalker. Good luck with that, Lizzy.
MariaRelax. God, you guys act like I've never tailed someone before. [drives in reverse]
Subtle. He'll never notice us going backwards.
MariaThis is the second time you've dragged me to some cheap motel.
Yeah, well, don't spread it around. You'll ruin my reputation.
I 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.
MariaWell, what do you feel like?
I don't know. Like confused.
MariaLike human?
Yeah, and I don't want to feel that way.
MariaI have never seen her like this.
So this was like the kiss of the millennium?
MariaAlex, if they actually do it, she'll probably explode.
Or maybe she'll explode if they don't do it.
MariaI'm worried for you.
Why?
MariaBecause this isn't you.
Yes, Maria, see... this is, this is me. I'm sitting right next to you.
MariaI just don't want you to go too far.
I think I want to.
MariaAre you crazy? This is dangerous. This isn't like a game! We don't even know what could happen!
Look who's talking! You were the first one to take the plunge, Maria!
MariaMichael and I just kissed. Okay, fine. We did a little more than kissing. But, look, I wasn't getting visions, and I didn't have glowing hickeys and rashes and... look, Liz, the bottom line is that we don't know what this is about, all right? Female spiders can, you know, bite off the males' heads after they mate. What if they need someone to mate with to get certain information, you know? And then... Blttt! You know?
What're you been trying to say? That Max is just gonna bite my head off?
MariaUh, no. What I'm saying is, how do you know that he's not like using you?
Maria, because it... it... it feels right. I'm sorry. It feels right in a way that nothing has felt right in my life before.
MariaI 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.
Well... thanks for sayin' that, but it's not really true.
MariaWhat do you mean?
It's not true about you being shut down all the time. I happen to know that for a fact.
MariaReally? How?
Because 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.
It's not safe.
MariaIt's never been safe. What difference does it make now?
No, 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.
MariaWait. Don't do this to me Michael, please. You need me now, more than you have before, alright?
No, I don't need anyone.
MariaWell, 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?
Maybe because I love you too much.
Mariawho is that? She looks familiar?
Vanessa Whitaker. She's our congresswoman.
MariaI gotta start reading the newspaper.
I thought we agreed that it was over between us.
MariaYou agreed, and then you avoided me the entire summer.
Well, it is.
MariaWhy? 'Cause you're destined to be with Isabel?
No. 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.
MariaMichael, half the movies ever made are about soldiers with chicks waiting at home for them.
Well, be that as it may...
MariaI miss you, Michael.
I know, but don't.
This isn't about Tess. It's about you and me. You think I'm gonna forget about you or get over it or something, but... but I'm not. I don't... I don't care about my destiny or my planet or anything else. All I care about is you. So just know this... I'm coming for you, Liz.
[Max walks back to the table.]
MariaNow that is a great man.
You know I can't believe you talked me into that. It was the most humiliating experience of my life. No one told me her parents were gonna be here. I did a striptease in front of her Mother. Are you listening to me?
MariaOne nipple does not constitute a striptease, Alex.
She saw my nipple?! OH GOD!
Chill out NYPD Blue
Chill out? I spent $150 to rent this costume. And do you have any idea how it feels to walk around all day with a thong up your ass?
& :Maria: YES!
