LIZ: September 23rd. Journal entry one. I'm Liz Parker and five days ago I died. After that, things got really weird.... LIZ: My grandmother took this picture at the crash sight right before the government cleaned it up. Jennifer (Tourist #2): Do people know about this photograph? LIZ: Well, I know about it, and now you know about it. Jennifer (Tourist #2): Woah! Larry (Tourist #1): Wow!! MARIA: Oh, and Max Evans is staring at you again. LIZ: No way. Maria, that is so in your imagination. LIZ: And, and even if it weren't I'm going out with Kyle. He's steady and loyal... MARIA: Sounds like you're describing a poodle. MICHAEL: Max, what are you gonna do? MAX: Liz! You have to look at me. You have to look at me. MAX: You're all right now. You're all right. MARIA: The guy with the gun was kind of like a, like a muscular Beavis, you know. And...the other one was like a, like a beefy Butthead. DEPUTY: I'm gonna need a better description then that. I'm assuming they weren't actually cartoons. Larry (Tourist #1): Uh, Sheriff, hi, um, um, I'm sorry, I really need to talk to you. I think something happened here. DEPUTY: We haven't found a bullet hole yet sheriff. Jennifer (Tourist #2): There were two kids sitting over here when it happened, two boys about her age. And then one of them went... LIZ: Uh you know, that's right there were. You know that I didn't recognize them, so they must have just been tourists. Larry (Tourist #1): No, no it sure looked like that she knew them to me. TEACHER: Mr. Evans? MAX: Could I get a bathroom pass? TEACHER: High maintenance today aren't we? LIZ: I scraped some cells from your pencil. LIZ: The cells weren't normal. LIZ: So help me out here Max. I mean, what are you? MAX: Well I'm not from around here. LIZ: Where're you from? LIZ: You're not an, an alien, I mean. Are you? MAX: Well I prefer the term Not-of-this-Earth. MAX: Yea, I am. Wow, it's weird to actually say it. MAX: Liz, listen to me. You can't talk to anyone about this. Not your parents, not Maria. No one. You don't understand what'll happen if you do. MAX: Now my life is in your hands. MARIA: Okay, first of all, Liz is never late right? She walks into homeroom today, and goes and sits next to Pam Troy. She like, hates Pam Troy and you know like, goes about admitting it openly...and... MARIA: Alex are you listening to me?? ALEX: Yea, yea, Maria I'm listening to you. But this is just you being you. All right? ISABEL: You know, I finally feel like I have a quasi-normal existence and you blow it all with one random act of lunacy. MICHAEL: Hey, don't turn this around on me. I'm not the one who thinks he's a super hero. MAX: Look, I said I was sorry. ISABEL: You're sorry? You break a sacred pact and that's all you have to say? It's against the rules Max, the rules we made! ISABEL: We just have to figure out what to say to Miss Scientist. ISABEL: Don't you realize that everything has changed. MAX: No, it hasn't. MICHAEL: Max, she's right, we're screwed. ISABEL: You know Roswell's home. MICHAEL: Roswell's not home. It's not even in our solar system. MAX: Well this is the closest thing we have to home right now. MICHAEL: For you two maybe, it was you the Evans found on the side of the road not me. ISABEL: Don't you realize it's only a matter of time before they find us and turn us over to some government agency where they're gonna test us and prod us, and, oh yea, exterminate us. MARIA: What did Max do to you? SHERIFF: You kids be careful out there. MAX: Michael, everything is gonna be okay. MICHAEL: No it won't. Our cover is blown. And I'm not gonna hang around and wait for them to catch us. MAX: No one is caught yet. MAX: I mean, we don't even know if there is a ''them''. MAX: Liz won't tell anyone, she's different. MICHAEL: Really? So how'd she react when you told her? 