Roswell Quotes

Isabel: I know my brother, and I know that if there is one voice he will hear no matter where he is, no matter what he's doing, it's yours. Take my hand, Liz.

TV Show: Roswell
Isabel: Actually I think Maria would find it in her heart to forgive you for exceeding the price limit, though there would be hell to pay if you gave the girl you love an electric toothbrush for Christmas. You're better off getting her no gift at all.
Michael: No. I tried the "no present" idea last year. It didn't work.

TV Show: Roswell
Isabel: You know, is it too much to ask that one day a year, I can be like a normal human being with a normal life and have a merry Christmas?!?

TV Show: Roswell
Michael: Hey, we're here for a reason, Max. So call me a selfish jerk, but I don't think we should risk everything just so you can feel a little bit better about yourself at Christmas. It's 3 against 1. I'm voted down anyway.
Max: Michael.
Michael: You made your decision before you walked through that door. I know you did. I could hear it in your voice, so why don't you just go do what you're gonna do... and make sure you don't screw up.

TV Show: Roswell
Liz: As beautiful as that is, Max... you can't keep doing it. I know it seems like there's no reason for those kids to have cancer or for a father to get killed saving his child or for any of it... but maybe there is. Maybe there is someone or something out there that's planning all of this, and maybe you have to respect it. You're not God, Max. You're the one that told me that.

TV Show: Roswell
Liz: I thought you didn't believe in God.
Max: I believe in you. [grabs Liz's hand and squeezes it tightly.]

TV Show: Roswell
Maria: Okay, okay, you’re a Max-aholic. I’m here for you. What can I do?
Liz: Get me a life.

TV Show: Roswell
Max: Everyone we touch gets hurt in some way or another. 5 years from now, I don't want you to open your eyes and realize that...that you missed out. You're part of the group. You always will be. But you need to be allowed to...to grow.
Liz: Why can't you come with me?
Max: Because I can't. But I'll be watching you, Liz Parker. Wherever you go...and I'll be here when you get back.

TV Show: Roswell
Maria: Pretty weird, huh? Michael, have you ever even thought of the possibility that this guy more than just looks like you? Like he is you. Like your donor. Like your human side is him. Which means in some weird and twisted way, that he and his relatives are like your family.

TV Show: Roswell
Maria: Look, you wanna know why you look like Grandpa 1935? She has the key. So, you have two choices, all right? You can let her in on the whole alien conspiracy thing and hope that it shakes something loose from the dusty corners of her brain, or you can... No. You know what? That's not gonna work, so look... You have that one option, all right?
Michael: No, no, no. What's my second option?
Maria: You're not capable of it, I promise.
Michael: Just say it.
Maria: Form an emotional bond with Laurie. (Michael shakes his head) All right, fine. You don't like that answer, then go show her the secret alien handshake.
Michael: (sighs) Okay, fine. What kind of psychobabble, Oprah crap do I gotta tell her?
Maria: I can't put the words in your mouth, Michael. It's gotta come from you. It's gotta come from your-- it's gotta come from whatever organ you have sitting in for your heart. Just go over there and tell her in your own words that she can trust you, and make sure that she feels that you're being completely, emotionally honest.

TV Show: Roswell
Michael: Look, Laurie, I know a lot of people think you're pretty crazy. But the truth is, knowing everything you've been through, you seem pretty normal to me. I just want you to know that whatever you are to me-- a sister, a cousin, whatever-- you're the only family I've ever known, and I just found you. I don't... I don't want to let you go. I know you're scared to death of me, but... if you could find some way to trust me... I mean, I got all kinds of faults. And this one over here, you know (gestures to Maria) she can list them off for you if you want later on, but... the one thing I am is loyal. I will not turn my back on you. That's all I got to say. I don't know.

TV Show: Roswell
Amy DeLuca: Michael, I want you to listen to me very, very carefully. On this glorious, rebellious, lost weekend of yours, you will take care of my daughter. You will protect her and be kind to her, and she will have fun. You will not get matching tattoos, and you will not allow her to pierce any part of her body that cannot be shown in polite company. [Sniffles] And, Michael, if you have sex with my daughter, I will hunt you down and kill you like the mangy dog you are. Okay?
Michael: Okay.
Amy DeLuca: Call me if you need bail money.
Maria: What'd she say?
Michael: [Sighs] She wants you to have fun.

TV Show: Roswell
Michael: If it was me, I’d tell us to get screwed and call the cops anyways.
Maria: That’s 'cause you don’t have any money Michael. People who do tend to get a little nervous when it’s threatened.

TV Show: Roswell
Kyle: What do you suppose alien crystals are going for on eBay?

