| MAX: And if you hadn't taken it out of the apartment in the first place… MICHAEL: Oh, yeah, it's always my fault. LIZ: Max. Where'd you go? Did you have another flash? MAX: Yeah. No. ISABEL: You should hear him talk about her. "Oh Liz is my soul mate. I never felt like this before." It's enough to make you want to gag. TEACHER: Since you're obviously so eager, Mr. Evans, I'd like you to come up and be Miss Harding's lab partner. TESS: Max, you're on fire. Oh, Max. You're on fire. MARIA: Really, I did not like the way she was looking at him. MAX: I'm having these daydreams about her. MICHAEL: Daydreams? MAX: Yeah, where we're together. You know, together. MICHAEL: I guess you're only human after all, huh? MARIA: What if Czechoslovakians can't resist temptation? LIZ: Ok, so what you're saying is that this not only a romantic problem now, it's, you know, intergalactic. MAX: It's me. I'm the problem. Something's happening to me. MAX: It's out of my control. MAX: Michael, I'm telling you, there's something weird about this. It's like she knows something about me she shouldn't know. MARGOLIN: I'm sorry, Sheriff, but I'm afraid Kathleen Topolsky was one of the victims of the fire. SHERIFF: And you need to trust me, 'cause somebody's out there right now. And anywhere you turn, he could be watching you. MICHAEL: What the hell are you doing here? MARIA: I saw you sneaking in. What are you doing here? MICHAEL: Nothing. MARIA: So either give it to me straight, or you're not going to be giving it to me at all. MICHAEL: Fine, I'm checking out the new girl. MARIA: Tess. Why? MICHAEL: That's classified. MAX: (to Liz.) Could we just stop talking about Tess? MICHAEL: Yeah, that's probably a good idea. MICHAEL: Two men with briefcases and suits, and one with an M-16. They don't work at the cheese factory. MAX: I didn't know if it was true. I didn't want anyone to panic and do something stupid. MICHAEL: Hey, I'm trying to figure out which problem to panic over. MICHAEL: You're just making new friends all over the place, aren't you, Max? MAX: I don't feel anything for her. I look at you, and I know you're the person I'm supposed to be with. MAX: You're the one Liz. The only one. I could never be with anyone else. MAX: I'm in trouble, Michael. I don't know what's happening to me. MICHAEL: I'm not in the mood right now, Maxwell. MAX: I kissed Tess. MICHAEL: You what? MAX: It was like… it was like something was controlling me. MICHAEL: What's wrong with you? MAX: I'm telling you that it isn't me. MICHAEL: No, the thing I can't understand right now is that I used to admire you. You were solid, someone I could trust. Even more that I could trust myself. And Liz trusted you. I don't know who you are anymore, Maxwell. LIZ: How could you kiss her? MAX: I don't know. MAX: Liz, something is going on with her. I'm telling you, something isn't right about her. LIZ: Not right about her, Max! What are you talking about? LIZ: You had a flash when you kissed her, Max? Like when you kissed me? I guess I'm not so special after all, huh? MARIA: I just knew something was up with that chick. LIZ: Everything I see with my eyes tells me that he's cheating on me. But everything I felt with my heart tells me that he's not. MARIA: Ooo, I'm not as flat as I thought I was! MICHAEL: It's a wide-angle lens, so… MICHAEL: Well, if you're so smart, why don't you think of something better? ISABEL: What are they doing in there? ALEX: Passing the mashed potatoes. HARDING: So, do you believe in aliens? LIZ: It's just a theme. LIZ: You know that box? It is full of pictures. Pictures of Max. LIZ: You know what? You still kissed her, Max. I don't know if there'll ever be reason enough to explain that. |
