"The Eraser Room takes the best of us" - Maria
Alex says: I really don't think that's my area of expertise.
"I mean, what do we know about these people? Nothing. How do we know that
they're not 3 feet tall, green and slimy?" - Maria
Alex says: Do they look 3 feet tall, green, and slimy?
"Mustn't? When have you ever said "mustn't"? - Maria
Alex says: Liz and I learned that in English the other day. Where were you?
"Ricky Martin in the shower." - Isabel
Alex says: ......
"Uh Michael's not really into Geometry." - Max
Alex says: Who is? But do I skip class?...well, nevermind.
"Sniff some cedar oil, Maria." - Liz
Alex says: I'm sensing hostility here. And drugs aren't the answer.
"Everytime I come around you guys start talking about Czechoslovakians, which
is a country that hasn't even existed for 10 years now." - Alex
Alex says: Well, it's true. And I was getting really tired of hearing them talk
about it.
"Is he also obsessed, tortured, going from one sleepless night to the next
wondering what's going to happen between us?" - Liz about Max
Alex says: Ding ding ding! We have ourselves a stalker! Tell her what she's won!
(if it's anything like my past er, troubles, it's a restraining order) If I were
Max I'd be afraid, very afraid.
"...that you can sleep when the key to our entire existance is out there." -
Michael
Alex says: Get it? Key? That Michael, what a wordsmith.
"That guy creeps me out." - Maria about Michael
Alex says: Join the club.
"Agent Heart, the FBI has no jurisdiction here." - Sheriff
Alex says: Um, doesn't the FBI pretty much have jurisdiction anywhere in the US?
"You've thought about this a lot haven't you?" - Max to Liz about the whole
"alien thing"
Alex says: Well she needed the material for her journal entries, so....
"One... Two... Three." - Max
Alex says: Good, now try your ABC's. I know that Hooked on Phonics can work for
you!
"We always have to be able to leave, pack a suitcase, go somewhere else...
maybe 10 years from now... maybe a week from now... maybe tomorrow..." - Michael
Alex says: ...maybe at the end of the season...
Would a human wear that?

"God help this poor town with you running around in it!" - Grandma to Maria
Alex says: "God help this poor town with that hair dresser running around in

So the hair thing, does it work for you? - Maria

"I swear on my badge that no one will ever have to know."- the Sheriff
Alex says: No! Don't trust him! Look at how he dresses- he doesn't take this job
seriously. That cop from the Village People would be better at his job!
"Mosquitoes, pit toilets, and animal droppings. Yes!" - Isabel
Alex says: You like those too? Awesome!
"Last year I ate 5 brautwurst, and this year I plan to eat 6." - Kyle
Alex says: I am SO glad I'm not sharing a tent with you.
"I'm going to have a little talk with myself." - Alex
Alex says: ahem....(clears throat in embarassment) Even us brilliant
psychologists have our problems
"But you made me a part of this." - Liz to Max
Alex says: I didn't think it was possible, but that line is so overdramatic that
it obliterates my ability to make fun of you.
"There's been a sighting!" - Mr. Mustard, the UFO Guide
Alex says: Oh, did you see Max in the parking lot?
"You have officially lost it." - Liz
Alex says: You never officially had it!
"Would you like to try it on?"- Maria to Alex about the infamous aqua bra
Alex says: Yes, more than anything! Well, not as much as I want to see Isabel
try it on. But close.
"That's why my mom and I have a 'Don't ask, don't tell' policy."- Maria

Alex says: yeah, tell us about it
"He's a walking ball of stress"- some guy to Kyle about his dad
Alex says: WELL, that's one way to describe him- but I can think of others!
"Is this the big invasion?" - Kyle
Alex says: Um, actually, it kinda is. But they come in peace. Except for the guy
with the hair...
"He's not that different from us at all." - refering to Max
Alex says: Attention script-mart shoppers: Roswell scripts are now discounted

important happened tonight.