'Great you're an alien that's fantastic, excellent.' No, I didn't think so. LIZ: When you see me, do you, do you feel things. KYLE: Yes, of course. I feel things. Like what? MAX: I've thought about telling you a thousand times. MAX: When I healed you, I made this, this, I don't know, this connection. And I got this rush of images.... MAX: I've never tried this before, but maybe I can make the connection go the other way. MAX: I have to touch you. LIZ: I could feel everything he was feeling. LIZ: I could feel his loneliness. For the first time I was really seeing Max Evans. LIZ: …and the amazing thing was, in his eyes, I was beautiful. LIZ: Max Evans has put a force on me. ALEX: I'm you're friend, and I'm Maria's friend too, so if you lie to Maria, it's sort of like lying to me. LIZ: Alex, what did Maria say to you? ALEX: Well, frankly it's vague. I mean, everything needs to be put through the Maria filter. But, she said something about how she found blood on your order book. ALEX: All I care about is that you're OK. So you're you are right, you're okay? LIZ: I'm OK. ALEX: All right. LIZ: Okay. ALEX: And whatever happened is ... over now?? LIZ: It is totally over. ALEX: Okay. LIZ: Okay. LIZ: I have never seen anything like that before. SHERIFF: Kyle said he saw a similar mark on your stomach. LIZ: He was wrong. SHERIFF: I'm sure, Kyle's got a pretty wild imagination. SHERIFF: What do you know about a kid named Max Evans? SHERIFF: Was he one of the kids at the CrashDown that day? LIZ: No. SHERIFF: I see. AGENT: I have a flying saucer sighting in Phoenix. An accountant in Barstow who thinks he's Jesus. Both cases are more solid then this one. AGENT: Sheriff, do you know what everyoneat the agency used to call your father?? Sergeant Martian. You don't wanna end up like him. LIZ: I need to know everything. Or else I'm just gonna go to Valenti and I'm gonna tell him everything I know. MAX: Okay. LIZ: Where did you come from? MAX: I don't know. When the ship crashed I wasn't born yet. LIZ: What powers do you have? MAX: We can connect with people, as uh, you know. We can manipulate molecular structures. LIZ: Who else knows this? MAX: No one. LIZ: What about your parents? MAX: We don't tell anyone. We sorta think our lives depend on it. LIZ: So when you healed me you risked all of this getting out didn't you? MAX: Yea. LIZ: Why?? MAX: It was you. MARIA: And if you don't tell me the truth right now. I'm going to go to Valenti myself and tell him everything I know. LIZ: What do you know? MARIA: And I know that the one person in the world that I thought I could completely trust, is lying to me. MARIA: You were on your way to be like, this world renowned scientist and I was gonna be your wacky friend. So where does this leave me? I can't be a wacky friend to someone who's already wacky!! LIZ: Oh my God Maria that's them!! Cut a U-ie! MARIA: Cut a U-ie? LIZ: Maria! MARIA: Who are you? LIZ: Please, just catch them!! MARIA: Catch them? Liz, we're in a Jetta. MARIA: Ok, why are they here? No, don't tell me there's three. LIZ: Well... MAX: Michael, this can't last forever. This secret, and I don't want it to. LIZ: If you run, Valenti is gonna know it's you. You'll be proving it for him. ISABEL: Get on a side Max because time is running out. MAX: I'm turning myself into Valenti. KYLE: I waited for you for an hour and a half. MARIA: I know my mom's car doesn't look like much, but, not destroying it is the key to my and my mother's relationship okay? MAX: Aren't you going to read me my rights? SHERIFF: Do you have any?? SHERIFF: Don't play games with me Mr. Evans, this is paint. You went up to Liz Parker in that cafe and you did something to her, and I need to know what it was. MAX: I had a hamburger, when the gun went off I ran away. Did I break the law?? Sheriff are you arresting me?? MAX: Liz, it's not safe. I mean, for you and , and me to.... LIZ: I never got to thank you, for saving my life. MAX: Thank you. LIZ: It's September 24th, I'm Liz Parker and five days ago I died. But then the really amazing thing happened. I came to life. |
