• Max : Liz, they're taking our homes from us... They want to kill us... and they might... But when I look into your eyes... I don't feel angry or deprived... I feel like the luckiest half-human on the planet. You're pure... You're - You're true... And you're real. And right now that seems like the only thing that's important... I want to be with you, Liz... forever.

  Liz : Forever may only be twelve days.

  Max : Then we'll take those twelve days... and live twelve lifetimes... Liz Parker, will you marry me?

  Liz : ...Yes.

• Max : [a speech at his graduation]  Hi, I'm Max Evans. I thought I'd take this opportunity to say a few things on behalf of myself and the graduating class. Some of us are here tonight to walk across this stage and get our hard-earned diplomas and toss our caps in the air. But there's another group here tonight, a group of people who are here for another reason altogether. They're here to say goodbye. Goodbye to their high school lives. Goodbye to family and friends. You see, this group has been though a lot. And tonight is the night they've decided to call it quits. It's been a long, hard road for them. They have a lot of wounds. They've lost people. People that were close to them. They've had each other to cling to. But tonight that's all coming to an end. I'm a member of that group of... outsiders. I always knew I was different. And for a long, long time, all I wanted was to be another face in the crowd. But in the end... it wasn't possible. I guess it never was. So from now on, I'll just concentrate on being who I really am. Some of you might not like that. Some of you might even find that frightening. But that's not my problem anymore. I have to be who I really am and let fate take care of the rest. So thank you, Roswell. Thank you for letting me live among you. Thank you for giving me a family. Thank you for giving me a home.

• Max : Liz, they are trying to take our home from us, they are trying to kill us and they may. Butwhen i look to your eyes i don't feel angry, or deprived! I feel like the luckyest half human in the planet. You are pure, you're true and you are real, and right now that seems all that is important. I wanna be with you forever...

  Liz : Forever may only be 12 days...

  Max : So we will take those 12 days and live 12 lifetimes... Liz Parker, will you marry me?

  Liz : Yes!

  Max : After graduation!

• Michael : Well, I'm not graduating so, I guess I'll be the first to leave.

  Max : Michael, look...

  Michael : Ah, I'm traveling light so, you can have my Metallica CDs.

  Max : I know things between us have been a little ah...

  Michael : Maxwell don't. 'Cuz I can't.

  [Max hugs Michael as the others look on] 

• Liz : I'm trying to handle the whole college acceptance thing with grace and aplomb.

  Max : ...'Aplomb'?

  Liz : Yeah... it's an SAT word that I can't get out of my head. It's slowly driving me crazy.

• Max : I'm the luckiest half-human on this earth.