"It's February 20th and I'm Liz Parker." - Liz
Alex says: She's doing it AGAIN!
"People do a lot of dumb things when they are drunk."- Liz
Alex says: Like what? Writing to themselves with an introduction? Surely no
sober person would attempt that.
"I always knock over strawberries this time of night." - Liz
Alex says: Is that what the kids are calling it?
""My first time will NOT be between a hot plate, a kielbasa, and a deep
fryer" - Liz
Alex says: Are you sure about that? Roswell doesn't have that many sets.
"A friend wouldn't have kept that to himself." - Max
Alex says: How long will it take you to figure out that there are a lot of
things that a real friend wouldn't do that Michael would. Like wear that hair
style.
"Let's get busy people." - teacher guy
Alex says: Oh, so you saw the previews too?
"I think I've heard enough." - Liz's mom
Alex says: I think I've SEEN enough, what is this, Cinemax after hours?
"I'm glowing everywhere!" - Liz
Alex says: Don't they make anti-glow skin care products that could help?
"I want you to know, you don't have to lie to me." - Mom
Alex says: But lying makes Liz feel more rebellious. Almost as daring as wearing
capri pants, long after they went out of style.
"I think I saw the crash." - Liz
Alex says: Really? Should we call the sheriff? I'll get the insurance
information...Or are you referring to the crashing of this plot line into the
wall of the other hackneyed Roswell ideas?
"Everybody has red sneakers" - Michael
Alex says: Oh those 80s fashions, how I wish I could forget....I never had red
sneakers...
"I know what this is" - Max to Liz
Alex says- Yeah he's been walking around with one of those since the start of
the episode - Liz, could your drawing be more obvious about what you're really
asking for?*
"Parker... Parker..." - anal retentive gym teacher
Alex says: Bueller... Bueller...
"I can't stop." - Liz
Alex says: Try thinking about sulfur. No wait, that might make you more excited
"Great I won't have to miss the hockey game." - Michael
Alex says: How very Canadian of you. But if you are nice to Maria, you could be
playing the hickey game.
"Ok, kiss me." - Isabel to Alex
Alex says: There is a God!
"You have access to one of the top 3 seduction lines in history - 'You're
gonna help me find my home planet.'" - Michael
Alex says: Wait a minute, let me write this down...
""You lucky, undeserving dog." - Michael to Max
Alex says: Wait. You don't like Liz now, too, do you?
"I'm glowing everywhere. My toes, my heart..." - Max
Alex says: STOP, STOP! Don't go there. And last time I checked, toes are on the
outside, unless that's another one of your alien oddities.
"It's just beautiful. The universe is beautiful." - Liz
Alex says: Could you get any weirder? First you like sulfur, now you're
discussing beauty with your bio teacher!
"Mom, will you stop trying to control me?" - Liz
Alex says: Now YOU know how it feels!
"Wait! That's the noise I heard in my vision, it's over here." Liz to Max
Alex says: Uh-huh, and the 50 foot tower didn't tip you off?*
"I saved you from a destiny...watching Kyle barf after a beer bust." - Max
Alex says: ...and replaced it with a destiny of running for the FBI and alien
hunters. Don't be too proud of yourself Max
"I happen to know that for a fact" - Michael to Maria in the apartment
Alex says: Can someone get a decent cameraman for this scene? I feel like I'm

"Mr. Wonderful." - maria
Alex says: Yes? Oh, uh, you were talking about Max. Forgot I wasn't the "star"
of the show.
"Where have you been all of this time?" - Liz to Topolsky
Alex says: On a bad tv movie remake, Satan's School for Girls. What? Why are you
looking at me like that? Nothing else was on!
"Shampoo and conditioner. In one." - Michael (about his gift to Maria)
Alex says: I'm afraid that even the combined powers of shampoo AND conditioner
couldn't penetrate that helmet of hers.
"You have to believe me!" - Topolsky to Liz
Alex says: I believe that that horrendous wig your wearing makes you look like
Orphan Annie.
"I'll never be ok again." - Topolsky
Alex says: Yeah, Roswell is on your resume. I feel your pain.
"We can't be seen together. " - Topolsky to Liz
Alex says: Um, hate to burst your bubble, but you're already being seen
together. Or is basic common sense not a requirement to being an agent?
"It's supposed to make your skin soft" - Max
Alex: As opposed to the brilo pad you call skin that I've been rubbing up
against.
"What list?" - Max to Liz
Alex says: the 10 most annoying actors on tv today?
"I think we need protection Max" - Liz
Alex says: Ugh, get a room already!
"If anything happens to me..." - Michael
Alex says: ...it would be a huge surprise, considering what show this is.
Would a human wear that?
Topolsky's wig (It looked like a dead animal actually). Did the Roswell cast

Alex says: Please do not ever have a fantasy again. I think I'm permanently
scarred.
"Do I have something in my teeth?" - Tess
Alex says: Its hard to say, but perhaps a chunk of the half dozen pounds of

"Sheriff Valenti, Roswell, New Mexico. I must talk to her." - the Sheriff

"Since you are obviously so eager..." - Science teacher to Max as flame rises
Alex says: Its a good thing those Roswell writers don't overdo the symbolism,
that would be annoying.
"Kathleen Topolsky was one of the victims of the fire." - Dr. Margolin
Alex says: Sure, sure she was. And that crash in '47 was just some Mexicans in a

"ADMINISTRATION" - (the big sign)
Alex says: Its a good thing the school doesn't make student's secret files hard

went out on a limb and hired faculty members to keep an eye on the students who
are digging through them. Oh, the joys of realism.
"They don't work at the cheese factory." - Michael about the military guys
Alex says: But the Roswell writers do! That was TOO easy.

