Destiny Cut Scenes

MAX: You were just trying to stop him. I know you didn't mean to kill him.

MICHAEL: That's just it, Maxwell. I did want to kill him. That's all I could think of. And then it just... happened. (beat) What kind of person does that make me?

MAX: We would have died if hadn't been for you.

MICHAEL: Bottom line, Maxwell. I kill people, you heal them. You're good, I'm bad.

MAX: That's not true, Michael.

MICHAEL: It's me, I'm not safe. Whatever I can do now, I can't control it. Look what I did to Pierce. I'm not going to take any chances with you. I don't want you to be around for what happens next.

MARIA: Don't do this to me, Michael. You need me now, more than you ever have before.

MICHAEL: I don't need anybody.

MARIA: Maybe I do, have you ever thought of that? Max and Liz, they can't bear to be separated. But you, you're ready to just throw me away. Why, Michael, why?

MICHAEL (blurting it out): Maybe because I love you too much. Have you ever thought of that?

MICHAEL (cont'd): Goodbye.

MARIA (simply): I just hope you find what you're looking for. (fighting emotion) Because I don't think you realize what you're giving up.



Here is how these scenes aired:

MAX: You were just trying to stop him. I know you didn't mean to kill him.

MICHAEL: But that's just it. I wanted to kill him. I mean, that's all that I could think about. I wanted him dead. Knowing that, I just did it. It just happened. What kind of person does that make me?

MAX: We would have been dead if you didn't help us.

MICHAEL: No! The bottom line Maxwell, I kill people. I kill people, you heal them. (Maria walks over) You're good, and I'm bad.

MAX: It's not true, Michael.

MICHAEL: Just get out of here.

MARIA: What are you talking about?

MICHAEL: It's not safe.

MARIA: It's never been safe. What difference does it make now?

MICHAEL: No, I'm not safe. All right, I mean, I can do these things that I can't control. Look at what I did to Pierce. I'm not going to take that chance with you. I don't want you to be around for what's going to happen.

MARIA: Wait. Don't do this to me Michael, please. You need me now, more than you have before, alright?

MICHAEL: No, I don't need anyone.

MARIA: Well, maybe I do. Did you ever think of that? I mean, look at Max and Liz. They can't bear to be separated. But you, you can just throw me away. Just like that. Why is that, Michael? Why?

MICHAEL: Maybe because I love you too much. Goodbye.

Here's the Destiny Van scene with some parts that they cut out! As always....I think they should've left them in!

************************************

LIZ: So everything Nasedo told me was true. You and Tess were meant to be together.

LIZ: So everything Nasedo told me is true. You and Tess were meant to be toge

MAX: Liz.

MAX: Liz, I'm sorry.

LIZ: I mean, it's your destiny, right?

LIZ: You don't have to be sorry. I mean, it's your destiny.

MAX: I wish I could go back Liz. Back to when things were normal.

MAX: That's not what I'm sorry for. I'm sorry for all the time I wasted before we ever got together. For every time I stopped myself from just coming up to you and saying hi. I wish I could go back, Liz. Back to when things were normal.

LIZ: Me, too. I just wish that I could have stopped you from saving my life that day in the CrashDown.

LIZ: Me, too. I wish we could go back so I could stop you from saving me that day in the Crashdown.

MAX: Don't say that.

MAX: Don't say that.

LIZ: Max, the day that you saved my life, your life just ended.

LIZ: It's when all this started. When you were exposed. We've just been buying time since then, haven't we? The day you saved my life, your life ended.

MAX: No, that was the day my life began. Liz, when I was in that room, and they did what they did to me. You're what kept me alive. The thought of you. The way your eyes look into mine. Your smile. The touch of your skin. Your lips. Knowing you has made me human. Whether I die tomorrow or fifty years from now, my destiny is the same: it's you. I want to be with you, Liz. I love you.

MAX: No. That was the day my life began.

LIZ: I wish I could believe that.

MAX: Liz, when I was in that room. When they did... what they did to me. You were what kept me alive. The thought of you. The way your eyes look into mine. Your smile. The touch of your skin. Your lips. Knowing you has made me... Human.

LIZ: But that's not your destiny, is it? To be human.

MAX: I'm choosing my destiny. Whether I die tomorrow or fifty years from now, my destiny is the same. It's you. I want to be with you, Liz. I love you.

LIZ: I love you. (They kiss.)

LIZ: I love you, too.
