Max: Sometimes you have to take a step back to see what’s really going on. Maybe that’s what we both really need to do right now… find our balance again.
Liz: You know, Max, I thought that… I thought that we’d found it.
Max: You don’t know how much I wish that could be true.

Liz: Max…how is it possible that I could be… I could be the happiest that I’ve ever been in my entire life… you know, and now the saddest all at… all at one time?

Max: So we’ll just take a step back… for a while.
Liz: Well, uh… you know, if that’s what… if that’s what you want, I…
