This article is a script for Episode 3: Chaos Theory.
Blackwell Academy[]
Girls' Dormitories[]
Max's Room[]
It is nighttime at Blackwell Academy. Max is in her room; she has fallen asleep at her desk. Max gets a text notification on her phone, and the sound wakes her.
Max: Kate!
Max leans over and unlocks her phone. She has received a text from Chloe.
Chloe (SMS): I have something to show you
Chloe (SMS): meet me in front of campus
Chloe (SMS): get dat ass in gear NOW
Max: I knew Chloe would be all over this... So I better get moving.
Max puts her phone in her pocket and gets up from her desk.
Optional Conversation with Alice the Rabbit
Max: (thinking) Are you a hungry bunny? Here, nosh on this...
Max puts a small carrot in Alice's cage.
Max leaves her room to enter the hallway of the girls' dormitories.
Hallway[]
Max steps out of her room and closes the door behind her. All the lights in the hallway have been turned off.
Max: (thinking) Okay, this is scary dark. Let there be...
Max turns on the flashlight on her phone.
Showers[]
Max enters the showers and puts her phone back in her pocket because the lights are on in the bathroom. Taylor stands next to a sink brushing her teeth.
Optional Conversation with Taylor
Max approaches Taylor, who turns around to face her.
Taylor: Hey, Max...
(Saved Kate)
Taylor: I saw you go up on the roof and save Kate... I can't believe she tried to jump...
Comfort Taylor.
Max: I can. I'm just so glad she didn't. Are you okay?
Taylor: I'm just, like, shocked. I've never seen anybody try to kill themselves before...
Max: Me neither. I didn't think you'd be so upset considering how much shit you and Victoria gave Kate...
Taylor: I'm my own person, not Victoria's bitch. Hello, like, she's freaking too. She already broke curfew tonight. [gasps] Shit, I'm not supposed to tell anybody...
Won't say a word.
Max: I won't say a word. I swear to Dog.
(Max was friendly to Taylor)
Taylor: I believe you, Max. Besides Victoria, you're the only who asked me about my mom in the hospital. That meant a lot to me...
Max: I'm my own person, too. Let me know if you need anything.
Taylor: Thanks... You're, like, weird but pretty cool, Max. Especially after watching you go up on that roof. Victoria is wrong about you. Now I have to be alone for my nightly anxiety attack. Talk to you later...
(Max wasn't friendly to Taylor)
Taylor: I hope I can believe you, Max...
Max: I'm my own person, too. See you later.
Where did she go?
Max: Where did she go?
(Max was friendly to Taylor)
Taylor: I know I can trust you since you were so nice asking about my mom in the hospital, but Victoria will, like, make my life hell if I blab, okay?
Max: No doubt. I do hope your mother gets better. Let me know if you need anything.
Taylor: Thanks... You're, like, weird but pretty cool, Max. Especially after watching you go up on that roof. Victoria is wrong about you. Now I have to be alone for my nightly anxiety attack. Talk to you later...
(Max wasn't friendly to Taylor)
Taylor: My lips are like, sealed. Or Victoria will seal them for me.
Max: No doubt. See you later.
Victoria sneaking out. (after rewind)
Max: I know... Victoria must be upset since I saw her sneaking out of the dorm past curfew...
Taylor: Oh, man, like, you saw her? She was so, like, nervous when she left the dorm. She wouldn't even tell me where she was going.
Max: Probably to hell. Well, I have to go crash. (chuckles) It's been a rough day, as you know.
Taylor: Thanks, Max... And it was, like, pretty awesome when you went up to the roof to save Kate. Victoria was wrong about you. Now I have to be alone for my nightly anxiety attack. Talk to you later.
Blame Taylor.
Max: You should believe it! She almost jumped because you and everybody here bullied her!
Taylor: (shocked) What? You're, like, blaming me?
Max: As a matter of fact, yes.
Taylor: Then just get out of here! Like, stop fucking with me!
(Max was friendly with Taylor)
Taylor: I already told you that my mom is in the hospital.
(Max wasn't friendly with Taylor)
Taylor: I've got my own family shit to deal with.
Taylor: I'm done for the day.
(Kate committed suicide)
Taylor: I--I saw you go up on the roof to try to help Kate... I can't believe she jumped...
Comfort Taylor.
Max: I can. I just wish I could have stopped her... Are you okay?
Taylor: I'm just, like, numb. I... I've never seen anybody actually die...
Max: Me neither. I didn't think you'd be so upset considering how much shit you and Victoria gave Kate...
Taylor: I'm my own person, not Victoria's bitch. Hello, like, she's freaking too. She already broke curfew tonight. [gasps] Shit, I'm not supposed to tell anybody...
Won't say a word.
Max: I won't say a word. I swear to Dog.
(Max was friendly to Taylor)
Taylor: I believe you, Max. Besides Victoria, you're the only who asked me about my mom in the hospital. That meant a lot to me...

Max: Where did she go?
(Max was friendly to Taylor)
Taylor: I know I can trust you since you were so nice asking about my mom in the hospital, but Victoria will, like, make my life hell if I blab, okay?

Taylor: Thanks, Max. And I hope you're okay too. You were the only one who tried to save Kate. Victoria was wrong about you. Now I have to be alone for my nightly anxiety attack. Talk to you later.
Blame Taylor.
Max: You should believe it! She jumped because you and everybody here bullied her!
Taylor: (shocked) What? You're, like, blaming me?

(Max wasn't friendly with Taylor)
Taylor: I've got my own family shit to deal with.
Taylor: I'm done for the day.
Max leaves the bathrooms.
Max: (thinking) [sighs] Victoria isn't here... Maybe I'll just wait and bide my time...going through her shit.
Max enters Victoria's room.
Victoria's Room[]
Max opens the door to Victoria's room and goes inside. The lights in the room are all turned off, so Max uses the flashlight on her phone.
Max: (thinking) Since I've crossed the line from snoop to detective, I might as well search for clues about what really happened to Kate at the Vortex Club party.
Max searches Victoria's room. After finding nothing of importance, she leaves the room.
Max: (thinking) [sighs] Nothing to see here... I guess I shouldn't be so bummed. Not that Victoria couldn't hide her shit... Man, (chuckles) I'm getting paranoid.
Max enters Dana's room.
Dana's Room[]
Max enters Dana's room through the open door. Dana has the lights on and is sitting on her couch, looking distressed.
Optional Conversation with Dana
Max: (sympathetically) Hey, Dana... How are you doing?
(Saved Kate)
Dana: (sadly) Better than Kate... I just can't believe she would even attempt suicide...
We're all responsible.
Max: I think we're all responsible for what happened...
Dana: True...but you're the only one who went up to that roof with Kate.
I was lucky.
Max: I was lucky, that's all.
Dana: No girl, that was not luck. You made a choice to save her—like a superhero!
Max: Then maybe it's time to catch the bad guys...
Dana: So what exactly are you saying, Max?
(Nathan is suspended)
Dana: You think this has something to do with Nathan being expelled?
(David is suspended)
Dana: Do you think David Madsen is involved? He finally got his ass busted too.
(Jefferson is suspended from contest)
Dana: I know Jefferson got reamed by the Principal... Do you think they're involved?
(Max is suspended)
Dana: Does this have something to do with why you got suspended yesterday? Tell me the truth.
I'm not sure yet.
Max: I'm not sure yet, but I'm on it. Weird shit is going down at Blackwell, and I'm going to find out why.
Dana: I'm getting scared now... But people here are still sneaking out tonight...
Max: What? Like who?
Dana: Victoria bounced out of here earlier and now you, Sherlock?
Max: Not me. I need a break from today... Get some sleep too, Dana. I'll see you later.
It's complicated.
Max: It's complicated... I don't want to drag you into this, okay? Not yet, anyway.
Dana: I'm getting scared now... But people here are still sneaking out tonight...
Max: What? Like who?
Dana: Victoria bounced out of here earlier and now you, Sherlock?
Max: Not me. I need a break from today... Get some sleep too, Dana. I'll see you later.
Where was everybody?
Max: That was bullshit. Where was everybody else?
Dana: (guiltily) I know... You're a better person than any of us here... (normally) Hey, Max, I think I need to crash now. I'm just over everything today...
Why was she on the roof?
Max: So why do you think she was on the roof in the first place?
Dana: Maybe Kate was so ashamed she got wasted on that video... I don't blame her, but it was pretty gross.
Max: Come on! You really believe that Kate Marsh wanted to get drunk at a Vortex Club party?
Dana: So what exactly are you saying, Max?
(Nathan is suspended)
Dana: You think this has something to do with Nathan being expelled?
(David is suspended)
Dana: Do you think David Madsen is involved? He finally got his ass busted too.

Dana: Victoria bounced out of here earlier and now you, Sherlock?
Max: Not me. I need a break from today... Get some sleep too, Dana. I'll see you later.
It's complicated.
Max: It's complicated... I don't want to drag you into this, okay? Not yet, anyway.
Dana: I'm getting scared now... But people here are still sneaking out tonight...
Max: What? Like who?
Dana: Victoria bounced out of here earlier and now you, Sherlock?
Max: Not me. I need a break from today... Get some sleep too, Dana. I'll see you later.
She was depressed.
Max: I knew she was depressed, but...I had no idea how bad...
Dana: Must be serious to throw yourself off the roof...
Kate was serious.
Max: Kate was serious. But it's not all about that video...
Dana: So what exactly are you saying, Max?
(Nathan is suspended)
Dana: You think this has something to do with Nathan being expelled?
(David is suspended)

Max: Not me. I need a break from today... Get some sleep too, Dana. I'll see you later.
That's all you know?
Max: That's really all you know?
Dana: Like, why would I know anything else? And Max, it's not cool to treat me as if I'm some suspect. I have a fucking headache now, so please let me crash.
Why was she on the roof?
Max: So why do you think she was on the roof in the first place?
Dana: Maybe Kate was so ashamed she got wasted on that video... I don't blame her, but it was pretty gross.

Max: Not me. I need a break from today... Get some sleep too, Dana. I'll see you later.
Blame Victoria.
Max: Come on, don't blame yourself. There are other people involved. Like Victoria Chase.
Dana: (angrily) She definitely deserves a face-punch for pimping that video. (guiltily) I didn't do enough to step up!
Max: Now it's time for serious payback. In other words, revenge.
Dana: So what exactly are you saying, Max?
(Nathan is suspended)
Dana: You think this has something to do with Nathan being expelled?
(David is suspended)
Dana: Do you think David Madsen is involved? He finally got his ass busted too.

(Didn't save Kate)
Dana: (sadly) I just can't stop thinking about Kate...and if this is my fault too...
We're all responsible.
Max: I think we're all responsible for what happened...
Dana: Not you, Max...you were close to her...
It doesn't matter.
Max: Doesn't matter now. Kate's dead.
Dana: (angrily) Tell that to Victoria and the Vortex Club.
Max: Dana, there's more to this than just Victoria and the Vortex Club being mean.

She was depressed.

That wouldn't stop her.

Dormitories[]
Max: (thinking) So Chloe is waiting for me in front of the main hall.
Janitor room[]
Max: (thinking) Oh, it's unlocked! I hope Samuel isn't around...
Squirrel (optional photo)[]
While focusing with her camera...
Max: (thinking) Look at the lens and say "Nut!"
Principal Wells[]
Max: (thinking) Principal Wells... Are you serious? I'm toast if he sees me...
Principal Wells: Ah, fuck it! I'm sitting my ass down. Nobody can expel me! Not yet, anyway...
(Spotted while trying to sneak by)
Principal Wells: Miss Caulfield, you have to be stealthier than that. You are not supposed to be outside your dormitory at this hour. You know that.
(Max is suspended)
Principal Wells: Plus you're on a suspension.
(Saved Kate)
Max: I'm sorry, Principal Wells... I'm still tense after I thought Kate was going to jump today...
Principal Wells: No... no explanation. Seeing Kate come up on that roof... then seeing her come down with you... You saved her ass. Pff, maybe saved Blackwell. Now don't get cocky. Go on back inside. You earned good dreams.
(Didn't save Kate)
Max: I'm sorry, Principal Wells... I'm still upset about Kate...
Principal Wells: I'm sorry you had to go through that today. You tried to help, but goddammit... Blackwell is my responsibility and I... I let her and Kate down... Go on back inside, get some rest. It's been a shitty day. Good night, Max.
Max: (thinking) Great. So how do I get past him to meet Chloe?
Max rewinds and sneaks past Principal Wells before he turns around.
Max: (thinking) Max the Ninja strikes again!
Main Campus[]
Max walks along the path at the Main Campus.
Chloe: [jumps out at Max] BOO-YAH!
Max clutches her chest, looking shocked.
Chloe: Get it? BOO-yah? Like I'm a scary punk ghost...
(Saved Kate)
Max: More like a scary punk asshole. Hey, Chloe, I didn't exactly have the greatest day trying to keep my friend from jumping off the roof. I don't think I need you to prank me tonight, 'kay?
Chloe: Sorry, but you absolutely, balls-to-the-walls did save your friend!
Max: [sighs] Kate saved herself. I couldn't even use my power...my head felt like it was being crushed...then I had NO clue what to say to her on that roof...
