—Welcome To Hellfire—

Eddie and Max.

I wanted Eddie and Max, after realizing they’re practically neighbors, to start looking out for each other. I wanted Eddie to wave to Max when he sees her out feeding her dog, and for Max to wave to Eddie when he’s out smoking or working on his van. For Max to run out of her trailer one morning to see she’s missed the bus…only to have Eddie roll up blasting Metallica, crank down his window, and say “need a ride, Red?”.

I wanted Eddie, when he’s purging old cassettes out of his collection, to put a box together and bring it over to Max’s trailer, and subsequently get her into heavy metal (and Corroded Coffin). I wanted Eddie and Wayne to know what nights Max’s mom worked late, and invite her to dinner so she doesn’t have to eat alone. I wanted Eddie, when he notices the annoying RV couple talking shit about Max’s mom while Max is in the next yard over and can clearly hear everything, to walk directly up to them later and say “you have a problem with Max Mayfield, then you have a problem with me, understand? And that’s not something you want”. Eddie doesn’t think Max sees him do it or hears any of what he said, but when he knocks on her door a few nights later to invite her to weekly dinner, she bolts out of it and runs straight into his arms…and he knows.

Max Mayfield needed an older brother who wasn’t an asshole, and Eddie Munson always wanted a little sister.

Steve: *turns in swivel chair* care to tell me where you were?

Dustin: I was with... Uh... Eddie!