"I love this stuff, are you kidding?" - Alex about techno gadgets
Alex says: Well, I get bored sitting around in my trailer waiting for my

"Thanks Mom." - Liz to Max
Alex says: I don't even want to start considering the potential Freudian
implications of that.

Tell Me About It...Alex's Psychological Analysis
"My strength fails. My vitality exhausted. I cannot find the bull. I can only
hear the locusts chirring through the night" - Kyle
Alex says: Philosophy at football camp - that's a new one.
"Did you have a flash?" - Maria to Liz
Alex says: Well, Max is practically flashing the whole town, so yeah that's
about right.
"What does it mean to be a leader?" - History teacher
Alex says: Let's see: pointy bangs, scary pecs, huge ears, whiny monotone, did I
get them all?
"You OK?" - Max
"No" - Tess
Alex says: I use short words too. We all smart!
"A life completely different from this one." - Tess
Alex says: A life where shirts are required at all times.
"The skins are among us." - Max
Alex says: So, you saw Tess' new wardrobe too?
"Instead of all this talk, why don't we just break into the UFO center and
take the damn thing." - Michael
"Because it's too dangerous." - Max
Alex says: No, because that would be advancing the plot and we can't have that.
"Don't touch that!" - New UFO guy
Alex says: Okay, so not only has he stolen M.C. Hammer's hair, he is taking his
lines too?
"You Buddhists have, like no sense of humor!" - Tess
Alex says: And you don’t use nearly enough makeup
"I'm too young to be dust" - Isabel
Alex says: Or to have wrinkles. You better watch those stress lines, honey.
"I need a little piece of mind" - Kyle
Alex says: Or a little piece of whatever
"It's not every day you walk in on your boss drinking and shredding." -
Congresswoman
Alex says: Shredding under the influence? Is that legal? anybody got a
breathalyzer here?
"Home." - Tess
Alex says: Thank you, E.T.
"Oh God!" - Maria about Tess and Max walking together
Alex says: No, that wasn't an over-reaction at all
"It's not that I dislike you." - Max to Tess
Alex says: ... I loathe you
"Nasedo taught me a few memory retrieval techniques. I can show them to you
some time." - Tess to Max
Alex says: Yeah, and I bet that's not all you want to show him
"Look at me...waiting for my boyfriend to call. Which one of us is in high
school?" - Congresswoman
Alex says: Neither of you- at least you don't look it
"You're both involved with tramps. How is Tess, by the way?" - Maria
Alex: Like you are one to talk, Ms. "i wear headbands for skirts"
"And you know where this signal came from?" - Brody
Alex says: The same place where Max's shirt keeps disappearing to?
"Calvin Klein. I approve." - Tess to Kyle
Alex says: Yeah, well I don't. Given his past exploitation of teen's sexuality,
I'm starting to get a clue who's costuming us.
"I don't have that kind of insight." - Max to Maria
Alex says: Especially when your eyes are busy being "insight" with Maria's
breasts. Exactly how close did you guys get this summer?

"Don't touch me." - Dodi/Max
Alex says: Did you just break up with me too? You're a little heartbreaker today
aren't ya?
"What's with that hair of yours anyway?" - Carver
Alex says: None of us on the show have a life, so the producers have decided
that Michael’s hair will begin to have an ever increasing role as an ongoing
character. Next week it will have its own dialogue.
"4 to a sack, 8 total." - Carver
Alex says: Oh no, there's MORE of the pod squad? God help us.

