Quotes

    Roswell has been a source of some insightful, romantic and downright funny quotes; these are my favorites.  A big thanks to Roswell's Secret , Roswell Online and Roswell: Crashdown [Episodes], the sources of many of these.

Max: I couldn't just let her die.

Max: I can't imagine how you must feel right now. I mean, I've thought about telling you a thousand times.
Liz: You have. Me? (Max tries to hide a laugh.) What?
Max: Sorry. I just, ah, I just keep picturing you in that dress with the ... cupcakes on it.

Liz: Alex, the reason we keep changing the subject is...
Maria: Cramps. We have cramps, Alex.
Liz: Yeah. And we didn't even want to talk about it because we just thought it would make you feel really uncomfortable.
Maria: But if you really want to know, we can tell you.
Liz: In really excrutiating detail.

Max: Well you did it [told Maria] 'cause you trusted her, and you needed someone to talk to. It was only natural.
Liz: So why did you tell me?
Max: It was only natural.
Liz: What did you mean the other day about the thing about the tree?
Max: Just somebody's advice. Not to get stuck behind it.
Liz: Oh. Well did you take it? That advice?
Max: I think I just did.

Michael: You're mad because you're in love with a girl and she's with another guy.
Max: You can be really annoying sometimes, you know that?

Michael: Thank you for giving me one more reason to envy Max Evans.

Liz: I left it [the journal] at the Crashdown. A customer returned it.
Max: A customer?
Liz: A friend.  A good friend.

Maria: Not if you were the last alien on Earth.

Michael: Come on, honey, we don't have to lie.  {Maria looks shocked then starts to hit Michael}
Isabel: I believe you. The day Michael calls anybody honey, it's all over.

Maria: Interesting, um, Michael. You know, some women of the, uh, 20th century might find that last remark just a tad bit offensive.
Michael: Why?
Maria: Why?
Isabel: Welcome to Michael-land.

Maria: I hope you intend to pay for that.
Michael: I do not.
Maria: Well, then that's theft, buddy.
Michael: Arrest me.

River Dog: [to Liz] Make sure he deserves your trust.

Max: You saved my life.
Alex: Yeah, well, you screwed up mine.

Alex: Ok, all right. You are going to tell me exactly what has been going on with Max and Topolsky and the actual FBI or I swear, Liz, this is the end of you and me being friends.
Liz: No Alex, don't say things...
Alex: What? Something that I won't go through with? Liz, I'm not kidding. All right? Now either you tell me the truth, or I walk.
Liz: Alex, I can't.

Teacher: [walks in on Max and Liz about to kiss] Hey Liz. How are you doin' on your mating ritual?
Liz: I was doing just fine.

Isabel: So, tonight... that party everyone's talking about. You interested?
Alex: Yeah, yeah, sure.  Tell me how it goes.

Liz: Alex, Max, Michael and Isabel... They aren't from around here.
Alex: Where are they from? [Liz points upwards] What, like Wyoming?

Alex: I'm ready to talk about the fact that I'm a kid. I'm 16 years old. I'm a sophomore in high school, so
what could I possibly have to do with a teacher leaving? What does any of this have to do with you,
anyway?
Sheriff: I'm just doing my job, son.
Alex: I was at a party! And my only wish was that while I was there, I engaged in some sort of depraved activity, like drinking or sex, but I didn't. I didn't break any laws.
Sheriff: Everybody who was at that party was trespassing on private property, and both of you were minors in possession of alcohol.
Alex: This has nothing to do with that party, does it? Sheriff, I want out of here...right now. I demand it, or I'm going to get a lawyer and I'm going to sue for abusive treatment of a minor. I may be 16, but I know my rights.

Liz: Um, so, um, how do you feel? You know, about what I said?
Alex: Well, part of me... uh, part of me thinks you've gone insane, and the other part of me wants some of those massive doses of hallucinogens you've obviously been taking.

Alex: Well, I've got two theories. One is that...uh, you and Liz have been brainwashed by a drug cult.
Maria: Yeah?
Alex: And the other is...I'm trapped inside some extremely long, extremely weird nightmare.

Liz: Ok, um...Max, first of all, that [getting together with Kyle] couldn't be further from what's happening, and secondly...if it was happening, I wouldn't need your permission, Max.

Jeff: And the guy with the hair?
 Liz: Michael.

Liz: Alex, Alex, Alex, um, your paranoid schizophrenia, it's kicking in.
Alex: Right. I'm gonna go to the bathroom and go have a little talk with myself.

Kyle: ...All right, listen, I'll tell you if you tell me. How far did you and Liz get?
Max: We saw into each other's souls. How about you?
Kyle: Second base.

Max: [having just kissed Liz] I'm sorry. I...I don't know what I...I shouldn't have done that. I'm sorry.

Maria: He [Michael] was upset about something. I don't know what hewas upset about, but sex was like the last thing on his mind.

Max: You keep telling me how lucky I am...to have a great home, great parents. But in one way, it's harder for me, because when I screw up, I have no excuses. But you, you can do and say anything you want because you have Hank, and you can blame it on that. But what happens without him? It'll all be on you, that's what.

Michael: Listen, Maxwell...you are a sensitive guy. And you have available to you one of the top 3 seduction lines in history...with "it's gonna help me find my home planet". And you're refusing to use it. No guy is that sensitive. Use it.

Liz: Ok. Fine. If you know so much, then tell me, Max...what's my destiny?
Max: I only know the part I'm hoping for. [He takes her hand]

[Alex walks into the employee area of the Crashdown looking for Liz and Maria; he finds them changing]
Alex: Oh, whoa! Peep shows! [covers his eyes]
Maria: Ooh, Alex. Don't worry. It's nothing you haven't seen before.
Alex: Ah, well, don't be too sure.

Isabel: You really do want to protect me, don't you?
Alex: I'd do anything.

Michael: What I want to know is, if I'm such a loser, then why do you want to be with me? 

Isabel: You know how I said I wanted to take things slow?
Alex: The word glacial comes to mind.

Kyle: Ok, so it’s just an everybody-deserves-to-be-happy-but-Kyle thing.

Michael: ...This is about Isabel.  Something is happening to her, and that’s all I care about.

Michael: And tell him [Valenti]  what? There’s two Maxes. The good one’s right here, but please help us catch his evil twin.

Max: Who’s inhuman now?

Michael: ...The bottom line Maxwell, I kill people. I kill people, you heal them. You're good, and I'm bad.

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. Goodbye.

Max: [To Liz] ... you mean everything to me.