Chloe: Don't be so modest, rock star. Kate is alive because of YOU. You obviously said the right thing. And your badass power is gonna save us all! We just...need to connect the players.
Max: And find out who almost killed Kate. [sighs]
(Didn't save Kate)
Max: More like a scary insensitive asshole. Chloe, I watched my friend jump off a roof today. I don't think you need to prank me tonight. You always trip out on me for not being there for YOU, but is this how you're there for me?
Chloe: I'm...I'm sorry, Max. I--I wasn't even thinking. (sighing) I suck.
Max: I'm not trying to be a bitch, but...I'll NEVER get the image out of my head of Kate jumping off that roof... All because my power didn't work... [scoffs] It didn't mean shit.
Chloe: I know seeing Kate fall was horrible. I don't even know how to deal with that, so I just...act like an idiot. But it's YOUR badass power that's gonna bring all this to a close. We just need to connect the players.
Max: And find out who really killed Kate.
Max: We have to stop this from happening to anybody else.
Chloe: Oh, yeah, and somehow stop that tornado from wiping out Arcadia Bay...right?
Don't joke.
Max: Please don't joke about this, Chloe. Not right now.
Chloe: Max, I'm not laughing at you. My old counselor told me that my sarcasm was a way of "avoidance." That's why he's my ex-counselor.
I hope so.
Max: I hope so, Chloe...but how? Snow and eclipse are bad omens.
Chloe: This whole town is a bad omen. And notice that Blackwell seems to be ground zero?
"Chaos Theory."
Max: Didn't you say that it was all about "Chaos Theory"? I don't see any control over this chaos...
Chloe: (sarcastically) Oh, right, except for your ability to--oh, yeah--manipulate time and space. No biggie.
Max: Chloe, I just feel weird about some of my decisions...
(Nathan is suspended)
Max: Especially after I just got Nathan expelled...
(David is suspended)
Max: Especially after I just got your step-bully suspended...
(Jefferson is suspended from contest)
Max: Especially after I just got Mr. Jefferson in trouble...
(Max is suspended)
Max: I mean, I even got my own dumb ass suspended...
(No one was suspended)
Max: Especially after I see the results... and then it's too late to rewind.
Chloe: Dude, do not even torture yourself like that. Let's focus on looking for clues, okay?
About Kate.
Max: Right. For one thing, there's too much coincidence between the people around Kate and Rachel.
Chloe: Like step-prick and Nathan Prescott?
Of course.
Max: Of course. They're both sociopaths.
Chloe: More like psychopaths.
(Max took the blame for Chloe / Max came out of hiding to intervene)
Chloe: At least David doesn't try to beat down women like Nathan...
Chloe: (angrily) The Blackwell security officer even hits his own stepdaughter...
Not just them.
Max: Not just them.
Chloe: Yep... I just wanna beat the shit outta those particular bros...
Chloe: (angrily) I can still feel David's hand on my face...
About Rachel.
Max: We need to find out more about who Rachel was involved with around here.
Chloe: [sighs] She was able to blend in with everybody. Even with people I hated.
Max: And even though I don't know her, it feels like Rachel is guiding us to the truth...
Chloe: Fuck the truth, I just wanna find my friend right now... It scares me to think where she could be... Do you think she's...?
Alive?
Max: Alive? I HAVE to think that, Chloe. Her spirit is SO powerful here...
Chloe: Maybe too much power...
Dead?
Max: Dead? I'm sorry. I hate even saying that, Chloe.
Chloe: Not as much as I hate thinking it.
Kicking it.
Max: Kicking it in Los Angeles? That would be the best-case scenario...
Chloe: She wouldn't leave without me, okay? And how often do missing girls turn up?
Chloe: Max, we have to find Rachel soon. We have to...
Max: I promise you we will. Like you said, it's time to start the search for clues. Now tell me, what's your secret?
Chloe: Drum roll, please... [holds up a pair of keys] I present the spare keys to Blackwell. Thank you, step-prick.
Max: You are such a boss, Chloe! (hesitantly) I just...don't want you to get into any more trouble...
(Max is suspended)
Chloe: Look at all the trouble dropping in Arcadia Bay. At this point, who gives a fuck anymore? You're suspended anyway, Max. Lead the way.
(Max is not suspended)
Chloe: Look at all the trouble dropping in Arcadia Bay. At this point, who gives a fuck anymore? We're in it to win it, Max. Lead the way...
Max and Chloe begin walking toward the school building.
Max: I'm so glad you're my partner in crime...
Chloe: As long as you're my partner in time.
Max: Insert groan here...
Victoria: (in background) Thank you again SO much for helping me put together a portfolio.
Max and Chloe hear Victoria and hide behind one of the boards on the main campus displaying Jefferson's photos.
Jefferson: Hopefully, the rest of the class will follow your lead. I'm sorry I was...distracted. As you know, it's not been a good day for Blackwell.
Victoria: I know this has been an awful day and you can talk to me anytime, Mr. Jefferson.
Jefferson: Thank you, Victoria.
(Saved Kate)
Jefferson: I'm glad it had a relatively happy ending.
Victoria: I don't know what I would've done if Katie jumped...
(Didn't save Kate)
Jefferson: I imagine...you're pretty upset over Kate as well...
Victoria: I'm, like, still in shock. I've never seen anybody die. I really cared about Katie.
Jefferson: "Katie"? I...had no idea you two were that close. Did she...?
Victoria: Well...how does this affect the Everyday Heroes contest?
(Jefferson is suspended from contest)
Jefferson: The contest will go on, I just won't be representing Blackwell at the event this year thanks to Max, who claims I enabled Kate Marsh's trouble by merely listening to her.
(Jefferson isn't suspended from contest)
Jefferson: It doesn't. The contest is still a-go and I still have to pick the winner to best represent Blackwell. I've got all the photos except one from...Max.
Victoria: I'll give you a one-word sneak preview of Max's photo: selfie. Listen...you've seen my entry, you know it's better than that. Wouldn't that be SO cool to hang out together in San Francisco, Mark?
(Jefferson is suspended from contest)
Jefferson: Stick to Mr. Jefferson, Victoria. I won't be going to San Francisco, remember?
(Jefferson isn't suspended from contest)
Jefferson: Stick to Mr. Jefferson, Victoria, please? And, uh...I haven't picked a winner yet.
Jefferson starts to leave, but Victoria grabs his arm and stops him.
Victoria: You already love my work, so it's not like you're playing favorites. Just imagine if you picked my photo, though...we would have to spend a LOT of time together... That could be...fun, don't you think?
Jefferson: I'm going to think that you didn't say any of that.
Victoria: You might as well choose me...otherwise I might have to tell people you offered to choose my photo for favors or something...
Jefferson: As a favor to your future, I'll also ignore that undisguised threat. This conversation is officially over, Miss Chase. I suggest you go back to your dorm now.
Victoria: Wait!
Jefferson starts to leave; Victoria reaches for his arm, but he continues walking away.
Victoria: I only...
Victoria holds her head in disappointment.
Victoria: [sighs] (to herself) Are you fucking kidding me?
Victoria walks past Max and Chloe on her way back to her dorm but doesn't notice them.
Victoria: (to herself) So stupid...
Max: Just when I think Victoria can't get ANY more evil...
Chloe: Shit is about to get real at Blackwell...
Max: Let's go find out.
Max grabs Chloe's hand and they leave their hiding spot. Chloe opens the door to the Blackwell hallway and they both enter.
Hallway[]
Max and Chloe enter the hallway. Max turns on the flashlight on her phone.
Max: Chloe the Keymaster.
Chloe: You know it.
Max: Dude, I don't know about this...we're both already in SO much trouble...
(Max took the blame for Chloe / Max came out of hiding to intervene)
Chloe: Not to mention the weed you brought into my room. Joking.
Chloe: You can always let me get busted like you did with the weed.
Max: I'm serious. We're not kids anymore. We're breaking and entering...
Chloe: If I have a key, how can it be breaking? They can't charge us for just entering!
Max: I'm serious. We could go to jail...
(David is on leave)
Chloe: Not when Blackwell's ex-head of security is at home crying in his basement bunker...
(David isn't on leave)
Chloe: Not if I'm related to the head of Blackwell security. Step-shit will not want me in the hands of the local police...
Chloe: So we better find out what's in the principal's office first. You can rewind if we get caught, right? You have mad powers, Max.
Chloe begins unlocking the door.
(Saved Kate)
Max: But my powers didn't save Kate... Maybe I did on my own...
(Didn't save Kate)
Max: Tell that to Kate...
Chloe unlocks the door and enters the room inside.
Chloe: Come on. One more door and our work here is done.
Max follows Chloe into the room. Chloe is attempting to unlock the second door.
Conversation with Chloe
Chloe: That's it! [looks down at the keys in her hand] What the fuck? The security officer should have the key to the principal's office!
Max: He's hiding shit. Like EVERYBODY here.
Chloe: Well, now we definitely have to get this door open. Believe it or not, I know a little about lock-picking...thanks to Frank. [crouches down near the door] I might as well test out my thief skill...
Chloe begins attempting to pick the lock on the door.
Max: Go for it. We're already in this deep...
Chloe: [turns toward Max] Well, you could look for the key...just in case.
Max: Why, yes, I could...
Max explores the surroundings but can't find the key to the office.
Max: No key for thee... We have to find another way in.
Chloe: Guess I didn't spend enough time with Frank... But I'll use my DIY lock-pick tools while you come up with a better plan.
Max: My plan has a name...
Max calls Warren on her cell phone.
Max: Hey, Warren, you busy? [Warren speaks inaudibly] Just bubble-hearth, you'll be okay. Listen, I need your physics expertise, stat. Without naming names, if somebody had access to the art and science labs and wanted to construct a device that would, say, open a locked door, would you maybe kinda know how? [Warren speaks inaudibly] Huh? No...I'm just asking for fun. [Warren speaks inaudibly] Thanks, Science Guy. [Warren speaks inaudibly] Uh, n-no, no, no, stay. We need you as backup. Just send the text instructions NOW. [Warren speaks inaudibly]
(Max accepted Warren's invitation)
Max: Yes, I'm still ALL-IN to "Go Ape" with you at the drive-in... Thanks for the help.
(Max declined Warren's invitation)
Max: I'm sorry, I'm just not sure about a movie night right now. Don't hate me... And thanks for the help.
Max hangs up.
Chloe: This sucks ass! Goddamn door! [punches the door]
Max: Try not to wake up everybody at Blackwell!
Max receives a text message from Warren with instructions.
Chloe: Sorry, Max, I got nothin'. What about your plan?
Max: I'm gonna go put it together. Can you stay here and not get caught?
Chloe: I might get on the other side of that door before you, Lupin.
Max: The race is ON. See you soon.
Max and Warren text each other about the instructions for building a pipe bomb. Max leaves the room to gather the four objects: sugar, a soda can, duct tape, and sodium chlorate.
Max: (thinking) Warren is such a classic nerd. Let's see if I can find those items...
Max approaches the vending machine, inserting a coin and pressing the button for soda.
Max: (thinking) Release the kra-can!
The soda can falls to the bottom slot and Max takes it.
Max: (thinking) It's all mine anyway...
Max: (thinking) [after getting first item] Only three more items to go!
Max enters the science lab.
Science Lab[]
Max: (thinking) Gross, I HATE that formalin smell...
Max can look at Warren's exam grade on the desk. Warren's grade will differ depending on how much Max helped him in the previous episode. Max has the option to increase his grade.
Max: (thinking) You deserve WAY more than this for taking on Nathan, but...every little grade counts...
Max takes the box of sugar from the end of the desk.
Max: (thinking) Ooh, sugar.
Max: (thinking) [after getting second item] You're halfway home, Max!
Warren texts Max to check if she's okay. Max responds that she needs to concentrate but will talk to him later.
Optional Photo
Max looks at the fish in the aquarium.
Max: (thinking) Everybody's asleep... I hate to wake them up, but...I want a picture.
Max turns on the light in the aquarium.
Max: (thinking) Good evening, fish-fish.
Max takes a picture of the fish with her camera.
Max: (thinking) Thanks, fish. Nice work.
Max can turn off the light in the aquarium.
Max: (thinking) Please resume your slumber.
Max approaches one of the desks in the back of the room. She looks at page of a science textbook talking about sodium chlorate. The book mentions that it is "commonly used as a weedkiller".
Max: (thinking) So sodium chlorate is...a weedkiller. [scoffs] You'd think Warren would've told me that factoid.
Max goes to the back of the science lab. She looks at the container of weedkiller on the top of one of the cupboards.
Max: (thinking) Here's the sodium chlorate box.
Max reaches her hand up to take the sodium chlorate, but withdraws it.
Max: (thinking) You know you're clumsy, Max. Don't waste your rewind power. Use the damn chair!
Max drags the chair over to the cupboard and steps up on it to take the sodium chlorate. Max returns the chair to its original position.
Max: (thinking) [after getting third item] Only one more ingredient left...
Max enters the the photography lab.
Photography Lab[]
Max: (thinking) This is like a scene in a horror film...
Max's Optional Comments About the Contest Pictures
Kate's entry
Max: (thinking) Oh, Kate...even when you were sad you tried to see the good in the world... Shit.
