MARIA: God, this day sucks. MARIA: Well, if it isn't Prince Charming and Quasimodo. MARIA: What are you doing? LIZ: Max likes cherry cola. What does Michael like? MARIA: Cherry cola with arsenic? MICHAEL: We kind of broke up. MAX: What? Why didn't you tell me? MICHAEL: Look, I don't...I'm not sure if we did or didn't. I mean, it's confusing. MICHAEL: What's this? MAX: Put that away. MICHAEL: No, I know this. This is from... MAX: Not here, Michael. MARIA: Alex, where have you been? We've been looking for you the last couple of days. ALEX: Oh, well, I've been feeling, you know, a little rocky about...things. ALEX: I've got two theories. One is that...uh, you and Liz have been brainwashed by a drug cult. MARIA: Yes... ? ALEX: And the other is...I'm trapped inside some extremely long, extremely weird nightmare. ALEX: What actually makes you believe in any of this? MAX: Because you would jump to some wild conclusion and go off and do something crazy without even telling us. I didn't think that was particularly wise with the FBI following us around. MAX: Please, Michael. Leave it alone for now. MICHAEL: Fine. I'll wait. MICHAEL: Do you ever wonder what else he tells Liz that he doesn't tell us? ISABEL: Oh, please. You're one to talk. What have you been whispering in Maria's ear lately? ISABEL: Fine. I'm not an alien. Whatever you say. ALEX: Why on earth would...excuse the phrase. ALEX: Why would you be sent here to begin with? I mean, what... what purpose could you possibly have? ISABEL: To wipe out the world, one annoying teenager at a time. ALEX: Sorry. ISABEL: We've never been anything else but what you see. No green skin, no antennas. ISABEL : I mean, haven't you ever felt different from everybody else? Like if you tried to reveal your true self to someone, they just... would never understand. ALEX: Yeah. ISABEL: Well, that's what it's like to be us. LIZ: "This is the best night of your life." MAX: Is that really what it says? LIZ: Well, it's better than "A broken clock is still right twice a day." MAX: "Ask a girl to dance with you." LIZ: Is that really what it says? MAX: Depends on your answer. LIZ: Yes. MAX: Then that's really what it says. MARIA: Max. Liz. You guys have to come back to the CrashDown. It's Michael. ISABEL: We're leaving now. Alex, you need a ride? ALEX: What I really need is a sedative. MARIA: Are you kidding? We have to talk about it. We're the only two people in this world capable of having this conversation. LIZ: That we know of. MARIA: Don't complicate things, ok? LIZ: And I got really dizzy. Did you get dizzy? MARIA: I get dizzy just thinking about it. LIZ: Do you think that we feel like this just because of the fact that they're like... MARIA: Oh, their non-human status. LIZ: Right. MARIA: What if they've like ruined it for us with anyone else? MARIA: I'm teflon, babe. MARIA : You and Max, ah. You guys have got that whole...look-into-my-eyes soul mate thing. ISABEL: Yeah, well, next you're gonna tell me that spacemen came here thousands of years ago to share all their secrets with cavemen, right? MAX: I want to know exactly what Riverdog did to him. EDDIE: He wants nothing to do with you. You betrayed his trust, and that's something he won't forgive. ALEX: Hey, look, everything's going fine downstairs. I just wanted to come up...see if there's anything that I could do. ISABEL: Yes, there's something you could do. You can get out of here, both of you! And let me take care of Michael. God, he needs me right now, not strangers. MAX: When he finally revealed himself, he was standing on this rock. Just like you'd expect from Michael. "Here I am. Deal with me." MAX: We knew we'd be safe as long as we stayed together. RIVERDOG: She'll find her own path. You take yours. MICHAEL: Thank you, Maxwell. No more running. MAX: We don't belong together. MAX: Sometimes you have to take a step back to see what's really going on. Maybe that's what we both really need to do right now... find our balance again. LIZ: You know, Max, I thought that... I thought that we'd found it. MAX: You don't know how much I wish that could be true. |