Alex, I’m gonna do something I said I wasn’t gonna do - Isabel
Alex says: Go ahead, threaten me some more.
I asked you not to do that - Alex
Alex says: Hey, this reverse psychology can work pretty well.
It’s not quite liquid and not quite solid - Tess
Alex says: Like your makeup?
I don't know how to feel about it. - Max
Alex says: Well, read the words on the script page next to your line. They'll
help you out.
Michael, I remember EVERYTHING - Max
Alex says: Including all the answers on the alien SAT tests? That might be
useful.
"God! You are like, ubiquitous!" - Liz
Alex says: Oooo...big word for a small town

Moral of the Week
The prom is a defining experience in one's life
Don't alter your prom dress so the stomach area is too tight and scrunches up
every 5 seconds.
If you feel like you're suffocating, slide down a bowling lane.
If your heart is broken, go bowling.
Don't confuse your prom with your wedding.

I The Stud. - Alex's password
Alex says: Are you sure it isn't SexyMan47?
"The infamous kiss." - Tess
Alex says: Infamous as in evil.
"Leanna is not Leanna." - the document
Alex says: Oops, I meant to type "Krakow is not Krakow"
"It's a 2-page yearbook spread, a collage that captures, you know, everything
that Alex was" - Maria
Alex says : My whole life in 2 little pages? Should I feel offended?
"You can't look through his stuff for clues. It's immoral." - Maria
Alex says : All I'm gonna say is Agent Moss, Courtney, Meredith DuPree and
Juanita.
Some people would say congratulations. - Isabel to Max
Alex says: Some people would ennunciate.
"Lately, I've been thinking I might have been wrong all along." - Michael
Alex says: About having Teen Wolf for a role model? I'd agree with that.
"We've only got a few hours here" - Liz
Alex says : To transform Max into a non-ass character? I wonder how they will
pull that out.
"Maybe Liz is right" - Isabel
Alex says : So far, Liz has always been right...except for the curtain coat
she's wearing.
"With what happened to Alex, I can understand putting the subject on hold. I
couldn't deal with it, either. But now, I just - I can't help wondering where we
are." - Tess
Alex says : I've just been dead for a few days and all she thinks about is sex?
"Isabel, If I have to, I will do everything in my power to keep you here. I
will tell our parents that you have a drug problem. I will notify your teachers
that you have cheated on every test for the last 3 years. If you ever leave
Roswell without my consent, I will physically drag you back. For the last time,
the answer is no. Period." - Max
Alex says : Folks, this is a clear example of abuse, verbal threat,
blackmailing, intimidation, megalomania, power-trip and jackassness.
"You and me together, it scares me" - Max to Tess
Alex says : Hint, hint!
"I'm willing to forget about this, wipe the slate clean" - Max to Liz
Alex says : How about wiping your ass clean? I'm sure Tess would oblige...
"I'll take care of it." - Max about Liz
Alex says: I think Max needs to look up the term "hegemonic masculinity"
"I want to show you something." - Tess
Alex says: I bet you do.
"This is not Mr. Olson." - Some "Swedish" guy
Alex says: Nope, that was Auh-nold Schwarzenegger.
"I'll be here for eternity." - Tess
Alex says: This moment brought to you by Calvin Klein.
I feel that if I follow that road I can never go back. - Max
Alex says: Well, you know what they say, 'when you go alien you never go back'."
I can never touch or feel/ and Earth just seems so real. - Max
Alex says: I like to rhyme about my home/ I like to rhyme when I write my
poem...
It's like the alien mafia. - Isabel
Alex says: Heh, well, they have the hair for it.
If you ever leave Roswell without my concent I will physically bring you
back. - Max
Alex says: Yikes, could you be more of a stalker? Creepy.
He never went to Sweden. - Liz
Alex says: So we can stop with the tourism board nonsense and the bad Swedish
accents?

moment.
"Do you remember what happened the next day?" - Isabel referring to the
guinea pig death
Alex says: Yea, Kyle lent him Mr. Squishles.
"Tess, did you kill Alex?" - Max
Alex says : I'm pretty sure she'll take the 5th on this one.
"What, alien herpes?" - Michael
Alex says : Hmmm, is Michael implying something here? I mean he knew that Max
was a virgin...
"His majesty will now retire to his room" - Isabel about Max

Which, fortunately, I think I did [find a way home]. - Michael in intro
Alex says: You? You found a way home? Ok.
Everyone say their goodbyes. - Max
Alex says: Yup, we're moving to UPN.
I’ll take care of Leanna - Max
Alex says: Like you ‘took care’ of Tess? Your record on this kind of thing ain’t
too good here, buddy
Thanks . . . Dad - Tess
Alex says: No, silly, MAX is the dad, remember?
I can contain the fire with my powers - Max
Alex says: Too bad you didn’t ‘contain the fire’ when you were with Tess. Or at
least contain something else, hint, hint!
Your heart is your heart; your soul is your soul - Dead Alex
Alex says: Unless you’ve had some organ transplants you haven’t told me about
Some of these channels are awful. - Mrs. Evans
Alex says: One last dig at the WB huh?