Victoria's entry
Max: (thinking) Victoria...that is pretty fucking sweet. How can I hate somebody that shoots like that?
Daniel's entry
Max: (thinking) Daniel's a better illustrator than photographer... [scoffs] (sarcastically) Said Max the art critic.
Nathan's entry
Max: (thinking) I feel gross even LOOKING at Nathan's work... (reluctantly) But he does have some style...
Max goes to the back left corner of the room and takes the duct tape next to the printer.
Max: (thinking) The tape is mine!
Max: (thinking) [after getting last item] Now it's time to show Chloe that Max is da bomb!
Conversation with Chloe
Max: [leans down and puts her hand on Chloe's shoulder] Take it easy on the door, Chloe. [she and Chloe stand up] Let's try this instead. [shows Chloe pipe bomb] Boom! Literally.
Chloe: Yes! Time to blow shit up!
Max attaches the pipe bomb to the door handle.
Max: If you'll light the candle...
Chloe: This is so cool!
Chloe leans down and uses her lighter to light the fuse on the pipe bomb. Max and Chloe back away from the door.
Max: Get ready to haul ass.
Max and Chloe run to the side and crouch down behind the desk. The bomb explodes and the door is blasted open.
Chloe: That...was so fucking cool!
An alarm goes off.
Max: Oh, we are toast! Here comes the whole Arcadia Bay Fire and Police Department!
Chloe: Uh, so what should we do?
Max enters the principal's office and rewinds to before she and Chloe blasted the door open.
Chloe: (from behind the door) If I can get this bastard open she can't cheat with her rewind... This is bullshit! Fuck you, door!
Max opens the door from the inside.
Principal's Office[]
Max: Welcome to my domain.
Chloe: You are magic! I have no clue how the hell you got in there, but you did it, sista! [grabs Max's arms, then lets go]
Max: The company I keep... Now, let's find what we want and beat it. My powers only go so far.
Chloe: Man, I can see why the principal locks this room up. Fancy faux art crap. He must want everybody to know he has money...but no taste.
Chloe approaches the principal's desk and turns on the lamp.
Chloe: How can you trust somebody who has a fucking bronze bird in his office? I'm glad I was expelled...
Max: (sarcastically) Yes, if only the principal had a Monet or Picasso you'd still be at Blackwell...
Chloe: Eat me. [starts searching the desk] I'm gonna pilfer the papers on this ugly-ass desk.
Chloe sits down in the chair behind the desk and leans back.
Chloe: Okay, sure, it's ugly, but damn, is it a cozy chair!
Chloe puts her feet up on the desk and swivels side to side in the chair.
Chloe: This is your chance to truly get all deductive 'n' shit, Sherlock! [takes feet off desk] Find us some clues about Rachel...or Kate...or Nathan...anybody!
Chloe begins searching the computer.
Max: I'm on the case.
Optional Conversation with Chloe
Chloe: Dude, I know I shouldn't be going through the Principal's files but it's kind of cool.
Revenge on Blackwell.
Max: Now's your chance to get revenge on Blackwell...
Chloe: Oh yeah, I'm so bummed I don't get to party with the Vortex Club.
Max: There's still time...
Chloe: Especially with you around, right?
Be careful.
Max: Just please don't accidentally delete his hard drive or anything.
Chloe: Like you can't rewind and fix it.
Max: I don't want to make it a habit, okay?
Chloe: Whatever, crackhead. You're hooked.
Max: Don't talk. Search.
Chloe: Oooh, I like it when you get bossy. You're finally learning from the master...
After searching through the files.
Max: (thinking) I think we found everything in here... I should go join Chloe now.
Chloe: Max, you better come check out these files...
Chloe: Nathan accused Rachel of bringing drugs on campus? And my step-troll went along because he thinks Rachel was a bad influence on me.
Chloe: Assholes.
Max: If David is teaming up with Nathan Prescott... That's a bad sign.
Chloe: "Nathan Prescott the Third." Oooh, he's so money. And you know the Prescotts dropped major bank to bury Nathan's real file... Look, it reads like a rap sheet---bad grades, teacher complains, secret probation... But I was expelled?
(Max blamed Nathan)
Max: At least Nathan was finally suspended. Check out that note... Open it.
(Max didn't blame Nathan)
Max: The Prescotts always get their money's worth...Check out that note. Open it.
Chloe: That's just some crazy drawing...
Max: It's not a drawing... look, "Rachel in the dark room... Rachel in the dark room..." Over and over. That's it.
Chloe: That's... fucked up. What does this even mean? Nathan is truly psychotic. I know he has something to do with Rachel missing...
Max: Whoa, listen to this, "David M. always asks what's going on in my head... David M. always helps me follow those he follows..." Pretty cryptic
Chloe: No, it sounds like they've formed some sort of weird team---"The Super He-Bros."
Max: Jesus, David was stalking Kate, hassling me, and now we know he was all over Rachel too...
Chloe: Oh, we are so going into his garage files... Plus I'm getting a little paranoid in here. We got our info, let's bail. But maybe we shouldn't leave without a gift...
Max: No, you are not taking the cozy chair.
Chloe: Max, do your powers include mind-reading?
Chloe: Or did you just rewind because I tried to steal the chair? Shit, I'm confused.
Max: It's the powers of best friendship. I know how you roll... We should definitely get out here. We pressed our luck enough.
Chloe opens a drawer underneath the computer and discovers an envelope.
Chloe: Hullo, what have we here? Holy shit, jackpot! Cha-ching!
Max: Wowser, that's a lot for the "handicapped fund."
Chloe: Dude, there's five thousand dollars here. I could pay Frank back tonight!
(Frank didn't take the gun)
Chloe: This will chill him out after you almost, you know, shot him.
(Frank took the gun)
Chloe: This will chill him out after our knife showdown yesterday...
Chloe: Are you going to make a big issue out of this? Or just rewind and take the greenbacks for yourself? I hope you do that instead of lecturing me.
LEAVE THE MONEY
Max: You really want to take money from the handicapped fund? I know you need to pay Frank back, but... I've got my power to protect you, right?
Chloe: There's a lot of power in that horse-choking wad of cash... [puts the money back in] but yes, Moral Max is right again. I guess... [gets up from the chair and turns off the lamp] Let's get the hell out of this office morgue.
Chloe leaves the principal's office.
Max: (thinking) I know that money would have helped Chloe and me...
STEAL THE MONEY
Max: Frank knows things about Rachel and he might talk if he's been paid... Right?
Chloe: You are SuperMax.
Chloe gets up from the chair and hugs Max.
Chloe: And with the leftover dough, I'll take you on a road trip to Portland for the day. We'll stock up on tats, beer, weed, and donuts.
Max: And books from Powell's.
Chloe: And strip clubs... Kidding! But you never know...
Chloe turns off the lamp and leaves the office.
Max: (thinking) I feel like shit for taking that money...
Max leaves the principal's office. Chloe is waiting for her near the door.
Max: That impish look scares me.
Chloe: Care for a midnight swim? The Blackwell pool is ours.
Max: Swimming? You want to take that risk now?
(Left the money)
Chloe: It's been a cray week. You didn't let me take that money to pay off Frank, so if he pops a cap in my skull at least allow me to have a little carefree fun for a few minutes... Splish splash?
(Stole the money)
Chloe: It's been a cray week, we deserve a little mindless fun in the water... We're done for the night anyway, we're rich, and nobody busted us. So, splish splash?
Max: You're right. We hella deserve it. Splish splash!
Chloe: Did you actually just say "hella"? I think I'm a good bad influence on you.
Max and Chloe exit the Blackwell building.
Swimming Pool[]
Max and Chloe enter the swimming pool building.
Max: We're in the Otters' lair!
Chloe: Big fucking deal. I want that heated water!
(Max was suspended)
Max: We still have to play it cool, okay? Even if I'm suspended.
(Max wasn't suspended)
Max: We still have to play it cool, okay? I still go to school here.
Chloe: You can own this hellhole once you figure out your rewind power...
Chloe walks slightly further into the corridor.
Max: (thinking) Chloe is so psyched for "girls' night out" so, I better follow her evil plan.
Max talks to Chloe.
Chloe: Boys or girls?
Boys' locker room.
Max: Boys, of course!
Chloe: Figures. Perv.
Girls' locker room.
Max: Girls, of course!
Chloe: Girls? Ooh la-la...
Chloe: Let me check to see if the pool's heated...
Chloe opens the door to one of the changing rooms and walks over to the pool.
Optional: Max enters the changing room and rewinds to before Chloe opened the door. She opens the door for Chloe and gestures inside.
Max: Presto!
Chloe: Dude, it's getting old! Try and dazzle me with another trick!
Chloe enters and walks over to the pool.
Optional Conversation with Chloe
Chloe: Max, try to find the light for the pool. I want to see the sharks!
Max: Otters don't like sharks. They bite.
Chloe: So do I... Hit that light!
Max enters the lifeguard's room and presses the light switch. Chloe, having taken off her clothes, jumps into the pool. Max approaches the pool and talks to Chloe.
(Left the money)
Chloe: Ohh yeah, baby! Feels like a hot tub! Too bad you made me feel like the Queen of Assholes because I wanted that cash stash...
(Stole the money)
Chloe: Oh yeah, baby! Feels like a hot tub! And with my cash stash I'm queen of the world! Bow!
Chloe: Tell me you're not going to stand there watching me like a zombie.
Max smiles. Chloe splashes water on Max.
Max: Don't you dare...
Chloe: Come stop me, hippie!
Max: Okay, you asked for it!
Max takes off her clothes and jumps into the pool.
Max: Cowabunga!
Chloe: Why look, an otter in my water! Duuuun dun, duuuuun dun, dun dun dun dun dun dun...
Max: You're so obvious. And I still get freaked out by that movie, so stop. I can't even watch any of those shark shows.
Max and Chloe start splashing water on each other.
Max: I'll just rewind and harpoon you. Otter's revenge!
Chloe: Cheater!
Max: Yeah, you would know about that!
Chloe lies on her back. Max does the same slightly later.
Chloe: I wish Rachel was here. She would totally love being in here at night. Wish you guys had met each other...
Max: We will. With all this stuff going on, I'm starting to think everything is related...
(Saved Kate)
Max: And I want to find out for Kate's sake. She almost died today...
(Couldn't save Kate)
Max: And I want to find out why for Kate's sake. She didn't deserve to die...
Chloe: Your power is changing everything, Max. Especially you. I can already tell. You're not so chickenshit anymore.
Max and Chloe swim towards the pool border.
Max: Thanks, girlfriend.
Chloe: You know what I mean. You're becoming like this force of nature.
Max: More like luck of nature. Come on, my power failed trying to rescue Kate... Maybe I'm just stumbling back and forth in time... for what reason?
Chloe: You didn't stumble when you saved me, Max.
What if I had?
(Saved Kate)
Max: Thank God. But... what if I had? What if? Kate didn't jump but you would be... dead...
(Couldn't save Kate)
Max: Thank God. But... what if I had? What if? You and Kate would both be dead...
Thanks to you.
Max: Not that time. But that's because you were there to kickstart my power...
Chloe: So it's time to start moving forward in time. And we're obviously connected since without me you would have never discovered your power, right?
Absolutely.
Max: Absolutely. You make me feel like I know what I'm doing...
Chloe: And you make me feel like I have a reason for still being in Arcadia Bay.
Max: I hope so...
I don't know.
Max: I don't know...
Chloe: Well I do, okay? So just listen to Captain Chloe.
Max: I'm trying. As long as we don't waste this power...
Chloe: Stop being so goddamn humble. You're like the smartest, most talented person I've ever known.
Max: More than Rachel Amber?
Chloe: Dude, I'm not her groupie, okay? And I'm sure you have Blackwell bros all over you—like Warren...
You're the bro killer.
Max: You're the bro killer. Tats and 'tude...
Chloe: You did not just say that. Plus I am not down with these Arcadia Bay hillbillies.
Max: I don't blame you... Anyway, we have bigger fish to fry, right?
Warren is nice...
Max: Warren is nice...
Chloe: [chuckles] Nice? Ouch. That means "Friendzone."
Max: No, he's really cool. It was so sweet when he stood up to Nathan... But I haven't told him about my rewind power...
Gross!
Max: Ew! I don't want any Blackwell bros over me. There's a couple cute guys there but they probably think I'm a total nerd.
Chloe: Uh, nerds are hot. You just don't have any confidence yet.
Max: Unfortunately, that didn't come with my rewind power...
Chloe: No worries. Once you get over yourself, you're going to make the world bow.
Max: As long as you're there with me...
Chloe: Don't look so sad. I'm never leaving you...
Max and Chloe swim away from the pool border.
Max: Now I'm getting cold in here.
Max and Chloe splash each other again.
Chloe: Because we're yapping instead of attacking each other, otter-versus-shark style... I think I've had my pool experience for the year, let's jet.
Max: Let's call it a draw. I'm gonna freeze my ass off when I get out...
The two girls get out of the pool and put their clothes back on.
Max: Gross, I feel like we just went swimming in Chlorine Bay.
Chloe: You look cute with your hair soaked in chemicals.
