[Telling Max about their adventure with Eleven] And that was the last we ever saw of her. After that, she was just, gone. I can't believe it's been that long. Feels like yesterday.
[Sarcastically] Yeah, I mean, I bet. Wow.
It's crazy, I know.
It's crazy, but... I really liked it.
Liked it?
Yeah. Well, I, I had a few issues.
[Confused] "Issues?"
I just felt it was a little derivative, in parts, but-
What are you talking about?
[Sneers] I just wish it had a little more originality, that's all.
You don't believe me.
Lucas, come on. Seriously? How gullible do you think I am?
Why would I make this up?
I don't know. To impress me, or something? Or, you're just, like... insane.
Angrily] I tell you all of this! I mean, top-secret stuff! Risking my life! And this is how you react?
[Scoffs] "Risking your life?"
Oh, so this is funny to you?
Yeah. I mean... kind of funny. [Lucas glares at her, she gets up] Stupid... but funny.
Where are you going?
Story time's over, isn't it? [She walks back into the Arcade, Lucas follows her]
What's wrong with you? I gave you what you wanted.
I wanted to be a part of the group, not a part of some joke.
It's not a joke.
You did a good job, okay? You can go tell the others that I believed your lies, if it gets you "experience points" or whatever. [She tries to walk away, but Lucas grabs her arm]
We have a lot of rules in our party, but the most important is, "Friends don't lie." Never ever, no matter what.
[Sarcastically] Is that right? [Pulls the "Out of Order" sign off the Dig Dug console and slaps it on his chest] Then how do you explain this?
[Sighs] I had to do that. To protect you-
[Angrily] To protect me from who, exactly?! The big, bad government baddies from Hawkins Lab?!
[Glancing around nervously] Lower your voice-
Or, maybe it was to protect me from the "Demagorgon" from another dimension!
Max, I'm serious, shut up!
Oh, no, no, no! You know what it was? It was Eleven, the girl-
[Clamps his hand over her mouth, leans forward and locks eyes with her] Stop talking. You're going to get us killed. Do you understand?
[Pulls his hand down and stares at him] ... You're serious?
I really wish I wasn't.
...Prove it.
I can't.
So, what? I'm just supposed to trust you?
Yes.