Alex says: But I'm baaaaaaaaaacccccccccccck!

you've torn it out?
"Liz, Tess is pregnant." - Max
Alex says: I wasn't being serious!
I don’t wanna get all weepy or anything - Kyle
Alex says: Too late - everyone else is drippy, you might as well join them.
"I'll get some more warm water" - Valenti to Tess
Alex says : Don't forget to add some arsenic or cyanide to it, ok? Aliens like
"spicy" stuff, remember?
"What are you gonna do?" - Liz to Max
Alex says : Liz, take your spine back and get rid of that sentence. Replace it
by : "Here's what you will do" because we all know that Max's brain isn't that
bright and shiny.
"Back?" - Liz
Alex says: ...bone!
"How much time do we have?" - Post-nookie Maria
Alex says: I'm sure you have another 15 minutes.
It looks like I won’t graduate - Max
Alex says: Is this irony? ‘Cause if it’s not, you really gotta get yourself a
sense of proportion, guy!
"I probably just would've zapped my blouse the way Isabel did it" - Liz
Alex says : You mean that Isabel's "gifts" have been "improved"?
"You can't leave before this is resolved" - Liz to Max
Alex says : Well, a major kick in the groin should get Max infertile. So, to
avoid future "problems", I suggest you to do it now.
It's been an honor to know you Max. - Valenti
Alex says: Oh, sure, feed his ego a little more.
"What means the most to me..." - Michael
Alex says: Is how much you love watching Teen Wolf with me.

quickly!

everyone. You are a little bit too desperate to see what is really going on
here!" - Liz
Alex says : Liz, please follow your own advice. I think she's doing some
projection here.

Alex says : I'm sorry but, except for Liz's infatuation for Max's spawn quest,
the males on the show (excluding Kyle, of course) are the idiots.
"You didn't ruin my life, Isabel. You made me alive." - Alex
Alex says : Yeah, that was the time when I was wearing roomy baggy pants for a
practical reason and taking cold showers to clear up my "mind" after seeing
Isabel.
"Cold?" - Jesse to Isabel

Tell Me About It...Alex's Psychological Analysis
"You mated with another alien hybrid?" - Kal
Alex says: Well, that's one way to put it...
Why did you give me your phone? - Max
Alex says: 'Cause Nokia is apparently a sponser?
"I am NOT going to be the co-dependent girlfriend." - Liz
Alex says: HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOO?!? Do you ever analyze your actions?
"Don't be cute with me, you prick." - Kal to Max
Alex says : Woo hoo! You are my new hero! Can I get an autograph?
"So where were we?" - annoying wedding planner
Alex says : in the middle of the Evans kids are brats episode.
Give me some ice cream. - Max
Alex says: What are you, five?
"Why do you feel like you're above doorbells?" - Isabel to Michael
Alex says : Why don't you install one on your window? I'm sure it will be handy.
"You have human envy?" - Max to Kal
Alex says: Please Max, leave the Freudian analysis to me.
"He better be in a ditch somewhere." - Maria about Max
Alex says : Ditto that.
"Would you like to give me some?" - Max to Kal
Alex says : This homoerotic moment brought to you by Ben and Jerry's.
"How many Academy Awards have YOU won?" - Kal
Alex says: None, and I put $100 on never as well
"Liz, I know you've been here alone waiting for me and I - I was wrong." -
Max
Alex says : Poetic justice would be that Liz could wait with Kyle whenever Max
is running off again. Since they're both humans, therefore imaginative, I'm sure
they'll find ways to spend some good quality and entertaining time together if
you know what I mean...
Then date him, love him, you don't have to marry him. - Mrs. Evans
Alex says: Why am I having Party of Five flashbacks? Isabel's even getting Neve
Cambell hair.
"I'll never leave you, Liz." - Max
Alex says : Oh, jeez. *rolling his eyes* Where's that Raid/generic insect
repellent can when you need it? I have one word to say : P-A-R-A-S-I-T-E.
Honorary Alien of the Week
The Wedding Planner. She was straight up creepy.
Moral of the Week
Weddings are hard, they just are
Marriage is your "one chance to be happy" (Excuse me while I die laughing)
It's not easy being a shapeshifter
Max sucks (that can't be said enough)
Blowing off phone dates is unacceptable.
When things get painful, take it out on Michael.