Max: Thanks, you would know...
A guard opens a door in the background.
Max and Chloe (to each other): Hide!
Chloe runs to the pool's entrance through the girls' locker room. Max runs to the same place through the boys' locker room. Max and Chloe try to exit the pool but are stopped an approaching guard.
(David is on leave)
Guard: Make sure you cover the whole perimeter!
An unknown guard opens the door and shines his flashlight into the empty space.
(David isn't on leave)
David: Make sure you cover the whole perimeter!
David opens the door and shines his flashlight into the empty space.
Max: Are you shitting me?
Max and Chloe run back into the pool rooms. Chloe hides between the lockers and a wall in the girls' locker room. Max has to hide among the shower stalls.
Guards' Comments About the Search
Guard: Better not try any Halloween pranks after today... I'm serious.
Guard: Hello?
Guard: Where are they?
Guard: I heard something over here.
Guard: Who's here?
Guard: I got a flashlight and a stick!
Guard: Anybody there?!
Guard: Hey!
Max goes back into the pool area. Chloe approaches Max from behind and they hug each other.
Max: We are so invisible!
Chloe: Let's bail!
Max and Chloe run out of the pool building into the parking lot. They try to reach the dorms but are stopped by a guard who is going towards them.
Max: Wait, turn around, they're coming! We have to find another way out!
Max and Chloe climb down and start walking along the wall.
Chloe: This is bullshit. You can't go back to your dorm now, you're a Blackwell fugitive! Crash at my place tonight.
(David is on leave)
Max: You want me to crash where the Blackwell security officer I just busted lives, so I'll be safe? Okay!
(David isn't on leave)
Max: You want me to crash where the Blackwell security officer lives so I'll be safe? Okay!
Max and Chloe start running towards Chloe's truck.
Chloe: Into the car!
Chloe enters her truck.
Chloe: Get in!
Max enters Chloe's truck. The girls drive away from Blackwell to Chloe's house.
Chloe: Hahaha! Later, fuckers! Max, you rock! We are so fucking awesome!
Max: Yes, we so are...
Chloe parks her truck in front of the house. Max and Chloe enter inside and climb to Chloe's room.
Madsen Household[]
Upstairs[]
Max and Chloe are lying on Chloe's bed. Max wakes up and looks at Chloe.
Max: (thinking) Always remember this moment.
Max takes her camera from the floor to take a selfie. Chloe wakes up as well.
Chloe: Photobomb!
Max: Photo-hog!
Max takes a selfie with Chloe.
Max: It feels like a different world from yesterday...
Chloe: We left a skid mark on Blackwell last night.
Max: Like it needs another one. I'd like to do something good for my school and Arcadia Bay. I can't even submit my photo to represent... I just don't want to be rejected.
Chloe: Every great artist gets rejected before they get accepted. So you have to enter a photo.
Max: Even though I'm pimping the school and town you want to torch?
Chloe: Come on, I don't want to see Arcadia Bay burned to the shore, I just say shit like that because I've been trying to get out of here since—since you left, basically. If I could find Rachel, then pay Frank off, I'm still leaving to start a whole new life...
Chloe grabs the remote control for her Hi-Fi and turns on the music.
Max: Wish we could just hang out all morning like we used to... Maybe we should get up, I have to get back to Blackwell soon.
(Max is suspended)
Chloe: No, you don't. You're suspended, criminal.
Max: Nobody suspended my homework. If I don't turn it in, the school will contact my folks again. And Max gets in more trouble.
(Max is not suspended)
Chloe: Oh, does the schoolgirl have a test today?
Max: I'm starting to feel like going to Blackwell every day is a test. I just need to get on my regular school schedule again.
Optional Conversation with Chloe on the Bed
Chloe: I am so wiped out from last night. But it was awesome.
Max: I have to ponder what kind of criminal I've become.
Chloe: Last night was only the tip of the iceberg.
Max: I have to admit, it was pretty cool to take over the Blackwell gym.
Chloe: Today the gym, tomorrow the world. We need to step it up.
Max: We still have to be careful how I use my power... I don't want to get stuck in time.
Max gets up.
Max: (thinking) Okay, I need to get dressed now.
Optional Conversation with Chloe
Max: I love this morning light, it's so peaceful...
Chloe: Wouldn't it be wicked if we could just hang out here forever like when we were kids?
Yes.
Max: Yes, but... sadly we're not kids anymore.
Chloe: At least you can date now, right? My dad was terrified of the day I would discover boys.
Did you have a boyfriend?
Max: So... you never really told me if you had a serious boyfriend while I was away...
Chloe: Not serious. Hella stupid, usually. I went through a "boy toy" phase. Among other things...
Max: I can't see you with any of the guys around here...
Chloe: Because you have a good eye. That's why I was so glad Rachel came along to rescue me.
You crushed on Rachel?
Max: Sounds like you totally crushed on Rachel.
Chloe: You would have too. Smart, sexy and sassy... Like me, right?
Max: Well, duh! Maybe Rachel would have fought over both of us.
Chloe: You wish! Then again, maybe... you're a photographer and she wanted to be a model.
Was Rachel that popular?
Max: Was Rachel that popular with everybody here?
Chloe: She blended like a chameleon. Clearly more than I knew... or wanted to know...
Max: You knew that she wanted to go to Los Angeles with you.
Chloe: Then where is she?
Boys are trouble.
Max: As Blackwell proves, boys are trouble.
Chloe: And way fucking gross. As you'll discover soon enough.
Max: Oh okay, Woman of the World. Please tell me what it's like to get that first magic kiss!
Chloe: Sorry, sorry. Didn't mean to get you all worked up. I just don't think anybody is good enough for you... besides me.
Like Rachel? (after "No" and rewind)
Max: Yep. I bet you and Rachel liked hanging out here too...
Chloe: You know it. She reminded me of you when we faked sleep so our parents wouldn't make us get up too early Saturday morning...
Max: Did you guys have a lot of sleepovers?
Chloe: As many as possible. But it was more fun at her place. Step-commando wanted us up at the ass-crack of dawn... It's cool to be back here with you.
No.
Max: No, too easy. And there's too much shit going on now...
Chloe: Oh, okay, Queen of the World. I'll try not to remind you of when we were besties anymore. Rachel loved hanging out with me here, she would have understood... Forget it.
Max looks at her clothes.
Max: Ew. Still reeks like a chlorine factory.
Chloe: See if you can find a suitable outfit in my fashion hole.
Max opens the closet.
Max: Okay, time for some Chloe cosplay...
Chloe: Hey, there you go! Rachel left a bunch of her clothes with me... She's your size.
Max: But not quite my style.
Chloe: Max, you don't have a style yet. At least give it a try. You can always rewind back to your chlorine brand T-shirt and generic jeans.
Max: You suck. I like my shirt and jeans... but it would be cool to try on Rachel's clothes, just to see if they fit.
Chloe: Stop second-guessing yourself, Max! Put this on and let your inner punk-rock girl come out! You can afford to take chances! Whenever and whatever you want to try... for example, I dare you to kiss me!
Max: What?
Chloe: I double dare you. Kiss me now.
KISS CHLOE
Max leans forward and kisses Chloe. Chloe backs away in surprise.
Chloe: Damn, you're hardcore, Max! Now I can text Warren and tell him he doesn't stand a chance... unless he's into girl-on-girl action.
Chloe returns to her bed.
Max: You are such a dork.
Max: (thinking) Oh man, that was priceless when I kissed Chloe. She didn't think I would...
DON'T KISS CHLOE
Max: Sorry, not that easy.
Chloe: Oh, like I am? Just admit that you already macked on me then used your rewind! Now I can text Warren that you're saving yourself all for him...
Chloe returns to her bed.
Max: I am so going to best unfriend you for that.
Max: (thinking) I love that Chloe is so fearless...
Optional Conversation with Chloe
(Kissed Chloe)
Chloe: You better not rewind and take that kiss back. You know I'm hotter than those Seattle art-holes, right?
(Didn't kiss Chloe)
Chloe: I bet you totally used your rewind to mack on me just so you could act like you didn't... Come on girl, confess!
Max puts on Rachel's shirt and jeans. She then stands in front of Chloe.
Chloe: Lookin' sick, Max. A couple tats, some piercings and we'll make a thrasher out of you yet.
Max: Ready for the mosh pit, shaka brah.
Chloe: Maybe not. Go on down and say hi to Joyce. Free breakfast! I have to, er, wake 'n' bake first.
Max: I promise not to tell.
Chloe: Let's not rewind and find out, 'kay?
Max exits Chloe's room.
Max: (thinking) Oh my God, that smells so amazing... It's like when we were kids here.
Max goes downstairs.
Downstairs[]
Optional: Max plays the phone message.
Officer Corn: David, this is Officer Corn... Just wanted to let you know your stepdaughter's car was identified near the Blackwell campus last night around the time of the break-ins... Give me a call soon...
Joyce: What!? Are you in trouble again, Chloe? Don't you sleep?
(Max decides to delete the message)
Answering machine: Message deleted.
Max speaks to Joyce, who is cooking a meal in the kitchen.
Max: Good morning, Joyce...
Joyce: Rachel! Uh... I—I mean, Max... Whew, you startled me. You fit those clothes well. Thank God you're not a hellraiser like her or Chloe. Now tell me exactly what you want to chow on.
Pancakes.
Max: I'm dying for some of your famous pancakes.
Joyce: I thought you would have missed those. You ate more than William, and he loved them...
Max: I remember. We would race each other to grab them from the stack.
Joyce: So this time you can help me with the ingredients. I need you to grab me the eggs and milk.
Max: (thinking) Eggs and milk, no problemo.
Max: (thinking) "The eggs always come first," as Joyce used to say...
Max takes the milk from the living room table.
Max: (thinking) Now for the mother's milk...
Eggs and bacon.
Max: Eggs and bacon all the way.
Joyce: Remember when you guys would sleep in until I yelled out, "Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey!"
Max: Totally. We'd wake up so fast.
Joyce: So this time you can help me with the ingredients. I need you to grab me the actual eggs and the bacon.
Max: (thinking) I can handle eggs and bacon.
Max takes the eggs from the kitchen
Max: (thinking) "The eggs always come first," as Joyce used to say...
Max takes the bacon from inside the fridge.
Max: (thinking) I should evolve and become a vegan but... Huh, bacon.
Max gives the ingredients to Joyce.
Joyce: Thanks... After all these years and everything that's happened, it's great to see you and Chloe together again. She hasn't had a good friend since you or Rachel... Those clothes remind me so much of her. Such a sweet girl. I'm just hoping she's living large in L.A.
Max: I'd love to think that too, Joyce. But...
Joyce: We're on the same page, Max. I keep hoping that Rachel will show up or even send a message to Chloe from Hollywood... or wherever she is...
Rachel in trouble.
Max: I hate to even think this, much less say it out loud... but I think Rachel is in serious trouble.
Joyce: I know. I watch those awful true crime shows and it makes me ill if I think about Rachel ending up on one... So I don't think too much.
Max: I see why Chloe is so obsessed with finding her...
Is Rachel okay?
Max: Be honest, Joyce... do you think Rachel is okay?
Joyce: God, I hope so. She was—is smart and she always landed on her feet. Maybe I don't know her as well as I thought... Maybe Chloe doesn't either.
Max: Sometimes I feel like I don't know Chloe as well as I thought...
Was Rachel mad at Chloe?
Max: Is there any reason that Rachel might be mad at Chloe and left without her?
Joyce: Chloe could piss everybody off but her. They were almost joined at the head. Reminded me of you and Chloe... But Rachel wasn't as grounded as you.
Max: I'm grounded? Since when? Maybe that's why Chloe likes Rachel so much...
Joyce: Max Caulfield, are you actually jealous of Rachel?
Maybe.
Max: Maybe. Rachel was so much cooler than me...
Joyce: You think? Then why has Chloe been telling me she wishes she could be more like you over the past five years?
Max: Doubt it. Uh... did she really? Five years ago feels like a thousand now...
No way.
Max: What? No way. I know I was selfish when I left. I'm glad Chloe found a better friend.
Joyce: No, just a different one. Last time I saw you and Chloe in your pirate outfits I knew she would never find a better friend.
Joyce: I just wish you could have stopped Chloe from getting busted by David for that joint.
Max: I know...
(Took the blame/Came out to intervene)
Joyce: And when you took the rap for that joint, you proved it.
Max: Thanks...
Max: But it seems like Chloe and me were pirates a thousand years ago...
Joyce: And that makes me, what, a century old? You're only 18, Max. Ah, youth... if only I could go back...
Max: It's not all that, Joyce...
Joyce: Voila, a breakfast fit for us queens... and a king. Go sit at the table.
Max sits at the living room table and waits for breakfast. Joyce bring the plate a few seconds later.
Max: Thank you so much, Joyce. I'm never leaving this table.
Joyce: Good. You can clean.
Max eats her breakfast. Joyce comes at the table a minute later and bring the Prices' photo album with her.
Joyce: Seeing you again... ahh, made me remember so much...
Joyce puts the album on the table.
Joyce: I know these photos don't measure up to your work, Max...
Max: My favorite photographers probably take pictures similar to yours. You make David happy, Joyce.
