Michael and Maria in “Destiny”

It's not safe.

It'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.

Wait. Don't do this to me Michael, please. You need me now, more than you have before, alright?

No, I don't need anyone.

Well, 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.