...And don't call me 'Shirley'. - Kyle/Isabel
Neil Schweiber says: Hey, stop stealing my lines.
"So where are they?" - Isabel
Alex says : The fans? Watching Smallville or 24.
"I got all the time you need." - Kyle to Isabel
Alex says : Cause pretty much all your scenes are with Isabel?
God I hate cell phones. - Kyle
Alex says: You're sure it's not the people using them?

Alex says: That Michael, what a wordsmith.
"Your best man?" - Max
"What do you say, Max?" - Jesse
Alex says : I think he's wondering if he wants to be bride or groom.
"Don't you think there's a reason that everybody keeps telling you the same
thing?" - Max
Alex says : Earth to Jason Katims! This is a special broadcast for the writers :
no spawn quest, no Tess return, get Liz's backbone back when Max is concerned,
manage to transform Max into a likable character, get Michael some hygiene
lessons, get Kyle more scenes, tone down Isabel and Max's screen time, get the
couples more scenes together and get the humans more screen time.
"I'm in trouble." - Isabel
Alex says: I knew there was more to this wedding! You're pregnant aren't you?
"It just happened....things got out of control." - Max about breaking Jesse's
nose
Alex says : Didn't he say the same thing about impregnanting Tess?
I'm catering Isabel's wedding. - Liz
Alex says: With what? Galaxy subs?
"I can explain." - Max
Alex says : Is he recycling Frank'n'Furter lines? I sure don't want to see Max
wearing a corset, fishnets and high heels.
I was way out of line... - Max
Alex says: Huh, that suckiness realization from last week stuck.
I'm Max Evans, the best man. - Max
Alex says: And yet the ego lives on.
Honorary Alien of the Week
Khivar, Kivar, however you want to spell it.
Moral of the Week
It's ok to randomly use your powers in public when there's a possible enemy on
the loose
Max is the best man (ick)
Dreams are real
Don't hustle drunk statisticians that are wearing Michael's first season
wardrobe
A raw steak can heal a broken nose. (Question : what happens to vegetarians?)
When you wanna yell at people, do it on a cell phone.
Always test the groom's blood for green plant cells before getting married.
A wedding will always go well, if not as planned

"Kitchen." - Liz, handing Michael's dirty dishes
"I'm not washing all these." - Michael
"Go." - Liz
Michael goes to the kitchen
Alex says : You think we should thank Maria for Michael's new submissiveness?
"Your husbands quite a golfer." - Kivar
Alex says: And you're quite the LSD flashback.
"Spit it out." - Michael to Kyle
Alex says : Isabel cheated on her groom on their honeymoon but everything is all
right....
"Somethings been happening for a while now that I don't quite understand." -
Mr. Evans describing Max
Alex says: Yea, it's called puberty.
"We don't remember a lot." - Max
Alex says: Yeah, that must be why Max is rude to Liz on the phone when he
promised her that he will never leave her and be more demonstrative toward her.
"Well, it all sounds pretty far-fetched to me." - Isabel
Alex says: Whatever, hybrid.
"I feel funny about this but could I speak to you for a minute?" - Philip
"Sure. Right now?" - Jeff
"Yeah. Er, in private." - Philip

Alex says : You think Max and Liz's fathers are having an affair?
"Jesse, are you coming out?" - Isabel
Alex says : Max is the bride after all.
"What if this is some wild goose chase?" - Michael
Alex says : Like the spawn quest?
She wants control, she wants him! - Isabel
Alex says: Isabel, have you ever read Sybil? Might be a good idea to put it on
your wish list.
"Why is this happening to me?" - Isabel
Alex says : Because you're the new "star" of the show? Be careful. Look what
they did to Max.
"It's a new mode of transit." - Kivar
Alex says: Ah, you got one of those hybrid cars?
You'll have plenty of time for your intense brooding moments with Liz later.
- Michael
Alex says: Heh, but please don't make us watch that.
"See he got this girl pregnant..." - Isabel to Jesse
Alex says: Is this the Season 2 recap for that 1 viewer who came into the show
mid-Season 3? How nice of you to do that for him/her!
"She's still inside of me." - Isabel about Vilandra
Alex says : Like in "Alien"? Or the dancing alien from Spaceballs?
"Jesse. Honeymoon. Focus. Focus." - Isabel
Alex says : Elena Tyler called. She wants her lines back.
Honorary Alien of the Week
The dancing one from Spaceballs. "Hello my baby, hello my honey...."

