- Stop selling, Max. I don't need you.

- I don't want your pain. I don't want your menopausal decay and death! I don't need you, Max. Now get out of here!

- You need me! You need me badly. Because I'm your last contact with human reality.

- I love you. And that painful, decaying love is the only thing between you and the shrieking nothingness you live the rest of the day.

- Then don't leave me.
