LIZ: It's kinda funny, isn't it? You know, how people have started pairing up and moving forward. Um...have you noticed anything strange about Michael lately?
MAX: What do you mean?
LIZ: Maybe just the way he acts around Maria. You know, have you observed any differences in his behavior at all?
MAX: Are you saying there's something going on between Michael and Maria?
LIZ: No, I'm not. I'm not saying that. Would it be bad if there were?
MAX: Yes! I mean...I don't know.
-----------------------------------------------------
(Max is looking for Liz and finds her in the bio lab)
MAX: Hey.
LIZ: Hey, what's up? I'm just trying to get these stupid slugs to mate. Ah, come on! Won't you guys just do it?
MAX: Maybe one of 'em's gay.
LIZ: Max, you know when you said before that we couldn't be together? That we were different? I just sort of accepted it, you know? Because I thought that it was like physically impossible. That it...that it couldn't be. But when I saw Maria with Michael...the truth is that...I was hurt, Max. Why is it ok for them, but it's not ok for us?
MAX: Liz, I think that what I'm afraid of isn't that we try this and it works out really badly. What I'm afraid of is we try it and it works out really well. I'm afraid of feeling everything that I know I would feel. Because I know it's not meant to be. And somewhere down the line, we're gonna get hurt. I can live with that. I just couldn't bear to hurt you.
LIZ: But that's not your decision, is it?
MAX: I guess not.
BIO TEACHER: Hey, Liz. How are you doing on your mating ritual?
LIZ: I was doing just fine.
-------------------------------------------------------
(Max and Liz go outside for a little more privacy)
MAX: It's uh, it's a little quieter out here.
LIZ: Yeah. It's more private.
MAX: So...
LIZ: So...let's hope nothing explodes.
(As Liz and Max move to kiss, Kyle sees them and interrupts)
KYLE: Hi! Enjoying the party?
(Sirens sound as fire trucks and police cars arrive at the rave)
-------------------------------------------------------
(Liz is on the roof writing in her journal)
VOICEOVER: The heat wave finally broke and I'm probably the only person in Roswell who didn't benefit from it. But it's for the best. Because if Max Evans and I had given in to temptation, if we had kissed each other even once, it would have taken us somewhere we both know we never should have gone.
MAX: Liz! Are you there?
(Liz walks over to the edge of the roof and looks down to see Max)
MAX: Hi.
LIZ: Hi.
LIZ: Yeah, sure.
(Max climbs up the ladder very quickly)
LIZ: Very impressive.
MAX: I try.
LIZ: You really can't stay long.
MAX: I know. I just wanted to tell you that I've been thinking a lot about last night.
LIZ: Yeah, me, too.
MAX: When I saw Valenti taking you away like that...it just hit home for me, you know? How much knowing me has screwed up your life.
LIZ: No, it's just the opposite.
MAX: Thank you for saying that.
LIZ: It's the whole truth, Max.
MAX: I better go.
LIZ: Why?
MAX: Cuz if I don't go right now, things are gonna change.
LIZ: Change, how?
MAX: I'm gonna have to touch your hair...cuz it's so soft...and I'd have to tell you that...no matter what we go through, it's all worthwhile for me because we're together.
LIZ: And then?
MAX: And then...I'd have to do this...
(Max gives Liz a light kiss)
(Scene fades out as Liz and Max share a long, passionate kiss)