Moral of the Week
The human brain is smart.
You can cheat on your new groom on your honeymoon
Be sure to always realize that men save you, even if you just saved yourself.
Before getting nookie on your honeymoon from your alien bride, you will have to
deal with lack of mood, sleep, bad appetizers, ex-stalking alien lovers,
bathroom locks, the bride kissing another man, the bride's brothers looking for
blood, excuses, a runaway bride and some physical pain.

Max to Liz

Alex says: That line paid for by Majandra's agent.
"Is this deep enough?" - Michael
"Almost." - Max
Alex says : Are they talking about the crap level on this show?
"They found the jeep." - Max

"Something came up." - Max

Alex says: Ah, so that's what that bed scene with Liz was about.
Honorary Alien of the Week
The guitar. Because it got the most votes.
Moral of the Week
Be true to the music, man.
Pink and grey bathrooms are a no-no.
Girls only cook Italian food for their lovers.
Tess is the source of all that is wrong with their world.
Pissed off aliens are dangerous to cars and sugar
Singing with an ex-boyfriend is worse than cheating
Michael is an idiot

He is, he's staring at me. - Max
Alex says: Maybe because you're staring at him.
All I know is I’m not getting any. - Michael to Max

stalking you.
You had his best interest at heart. - Samuel's dad
Alex says: Yup, using the kid to communicate with your alien son, definitely in
his best interest.
Just walk in there. She’ll think it’s hot. - Michael to Max

relationships and b) Max started listening?

Hockey is a superior sport
Max is allowed to have a God complex during Christmas
Creepy behavior is ok when the show's lead is the perpetrator

Alex says: No such luck. And they don’t know how to dress either.
"Ok, but tell me you're not just some guy with a fat buddha statue who prays
to get laid on Friday night." - Bitsy to Kyle

reminded every time Buddha is mentioned that he is fat?
"Remember the movie thing?" - Old lady Jane
Alex says: Actually, no. That scene must be lying on the cutting room floor,
along with most of the footage of me.

Kyle
Alex says: Yes, the aliens to have the power to make things suck. Just call them
the Hoovers.
"I swear I've seen you before." - Random girl at party to Max
Alex says: It must have been on the "Most in Need of a Shave" poster
Bingo! - movie lady
Alex says: Yes, let's get all the old folks stereotypes covered.
"She's a nihilist." - Isabel
Alex says: Good thing community college is teaching you how to pronounce that
right.
"Let's walk back to the car like we haven't found a thing." - Maria
Alex says: Why? That means less people will be at the party and what's the point
of attending a party that nobody goes to?
Honorary Alien of the Week
Ridiculous Crashdown menu clue that only a waitress that works there would get!
Moral of the Week
Drinking alcohol will make you think you're on fire.
Never leave your new bride alone cause she always finds another guy.
If you can't be with your loved one at midnight on New Years, settle for phone
sex.
Kyle's a sweetie and apparently the new Alex

Whoever (in Fan Forum) said that Max looked like he was doing a Mentos
commercial in this pic:
Moral of the Week
If there's a laughtrack then it must be funny
Keeping alien secrets is hard (not that this is new, but it's certainly being
stressed a whole lot, again, some more, indefinitely...)
Reporters are evil (and wear funny hats)
Sentimental gifts lead to good night kisses which lead to sex
Sitcoms are nice and neat, real life is complicated

Tell Me About It...Alex's Psychological Analysis
"Where's everybody else?" - Liz
Alex says : For once, lost fans are tuning back on the show since Liz is finally
getting a backbone and not being a codependent twit with Max. Katims, do you get
the message?
"What's wrong?" - Max
"Nothing. I think I'm coming down with something." - Liz
Alex says : Yup, it's called a backbone and self-respect.

"Kyle, I think I'm changing." - Liz
Alex says: Girl, you'll be a woman soon.
"You healed me and now I'm different." - Liz
Alex says: Yes, it took 2 and a half years but there are consequences on this
show.
"They want to turn me into some bubblegum pop princess." - Maria
Alex says: Turn you into? Maria, hon, don't set 'em up like that if you don't

Honorary Alien of the Week
Crusty Max
Moral of the Week
Just be yourself and we'll get along fine.
When the alien you love dies, you'll know
Morgan Fairchild is evil (she killed Bill, you don't just forgive something like
that)
Jesse is an appendix (as in, he serves no purpose and no one knows why he's
there)
Valenti is always gonna be the sheriff
Max is a vampire (see above re: powers)
No chick is worth cutting yourself while smashing a window.
To liberate yourself, spend a week on a bus.
For those attending a boarding school, be sure to break the rules within minutes
of your arrival.
Drinking from a flask is classier.
Alcohol is the way to deal with your codependency.
Once a cheater, always a cheater. [That one applies in "real" life]
Who cares about technically?