TV Show: Roswell
Michael: Nightmares, Maxwell. I can't shake them. I've had them every night for two weeks. I mean my brain needs a vacation, or I swear to God I'm going to lose it on someone or something, and it's not gonna to be pretty.

TV Show: Roswell
Michael: Hey! I've been going through some heavy stuff the last couple of weeks. In case you missed it, I got shot.
Max: I know, I healed you.
Michael: You put your hand over my shoulder and you did your little trick like a robot. You're a machine, Max. You wouldn't know the first thing about what it takes to heal me. To really heal me.

TV Show: Roswell
Jim Valenti: So you skipped school. Missing class is excusable if it involves saving a planet-- yours, mine, or any other. It is not acceptable if it is done in the name of under-age gambling. Is that clear?

TV Show: Roswell
Michael: Just kill me now. I don't do proms. I don't believe in them.
Maria: You don't believe in them?!
Michael: The whole thing is totally bogus. It's completely unnatural.
Maria: You know what? I, I find it to be really unnatural that you're half alien warrior and half Grandpa Dupree! But I believe you.

TV Show: Roswell
Max: You can't compare The Matrix to Crouching Tiger.
Michael: Crapping Tiger is a chick flick with kung-fu.

TV Show: Roswell
Diane: Oh, honey. I wish -- I wish I had some kind of special powers or something to make all of this go away for you.
Isabel: Special powers don't help.

TV Show: Roswell
Maria: If you're here to trash-talk, I'm gonna have to take a rain check, 'cause that is the only way I'm gonna get through a simple school day without losing it, all right?

TV Show: Roswell
Tess: You're scared to go home.
Max: What is home? Is home really up there? I just feel like this whole idea about where we come from, and I want to believe it. I want to understand it more and more, but it just feels like this dream... this, this dream that I can never really quite touch or see or...feel. And earth just seems so much more... real.

TV Show: Roswell
Max: Michael. The idea that Alex might have died just because we're here... I can't bear it. All those times you would run off chasing some clue to find out where we come from. Why we're here. Where we belong. I always thought you were chasing something that wasn't out there, because in my heart, I believed that we belonged here, you know? That we were human. Lately, I've been thinking that you might have been right all along.
Michael: Lately, I've been thinking I might have been wrong all along.

TV Show: Roswell
Maria: I can't count on you.
Michael: Yes, you can. I'll take care of this. I mean, I'm right here for you.
Maria: But you won't always be.
Michael: What?
Maria: One day you're gonna leave me. You're gonna get on a spaceship and go away, and you being the perfect boyfriend right now is really not helping me. I can't lose anyone else, Michael. My heart can't handle it.

TV Show: Roswell
Liz: That was weird.
Michael: What was?
Liz: Maria just hung up on me.
Michael: Happens to me all the time.

TV Show: Roswell
Max: I always thought when we graduated I would give you my ring. [handing her the pendant they found at Atherton's] It looks like I won't graduate, so this is something from where I'll be.
Liz: I can't believe that this is what I have of you. I can't believe that after everything...
Max: Liz, you never slept with Kyle, did you?
[Liz shakes her head no.]
Max: I wish, I wish this all could have been different. I wish that so much. [kisses her]
Liz: I guess that this is our goodbye. Just tell me one thing: do you love her?
Max: Not like I love you.

TV Show: Roswell
Isabel: What if I said I wanted to stay?
Max: When we came out of the pods and we lost Michael, it was just the two of us in the desert and I knew that I wasn't alone, that I had my sister. To me, earth isn't home and whatever's out there isn't home, but you're my home.

TV Show: Roswell
Michael: There's a lot about you, Maria. There's a lot about you, but I think what means the most to me is that you're open. You know I can look into your eyes and I can see you. I can see what you're thinking. I can see what you're feeling. How much I mean to you sometimes, how much I piss you off sometimes. But I can always see you.
Maria: I see you, too.
Michael: No, no you don't see me. You know when Max and Liz would kiss, and Liz would get the flashes? And when we would kiss, you didn't. I know how much that hurt you.
Maria: That doesn't matter to me any more, Michael.
Michael: The reason you didn't get the flashes is because I didn't let you get them. I didn't let you see me. I've never let anyone see me before... because there are things inside of me that I don't want people to see. There's things inside of me that I'm not so proud of. But I've thought about it, and I want you to see me.

TV Show: Roswell
Michael: Max... I can't go. Ever since we came out of the pods, I've been on some quest to figure out where I belong. I finally found home. The weird thing is, it's here, it's on earth.

TV Show: Roswell
Max: [to Liz] I've been really wrong about a lot. But I was right about one thing: To get you into my life, to be around you, to love you.
