00:12:15,483 --> 00:12:17,383
Do I detect reluctance?

185
00:12:19,586 --> 00:12:21,922
I'm telling you,
it's too dangerous.

186
00:12:21,924 --> 00:12:24,925
Dangerous? It's just vr.
How could it be dangerous?

187
00:12:24,927 --> 00:12:26,459
Why don't you ask Donny?

188
00:12:26,461 --> 00:12:28,194
[Grunting]

189
00:12:30,231 --> 00:12:33,066
Look, if you don't wanna
come, just say so.

190
00:12:33,068 --> 00:12:35,635
Max doesn't need a
chaperone, do you?

191
00:12:35,637 --> 00:12:36,937
Uh, no.

192
00:12:36,939 --> 00:12:38,338
I guess not.

193
00:12:38,340 --> 00:12:40,307
Then it's settled.

194
00:12:40,309 --> 00:12:42,075
Let's go.

195
00:12:42,077 --> 00:12:44,711
Max, I don't think
this is a good idea.

196
00:12:44,713 --> 00:12:46,879
I'll call you later, Terry.
I will.

197
00:12:46,881 --> 00:12:48,681
Max.

198
00:12:52,253 --> 00:12:54,321
You don't know what
you're missing, mcginnis.

199
00:12:54,323 --> 00:12:57,256
Yeah. Spellbinder hooks
us up real good.

200
00:12:57,258 --> 00:12:58,491
Spellbinder?

201
00:12:58,493 --> 00:13:00,494
Hey.

202
00:13:37,031 --> 00:13:39,633
Where did they go? Where?

203
00:13:39,635 --> 00:13:41,101
Unh...

204
00:13:50,644 --> 00:13:53,246
Oh, you're home, Maxine.

205
00:13:53,248 --> 00:13:55,382
How was your particle
physics test today?

206
00:13:55,384 --> 00:13:56,316
Another 100.

207
00:13:56,318 --> 00:13:57,384
That's our girl.

208
00:13:57,386 --> 00:13:59,552
Fixed your cycle for
you, sweetheart.

209
00:13:59,554 --> 00:14:01,221
You shouldn't hear
that rattle anymore.

210
00:14:01,223 --> 00:14:03,323
Thanks, dad.

211
00:14:03,325 --> 00:14:07,327
Guys, there's gonna be this
ceremony at school this weekend.

212
00:14:07,329 --> 00:14:10,230
I'm being inducted into a
national honor society.

213
00:14:10,232 --> 00:14:11,564
I know it's tough,

214
00:14:11,566 --> 00:14:13,246
but it'd be great if
you could all make it.

215
00:14:13,270 --> 00:14:15,001
Of course we'll be there.

216
00:14:15,003 --> 00:14:16,335
That's great.

217
00:14:16,337 --> 00:14:17,737
Aren't you being silly?

218
00:14:17,739 --> 00:14:19,973
We're all so proud of you.

219
00:14:23,444 --> 00:14:26,712
To feel the love you never
get in the real world.

220
00:14:26,714 --> 00:14:30,817
It's no surprise that
addiction follows so quickly.

221
00:15:05,052 --> 00:15:07,420
Max, what are you doing?

222
00:15:07,422 --> 00:15:09,589
Go away. You
wouldn't understand.

223
00:15:09,591 --> 00:15:12,926
I understand spellbinder's got you
hooked, and you're stealing for him.

224
00:15:12,928 --> 00:15:14,161
So what?

225
00:15:14,163 --> 00:15:16,396
So keep at it, and
you'll end up a veg.

226
00:15:16,398 --> 00:15:17,564
Listen to me.

227
00:15:17,566 --> 00:15:19,832
You don't have clue how
good it feels, Terry.

228
00:15:19,834 --> 00:15:22,068
Everybody wants you in there.

229
00:15:22,070 --> 00:15:24,270
And the second you're
back out here,

230
00:15:24,272 --> 00:15:26,239
your whole body hurts for more.

231
00:15:26,241 --> 00:15:28,675
I just wanna get back inside.

232
00:15:28,677 --> 00:15:30,109
It's an addiction, Max.

233
00:15:30,111 --> 00:15:32,112
He's messed up your
brain chemistry.

234
00:15:32,114 --> 00:15:33,747
Come on, let me help you.

