Quotes
-
[Liz walks back towards her locker to go look in a mirror and sees Max walks into the locker room]
Liz : Max!
Max : Liz.
Liz : What are you doing here?
Max : I just... I wanted to see you.
Liz : Here?
Max : I had to know if something was real.
Liz : If what was real?
Max : Well, just like you seeing things... I've seen things. And... one of those... things...
[Max slowly looks around the room and there's a slight air of familiarity as in focuses on a shower head]
Liz : You saw my fantasy?
Max : I had to know if... if... what I saw was... really from you or if it was just my imagination, which... it definitely... definitely could've been. Except... I've never been in the girls' locker room. And now that I see it, and... well, it... it is the same room... I know I didn't make it up.
Liz : This is really horrible.
Max : No, Liz. It's incredible, really.
Liz : This is not incredible.
Max : Wait. Please? Listen. Please? The main thing is... I didn't just see what you saw. I felt... what you felt... when you saw me. And I never thought anyone could really... ever feel that way about me.
Liz : Really?
-
Max : Uh, listen Liz is on her way over.
Isabel : [Looking to Michael] Okay we'll leave.
Max : You guy's don't have to leave.
Michael : Go, poor Maxwell. For the good of all mankind.
Max : Michael, that's not what this is about for me.
Michael : Don't make me beg you to do what you and Liz obviously wanna do any ways. I really don't see a problem with it.
Max : The problem is treating someone I care about as a thing. To be used.
Michael : What and that's what I'm about. That's what your saying?
Max : The words are coming from your mouth Michael.
Isabel : Ok, guys stop. Enough.
Michael : Listen Maxwell, you are a sensitive guy, and you have available to you, one of the top pre-seduction lines in history with "it's gonna help me find my home planet", and you're refusing to use it? No guy's that sensitive. Use it.

Liz : Max... everything that we did, everything we felt... was it... was it all just about this... this thing? You know, we don't even know what it is.
Max : Yet.
Liz : Max, was it ever just about us? You and me? Because a person could feel like they just served their purpose. You know, like being used.
Max : Is that what you think? Because you're not the only one who could worry about being used. I mean, some girls would give a lot to see themselves fly through outer space. You know, I'm sure it doesn't compare to other things you could be doing, like watching Kyle barf after a beer blast.
Liz : I can't believe you just said that.
Max : Why not?
Liz : Because it really happened.
Max : You're kidding me.
Liz : No. I swear. Last summer. It was a really hot night...
Max : You know what? No, no... don't tell me.
Liz : Ok, so what you're saying is that you saved me from a life of watching Kyle barf.
Max : Liz Parker... I don't think that was ever gonna be your destiny.
Liz : No?
Max : No.
Liz : Ok. Fine. If you know so much, then tell me, Max... what's my destiny?
Max : I only know the part I'm hoping for.
-
Liz : What are you doin' here, Max?
Max : Well, I have orders from my planet to take over the Earth.
Liz : Besides that.
Max : I want to make sure we can still be friends.
Liz : Yeah. I mean, we are.
Max : Good.
Liz : Why wouldn't we be?
Max : We really haven't been able to talk since... that night.
Liz : Max, people do a lot of dumb things when they're drunk. Anyway, I understand.
Max : And we're friends?
Liz : Yeah. We're friends.
Max : Just friends?
Liz : Yeah.
[Liz turns around and starts to leave and Max grabs her and they start making out. As Liz becomes overwhelmed with emotion, she sees images of something flying through space]

[At school, Alex and Maria are walking down a hallway]
Maria DeLuca : I have never seen her like this.
Alex Whitman : So this was like the kiss of the millennium?
Maria DeLuca : Alex, if they actually do it, she'll probably explode.
Alex Whitman : Or maybe she'll explode if they don't do it.
[Max and Michael are also walking through a hallway at school]
Max : Did anything like that ever happen to Maria when you two...
Michael : No. Maxwell, let me assure you, you have not experienced anything I have not experienced many times or caused to be experienced.
Max : Then how can you call yourself my friend?
Michael : What?
Max : A friend wouldn't have kept something like that to himself.

[Max is at Michael's apartment talking to Michael and Isabel about what happened with Liz. Isabel is putting away some groceries]
Max : She said it was as if she was inside the ship looking out... when it came crashing toward Earth.
Michael : Did she see anyone else on the ship? Like our parents?
Isabel : Yeah, or Captain Kirk and the Klingons? You got a paper-towel holder?
Michael : No. What if it's real?
Isabel : It's not real. What's wrong with you guys?
[Isabel opens the refrigerator and takes a step back from the smell]
Isabel : Oh, God! Not even baking soda's gonna help with that.
Michael : You know what, Isabel? If you don't like my new place, you can leave. Continue.
Max : I see things from inside her head. Maybe she's seeing things stored deep inside me.
Michael : What do you see inside her head?
Max : I can't tell you. It's private.
Michael : Since when do we keep secrets from each other? Maxwell, come on.
Isabel : Do you have a juicer?
Michael : Isabel, you're pushing it.
Max : They're Liz's personal thoughts, Michael... not secrets.
Michael : Ok, yeah, so they're personal thoughts. How do you know they're real?
Max : I'm not sure.
Michael : Can't you just ask her?
Max : I don't want to embarrass her.
Michael : Maxwell, if this is real... if there's any chance this is real, you owe it to us and to yourself to find out. And in the meantime, I'm gonna pursue my own avenues.
