Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars - points of light and reason...And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn't see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything.

Bella: How old are you?
Edward: Seventeen
Bella: How long have you been seventeen?
Edward: ...a while.

Michael's Goodbye
Maria: I thought you were leaving.
Michael: I am. I just wanted...I don't know.
Maria: To say goodbye?
Michael: I wanted to say that this whole thing has been screwed up from the beginning. You and me. Us. Just the whole long, stupid story.
Maria: Thanks...
Michael: But I wouldn't trade it for anything. It's meant so much to me. From day one, from the moment that I kidnapped you and stole your car...I knew you were the girl for me. I never wanted anyone else.
Maria: Michael...
Michael: I still don't. Just--Wherever I'm going, whatever I'm doing, just know I'll always love you. (puts on his helmet and starts his bike)
Maria: Wait. No, wait, you just can't say that and then...
(Michael drives [technically rides] off, leaving Maria looking after him)

Max's Proposal
Max: Liz, they're taking our home from us. They wanna kill us...and they might. But when I look in your eyes I don't feel angry or deprived. I feel like the luckiest half-human on the planet. You're pure. You're true, and you're real. And right now that seems like the only thing that's important. I wanna be with you, Liz. Forever.
Liz: "Forever" may only be 12 days.
Max: Then we'll take those 12 days. And we'll live 12 lifetimes. Liz Parker...will you marry me?
Liz: Yes.

Max's Graduation Speech
Hi, I'm Max Evans. I thought I'd take this opportunity to say a few things on behalf of myself and the graduating **** 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.

Liz's Final Journal Entry
I can't tell you much more than that. It wouldn't be safe. For you or for us. I can tell you that we're far away and that we're all trying to avoid the law and do good in the world. Oh, and I guess I should tell you that Max and I did eventually tie the knot. Give my love to mum. Let her read this journal too. Then, give it to Maria's mum...and after that, take it and burn it out in the desert by the ruins of the pod chamber, where my husband was born. So that's the end. Our life in Roswell. What a long, strange trip it's been. Will we ever go back? I don't know. Even I can't see everything in the future. All I know...is that I'm Liz Parker...and I'm happy.
