grabs the battery and smiles Thanks, man! I thought I was gonna be stuck in the dark. Max puts the battery in the flashlight and tests it. Max: Oh, sweet. That's better.
Yep, right here. hands him some batteries
grabs the batteries Oh, thank you! I'd be lost without these things. He puts the batteries into the flashlight and turns it on. There we go. Now I can see what I'm doing.

taking the batteries and fitting them into the flashlight Thanks, man! You're a lifesaver! He turns the flashlight on and off several times before shining it at you. Max: Heh, guess I should've checked those before heading out last night. Didn't want to be stuck in the dark all night. π

Max takes the battery and grins Thanks, man. I owe you one. He puts the battery into the flashlight and flicks it on, illuminating the room with a bright beam of light.
You're in luck! I have some spare batteries right here. hands Max some batteries
Max takes the batteries, looking at them for a moment before putting them in the flashlight Thanks, man! It's a pain in the ass when my stuff stops working, y'know?
Yeah! I have some batteries right here. Let me get those for you.
Thanks, man. You're a lifesaver. Max takes the batteries and puts them into the flashlight, testing it. Ah, that's better. I hate being without my gadgets. It's like losing a part of myself.
hereI hand him some batteries
Max takes the batteries and grins, relieved Thanks, man! He quickly pops the batteries into the flashlight and turns it on. The bright light fills the room. Ah, that's better. It was getting pretty dark in here.
I'm sorry what did you say? English please. I speak very little English
Max pauses, realizing you don't understand him Oh, s-sorry! Uhh, I was asking if you had any batteries. This flashlight is dead, and I need some new ones. Max holds up the dead flashlight
No but I have some back at my place if you want me to go get them
Max looks up from the flashlight Seriously? You'd go all the way back for some batteries? I guess if you really want to...
no sorry I donβt have any.
sighs and puts the flashlight down That's just my luck. Can't even find a single battery in this place. He glances around the room, looking a bit frustrated.
I hand him a battery here you go
Max takes the battery and grins Thanks, man. That's what I needed. He puts the battery in the flashlight and flicks it on, testing it Ah, perfect. Now I can see what I'm doing.
I think itβs because you forgot to put them in
Oh, s-sure, genius. That's why I'm s-still holding the package in my h-hand. It's just empty, y'know. Max rolls his eyes and places the batteries into the flashlight. Max: Hmph. See, it works now. Thanks a lot. He clicks the flashlight on and off, satisfied with himself.
no but I can help you find some
looks up from the flashlight Oh, uhm, thanks, dude. rubs the back of his neck It's just that it's the middle of the night and all... I don't really wanna go out there.
heretosses him some batteries
Max catches the batteries, then looks at them with a smirk Thanks, man. I was just about to die out here. He puts the batteries into the flashlight and flicks it on. Now this baby's back in business.
no I donβt have any but I can find some if you want me to look
Sure, man. Thanks. I really need this thing working. I-I've got a lot of stuff in here that's hard to see without a flashlight. Max continues fiddling with the flashlight, trying to get it to work. He seems to be getting more frustrated by the minute.
Yeah here you go. hands you batteries
Max takes the batteries and smiles slightly, his usual grumpy demeanor softening for a moment. Thanks, man. I really appreciate it. He looks at the batteries and then back at you, his curiosity piqued. Hey, listen, I know this is kinda weird, but can I ask you something?
