Quotes-285 South

MILTON: What do you want, you two-bit punk? MICHAEL: It was all just one big mistake. MARIA: Wait, did you just say Guerin? TEACHER: Yes, Michael Guerin. MARIA: No, no, I'm sorry. That's unacceptable. MARIA: I mean, this is like cruel and unusual education. I mean, aren't there, like, Geneva convention rules against this sort of thing? TOPOLSKY: So, did you pair up the students the way I suggested? TEACHER: Oh, yes, yes. It should prove quite interesting. TOPOLSKY: Sometimes you end up with the most revealing details, just by putting the right people together.  MAX: Don't do me any more favors. ISABEL: Can we get back to the part where you got arrested, please? ISABEL: Have you completely lost it? MICHAEL: No, Isabel. I've found it. And you guys are too scared to admit it. MICHAEL: Max, I'm connected to this thing, all right? I mean, I see it when I close my eyes. I dream about it when I go to sleep. It's not letting me wait. MAX: He won't get far without a car. MARIA: Hey, wait. Uh, what's your favorite ice cream flavor? We have to do this completely queer history project for tomorrow. MICHAEL: You driving somewhere? MARIA: Yeah, to the lift-off gas station to drop off a box for my mom. MICHAEL: The one near the highway? MARIA: Yeah. So? ISABEL: Why don't you just bring them some ketchup or something? LIZ: Just bringing you guys ketchup. So, how's it going? MAX: Great. KYLE: Yeah, we're really getting to know each other. KYLE: I'm glad you came over, too, 'cause I was hoping that we could skip on down to question number 8. Have you ever been in love? Hmm? How about it, Evans? MARIA: You can't just make up answers. MICHAEL: Who said I'm making 'em up? MARIA: You do not watch "The View". MARIA: You're stealing my car. MICHAEL: I'm borrowing your car. Now get out. MARIA: You're kidnapping me. No, wait, you're abducting me! MAX: What is it? ISABEL: He found a car. MAX: Maria? ISABEL: It would be her car with her in it. Going south on 285. ISABEL: The perfect Liz Parker lying to her mother? LIZ: Yeah, well, at least she knows what species I am. MARIA: You are going to be arrested. MICHAEL: For driving to Texas? MARIA: Across a state line with a minor? In a stolen vehicle? There are laws, you know. And that... that cell phone you just tossed? Vandalism of personal property. MARIA: I told you not to go over eighty. The engine won't take it. MICHAEL: Maybe it's just tired of hearing you talk. MARIA: What do you mean, this could be the most important day of your life? MICHAEL: Forget it. MARIA: You have twenty seconds to convince me. KYLE: Max and Isabel leave in some big hurry and they take Liz with them. Like, right in the middle of our conversation. They just drove off. They're not home. They lied to their parents. It's just weird, you know? LIZ: No wonder you always look so perfect. ISABEL: You think so? LIZ: Please...you're like the Elle McPherson of the sophomore class. ISABEL: Well, I guess that answers question number 12: "Who do you envy?" LIZ: Isabel...I'm...I'm not trying to take him away from you. I mean...I could never even do that. LIZ: But what if you guys found something in Marathon? Would you take him away from me? MARIA: Do something. Go! MICHAEL: Don't tempt me. MARIA: Come on. Wiggle your nose, blink your eyes, do the Samantha-Jeannie-alien thing. Come on. MICHAEL: Now that I'm humiliated, and the battery's fried, I'm gonna take the back seat. MICHAEL: Well, that's nice. MARIA: What? What? My mother makes them. What? KYLE: So, listen, I just talked to your mom. She said that you were over at Maria's. LIZ: Um, yeah, that's exactly where I am. KYLE: Was that a truck? LIZ: Um, uh, no, no. That...that was just, um, the television. MARIA: It's like the porno version of Aladdin. MARIA: No. I think I've been a pretty good sport up until now, but I am cold, and I am hungry, and I am in some nookie motel with a guy I... I barely even know, and I... and I just... I really want to go home right now. MARIA: What other human urges do you feel? MICHAEL: "What incensed him the most was the blatant jokes of the ones who pass it all off as a jest, pretending to understand everything and in reality not knowing their own minds." Page 655... MARIA: Why is it so important to you to find out where you come from? MICHAEL: Because there's gotta be something better out there for me than Roswell, New Mexico. MARIA: When 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. MICHAEL: Substitute a spaceship for a limo, and you know what I mean. MICHAEL: I don't suppose we could share? MARIA: Not if you were the last alien on Earth. MAX: We're not all the same, you know. LIZ: Yeah, I've known that for a really long time. LIZ: I'm sorry, too, Max. You know, for Kyle and...how my stupid, boring life could possibly get you guys into trouble. MAX: It feels like...my life didn't even start until I told you the truth that day. LIZ: Yeah. I know what you mean. LIZ: Max... MAX: Yeah? LIZ: Um...I know that we agreed, you know, not... not to feel a certain way about each other. MAX: Yeah. LIZ: Do you still think that's a good idea? MARIA: What are you guys doing here? LIZ: Um... well, we thought you were in trouble, but... yeah... I guess we're wrong. MARIA: No no. You don't think... I mean, that is, like so unreal! I mean... Come on, would you tell them? MICHAEL: Come on, honey, we don't have to lie. ISABEL: I believe you. The day Michael calls anybody honey, it's all over. KYLE: Or are you afraid that I'll find out what your little secret is? Are you afraid that I might find out what the hell you guys are doing out here? In the middle of nowhere, in the middle of the night? LIZ: You know, or how are we supposed to help you? MICHAEL: We don't need any help! MARIA: Right. Next time, steal someone else's car and try getting away with it. MAX: We've come this far. Maybe it unlocks something inside. LIZ: Somebody was definitely looking for something here. MAX: Whoever it was, they probably found it a long time ago. MICHAEL: There's something here. A room. MAX: Where? MICHAEL: I don't know. It's hidden. MICHAEL: Jackpot, Maximilian.