Joyce: He wants us all to be happy, Max. He's just not great at showing it.
Max sees a photo of Rachel wearing the same shirt Max is wearing at the moment.
Max: Uhh, I don't think I can rock this outfit like Rachel...
Joyce: You have your own cool style.
Max sees a photo of her and Chloe cooking pancakes in 2008.
Max: Wowser, I totally remember that day...
Joyce: I'm glad... William took this picture with his instant camera. It was the last picture he ever took... He had his car out right after this and—and...
Max: I know, Joyce. I'm sorry...
Joyce: I didn't show you this to be morbid. In fact, I want you to have this... This was when my baby was so full of life and light. She was hopeful, positive... everything she's not today. And this was the last time I ever saw Chloe truly happy.
Joyce gives the photo to Max. Chloe comes downstairs and enters the living room.
Chloe: Did you guys have a bonding session about how fucked up I am?
Max: It's not always about you...
Joyce: Chloe, please. It's too early to start picking a fight. Eat instead.
Chloe: I'll keep the warden busy while you go peek in the garage.
Joyce: Now stop whispering or I'll know you're talking about me.
Chloe: Stop being so nosey, mother. Jeez, I can't do anything around here without everybody getting up in my shit...
Joyce: No one can even joke with you, Chloe, you fly off the handle like that...
Max: Excuse me, I have to use the bathroom.
Chloe: Sure, run off and pee when you should back me up.
Joyce: Now who's being paranoid? Just listen to yourself...
Chloe: Nobody else does!
Max enters David's garage.
Max: (thinking) I do need to get into David's computer. He's gotta be hiding shit.
Max tries to unlock David's computer.
Max: (thinking) No shit it needs a password... How about "stepdouche"... Try again! I need more clues...
Max searches David's garage for password hints. She finds a receipt from the Two Whales Diner behind the visor of David's car.
Max: (thinking) Joyce might as well have wrote "Let's get married."
Max looks at the other side of the receipt.
Max: (thinking) That might be a useful password...
Max enters the password into David's laptop and successfully unlocks it.
Max: (thinking) Score! Max the Hacker strikes again!
Max examines the profiles of Rachel, Kate and herself on David's computer.
Max: (thinking) I better tell Chloe about this now... Just one more thing to make her sad. And mad.
Max approaches Chloe. At the same time, David enters the house.
David: Nice breakfast.
Joyce: David, you're back already?
(David is on leave)
David: That's what happens when you lose your job as head of Blackwell security.
Joyce: What happened?
David: What you would expect to happen in this P.C. college bullshit age—the Principal takes the words of lying stoned students over a veteran and law professional.
Joyce: Ugh, again? This isn't the first time you've gotten in trouble there...
David: Well, now it's the last time. I'll get a lawyer to sue their ass.
(David isn't on leave)
David: I have to take a nap after writing up vandalism reports last night.
Joyce: What happened?
David: Some little shitass punks broke in to the swimming pool. This is what happens at these P.C. bullshit colleges. Entitled students taking over the campus!
Joyce: Do you know for sure it was Blackwell students?
David: Who else would do it? And I'm going to bust them.
David turns to Max.
David: Figures you'd be here. Is that your Rachel Amber Halloween costume?
Max: You know more about her than me!
(Max is suspended)
David: Must be nice to be suspended and have some free time off Blackwell.
(Max isn't suspended)
David: No, you and Chloe think you know more than anybody. Like all teenagers.
(David is on leave)
Joyce: Leave Max alone, David. I can't believe you got fired—no, of course I can believe you got fired. Did you threaten some poor student with the stockade?
(David isn't on leave)
Joyce: Leave Max alone, David. Stop threatening students.
Chloe: He threatens them with surveillance cameras. So he can spy on everybody... like he spies on all of us here.
David: Don't start, Chloe.
Chloe: Yeah, I'm just always starting shit, right? You're a total paranoid, David.
David: Not now, Chloe.
Chloe: You used to call me a loser for getting kicked out of Blackwell... So who's the loser now, David? Who haven't you accused or harassed? Between your investigations into Rachel and Kate, what have you done besides get in trouble?
SIDE WITH DAVID
Max: Listen, we don't know that David did anything and nobody has any proof against him. As far as we know, it's Nathan Prescott who's the real threat so far. I would cut David slack here...
Chloe: Oh would you? How generous, King Max. So suddenly it doesn't matter how shady David has been acting, or that he keeps all those weird files on your classmates, or how you're always going off on how creepy David—
Joyce: Enough! I don't want anybody being accused of anything. There's been too much of that crap going on around here lately and I don't want it in my home today.
David: Well, I agree with that. Now if you all don't mind, I'd like to forget about work and sit down, and eat some of this incredible grub...
Chloe: I have to take a dump. Are you coming, Max?
David and Joyce sit at the table. Chloe goes towards the front door of the house.
Max: (thinking) Maybe I went too easy on David for Joyce's sake...
Optional Conversation with David
David: Thanks again for defending me, Max. But this is my family now.
Optional Conversation with Joyce
Joyce: Max, I appreciate you sticking up for David... and our family. Even if Chloe doesn't.
Optional Conversation with Chloe
Chloe: Thanks for letting me down again, Max. Why can't you just rewind so I don't have to see you defending that asshole?
SIDE WITH CHLOE
Max: You're a bully, David. I saw you harass Kate Marsh when she was going through hell. You could have totally helped her. Everybody at Blackwell is a suspect to you, except for Nathan Prescott... That's why the students and faculty don't like you. You even hit your stepdaughter. I do respect your service, but you don't respect anybody.
David: Chloe was doing drugs. That's illegal.
(Took the blame/Came out to intervene)
Max: You're a bully, David. I saw you harass Kate Marsh when she was going through hell. You could have totally helped her. Everybody at Blackwell is a suspect to you, except for Nathan Prescott... That's why the students and faculty don't like you. You even threatened me. I do respect your service, but you don't respect anybody.
David: Uh... you were smoking pot in Chloe's room. That's illegal.
Max: So is spying on people in your family and at your work. Why do you have photos of Kate Marsh and Rachel Amber in your files anyway?
Joyce: What? Is this true, Max? Yes, David, why do you have these files at all? I find this very disturbing.
David: I do not have to take this kind of interrogation. Not from you punks!
Joyce: Maybe you should calm down...
David: Oh, you're turning on me now? Of course, women always stick together. Well, screw you!
Joyce: David... you better go to a hotel until we figure this out...
David: You can't kick me out of my own home!
Joyce: It's my home, David. Paid for and in my name. You know the law, right?
David: I thought I knew a lot of things... like when I'm outflanked.
Chloe: Have a nice day.
Joyce: Chloe, for once... just please shut up.
David goes to the door leading to the backyard. Joyce sits at the table. Chloe goes towards the front door of the house.
Max: (thinking) I hope Joyce doesn't hate me for tearing into David...
Optional Conversation with David
David: I don't want to see or hear you again, Max. You've hurt me and my family enough.
Optional Conversation with Joyce
Joyce: Max, don't beat yourself up. David earned this all by himself, understand?
Optional Conversation with Chloe
Chloe: Max, that gave me chills. And you better not rewind this one!
Max and Chloe exit Chloe's house and drive towards the Two Whales Diner.
Diner[]
Max: Listen, when I went through David's laptop, I found pictures of Rachel and Frank... being more than friends.
Chloe: Right. No way, Max. She was just posing to tease Frank.
Max: If you're not gonna believe me, why don't we check out what Frank has in his RV?
Chloe: What's that gonna prove?
Max: Frank has Rachel's bracelet. What else does he have in there?
Chloe: Motherfucker better not have anything. For his sake.
Frank is eating breakfast inside the diner. Chloe parks the car.
Chloe: Let's check the door. Frank gets so wasted he sometimes forgets to lock it.
Max and Chloe approach the RV.
Max: I can't believe you hung out with him.
Chloe: Not anymore. We have to be casual ninjas here...
Chloe tries the door; it is locked, and Pompidou begins barking from inside.
Chloe: Shitballs. Okay, here's the plan. I'll go to the diner and distract Frank by telling him I have his money, but he needs to come with me. Then you come in and rewind so Frank doesn't see me, then you can tell Frank he needs to check out his RV and then you rewind after you get the key, and... uh... and...
Max: Chloe, I got this. Be right back.
Max walks towards the diner.
Chloe: Don't let my epic plan get in the way of yours. I'll try to scrounge up a Scooby snack to distract his mangy mutt...
Max: (thinking) Now to find a quick and easy way to snag Frank's keys.
Max receives a text message from her father.
(Saved Kate)
Dad (SMS): Maxine. Pop here. I'm sorry I haven't gotten in touch sooner. I know your mom is very proud of you for saving that girl. As am I. We have no doubt sending you to Blackwell was the best thing you ever demanded we do :) It makes us so proud to read about you in the news and see actual video of you walking down from the roof with that girl.
(Didn't save Kate)
Dad (SMS): Maxine. Pop here. I'm sorry I haven't gotten in touch sooner. I know you're upset but your mom and I know you did everything you could to save that girl. Some things are just out of our control.
(Max was suspended)
Dad (SMS): That said, we are very concerned about your suspension. I'd prefer to talk in person. Maybe it's time to review your plans for the future. Your mother and I think you should come home and search for a local high school here.
Love, Pop
(Max wasn't suspended)
Dad (SMS): And if you want to come back home now to relax and maybe go to a high school around here, the door is wide open.
Love, Pop
Max (SMS): Thanx Pop. It's been intense here. But I'm not ready to come home. Talk later. Maxoxo
Optional Conversation with Fisherman[]
Max: Good morning! How are the fish today?
Fisherman: Don't ask. First the snow, then an eclipse... What's next, a tornado?
Climate change.
Max: You don't think it could be like climate change or something?
(Max blamed Nathan)
Fisherman: The climate sure has changed around here. Just saw that Prescott brat having a fit by himself in the parking lot...
Max: Isn't he always having a fit?
Fisherman: He ain't the only one. If you knew what was going on with the fish around Arcadia Bay... Sorry, I'm too pissed to talk about it. See ya around, kid.
(Max didn't blame Nathan)
Fisherman: I'm a fisherman, no scientist. I know the sea is warming but this is something new... and maybe worse.
Max: What do you mean "worse"?
Fisherman: If you knew what was going on with the fish around Arcadia Bay... Sorry, I'm too salty to talk about it. See ya around, kid.
I hope not.
Max: I hope not...
Fisherman: Could be worse, we could get one of those California quakes.
Max: True... well, I'm feeling a little dizzy now. Hope you catch the big one today!
Fisherman: I better... too late to switch careers now. See ya around, kid.
Fish. ("Climate change," then rewind)
Max: I heard that something bad was happening to the fish in Arcadia Bay...
Fisherman: Well, since you mentioned it first... There ain't no fish in Arcadia Bay!
Max: What? Come on... None?
Fisherman: None worth catching and eating anymore... I'm not shitting you. Salmon, trout, bass have died and migrated. Even the damn clams are dying...
Max: Oh my God... but what about...
Fisherman: Sorry, I'm too salty to talk about it. See ya around, kid.
Optional Conversation with Trucker (optional photo)[]
Max: Hey, how's it going?
Trucker: Peachy. Interview over.
Bad day?
Max: Having a bad day at the office?
(Max damaged the railroad tracks)
Trucker: Some punks messed with the train tracks and now I have to wait for three days until I get my cargo. Time is money for a guy like me.
Max: Uh... oh yeah, that sucks...
(Max didn't damage the railroad tracks)
Trucker: Work has dried up around here and I have bills to pay. Time is money for a guy like me.
Max: That sucks.
(Saved Kate)
Trucker: Wish I could drive right out of Arcadia Bay. The whole town is crumbling—snow, eclipse, and a slut trying to commit suicide...
Max: Maybe you should leave then.
Trucker: Would if I could. Hell, even that shifty Rachel what's-her-face once asked me if I'd drive her to Los Angeles...
(Didn't save Kate)
Trucker: Wish I could drive right out of goddamn Arcadia Bay. The whole town is crumbling—snow, eclipse, that slut suicide...
Kate's not a slut.
Max: Listen, Kate Marsh was not a slut. She was severely depressed for good reasons. You didn't even know her, did you?
Trucker: I know all these Blackwell spoiled shits. Like that other loser I'd see around here... Rachel.
You should leave.
Max: Maybe you should leave then.
Trucker: Would if I could. Hell, even that shifty Rachel what's-her-face once asked me if I'd drive her to Los Angeles...
Max: You knew Rachel Amber? Can you tell me about her?
Trucker: Nope. Christ, why don't you get a real job instead of homework? I'd love to see you Blackwell turds try to drive my 1977 Needham eighteen-wheeler out there! Like I said, interview over.
Worst interview.
Max: Worst. Interview. Ever.
(Max damaged the railroad tracks)
Trucker: Some punks messed with the train tracks and now I have to wait for three days until I get my cargo. Time is money for a guy like me.
Max: Uh... oh yeah, that sucks...
(Max didn't damage the railroad tracks)
Trucker: Work has dried up around here and I have bills to pay. Time is money for a guy like me.
Max: That sucks.
