Michael: Hey I wasn't finished talking to him.

Isabel: I want to get the hell out of here. This place is psychologically damaging.

Michael: Hey, I've got no choice here. We've got cave paitings we don't understand. We've got Nasedo sending us messages. This place could hold the answers to everything.

Isabel: Yah, I'm sure it's a real Mecca for factual information.

Max in costume: Save me, save me, I'm a human trapped in an alien body.

Isabel: Excuse us.

Max takes off alien head.

Isabel: You realize we've just lost our last shred of dignity.

Michael: Nothing's too personal.

Max: How'd you do it with Maria.

Michael: Too personal.

Max: No, I mean how did you stop? I can't stop thinking about Liz. Everytime I see her she starts going into slow motion.

Michael: Maxwell, you've gotta be strong. You can't let yourself be led about your.... energy source. It wasn't for me either but you've gotta throw yourself into something else.. anything else to get your mind off.

Max: Throw myself into something.

Max in the information booth and Liz comes down.

Michael: Mud.

Max: What?

Michael: When you're with her think about mud.. it helped me.

Max: Michael, I don't need some trick. I can handle this.

Liz: Hi. um. I just wanted to talk about the luncheon that we're catering.

Max: Oh yah if it's work related sure. It's just that I'm kinda busy.

Liz: Okay, um.. I'll just come over. It's just that um.. Larry and Jennifer are back. You know, the ones that were there the day I got shot. And now Jennifer won't leave. She just planted herself in the CrashDown. She's been sitting there for hours and it kinda feels like she's been watching me. So I came here to tell you that they're here in case anything should happen.. [voice fades away]

Max: Mud..

Liz: What?

Max: pie.. Mud pie. For the lunch the CrashDown is catering tomorrow. I was thinking about Mud pie.

Liz: Rootbeer float?

Alex: No, umm orange soda on the rocks.

Amy: Hmm..Girl trouble.

Alex: Oh it's that obvious. Great hey listen let me ask you guys a question. As women, do you find that all men are obsessive?

Women: Yes.. absolutely.. no question.

Amy: They find something..

Maria: usually something completely innane.

Liz: Oh, like football.

All: or UFO's

Amy: And then they just don't let it go.

Jennifer: Until it consumes every minute of their waking day. Sorry. Couldn't help but deeply relate.

Liz: Yah, but then they use it as an excuse.

Amy: Oh whenever it's convienient for them.

Maria: To just completely ignore you.

Amy: Yah, and it's so clear why they're doing it.

Liz: Oh, yah, it's an avoidance thing.

Jennifer: They hide behind their obsession.

Amy: Because what they really are is afraid.

Maria: Deathly afraid.

Liz: of commitment.

Alex: Okay I got it. Crystal clear. But what if uh, theres a guy whose obsession is a woman.

All: Oh, yah.. dream on.

Amy and Maria rush to see if "Ernie" is okay from fighting.

Amy: Ernie.. oh my god. Are you ok?

Max: We didn't break up, Kyle.

Kyle: Max, Max, Max, don't do lie to yourself like this.

Max: We didn't break up because we were never together.

Kyle: She really did a number on you didn't she? But I've come to realize that's her pattern, her M.O. She's a maneater. And I pity the fool that radio station fixes her up with cuz she's going to fall in love, and then the hunger begins all over again, cya!

Max takes a sip of alcohol.

Max: My tongue.. feels very.. heavy.

Kyle: You really don't drink do you?

Max: Never..

Kyle: How the hell did you get up there?

Max: I used the ladder.

Kyle: [looks around] There is no ladder.

Max: Well, yah, now.

Kyle: Whatever, get down before you break your neck, and everyone blames me for getting you trashed. Maybe getting you drunk wasn't such a good idea.

Max: No, you were right.

Kyle: I was?

Max: Yah, all the stuff you said, about me, about Liz. I've been keeping all this stuff inside. Not confronting the horrible, ugly truth of it all. I've been hiding for years Kyle.. years. But it's time the real Max comes out.

Kyle: He wouldn't be gay by any chance would he?

Max: You're funny Kyle. You're really funny. No matter how much of a jackass you're being you always know how to turn a phrase

Kyle: You think I'm a jackass?

Max: Yah, see, see, secret keeper Max never said it to your face. But the real Max... he'll tell you everything he thinks. No inhibitions.. you should try it.

Kyle: Okay let's be brutally honest with each other shall we? You and Liz are in love..

Max: No flies on you Kyle.

Kyle: Okay so then why aren't you together?

Max: The problem is.. I'm a serious, dark haried mystery man from an exotic place.

Kyle: [laughing] but that's exactly what she wants.

Max: Women.

Kyle: Yah, go figure. We're a couple of big fat losers here Evans.

Max: Well, thats a little harsh don't you think.

Max: Not unless we give up.

Kyle: Well, in case you haven't noticed, we're here in the gutter and she's off smooching with dog boy.

