Isabel-"Every day." Max-"Well, if we could find out? What if someone had the answers for us? Would you want to know?" Isabel-"I think I'd be really scared. What is this about, Max? Is this about the key Michael found cause you know we can't do anything about it." ![]() ![]() Max-"We're always being so cautious, you know. Always watching behind our backs. Never getting too involved, but we're never moving forward either. We're just kinda stuck, Isabel. I'm not sure I want to be stuck anymore." Isabel-"What's making you think about this? The key or Liz?" Max-"I'm not sure." Isabel-"Max, we already took a big risk just telling them and I don't like where it's headed."

She's like this, on the inside, she's much more,um, Max, Maria's my best friend in the whole world, and she's going to be fine tomorrow. I'll make sure of it." Max-"Right. It's just, it's important."
