Tess Harding quotes from Roswell

Kyle

Hey! This is my room & that's my jersey!

Kyle

No. Alright. Wear it.

Tess

kinda uptight about nudity for a guy who reads jugs.

Kyle

gimme that!

Tess

oh the post-its? Nice touch.

Kyle

Ok, listen. I don't know how they do things on Planet Vulcan, or whatever. But here on Earth we have this primitive human concept called, privacy.

Tess

Keep talking to me like that & I'll slag you with my death ray eyes.

Kyle

*stares*

Tess

Kidding. You Buddhists have like no sense of humor.

Kyle

How do you know about that?

Tess

Buddhism for Beginners is also under your bed. How do you think the Buddha would feel about being sandwiched between Hustler & Busty Biker Babes?

Kyle

Look, you can't tell anyone about that.

Tess

why?

Kyle

because I have a certain reputation.

Tess

which the less said the better?

Kyle

I'm serious

Tess

Kyle Valenti, Buddhist.

Kyle

look, I got into it over the summer

Tess

Oh! Football camp! Guys are crazy about-

Kyle

Listen! This... this whole aliens-are-among-us thing... it really screwed me up... made me question stuff... life, reality, my place in this universe... and you don't understand. You... you guys... you people turned my life upside down. I need a little clarity. I need a little peace of mind.

Tess

No, I don't understand. I'm a girl from another planet. No family, no friends. Only 3 other people like me in the world. And the man I grew up with...the man who raised me...he was just murdered. You're right, Kyle. What would I know about needing peace of mind?

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.

Kyle

Look we're getting off the point. I really need some help.

Tess

what do you want from me? I don't know what's gonna happen to you. Maybe nothing will. Or maybe you could develop super powers & start flying around Roswell in a big cape. *laughs* I don't know!

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.