(Saved Kate)
Trucker: Wish I could drive right out of Arcadia Bay. The whole town is crumbling—snow, eclipse, and a slut trying to commit suicide...
Max: Maybe you should leave then.
Trucker: Would if I could. Hell, even that shifty Rachel what's-her-face once asked me if I'd drive her to Los Angeles...
(Didn't save Kate)
Trucker: Wish I could drive right out of goddamn Arcadia Bay. The whole town is crumbling—snow, eclipse, that slut suicide...
Kate's not a slut.
Max: Listen, Kate Marsh was not a slut. She was severely depressed for good reasons. You didn't even know her, did you?
Trucker: I know all these Blackwell spoiled shits. Like that other loser I'd see around here... Rachel.
You should leave.
Max: Maybe you should leave then.
Trucker: Would if I could. Hell, even that shifty Rachel what's-her-face once asked me if I'd drive her to Los Angeles...
Max: You knew Rachel Amber? Can you tell me about her?
Trucker: Nope. Christ, why don't you get a real job instead of homework? I'd love to see you Blackwell turds try to drive my 1977 Needham eighteen-wheeler out there! Like I said, interview over.
1977 Needham. (after rewind)
Max: Actually, I wanted to ask if that's your bitchin' 1977 Needham eighteen-wheeler out there.
Trucker: How the hell did you know that?
Blackwell class.
Max: I took a Blackwell class on the history of... truckers. I always wanted to drive a rig on the road.
Trucker: Finally, a Blackwell student with brains. Next time I get a local job, I'll let you ride along. Take care.
Rachel Amber.
Max: My friend Rachel Amber told me about this cool rig in town because I love taking pictures of truckers.
Trucker: You knew Rachel? She sure didn't give a rat's ass about truckers... or real work.
Max: Oh, so you must have known her too?
Trucker: Only from the diner. She was just a gold digger—she belonged in California with all those... you know whats... good riddance. But you can take pictures of my truck anytime. Take care.
Optional photo
Max sees a dead bird encircled by ants beside the diner.
Max: (thinking) Look at that... so sad, disturbing, and beautiful at once... what an amazing shot.
Max bends down to take a photo.
Max: (thinking) So ominous...
Optional Conversation with Homeless Lady[]
Max: Hi, how are you?
(Talked to her in previous episode)
Homeless Lady: I remember you...
(Didn't talk to her in previous episode)
Homeless Lady: Well, I'm homeless. Otherwise, yeah, fantastic. Who are you?
Max: Max. Can I get you something from the diner?
(Max saved Kate)
Homeless Lady: I heard about that girl almost jumping off the Blackwell roof...
(Max couldn't save Kate)
Homeless Lady: I heard about that girl killing herself at Blackwell...mm, awful thing.
Kate.
(Max saved Kate)
Max: Kate Marsh. I was able to actually talk her down from the roof...
Homeless Lady: That was you? If I had a bottle, cheers.
(Max is suspended)
Max: Thanks. Still didn't stop me from getting expelled from Blackwell.
(Max isn't suspended)
Max: Thanks. Wish I had a bottle for you.
(Max couldn't save Kate)
Max: Kate Marsh. I was with her... when she jumped... I tried to save her. I swear I did.
Homeless Lady: Oh honey, that was her choice, not yours. Don't you carry that weight.
Too late.
Max: Too late... and I had the power to change things.
Homeless Lady: The more power you think you have, the less you do.
I know.
Max: I know... I'm starting to see that I can't change everything...
Homeless Lady: Especially when it comes to other people...
Homeless Lady: Kate Marsh probably felt like she had nothing no more... I know the feeling.
Max: But I need to find out who else is involved in this.
Homeless Lady: I'm probably a bigger snoop than you. People pretend to not see me, so I see everybody. And everything.
Rachel and Kate.
Max: I think...it's all connected to Rachel Amber's disappearance.
Homeless Lady: A lot of things in Arcadia Bay are connected to Rachel...
Sad week.
(Max is suspended)
Max: It's been a sad week. Doesn't even matter that I got expelled from Blackwell...
Homeless Lady: Maybe you're better off.
(Max isn't suspended)
Max: It's been a sad week at Blackwell...
Homeless Lady: It's a sad world, Max.
Homeless Lady: But you're so damn young. Oh, if I could go back and be your age again...
Max: I truly wish I could help you.
(Talked to her in previous episode)
Homeless Lady: You did the last time you talked to me... Now you look like you could do with help of your own.
(Didn't talk to her in previous episode)
Homeless Lady: You look like you could do with help of your own.
Max: Just to find some answers...
Homeless Lady: I'm probably a bigger snoop than you. People pretend to not see me, so I see everybody. And everything.
Nathan.
Max: Including Nathan Prescott?
(Nathan is suspended)
Homeless Lady: That spoiled shit finally got kicked out of his daddy's school...
(Nathan isn't suspended)
Homeless Lady: That spoiled shit just has a bad aura, as we used to say...
(Max saved Kate)
Max: He also drugged the girl who tried to jump...
(Max couldn't save Kate)
Max: He also drugged the girl who jumped.
Frank.
Max: Frank Bowers knew Rachel... Have you seen him around?
(Max tried to shoot Frank)
Homeless Lady: I saw him today, looking more jumpy than usual...
(Max didn't try to shoot Frank)
Homeless Lady: I heard him bragging that he took a gun from some trespassers.
Max: I don't know how he hasn't been arrested yet.
David Madsen.
Max: I think Joyce's husband, David, has something to do with all this.
(David is on leave)
Homeless Lady: I saw him yesterday walking around, pissed off more than usual...
Max: Because I basically got him kicked out of Blackwell.
(David isn't on leave)
Homeless Lady: He's an uptight ass but I think he just wants something to do.
Max: Like make life hell for me and his family?
Homeless Lady: Sounds like you know a lot more than me, child.
Max: I just think Arcadia Bay is in trouble...
Homeless Lady: Maybe you'd like to tell me what you're hidin'?
Tell the truth.
Max: I feel like I can trust you as much as Chloe...and you wouldn't think I'm crazy.
Homeless Lady: Too late for me to judge anybody. Plus, you're not crazy.
Max: I'm just gonna say this...I had a vision of Arcadia Bay being destroyed by a tornado...for real.
Homeless Lady: Could be. Bad mojo is in the air this week. Thanks for the warning, Max.
Nothing to tell.
Max: There's...nothing to tell...
Homeless Lady: If you don't wanna share, you don't have to; I'm just an old homeless woman.
Max: Please let me know if you need anything.
Homeless Lady: A warnin'...once you decide to tell me what you know.
Max enters the diner.
Max: (thinking) Good Lord, bacon...I'm ready to nosh again. But I need to get those keys from Frank.
Conservation with Frank[]
(Shot at Frank)
Frank: You show up after almost shooting me? You have serious balls, little girl. But hanging out with Chloe, playing with guns and dressing like Rachel doesn't make you cool or tough. The fuck do you want?
(Didn't shoot at Frank)
Frank: You have serious balls, little girl. But hanging out with Chloe, playing with guns and dressing up like Rachel doesn't make you cool or tough. What the fuck do you want? Take a picture of me and I'll break your fucking camera.
Max: How do you know these are Rachel's clothes?
(Shot at Frank)
Frank: Because she looks beautiful in them and you look like ass. Aiming a gun doesn't make you any sexier.
(Didn't shoot at Frank)
Frank: Because she looks beautiful in them and you look like ass. You're lucky I just took that gun from you...
Max: Grab your keys and let's check out your RV...
Frank: Let's not. You fucking creep me out.
Max: (thinking) In other words, Max, no keys. Maybe I could chat up that officer, or even Nathan, and then go all "Groundhog Day" on them until I get the info I need...
Optional Actions
Max can spill Frank's can of soda or his plate of beans.
Can
Max picks up the can and spills it onto Frank.
Max: I just wanted to see what would happen if I did this.
Frank: I'm gonna kill you!
Frank lunges at Max and she is forced to rewind.
Plate
Max picks up Frank's plate of beans.
Max: You eat like a pig. Try the floor.
Max spills the beans on the floor.
Frank: I was eating those beans—are you fucking insane? I WAS EATING THOSE BEANS!
Frank angrily stands up but slips on the beans. He falls to the floor and Max laughs. Frank pounds his fist on the ground and lunges at Max. She is forced to rewind.
Conversation with Officer Berry[]
First conversation
(Saved Kate)
Officer Berry: There she is, Super Maxine. That's your new nickname around the Bay. Sorry, but you did earn it. We're all real proud of you for helping Kate down.
Max: Thanks, Officer Berry. I was just lucky...and right on time. Kate is who counts.
(Couldn't Save Kate)
Officer Berry: How are you doing, Maxine? I'm so sorry you had to be up there with Kate when she... you know. Just know that we're proud of you for going up there.
Max: Thanks, Officer Berry. I know you guys deal with this stuff way more than me, but it is hard to deal with.
Officer Berry: I'm glad you're representing Blackwell Academy.
Second conversation
Officer Berry: What can I do for you, Max?
Kate Marsh.
Max: I guess Kate Marsh will be the face of Blackwell for a while...
(Saved Kate)
Officer Berry: And you for helping her. That's the kind of school spirit we need more of.
(Couldn't Save Kate)
Officer Berry: Such a waste... awful...
Weird town.
Max: Do you think Arcadia Bay is a weird town?
Officer Berry: I'd take a normal city with normal problems about now...Makes me sick thinking about it...
David Madsen.
Max: I feel like David Madsen represents Blackwell.
Officer Berry: Not for long. He's a loose cannon. We all respect him for his service but he's too eager.
Max: He's eager to be a dick to me and Chloe.
Officer Berry: That's true. He was ranting about a stolen gun then I tuned out...Somebody's always out to get him.
Max automatically leaves the conversation.
Nathan Prescott.
Max: I thought Nathan Prescott represented Blackwell.
Officer Berry: Don't make me backwash this bacon. You know what the Prescotts represent...
Max: Taking over Arcadia Bay?
Officer Berry: You're not far wrong, Max. I heard the Prescotts are working on some new big land deals...Mr. Prescott helped out my family once, a while ago. So I made a deal with him...That I can't seem to get out of. Man, if I could get one instant replay in life...I better finish my breakfast first.
Max automatically leaves the conversation.
Prescott Deal. (Nathan Prescott, rewind)
Max: Well, I heard a rumor you were working for the Prescott family on the side.
Officer Berry: Jesus, doesn't this town ever shut up?
Max: I don't blame you for getting extra work.
Officer Berry: Look, sometimes I check up on the Prescott family to make sure they're doing all right...Nathan, included...Keep this quiet, Max.
Max automatically leaves the conversation.
Rachel and Frank. (Nathan)
Max: Nathan said that Rachel Amber represents Blackwell...with Frank Bowers.
Officer Berry: Bowers ain't no student anymore. Sadly, he does represent one side of Arcadia Bay...I want you to stay out of his orbit, okay? Him and that rabid mutt...
Max: I heard something about Frank Bowers and his puppy. A boy does love his dog...
Officer Berry: Especially when the dog is your personal drooling bodyguard. You can bet he trained that poor thing on blood...
Max: Gross. I wouldn't bet. Where did he get the pup?
Officer Berry: Frank used to bet on dog fights. To his credit, he had a revelation and he saved a bunch of the dogs. Kept one for himself. He's still a creep. You and that Chloe stay away, right?
Conversation with Nathan[]
First conversation
Nathan: Rachel? Whatevathefuck?
Max: Uh...
Nathan: Oh look, "Max Amber."
(Nathan was suspended)
Nathan: Nice outfit. By the way, thanks for getting me fucking expelled, you twee bitch. You're lucky this is a public place...
Max: Considering we're in a public diner with a police officer right over there, you shouldn't advertise your rage... Prescott.
Nathan: Oh yeah? You shouldn't have bitch-snitched on me to that fucked up principal.
(David was suspended)
Nathan: Nice outfit. Looks like ass on you. Sure hope you're not following me. You're in enough trouble after you got David fired...
Max: Considering we're in a public diner with a police officer right over there, you shouldn't advertise your rage... Prescott.
Nathan: No worries. 'Cause you're the one trying to fake it till you make it. At least you were smart enough to keep your big mouth shut in the Principal's office...
(Max was suspended)
Nathan: Is that your "punk rock girl" outfit now that you've been suspended?
(Blamed Nathan)
Nathan: Thanks for trying to get me in trouble, you twee bitch...
Max: Considering we're in a public diner with a police officer right over there, you shouldn't advertise your rage... Prescott.
Nathan: Oh yeah? You shouldn't have bitch-snitched on me to that fucked up principal.
(Blamed David)
Nathan: You're already in enough trouble with David Madsen...
Max: Considering we're in a public diner with a police officer right over there, you shouldn't advertise your rage... Prescott.
Nathan: No worries. 'Cause you're the one trying to fake it till you make it. At least you were smart enough to keep your big mouth shut in the Principal's office...
(Blamed Jefferson)
Nathan: Is that your "punk rock girl" outfit? That was classic watching you turn on your "everyday hero" Jefferson yesterday.
Max: Considering we're in a public diner with a police officer right over there, you shouldn't advertise your rage... Prescott.
