Max: Man, Nathan Prescott is messed up. And dangerous... This day never ends... 

Chole: "Oh, and thanks, Chloe!" After five years you're still Max Caulfield. Don't give me the guilty face. At least pretend you're ___(1)___.

Max: I am seriously glad to see you. Oh, and thanks, Chloe. It makes perfect sense I'd see you today.

Chloe: Yes, it's been that kind of day. So what did that freak want with you?

Max: I have no idea. I know he's a Prescott.

Chloe: And an asshole. Your friend really stood up for you...

Max: Warren? Yeah, I owe him big time.

Chloe: You're not the only one in debt, and you're already causing trouble.

Max: I didn't order my parents to move specifically³ to fuck you over, Chloe.

Chloe: You've been at Blackwell for almost a month without letting me know. 'Nuff said.

Max: I just want to settle in first and not be such a shy cliche⁴ geek. I totally would have contacted you...

Chloe: I bet⁵ you don't use these sad excuses on Mr. Jefferson... Don't use them on me, Max.

Max: Broken.Oh man, are you cereal⁶? 

Chloe:  Wow, haven't heard that one in a while...

Max: Not everything changes. Except my camera has officially taken a shit.

Chloe: My step-douche has a boatload of tools. Maybe you can fix it in my place...

Max: I need very specific tiny tools.

Chloe: Nerd  ! My stepdad has a fully⁷ stocked⁸ _(4)_. And he actually is a tiny tool. Welcome home, Max.
