  • Isabel: Max. You idiot. What are you trying to do to our poor clueless human parents?

  • Mr. Evans: Max... There was over $200 left in that cash register. You didn't do it for the money. I never believed you did it for some adolescent thrill. You did it because you wanted to get down those stairs into that room. And I need you to tell me why.
    Max: I can't ever tell you the truth. Please, don't make me lie to you. edit »

    Mr. Seligman: Well, you do have a point there. edit »
  • Liz: Since I told her that you broke my heart -- without any of the alien details, of course -- she thinks that we should just take things slow. Just dinner, then straight home, no plans for future dates. No making out.
    Max: So I suppose skinny dipping would be against the rules, too. edit »
  • Max: Liz, I just want to put everything that happened behind us.
    Liz: Yeah, you know that I would, too, if I had impregnated an alien killer who murdered one of our best friends and then left the planet with my unborn child.
    Max: So you're still holding on to that? edit »
  • Jesse: Max and Liz picked a bad place to play Bonnie and Clyde.
