Roswell Quotes

Maria: I have never seen her like this.
Alex: So this was like the kiss of the millennium?
Maria: Alex, if they actually do it, she'll probably explode.
Alex: Or maybe she'll explode if they don't do it.

Nancy Parker: What exactly is an eraser room?
Principal: It's a small room that we use to clean the erasers so that chalk dust doesn't fly all over the school.
Diane Evans: Wait. I'm a little lost. You mean Liz and Max were cleaning erasers when they created this disturbance?
Principal: No. They were what we used to call "making out." We're talking sexual activity here, not erasers.

TV Show: Roswell
Max (voiceover): Well, I guess the natural place to start is...that I'm an alien...a hybrid, actually. You know, human DNA mixed with alien DNA...that kind of thing. Oh, I almost forgot. My sister Isabel and our friend Michael are also a little green around the gills.

TV Show: Roswell
Michael: I thought we agreed that it was over between us.
Maria: You agreed, and then you avoided me the entire summer.
Michael: Well, it is.
Maria: Why? 'Cause you're destined to be with Isabel?
Michael: No. I don't buy that. Because I'm destined to be the soldier, and a soldier can't have some chick at home waiting for him.
Maria: Michael, half the movies ever made are about soldiers with chicks waiting at home for them.
Michael: Well, be that as it may...
Maria: I miss you, Michael.
Michael: I know, but don't.

TV Show: Roswell
Maria: I'm worried for you.
Liz: Why?
Maria: Because this isn't you.
Liz: Yes, Maria, see... this is, this is me. I'm sitting right next to you.
Maria: I just don't want you to go too far.
Liz: I think I want to.
Maria: Are you crazy? This is dangerous. This isn't like a game! We don't even know what could happen!
Liz: Look who's talking! You were the first one to take the plunge, Maria!
Maria: Michael and I just kissed. Okay, fine. We did a little more than kissing. But, look, I wasn't getting visions, and I didn't have glowing hickeys and rashes and... look, Liz, the bottom line is that we don't know what this is about, all right? Female spiders can, you know, bite off the males' heads after they mate. What if they need someone to mate with to get certain information, you know? And then... Blttt! You know?
Liz: What're you been trying to say? That Max is just gonna bite my head off?
Maria: Uh, no. What I'm saying is, how do you know that he's not like using you?
Liz: Maria, because it... it... it feels right. I'm sorry. It feels right in a way that nothing has felt right in my life before.

TV Show: Roswell
Maria: I want you to know that what I said about you being all shut down and that's why I had to fake the flashes, that was... wrong and very unfair. If something went wrong, it was because of me. I'm the one who's scared. I mean, I fake all kinds of things all the time with everybody. It's just you were the first person I actually ever admitted it to.
Michael: Well... thanks for sayin' that, but it's not really true.
Maria: What do you mean?
Michael: It's not true about you being shut down all the time. I happen to know that for a fact.
Maria: Really? How?
Michael: Because you let me see you. The red sneakers, Maria. One had a Kermit patch on it, and the shoelaces were blue, and you had your dalmatian dog with you there, licking off your tears.

TV Show: Roswell
Liz: Okay. Fine. If you know so much, then tell me, Max...what's my destiny?
Max: I only know the part I'm hoping for.

TV Show: Roswell
Max: Liz, about what Michael said before, about Tess, I just...I want you to know that I don't feel anything for her. I look at you, and I know you're the person I'm supposed to be with. I've always known it. What happened here that day, when you got shot, and how that brought us together...it's fate. Look at me. You're the one, Liz...the only one. I could never be with anyone else.

Liz: Max, the day that you saved my life, your life just ended.
Max: No, that was the day my life began. Liz, when I was in that room, and they did what they did to me. You're what kept me alive. The thought of you. The way your eyes look into mine. Your smile. The touch of your skin. Your lips. Knowing you has made me human. Whether I die tomorrow or fifty years from now, my destiny is the same: it's you. I want to be with you, Liz. I love you.