Nathan: No worries. 'Cause you're the one trying to fake it till you make it. At least you were smart enough to keep your big mouth shut in the Principal's office...
Second conversation
Nathan: Holy shit, what do you want now?
Kate Marsh.
Max: I bet you hoped Kate Marsh would stay quiet.
Nathan: Idiot says what?
Max: Did you drug her?
Nathan: You're so stupid, Max. You think you're so goddamn smart too! Don't push me, girl. You don't want me for an enemy, understand? Do you?
Max: Calm down, dude. We're in the diner...
Nathan: Right...Plus, you're an adult now. I can sue for dumb ass for libel. Thanks. Now fuck off, dyke!
Max automatically leaves the conversation.
Drugs for sale.
Max: Listen Nathan, I'll take back everything I said about-if you hook me up with Frank...know what I mean?
Nathan: You look like you've never even taken a hit of baby aspirin.
Max: How do you think I stay wired all night studying? So is it a deal or not?
Nathan: Calm down, hard up. Deal. You'll get your school supplies. Just go over to Frank and whisper, "Higher Education." He'll hook your ass up...
Max automatically leaves the conversation.
Your father.
Max: Your sugar daddy will always protect you-and threaten me.
Nathan: You don't know shit about my father, or me. Nobody here does!
Max: Then tell me what I should know.
Nathan: Why? So you can pretend to care, hm? Spoiler alert, he's an asshole.
Max: Maybe I could help you.
Nathan: I don't need you for anything except to stay out of my fucking business, understand? Now get out of my face!
Rachel and Frank.
Max: I bet Frank hooked you and Rachel up with party supplies...
Nathan: Nice try. Rachel partied like a fiend on her own. More than me.
Max: I doubt that.
Nathan: Like you would know, virgin. Even that pig over there knows Rachel hung out more with Frank. I mean, don't talk to the cop about that, dumbass.
Max automatically leaves the conversation.
Cop's information. (Cop)
Max: I heard your dad hired a local cop to keep an eye out on you and Frank Bowers...like a babysitter.
Nathan: Bullshit. My dad doesn't hire, he owns. And these pigs know better than to narc on me.
Max: Do they? I hope that means Frank won't get busted...
Nathan: Eventually he will. Guy is into some freaky shit. He told me once he took a weird blood oath for Rachel...Uh, forget I told you that. Seriously. Now get off my crack, whore. Keep your piehole shut.
Max automatically leaves the conversation.
Blood Oath. (Cop's information, rewind)
Max: Weren't you supposed to keep your mouth shut about the blood oath Frank took for Rachel?
Nathan: Blood oath? Who-? What the fuck? I never told anybody about that freaky shit...Besides everybody knows Frank is a liar and a loser. Even Rachel did...
Max: Yet Rachel Amber hung out with him more than you.
Nathan: So? Rachel wanted Frank's stash. She let him take pictures...Then he carries around her photo like she posed for love. Dumbass.
Max automatically leaves the conversation.
Second Conversation with Frank[]
Frank: What the fuck now?
Chloe's debt.
Max: Could I get you to drop Chloe's debt?
Frank: Aren't you supposed to be a smart student?
Max: You'll find out if you do me this favor...
Frank: Thanks, Godmother. But I don't need your favors. And Chloe doesn't get any from me.
David is after the gun. (Cop, determinant)
Only available if Frank took the gun from Max in the previous episode and if Max spoke to the Cop about David.
Max: David Madsen is looking for that gun. He might show up on your RV step...
Frank: I'm trembling. I don't need to take his little museum piece.
Buy drugs. (Nathan)
Max: By the way Frank... I was wondering if you had any... uh... "Higher Education."
Frank: Haha! Oh yeah, sure. Do you want "The Afterschool Special" to go with that? Jesus... Look, I don't sell anything but bottles to feed me and my dog. I work for a living, not like you spoiled Blackwell punks with too much time on your hands.
Max: But...
Frank: But nothing. Don't ever ask me for anything ever again. Ever. Now back off.
Max rewinds.
Rachel's Photo. (Cop, Nathan)
Max: You know, I saw that photo Rachel gave you.
Frank: Uh... How d'you know about that, huh? Chloe, right?
Max: She just told me that one of Rachel's favorite pictures was the one she did for you.
Frank: Really? Yeah, I mean that's what I thought. She was just a natural beauty, y'know. Wait—wait let me... lemme find it... here, judge for yourself.
Frank takes out the photo of Rachel and his keys. He puts them on the table.
Saved dogs. (Cop, Nathan)
Max: You act so scary, but... you did save all those dogs...
Frank: One, I'm not acting. Two, who told you about the dogs?
Max: It's actually a great story. You're an animal lover. Could I pet the doggie? I could go grab him from your RV right now...
Frank: I won't even let you pick up the dog shit.
Frank takes out his keys and places them on the table.
Frank: Besides, you don't want a leash—you want these keys right here. Look at your eyes dilate. You're worse than a junkie, Max. But no fix for you.
Max takes the keys.
Max: I'm afraid I'll have to take your keys now, asshole.
Frank, aggressively getting up: You did not just do that...! Give me back my keys, bitch! Give me my keys now!
Max rewinds.
Max: (thinking) Key brought, now back to Chloe.
Max leaves the diner and sees Alyssa at the bus stop. A truck drives through the large puddle in front of her, drenching her in water.
Alyssa: Are you shitting me?!
(Warn)
Max can choose to rewind and warn Alyssa about the truck.
Max: Alyssa, watch out!
Alyssa and Max both take a few steps back and wait for the truck to pass.
Alyssa: Quick thinking, Max!
(Don't warn)
If Max tries to speak to her:
Alyssa: I'd love to talk Max, but I'm drowning in puddle scum.
Optional Conversation with Alyssa[]
Max: Whew, that was close, Alyssa!
(Didn't warn in previous episodes)
Alyssa: Thanks Max, I wish you could have helped me the other day when I got tagged by a football and toilet paper.
Max: Next time I'll make sure you don't get hit. I wish I could.
(Warned in a previous episode)
Alyssa: That's the second time you've saved me, Max! Thanks!
Max: Don't thank me. I haven't done anything special.
(Warned in every episode)
Alyssa: Okay Max, this is the third time you saved me from harm's way. You must be my angel.
Max: Don't thank me. I haven't done anything special.
(Saved Kate)
Alyssa: You've paid your dues by saving Kate's life on the roof. You really are a Blackwell hero, Max.
Kate's my friend.
Max: I'm just glad she came down. Kate's a good person... my friend. And she was almost bullied to death by a video.
Alyssa: It's fucked up. But you're an amazing friend. I want to make sure she knows how many friends she really has from now on.
Max: Amen to that.
Alyssa: Max, we should get a posse to see her in the hospital when they allow visitors. Let's hang later and talk some more.
I'm just lucky.
Max: No, I'm just lucky. If Kate wanted to jump, she could have...
Alyssa: Well, she didn't because she had a friend who cared enough to help. I hope everybody at Blackwell starts caring...
Max: Amen to that.
Alyssa: Max, we should get a posse to see her in the hospital when they allow visitors. Let's hang later and talk some more.
True.
Max: True. I mean, nobody else was stepping up to help her. I didn't even think about it.
Alyssa: Well, we're all glad you did. I'm sure it was a strain on you.
Max: Obviously, Kate too. I was just the conduit to save—help her.
Alyssa: Yes, you sure were. And you know it. Okay, I have to get going... See you later, Max.
I got suspended. (Determinant)
Max: I'm such a hero that Principal Wells suspended me... thanks to David Madsen and the Prescotts...
Alyssa: No way! That is total bullshit! Wow, maybe we should get a petition going...
Max: No worries. It's done. Besides, now I have an excuse to take a lot of photos this week.
Alyssa: Maybe we could take a picture to Kate as a gift... Hey, I have to go, but let's talk later.
(Didn't save Kate)
Alyssa: I saw you try to save my friend Kate on that roof. The only one who did... While people took camera pics.
Kate was my friend.
Max: Kate was my friend too. I would have done anything to save her.
Alyssa: Everybody saw that. I'm proud of you for being so brave. You're pretty cool, Max.
Max: That's not how I feel today, but thanks.
Alyssa: We need to hang out more, drink some wine... I have to go but let's talk later, cool?
I tried...
Max: Yep, I tried... and Kate died.
Alyssa: Knock that shit off. The whole school saw you trying to talk her down. But nobody could have... You're still a hero, Max.
Max: That's not how I feel today, but thanks.
Alyssa: We need to hang out more, drink some wine... I have to go but let's talk later, cool?
Kate was too scared.
Max: Kate was too scared to stand up for herself. I wish she would have listened to me... She wasn't strong enough.
Alyssa: Well, it's hard to be strong when an entire school and internet is bullying you.
Max: Maybe she could have...
Alyssa: But she didn't. We can't go back and fix her now, Max. I'll see you later.
I got suspended. (Determinant)
Max: I'm such a hero that Principal Wells suspended me... thanks to David Madsen and the Prescotts...
Alyssa: No way! That is total bullshit! Wow, maybe we should get a petition going...
Max: Fuck it. I'm kind of over Blackwell at the moment.
Alyssa: I like your attitude, Max. We need to hang. I have to go, but let's talk later.
Max walks over to Frank's RV. She finds Chloe and waves the key in front of her. Chloe smiles.
Chloe: I should have known. The Amazing SpiderMax.
Max hands the key to Chloe.
Max: I couldn't have done it without Frank. Now let's get in and out.
Chloe: You'll need this Max!
Max takes the bone from Chloe.
Chloe: On your mark, get set... throw!
Chloe opens the door and Frank's dog runs toward Max.
THROW TOWARDS THE ROAD
Max: Get the treat treat, boy!
Frank's dog chases the bone towards the road and runs out of view.
Chloe: The meat is in the street...
A large lumber truck driving up the street comes to a sudden stop.
Max: Oh no. Please, please do not let that poor dog be hit...
Max holds her face in her hands, distressed.
Chloe: I bet he's fine—I'm sure he is... Come on, we definitely don't have time to waste now.
Max: (thinking) Oh please, please don't let that dog be hurt... or worse...
THROW IN THE PARKING LOT
Max: Get the treat treat, boy!
Frank's dog chases the bone into the back of the parking lot. He lies down and begins to chew it.
Chloe: I think we just made that dog our bitch... get it?
Max: Now I can snoop in peace. But let's not waste time.
Max: (thinking) The doggie is busy now but he might come back.
Chloe enters the RV and Max follows, shutting the door behind her.
Frank's RV[]
Chloe: Damn, and I thought my room was a shithole.
Max: You're not a creepy drug dealer.
Chloe: Frank has issues, but he's not creepy... At least I didn't think so until I saw him with Rachel's bracelet.
Chloe sits in the driver's seat.
Chloe: Oh, we could cruise everywhere in this bad boy. Can you see us heading down the coast to Big Sur and beyond?
Max: Yes, we'd be tearing up the highway.
(Kissed Chloe)
Max: And you'd probably want me to kiss you again...
(Didn't kiss Chloe)
Max: And you'd dare me to drive it like you dared me to kiss you...
Max: Chloe, we're on a schedule. We need clues about Rachel.
Chloe: I know. Just daydreaming.
Chloe: You scope the area while I hack his computer for info.
Max: (thinking) Frank is almost a made-for-TV hoarder. This place is nasty.
Chloe and Max's comments
Chloe: Crappy wi-fi out here. Must take him days to download porn.
Max: Yuck.
Chloe: Whoa, what the hell is he doing with that dog...
Max: Stop it.
Chloe: I cannot believe he would wear a collar and a furry mask...
Max: You're dumb!
Chloe: Max, you didn't tell me you took photos of Frank in action...
Max: I'm seriously ignoring you.
[If Frank has Chloe's gun] (Determinant)
Max opens a cabinet near the front of the RV and sees Chloe's gun.
Max: (thinking) Presto, Chloe's gun. Should I give it back to her?
LEAVE THE GUN
Max closes the cabinet.
Max: (thinking) I might regret this, but I can't let Chloe hurt someone...or get hurt.
GIVE THE GUN TO CHLOE
Max takes the gun and walks over to Chloe.
Max: I have a terrible present for you...
Chloe: An ounce of dank bud?
Max gives Chloe the gun.
Chloe: Oh you so rule, Max. Thank you. I feel so much better now.
Max: You better bring it back to David right away.
Chloe: Yeah, sure, I'm on it.
Max: (thinking) I might regret this, but I can't let Frank hurt someone...
Max goes into Frank's bedroom. She tries to open the vent next to the door.
Max: (thinking) Okay, this vent is loose. I need something to pry it open...
Max walks back into the kitchen and takes the knife from the counter.
Max: (thinking) This is almost as good as a set of keys.
Max uses the knife to pry open the vent.
Max: (thinking) My blade will open any portal!
She removes Frank's Account Book from the vent.
Picture 1
Max: (thinking) Oh man, Rachel and Frank's dog...
Letter 1
Max: (thinking) I don't know if I should be touched or disturbed...
Picture 2
Max: (thinking) I'm glad Rachel got to drive this beast. She looks genuinely happy.
Picture 3
Max: (thinking) Rachel really did hang out with Frank.
