Paul Eiding: Max Tennyson

Quotes 

• Gwen Tennyson : We can't let Ben destroy Kevin. We've gotta find a way to cure him.

  Max Tennyson : Ben is right.

  Gwen Tennyson : I know. He... Wait! WHAT?

  Max Tennyson : You are a Plumber, Gwen! A lot of people are depending on you. You've got to put your feelings aside and do what's right.

  Gwen Tennyson : This is Kevin we're talking about.

  Max Tennyson : If you can't be a professional, then just stay out of the way and let Ben do what needs to be done.

  Gwen Tennyson : But, Grandpa...

  Max Tennyson : I can't help you, Gwen.

  Gwen Tennyson : Then I'll find someone who can.

• Max Tennyson : Kevin's a menace. Your friendship aside, the only responsible move is to take him down with all necessary force.

  Ben Tennyson : Then I don't understand why you're talking to me.

  Max Tennyson : It's the logical move. It's the safest move. It's the sensible move.

  Ben Tennyson : But?

  Max Tennyson : It's not the Ben move. You trust people, you give them second chances, and they live up to your expectations. Kevin was a sociopath when you were kids, but you trusted him anyway.

  Ben Tennyson : Look how that worked out.

  Max Tennyson : He's turned into a fine young man - a hero a dozen times over.

  Ben Tennyson : But now he's a monster.

  Max Tennyson : True - and I'd put him down like a mad dog - but I never thought YOU would. You always find another way.

• Ben Tennyson : When I thought you were dead, I had to do a lot of growing up.

  Max Tennyson : You did fine.

  Ben Tennyson : For a while, but then I let my fame go to my head. I've been as big a jerk these past few months as I ever was.

  [very long pause] 

  Ben Tennyson : Aren't you gonna argue with me?

  Max Tennyson : Not when you're right.

  Ben Tennyson : I've had fun, but I always told myself that when the situation got serious, so would I.

  Max Tennyson : I'm not going to argue with you, Ben. I just wanted to make sure you'd really thought about this.

  Ben Tennyson : I have, Grandpa. I'm sorry about what's going to happen to Kevin - really, I am - but this isn't kid stuff anymore. Play time's over.
