‘And I Like Talking With You Stalker’

Max: It's kinda awesome. Lucas: Huh? Max: The fog, I mean. Looks like the ocean. Lucas: You miss it? Max: What? Lucas: The ocean. The waves? California? Hawkins seems pretty lame, I bet. Max: No, no, no, it's not that. It's just... My dad's still there. So... Lucas: Why? Max: It's this legal term called "divorce." See, when two married people don't love each other anymore- Lucas: Yeah. Max: My mom and my stepdad, they wanted a fresh start away from him. As if... As if he was the problem, which is total bull. And things... are just worse now. My stepbrother's always been a dick, but now he's just angry... all the time and... Well, he can't take it out on my mom, so... Lucas: So he takes it out on you? Max: I don't even know why I'm telling you this. It's just... I know that I can be a jerk like him sometimes, and I do not want to be like him. Ever. I guess I'm angry, too, and... I'm sorry. Jesus! What's wrong with me? Lucas: Hey. You're nothing like your brother, okay? You're cool and different. And you're super smart. And you're, like, totally tubular. Max: [chuckles] Nobody actually says that, you know. Lucas: Well, I do now. Max: And it makes you seem really cool. Lucas: I like talking with you, Mad Max. Max: And I like talking with you, stalker.