Picture 4
Max: (thinking) I'm learning more about Rachel than I want to know...
Letter 2
Max: (thinking) Hmm, trouble in paradise.
Max shows the Account Book to Chloe.
Chloe: It makes me ill that Rachel posed like this for Frank... or wrote him love letters... I can't believe she was banging Frank! Rachel straight up lied to my face! Why didn't she say anything?
Max: Because she knew how you would react.
Chloe: Then she wasn't much of a friend, huh? Just another person who shits all over me. Why does everybody in my life let me down? My dad gets killed, you bail on me for years, my mother gloms onto step-fucker... now Rachel betrays me...
Max: Chloe, Rachel is missing. Nobody betrayed you.
(Sided with Chloe)
Chloe: Bullshit, who hasn't?! Fuck everybody!
(Sided with David)
Chloe: Bullshit. You totally defended step-stalker! Fuck everybody!
Max: Chloe!
Chloe leaves the RV and throws Frank's keys onto the roof of the diner. Frank watches from the window as Chloe and Max drive away, and then continues to eat his beans.
Chloe's Truck[]
Max: Chloe, you can't keep blaming me and everybody for everything wrong in your life. It's so not fair.
Chloe: I gotta blame somebody. Otherwise it's all my fault. Fuck that.
Grow up.
(Kate is alive)
Max: Grow up! God, you're not the only one in Arcadia Bay with problems! Kate Marsh almost...
Chloe: Yes, Kate Marsh ALMOST killed herself. Such sad, okay?! That doesn't make me feel any better about my fucked-up life, get it?
(Kate is dead)
Max: Grow up. And I'm not trying to be mean. But you're not the only one in Arcadia Bay with problems. Kate Marsh killed herself, you know?
Chloe: Yes, Kate Marsh killed herself. She's dead. Such sad. Okay? That doesn't make me feel any better about my fucked-up life, get it?
Nobody's fault.
Max: It's just life, shit happens, it's nobody's fault, "blah, blah, blah", as Mr. Jefferson would say.
(Kate is alive)
Max: And Kate Marsh...
Chloe: Yes, Kate Marsh ALMOST killed herself. Such sad, okay?! That doesn't make me feel any better about my fucked-up life, get it?
(Kate is dead)
Max: And Kate Marsh...
Chloe: Yes, Kate Marsh killed herself. She's dead. Such sad. Okay? That doesn't make me feel any better about my fucked-up life, get it?
Rachel and Frank.
Max: So now it's Rachel's fault, too?
Chloe: Jesus, she was banging that pig Frank! Bitch LIED to my FACE, Max! I can't trust anybody again. Everybody pretends to care until they don't. Even you.
Max: Chloe Price, you better take that back. Right now.
Chloe: Okay, fine... But you just don't understand. It's like I'm being punished by the universe...
Max: So who do you most want to blame?
Chloe: My fucking dad of course... hello!?
William?
Max: You blame William? Really?
Chloe: Yes, I do. Damn right. He CHOSE to go out that door and leave me forever.
David?
Max: You blame David?
Chloe: I said "my dad"! My real father, who got himself killed for nothing! Not that human placeholder for Joyce.
Max: Chloe, your dad didn't "choose" to...leave you.
Chloe: I know that, Max! My mom actually blames herself...just because she wanted a ride home from work. Sometimes...even I blame her.
Max: No, you don't.
Chloe: Yes, Max, I do. Do you know what it's like to wait for your father to come home when you're a kid...and he never does?
Max: No, of course not. But I was with you that day, it was just a terrible accident!
Chloe: I wish that made me feel better. But ever since he died, my life has been dipped in shit.
You're still here.
Max: You don't want to hear this, but you're still here. Alive. With me. And that is no accident.
Chloe: You're right. I don't wanna hear this.
I can tell.
Max: I can tell... But look at everything that's happened the past week. Your life has changed mine and that's not shit.
Chloe: (emotionally) I'd really love to believe that... I'd like to believe in something after what's happened...
Max: Chloe, I can't do this out on my own. I NEED you with me. And Rachel needs you...
Chloe drives up to the entrance of Blackwell. She stays quiet and looks away as Max gets out of the car. Max walks up the stairs to the campus and Chloe drives away.
Max's Room[]
Max sits on the bed in her room, staring sadly at a photo of herself and Chloe when they were young. She begins to hear faint voices coming from the photo, and the picture starts to shift and change.
Young Chloe: [laughs] Get a close-up of Max!
Young Max: Knock it off, Chloe!
Max, startled, drops the photo on the floor.
Max: (thinking) Oh, my god. What is happening now?
Max slowly leans down and picks up the photo. It begins to change and voices emanate from it again.
William: Yes, girls. Time for a picture.
Young Chloe: Cheesecake!
William: Come on now, say "pancake"!
Young Max: [laughs] I can't even see!
Max focuses on the photo.
Chloe's House - Focus[]
There is a flash as William takes a picture with his Polaroid camera.
Chloe: Someday Dad'll get one of them newfangled computers.
William: I hope the flash didn't scare you, Max. This is a keeper.
Chloe takes the photo out of William's hands.
Chloe: Not until I see it first! You know the rules, Dad! Max, tell him... (concernedly) Whoa, hey, you look totally pale. Are you okay?
Max: Yeah, I just... Uh...yeah, I'm fine...
William: Okay, Chloe, give me the thumbs-up or thumbs-down...
Chloe: Well, I might just allow this one into the family album...
William: (in background) You're the boss.
Chloe: (in background) But not the cook? Hint hint, daddy.
William: (in background) Yes, we can't expect your mother to rush home and serve us slackers. Who wants to help me make crêpes?
Max (thinking) Now, what is this? William is here! And Chloe is just a kid... Am I that far back in time?
Chloe: You mean pancakes?
William: In France they call them crêpes. (in background) And a good French chef needs his assistants. If you want to eat breakfast.
Max (thinking) I'm 18 years old inside my 13-year-old self... How?
Chloe: Oui. I volunteer to break the eggs!
Conversation Between William and Chloe
William: Do you remember how many eggs?
Chloe: Mom said it depends.
William: That's true.
Chloe: So, how many eggs?
William: Don't you dare question the chef.
Chloe: Right, like you're the real cook here.
William: I am when your mom's away.
Chloe: I'll let her know that.

William: Max, you are the road warrior. I promise if I have to go anywhere, I'll drive like I'm taking a test. Fair enough?
Max: Not...really... I just know the roads are bad and stuff, so...so you—

William and Joyce's Conversation
(Max didn't unplug the phone)
William: Hello? Hey, honey! Just making a fabulous breakfast with Chloe and Max. We're all going to work at the Two Whales... What? Oh, I didn't know you had to get groceries. Of course I'll come pick you up. Now I'll have an excuse to get a mocha. Be there shortly. Love you...
(Max unplugged the phone)
If Max rewinds and unplugs the home phone, William's cell phone rings.
William: Hey, honey! I have no idea why the home phone didn't ring just now. I'm just making a fabulous breakfast with Chloe and Max. We're all going to work at the Two Whales... What? Oh, I didn't know you had to get groceries. Of course I'll come pick you up. Now I'll have an excuse to get a mocha. Be there shortly. Love you.
William hangs up.
Max: (thinking, first time only) I have to stop William from taking his car today.
William: Excuse me, ladies, I have to go rescue yonder queen at the Sav-Mart. She doth have many bags of delicious grub for us to feast upon.
Chloe: You are ridiculous.
William: (laughs) You'll be grateful for that someday. Shit, where are my keys?
William searches around the room.
Chloe: That's a dollar for the swear jar!
William: You mean your college fund! Keys, please...
(Max has not taken the keys)
William finds the keys under a hat on the coffee table.
William: Aha! You can't hide from me forever! Now lock up after I leave, play nice, try not to destroy too much of the house.
William walks toward the door, pausing in front of the kitchen.
William: And no Chloe and Max wine-tasting session...
Chloe: Dad!
William: Don't blow it, because tonight your mother promised to make us her world-famous salmon surprise with chocolate cake for dessert. Max, you'll be here too, right?
Chloe: She's never leaving me!
William: That makes all of us.
William leaves. Max is forced to rewind.
(Max took the keys)
Max takes the keys from under the hat.
Max: (thinking) Score!
She can now hide them in several different places as William continues the search.
William: Shit, where are those keys?
Chloe: Another dollar for the swear jar!
William: You're bankrupting me!
William pulls out a beeper to locate his keys.
(Max doesn't hide them)
If Max has not hidden the keys by the time William activates the beeper, the beeper will reveal that Max has the keys.
William: Max, this is not the best time for a prank. Keys, please.
Max: Uh, I was just—um, are you sure Joyce is ready? Uh, let's just—let's just wait... I, um... Sorry. Here...
Max hands the keys to William.
William: I'll get you back someday.
William walks toward the door, pausing in front of the kitchen.
William: And no Chloe and Max wine-tasting session...
Chloe: Dad!
William: Don't blow it, because tonight your mother promised to make us her world-famous salmon surprise with chocolate cake for dessert. Max, you'll be here too, right?
Chloe: She's never leaving me!
William: That makes all of us.
William leaves. Max is forced to rewind.
(Max hides them unsuccessfully)
If Max hides them anywhere but out the window, in the sink, or out the back door, the beeper will sound, revealing to William the keys' location.
William: (holding keys in his hand) I knew this thing would come in handy... How did my keys get in here?
William walks toward the door, pausing in front of the kitchen.
William: And no Chloe and Max wine-tasting session...
Chloe: Dad!
William: Don't blow it, because tonight your mother promised to make us her world-famous salmon surprise with chocolate cake for dessert. Max, you'll be here too, right?
Chloe: She's never leaving me!
William: That makes all of us.
William leaves. Max is forced to rewind.
(Max hides them successfully)
If Max hides them out the window, in the kitchen sink, or out the back door, the following cutscene will play immediately.
William takes the beeper out of his pocket and clicks the button on his beeper in several different directions. The tag on the keys doesn't respond to any of those clicks.
William: I know I had those keys right here... I know it... Forgot all about you, little buddy... Release the keys! Of course. Last time I order from SpyGuy Electronics...
Max approaches him.
Max: You can take the bus, right? The stop is right down the street!
William: This I can do. Good call, Max.
Max: Oh, yeah, the bus is great! It comes every 15 minutes and there'll be plenty of room for you and Joyce and groceries and it'll save the environment...
Chloe walks out of the kitchen.
William: You sold me already. I'm off to yonder bus stop. Joyce will love this.
William waves goodbye and leaves the house.
Chloe: Max, you are being so fucking strange. You feel okay?
Max holds Chloe's hands and jumps up and down.
Max: Chloe, I am...awesome! We are awesome!
A timestream montage occurs. William's funeral is replaced with the Prices at a carnival. Chloe wearing a backpack is replaced by Chloe and William taking a selfie. David and Joyce's wedding is replaced with William and Joyce celebrating their anniversary. Chloe arguing with David on her birthday is replaced by Chloe receiving a car on her birthday.
Epilogue[]
When Max "wakes up", she is sitting on the Blackwell campus at sunset, next to Hayden, Courtney, Logan, Nathan, Zachary, Taylor, and Victoria.
Student Comments in the Background
Girl: You are such a ho-bag. I knew you'd hook up with that loser.
Boy: I'm not paying 150 dollars for a concert.
Girl: I heard that the Vortex Club parties are wild.
Boy: Dude, the service fee is like 50 percent—
Zachary/Logan: So that's why she was laughing so hard.
Taylor: All my friends in LA told me that Oregon was gonna be wet and cold every day, but it's like 75 degrees and I haven't seen the rain once since I got here. Is that climate change?
Courtney: No, it's people in Oregon trying to keep Californians out.
Max looks around in confusion.
Victoria: Helloooo? Are you even listening, Maxine?
Max: Max, never Maxine.
Victoria: I know, sorry, Mad Max. You're not pissed at me, right? Right? Do you wanna go hit the girls' potty and smoke 'em peace pipe?
Courtney: I think Max is high...
Taylor: She's acting, like, so weird... You cool, Max?
Courtney: Nobody listened when I said we shouldn't let her in the Vortex...
Taylor: Courtney, you don't want anybody in the club.
Courtney: Like, whatever, bitch.
Max gets up. She notices Warren and Stella holding hands.
Max: (thinking) Warren... He hooked up with Stella?
Max runs across the campus.
Max: (thinking) Oh, no...this is totally fucked up! What else have I changed? Chloe!
Max gets into the schoolbus, noticing that David Madsen is the bus driver. After driving for a while, the bus suddenly stops and everyone goes to look out the windows. Several whales are lying on the beach. Max goes to Chloe's house and knocks on the door, and William answers.
William: Max Caulfield! Taking a break after taking Seattle by storm, huh? Hm... We thought we'd never see you after you left for the big city.
Max: No... I'd never do that to Chloe.
William: Speaking of...I know she's been dying to see you. Hold on.
William turns around and steps back into the house.
William: Chloe! You have a visitor!
William steps to the side. Max sees Chloe and covers her mouth in shock as Chloe goes up to the door. Chloe is sitting in a wheelchair and a tube is attached to her neck. She smiles at Max.