Max: Let's just keep running. You and me away from here, away from everything. I see everything so clearly now. We'll go someplace where no one knows us. As long as we're together nothing else matters.

Liz: You're drunk. Nothing that you say is true.

Max: It's all true, Liz. It's how I feel. It's all just magic when I think about you.

Max: Hey

Liz: Hey

Max: I hope this isn't my fault.

Liz: Why would this be your fault?

Max: If I startled you.

Liz: No, you know I always knock over strawberries this time of day. Always. I'm just gonna get more berries.

Max: Wait, here's another one.

Liz: What are you doing here Max?

Max: I have orders from my planet to take over the Earth.

Liz: Besides that.

Max: I want to make sure we can still be friends.

Liz: Yah, I mean we are.

Max: Good.

Maria goes to the meet Michael on the bleachers.

Maria: Oh, Michael hi.

Michael: Hey.

Maria: Did you hear?

Michael: The Max-Liz thing with the flashes.

Maria: That Max and Liz have discovered some new sensation. It seems somewhat unlikely.

Michael: Extremely unlikely. Michael and Maria under bleachers kissing.

Maria: Michael.

Michael: What?

Maria: I can't believe it.

Michael: What.. what did you see?

Maria: I saw, a cluster of stars like shooting through space. This like incredible sunset like near the rings of Saturn. Did you see anything?

Michael: Yah I saw you, as a little girl. Trying to tie her shoe laces on her red sneakers.

Maria: You're kidding, the red sneakers?

Alex comes to see Isabel during lunch.

Alex: You ok?

Isabel: Mm hmm. Now I have that little piece of skin hanging down when the pizza's too hot.

Alex: Yah, well um.. speaking of hot, this whole Liz-Max thing. Well, I was just wondering you know, in the interest of science, kissing being purported to provoke these certain insights, I wanted to offer myself as a-- a human subject available for experimentation.

Isabel: It's not going to happen Alex.

Michael and Maria kissing.

Maria: Michael?

Michael: Uh huh.

Maria: This feels really good.

Michael: Uh huh.

Maria: These visions or flashes, or whatever... I'm not completely sure I've actually really had one.

Michael: What do you mean you're not completely sure.

Maria: Michael, I uh.. faked it ok?

Michael: Why would you tell me that.

Why? Because I want us to be close.

Michael: You think that makes us close.

Where are you going?

Michael: How do you expect me to react?

Like a person.. talk to me.

Michael: Yah, well I could act like a person but then I'd have to fake it.

Liz in the girls locker room. Maria tells her to look in the mirror. Max comes in through the back door.

Liz: Max!

Max: Liz.

Liz: What are you doing here?

Max: I just.. I wanted to see you.

Liz: Here?

Max: I had to know if something was real.

Liz: If what was real?

Max: Well, just like you've seen things. I've seen things. And one of those things. Looks at the shower.

Liz: You saw my fantasy?

Max: I had to know if.. what I saw was really from you. Or if it was just my imagination which it definately could've been.. except I've never been in the girl's locker room. And now that I see it.. it is the same room. I know I didn't make it up.

Liz: This is really horrible.

Max: No, Liz. It's incredible really.

Liz: This is not incredible.

Max: Wait please, listen, please. The main thing is.. I didn't just see what you saw, I felt what you felt when you saw me. And I never thought anyone could ever feel that way about me.

Isabel: That would mean each of us has this information in some part of us we're just not conscience of.

Michael: Or she's getting messages from somewhere or someone else?

Isabel: Nasedo?

Michael: I don't know. I mean why did she see the crash, the soldiers. Maybe it was all planned this way. That this is how we'd find out who we really are. By connecting with humans.

Isabel: Connecting?

Michael: The more they connect the more we find out.

Max: Uh, listen Liz is on her way over.

Isabel: Okay we'll leave.

Max: You guys don't have to leave.

Michael: Go for it Maxwell, for the good of all mankind, you lucky undeserving dog.

Max: Michael that's not what this is about for me.

Michael: Don't make me beg you to do what you and Liz obviously want to do anyways. I really don't see a problem with it.

Max: The problem is treating someone I care about like a thing. To be used.

Michael: What and that's what I'm about, is that what you're saying.

Max: The words are coming from your mouth Michael

Isabel: Okay you guys stop, enough.

Michael: Listen Maxwell, you are a sensitive guy. And you have available to you one of the top three seduction lines in history, with "It's going to help me find my home planet. And you're refusing to use it. No guy is that sensitive. Use it.

Isabel turns off lights, and snaps her fingers. Candles light up.

Michael: Nice.

Isabel: Mmm..

Isabel:Hi.

Liz: Hi

Michael: How's it going

Liz: Strange

Isabel: I'll bet

Michael: All right we're leaving now. But I've got some Chaka Khan cued up in the CD player.

Liz: So you told 'em huh.

Max: Yah.

Liz: And now everyone's sort of just cheering you on like at a football game.
