Lucas and Max in “Unfinished Business”

Lucas

So I've been thinking... two of the three of Vecna's victims were seeing Ms Kelly, right?

Max

Yeah.

Lucas

Okay, so I figured there's a good chance Vecna cursed another one of her students. We go back to her office, we read all of her files, we look for mentions of headaches, nosebleeds, nightmares-

Max

Lucas-

Lucas

We identify who's most likely his next victim-

Max

Lucas-

Lucas

We stake out his house-

Max

Lucas, stop! We don't have time for any of that, okay? And even if we did, even if your plan did work, we'd be putting a total stranger at risk. A stranger who has no idea what they're up against. I do. He uses my memories against me. But... only my darkest memories. Same with Chrissy and Fred, right?

Lucas

Right.

Max

It's like he only sees the darkness in us. So... I'll just run in the opposite direction. Run to the light. And... maybe he won't be able to find me there.

Lucas

Now how exactly do you plan on doing this?

Max

I'm not sure. But it's my mind, not his, right? So I should be able to control where I am, I just need to... push him away, find a happy memory and hide there. Hide in the light.

Lucas

You got a memory in mind?

Max

[Nods and smiles a little] Yeah. It was a time when I was... happiest.

Lucas

Was... I there?

Max

That's presumptuous of you. [They both laugh a little] But, yeah. Yeah, you might have been there. (they smile at each other)

Lucas

Okay, but the second you start to lift, I'm calling in Kate Bush, alright?

Max

Okay, deal.

Lucas

Deal. [They shake hands]
