Michael: Will you come back to me?
Maria: I don't know. (edit)
Maria: Michael, I don't think I've ever been in. I mean, this girl you've known for the past 3 years - Maria - it's just not me.
Michael: Of course it's you.
Maria: No, it's not the me I used to be. (edit)
Liz: I think you've been trying to remember who you used to be for a long time. Say it.
Maria: Sometimes I just feel like I've paid this huge price for knowing Michael and knowing these aliens. It's like... God, I didn't think I'd end up here dealing with this crap every day. I mean, I love Michael, and I do sort of love this ridiculous soap opera, but I can't take it anymore. (edit)
Billy: I was given some advice one time. Decide what you want in life and live it.
Maria: That's terrible advice.
Billy: You gave it to me.
Maria: That explains it. (edit)
Michael: My powers are slightly out of whack.
Max: "Out of whack"?
Michael: I've been blowing things up all day. (edit)