Sheriff Valenti: We'll be safe here for a while.
Michael: There is no safe anymore.

TV Show: Roswell
Michael: It's not safe.
Maria: It's never been safe. What difference does it make now?
Michael: 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.
Maria: Wait. Don't do this to me Michael, please. You need me now, more than you have before, alright?
Michael: No, I don't need anyone.
Maria: 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?
Michael: Maybe because I love you too much.

Kyle: Yeah. I just... I'm just not looking forward to dealing with all the little green men again.

TV Show: Roswell
Kyle: Listen! This... this whole aliens-are-among-us thing... it really screwed me up... made me question stuff... life, reality, my place in this universe... and you don't understand. You... you guys... you people turned my life upside down. I need a little clarity. I need a little peace of mind.
Tess: No, I don't understand. I'm a girl from another planet. No family, no friends. Only 3 other people like me in the world. And the man I grew up with...the man who raised me...he was just murdered. You're right, Kyle. What would I know about needing peace of mind?

TV Show: Roswell
Michael: And if he kills you?
Max: Then you can be fearless leader.

TV Show: Roswell
Brody: Exactly. Do you know what this means, Max? Aliens. I mean, not like they're walking among us or anything stupid like that, but they're actually making contact with people right here in Roswell.

TV Show: Roswell
Max: This isn't about Tess. It's about you and me. You think I'm gonna forget about you or get over it or something, but... but I'm not. I don't... I don't care about my destiny or my planet or anything else. All I care about is you. So just know this... I'm coming for you, Liz.
[Max walks back to the table.]
Maria: Now that is a great man.

TV Show: Roswell
Hal: They looked like human fetuses. There was 4 to a sac. 8 total. That night, I packed my things and never came back. The base was on full alert. There was no way anybody or anything else could have escaped...and that's the story of Hal Carver. The only time I ever stuck my neck out to save anything...and it all went to hell.
[Michael reaches out his hand and blows up the bottles from a distance]
Michael: You saved me.
[He then turns to Hal who is having trouble lighting his cigarette. Michael creates a flame on his thumb. Hal and Michael hug]

TV Show: Roswell
Max: You tried to get Tess and me together?
Liz: Look, I know that you must hate me right now. I, um...
[Max grabs Liz and gives her a long, passionate kiss. There are image flashbacks.]
Max: I felt that... and I know you did, too, and I know you think that... that I need to let you go... for the sake of Michael, and Isabel, and my race... so you went to Tess. But she can't be you. Tess can never be you.

TV Show: Roswell
Liz: Do you know how hard it was for me to tell him that I didn't want to die for him? He's the only reason that I'm alive right now. You...you've...you gotta come up with another plan. Please go to someone else. I...I just...I can't do this anymore.
Future Max: Just 25 minutes before I came here, I held Michael in my arms...dead. Isabel died 2 weeks before that. Now you have to do this. You have to find a way. All of our lives depend on it.
Liz: How? What can I do that's gonna make you turn away from me?
Future Max: I don't know.

TV Show: Roswell
Alex: Do you have any idea what you've done to Maria?
Michael: Dude, it was a misunderstanding.
Alex: Look. I don't care that you've got 30 pounds on me or...or that you can kill me with some...some twisted alien power. I will not let you treat her like that. I...I don't care that Isabel treats me like crap, but no one does that to Maria, all right? She's not just some girl!

TV Show: Roswell
Max: I can't help it. I love her. What can I say?
Maria: You're hopeless.

Future Max: I've fought a thousand battles...but watching you do that was the hardest thing I've ever had to do.
Liz: The look on his face...on your face.
Future Max: Maybe it's for the best. For you, too.
Liz: What are you talking about?
Future Max: I saw you with Kyle. He's turning out to be a...a great guy. Maybe it would be better for you to be with a human.
Liz: Don't you realize what you are to me...and you're always gonna be? You're the love of my life. Everyone else is gonna be second best. There'll never be another you.

TV Show: Roswell
