dangermousieThese are all from S1, since this is as far as I've got. Some made me awww and some made me LOL and some
did both.
My fave:
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: I could feel everything he was feeling. I could feel his loneliness. For the first time I was really seeing Max Evans, I saw me as he saw me, and the amazing thing was, in his eyes, I was beautiful.
and my newest ship gets going...
MARIA: You...you are going to be arrested.
MICHAEL: For driving to Texas?
MARIA: Across a state line with a minor? In a stolen vehicle? There are laws, you know. And that cell phone you just tossed? Vandalism of personal property. God, I just...I knew you had criminal tendencies. You even drive erratically.
MICHAEL: What's exactly wrong with my driving?
MARIA: I told you not to go over 80. The engine won't take it.
MICHAEL: Maybe it's just tired of hearing you talk.
In human, that means "I find you sexy"
(In a motel)
MARIA: It's like the porno version of Aladdin.
MARIA: Underneath that, um, weird, poorly bathed exterior, there's, like, this whole...deeply wounded, vulnerable guy.
MICHAEL: Listen, all right, in terms of what happened yesterday between us, that was just we were on the road. All right, we talked. That's all over.
MARIA: Of course. Wait. You think something happened between us?
MARIA: You know, all I ask of you is just to try to make me feel better, you know, be a guy or whatever. Forget it. I have obviously tried to bark up the wrong tree.
(Michael kisses Maria)
MICHAEL: That was to calm you down.
MARIA: Thanks.
Awwwww.
MICHAEL: Age doesn't matter to me. I mean, besides, you know, I've always been more mature than most people I know. I've always found it easier to relate to a woman. They have so much more in common. They understand. Girls my age, they just don't do it for me, you know? I can't relate to them. But a woman like you on the other hand...
NURSE: I appreciate the thought. I really do. But I can't do this.
MICHAEL: I understand.
NURSE: Hey, call me when you turn 18.
MARIA: I mean, it can never be. There's a number of obstacles. His hair, his personality, the fact that he was hatched.
MAX: Liz, I think that what I'm afraid of isn't that we try this and it works out really badly. What I'm afraid of is we try it and it works out really well. I'm afraid of feeling everything that I know I would feel. Because I know it's not meant to be. And somewhere down the line, we're gonna get hurt. I can live with that. I just couldn't bear to hurt you.
Yes to my newest TV boyfriend. *is ded from the sweet*
MAX: What's your problem, Michael? I thought maybe you'd want to see Maria.
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.
LIZ (to Max): Cherry cola. On the house.
MARIA (to Michael): Yours is $1.25.
MICHAEL: Guess it's not really confusing anymore, is it?
They are so the Ron and Hermione of the show!
MAX: "Ask a girl to dance with you."
LIZ: Is that really what it says?
MAX: It depends on your answer.
LIZ: Yes.
MAX: Then that's really what it says.
MARIA: It's an aqua bra. You know, all the fun of implants except without the invasive surgery part.
LIZ: You have officially lost it.
MARIA: No, I have found it, babe, ok? I've had 3 phone numbers. It's only second period.
MAX: We're gonna show her how we feel about her and she's gonna forget all about Mr. Shallow and come back to us.
KYLE: Shellow.
MAX: Come on.
KYLE: Well, how do we split her up, exactly? Every other week? Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, alternate Saturdays?
OK, my mind just went scary places.
KYLE: Girls always like that meaningful stuff. I suck at that. So tell me the truth, does it really get you farther?
MAX: What do you mean?
KYLE: You know...farther. 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: Well, we can't win them all.
I like drunk!Max.
MAX: You're my dream girl, Liz.
LIZ: And what if I believe you tonight?
MAX: Then we live happily ever after.
LIZ: And then what about tomorrow...when you go back to realizing who you really are, and all of your fantasies go away.
MAX: I'll still have you.
LIZ: This can never be normal, Max.
MAX: What's so great about normal?
And this, ladies and gents, is my second favorite scene.
MAX: Michael, I've got to talk to you about something...personal.
MICHAEL: Nothing's too personal.
MAX: How'd you do it with Maria?
MICHAEL: Too personal.
MAX: No, I mean...how did you stop? I can't stop thinking about Liz. Everytime I see her, she just starts going into slow motion.
MICHAEL: Maxwell, you've gotta be strong. You can't let yourself be led around by your...energy source.
SciFi does sex advice for teens...
FRAKES: Milton said that you were in charge of celebrity relations.
MAX: Well, yeah, I guess I am.
FRAKES: Then maybe you can explain to me why Shatner and Stewart got suites and I didn't.
MAX: Well, I think the Tumbleweed only has 2 suites.
FRAKES: And why wouldn't I get one of them?
MAX: I think they signed on first, so they got the suites.
FRAKES: Oh, that would explain it. Well, I'm going to need a suite, too.
MAX: I don't think there are any.
FRAKES: No, the right reply would be "I'll take care of it, Mr. Frakes."
MAX: Yeah, but I don't...I'll see what I can do? I'll move you to another motel.
FRAKES: Thanks, Max.
ALEX: Well, I was just wondering, you know, in the interest of science, kissing being purported to provoke these certain insights, I wanted to, you know, offer myself as a...as a human subject available for experimentation.
Snerk. Nice try.
MARIA: You guys didn't go...beyond?
LIZ: No no no.
MARIA: Gonna say...you were only out for 5 minutes.
LIZ: I know. Listen, Maria, if I...when...when...when I actually do it, it is not gonna be in between a plate of Kielbasa and a deep fryer.
MARIA: Hmm.
I have the world's biggest girl-crush on Maria.
MARIA: Is that so hard?
MICHAEL: What?
MARIA: Acting like a real couple, kissing, arms around each other's shoulders, actually excited to see one another.
MICHAEL: Overrated.
MAX: We kind of planned on seeing a movie.
LIZ: Maria, would you mind?
MARIA: Go ahead.
LIZ: Thank you.
MARIA: Live the life I so desperately want.
MICHAEL: It's kind of immature, really.
MARIA: Really.
MICHAEL: Just a couple of horndogs looking for a place to make out. I mean, we don't need that. We got my apartment, you know?
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.
melts into a puddle of gooey goo on the floor. Yup, my favorite scene so far.
MICHAEL: But that's just it. I wanted to kill him. I mean, that's all that I could think about. I wanted him dead. Knowing that, I just did it. It just happened. What kind of person does that make me?
MAX: We would have been dead if you didn't help us.
MICHAEL: No! The bottom line Maxwell, I kill people. I kill people, you heal them. You're good, and I'm bad.
heart breaks a little
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. Goodbye.
heart breaks a lot
LIZ: Max, you do have a destiny. You just heard it. I can't stand in the way of it.
MAX: But you mean everything to me.
LIZ: Goodbye, Max.
pieces of said heart are trampled on by hobnailed boots.
did both.