235
00:15:33,749 --> 00:15:36,583
If you wanna help me so much,

236
00:15:36,585 --> 00:15:39,385
then leave me alone.
Let go of me!

237
00:15:39,387 --> 00:15:41,287
Argh!

238
00:15:41,289 --> 00:15:44,591
Ahh...

239
00:15:50,431 --> 00:15:54,033
The couch will be fine, James.

240
00:15:54,035 --> 00:15:55,601
Your whole family lives here?

241
00:15:55,603 --> 00:15:59,072
"Whole family" is just me and
my sister most of the time.

242
00:15:59,074 --> 00:16:01,341
The folks split up
when I was a kid.

243
00:16:01,343 --> 00:16:03,776
And mom's on the
road a lot for work.

244
00:16:03,778 --> 00:16:05,978
I guess you and I both
have our secrets.

245
00:16:05,980 --> 00:16:09,382
Except mine seems kind
of pathetic right now.

246
00:16:09,384 --> 00:16:12,318
Hey, at least you don't
have to wear tights.

247
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,455
Speaking of secrets, I gotta call...
The guy.

248
00:16:15,457 --> 00:16:17,591
Then you'll take me
back to spellbinder?

[Dials cell phone]

250
00:16:19,327 --> 00:16:22,395
It's me. Yeah, she's fine. I'm letting
her rest a bit and then... ugh!

251
00:16:23,697 --> 00:16:24,730
Terry!

252
00:16:24,732 --> 00:16:28,134
Max: Whoever you are,
when he wakes up,

253
00:16:28,136 --> 00:16:31,737
tell him I'm sorry. [Dial tone]

254
00:16:35,142 --> 00:16:38,077
Hey, easy on the car.

255
00:16:38,079 --> 00:16:40,313
I can't believe I got
her involved in this.

256
00:16:40,315 --> 00:16:42,182
Now you sound like Batman.

257
00:16:42,184 --> 00:16:43,616
What?

258
00:16:43,618 --> 00:16:47,654
I've been right where you are
more times than I care to count.

259
00:16:47,656 --> 00:16:51,090
And like you said, there's no
way you could've stopped her.

260
00:16:52,493 --> 00:16:53,893
There's Donny.

261
00:16:53,895 --> 00:16:55,935
I'll feel better once I wring
spellbinder's location

262
00:16:55,959 --> 00:16:57,063
out of his face.

263
00:16:57,065 --> 00:16:59,633
Or you could cool your
jets and just tail him.

264
00:16:59,635 --> 00:17:01,868
Oh. I guess that's
a good idea, too.

265

What are you doing here?

268
00:18:38,300 --> 00:18:39,699
It's gonna be ok.

269
00:18:39,701 --> 00:18:41,735
Yeah, when you get
out of my life!

270
00:18:41,737 --> 00:18:43,102
This is what I wanna do.

271
00:18:43,104 --> 00:18:44,771
You have no right to stop me.

272
00:18:44,773 --> 00:18:46,539
You can't just live
in a fantasy world.

273
00:18:46,541 --> 00:18:50,242
Why not? What's so
great about reality?

274
00:18:50,244 --> 00:18:52,178
People care about me in there.

275
00:18:52,180 --> 00:18:53,879
Why can't you just
let me have that?

276
00:18:53,881 --> 00:18:55,815
You're smarter than this, Max.

277
00:18:55,817 --> 00:18:58,151
And if you cut the lonely
victim act for a second,

278
00:18:58,153 --> 00:19:02,355
you'd see this is for
your own good. Aah!

279
00:19:02,357 --> 00:19:03,623
Why couldn't you listen to me?

280

Oof!

00:19:07,161 --> 00:19:09,796
Yeah, Batman. Why
couldn't you listen?

Who made you the
pleasure police?

00:19:14,535 --> 00:19:16,969
Don't worry, dear.

284
00:19:16,971 --> 00:19:18,838
He won't interfere again.

285
00:19:24,478 --> 00:19:26,812
Don't kill him, ok?

286
00:19:26,814 --> 00:19:29,315
He won't come back.
I'm sure of it.

287
00:19:29,317 --> 00:19:30,983
This is none of your concern.

288
00:19:30,985 --> 00:19:34,354
Go on. Your dream world awaits.

'cause I wouldn't butt out.

It worked out ok.

part of something.

Well, congratulations 'cause
you're a part of it now,

slower from now on.