Tell Me About It...Alex's Psychological Analysis
"Any sign of a door or cockpit?" - Army guy
Alex says: Anyone else having Flight of the Navigator flashbacks?
"He won't come up" - Liz about her dad
Alex says: But someone else might if you keep making out.
"It's my son." - Max
Alex says option 1: Dressed in true Tess style - a trash bag.
Alex says option 2: No duh, as if it's huge ass head wasn't a big enough hint.
"I can't believe I ever cared about you." - Max
Alex says: I wish you'd figured that out a year ago! Maybe I'd still be alive.
:P
"We just haven't found it yet." - Random scientist
Alex says : What? Some real inspiring satisfaction watching this show?
"You've got the Parkers but we're not here. Leave a message." - Answering
machine on Liz's night table
Alex says : Why would the family's answering machine be in Liz's room? Just
asking...
"Can't you breast feed?" - Kyle
Alex says: Nope. She can take life, but she can't give it.
"So the baby isn't linked to you?" - Max
Alex says: I think that was a little obvious when she said it was linked to both
of you, and hello Mr. Genius - You've already died before!!!
"I don't believe you." - Max to Tess
Alex says : It's about freaking time!
"The only way to ensure his safety is to give him up." - Max
Alex says: Someone's been taking tips from the X-Files. Is Max going to dye his
hair red and change his name to Dana now?
"Max can take care of himself" - Jesse
Alex says : Bwahahaha. All I'm gonna say is Tess, Spot, Utah, Langley, Kivar,
Samuel, Michael's couch, a pile of ashes in Meta-Chem...
"You’ve been staring at that thing for hours." Max to Michael referring to
alien probe
Alex says: Freud would say it represents something you lack, Michael.
"What are you doing here?" - Kyle
"Ask one of them. I'm sick of explaining." - Tess
Alex says : Well, you just told Max so far...or is it because dense Max has
exhausted you? Or are you having troubles keeping track of all your lies?
"You brainwashed me into carrying Alex's dead body." - Kyle
Alex says : Just saying that my name had never been mentioned that many times in
an episode before...
"I was raised by a killer, Kyle. A sick and twisted man-" - Tess
Alex says : Didn't he die two years ago? Just saying that Tess had the chance to
tell Kivar to go to hell anytime after Nasedo's death...but she didn't when
there was no one to force her to anymore.
"Max loves you. Every time we were together, every time we kissed, he was
thinking of you. He had these flashes that I saw and they were always of you" -
Tess to Liz
Alex says : The writers have reached a new low...hmm...didn't Michael explain
last season, that the aliens have control of the flashes they send? Does that
mean that Max intentionally sent images of Liz while he was doing Tess? Yuck!
"Have you been body-snatched or something?" Michael to Max
Alex says: Huh, that would explain a lot.
"I'm here. I'll always be here." - Liz to Max
Alex says : That's not a good sign since Tess's "eternity" lasted a few episodes
What should I do with this thing?" Michael about alien probe
Alex says: Avoid your sick subconscious urges at all cost. I don’t want to hurl.
"I can’t believe you spied on me." Isabel to her parents
Alex says: Where have you been the last couple of months?
"Max, what is it?" Phil to Max
Alex says: Geez, it’s a baby.
"Where do you think Tess has been all this time?" Phil to Diane
Alex says: My guess is the SAG (Screen Actors Guild) unemployment line.
"Tess, you are not here." Michael
"Michael, no!" Max
"Max, get out of the way."
Alex says: Yeah, Max, get out of the way!
"So, you were the one that crashed in the desert." Michael
"You were always a quick one, Guerin." Tess
Tess flies through air.
Alex says: Nah, I think your petite body is a lot quicker while flying through
the air.
"Get up, bitch" Liz, her hand all aglow
Alex says: Now I’ll be avenged. You go, girl!
"This doesn’t make any sense, Isabel." Phil
Alex says: I’ve been saying that since Season 2.
"Forgive Max or get him out of your life." Maria to Liz
Alex says: You know my vote.
"Another lie?" Max to Tess
Alex says: Duh. You say that like you’re surprised.
"It will never be over." Max
Alex says: Not according to UPN.
"What was that?" Diane
"Just a memory." Max
Alex says: Just like this show will be soon.