Date: 2005-08-11 04:28 pm (UTC)Wow, you picked some real zingers and heartbreakers! I love all of them. You're making me all nostalgic so now I want to run out and buy Season One, which is bad,
no subject

Date: 2005-08-11 05:53 pm (UTC)i esp love all the M/L ones, no surprise right.
LOVE LOVE LOVE, the second one. i just love that part. and the quote on their first date, about the fortune cookie. thats the cutest thing =]
no subject
Date: 2005-08-11 05:56 pm (UTC)Oh, that whole date, what with the dinner and pool and everything was about the most adorable thing (which you knew, by TV law, would be ruined because they are happy for more than 10 minutes).
It's just so cute to see them all normal and happy and relaxed and not angsting but just having a good time. I really like Max's rather quiet sense of humor peeking out now and then.
Ahhh, M/L make me melt.

MARIA: Acting like a real couple, kissing, arms around each other's shoulders, actually excited to see one another.
MICHAEL: Overrated.
Ah, but you know he likes it. Michael tries so hard to be the tough punk.
MICHAEL: But that's just it. I wanted to kill him. I mean, that's all that I could think about. I wanted him dead. Knowing that, I just did it. It just happened. What kind of person does that make me?
MAX: We would have been dead if you didn't help us.
MICHAEL: No! The bottom line Maxwell, I kill people. I kill people, you heal them. You're good, and I'm bad.
But that's the real Michael, the one who can't deal with the fact that he can hurt people. He's a very long way from being tough. In fact, he's probably more fragile than Max when it comes down to it.
no subject
Date: 2005-08-11 11:06 pm (UTC)I love that scene because you can see him freaking out like crazy, in the background, all through the scene where Max heals Kyle.
And yeah, I think he likes nonverbal signs of affection, though he'd never be much on speeches.
