Quotes 

• Alice Miller : I don't know what you mean by that. You know I never did anything.

  Max Miller : That's right. You didn't do *anything*. You didn't stop them, not once!

  [the kitchen knife rises off the cutting board] 

  Alice Miller : How did you...

  [the knife flies up to her head, following her as she backs against the wall] 

  Alice Miller : Max! Please!

  [the knife moves in, the point right at her eye] 

  Max Miller : For every time you stood there and watched. Pretending it wasn't happening!

  Alice Miller : [afraid]  I'm sorry.

  Max Miller : No you're not. You just don't wanna die.

• Sam Winchester : Look, what they did to you, what they all did to you, growin' up, they deserve to be punished, but...

  Max Miller : Growing up? Try last week.

  [he lifts his shirt, showing ugly bruises and cuts] 

  Max Miller : My Dad still hit me. Just in places people wouldn't see it. Old habits die hard, I guess.

  Sam Winchester : I'm sorry.

  Max Miller : When I first found out I could move things, it was a gift. My whole life, I was helpless. But now I had this. So last week, Dad gets drunk. First time in a long time. And he beats me to hell. First time in a long time. And then I knew what I had to do.

  Sam Winchester : Why didn't you just leave?

  Max Miller : It wasn't about getting away. Just knowing that they'd still be out there... It was about not being afraid. When my Dad used to look at me? There was hate in his eyes. Do you know what that feels like?

  Sam Winchester : [quietly]  No.

  Max Miller : He blamed me for everything. For his job. For his life. For my Mom's death.

  Sam Winchester : Why would he blame you for your Mom's death?

  Max Miller : Because she died in my nursery. While I was asleep in my crib. As if that makes it my fault!

  Sam Winchester : She died in your nursery?

  Max Miller : Yeah. There was a fire. And he'd get drunk, and babble on like she died in some insane way. He said that she burned up. Pinned to the ceiling!

• Sam Winchester : Listen to me Max. What your Dad said, about what happened to your Mom... It's real.

  Max Miller : What?

  Sam Winchester : It happened to my Mom too. Exactly the same. My nursery, my crib, my Dad saw her on the ceiling...

  Max Miller : Then your Dad must've been as drunk as mine.

  Sam Winchester : No. No, it's the same thing, Max! The same thing killed our mothers!

  Max Miller : It's impossible!

  Sam Winchester : This must be why I've been having visions curing the day. Why they're getting more intense. 'Cause you and I must be connected in some way. Your abilities, they started six, seven months ago, right? Out of the blue?

  Max Miller : How'd you know that?

  Sam Winchester : Because that's when my abilities started, Max! I mean yours seem to be much further along, but still this, this means something! Right? I mean for some reason, you and I, you and I were chosen.

  Max Miller : For what?

  Sam Winchester : I don't know. But Dean and I, my brother and I, we're hunting for your Mom's killer. And we could find answers. Answers that could help us both. But you gotta let us go, Max. You gotta let your stepmother go.

  [pause] 

  Max Miller : No. What they did to me. I still have nightmares. I'm still scared all the time, like, like I'm just waiting for that next beating!

  [getting up and starting for the stairs] 

  Max Miller : I'm just tired of being scared! If I do this, it'll be over!

  [Sam follows and blocks him] 

  Sam Winchester : No, don't you get it? It won't. The nightmares won't end, Max. Not like this. It's just... more pain. And it makes you as bad as them. Max, you don't have to go through all this by yourself.

  Max Miller : I'm sorry.

  [Max telekinetically opens a closet and traps Sam inside] 

• [Max is threatening Alice with the gun] 

  Alice Miller : Max, no.

  [Dean moves to protect Alice] 

  Max Miller : [to Dean]  Stay back. It's not about you.

  Dean Winchester : You're gonna kill her, you gotta go through me first.

  Max Miller : Okay.

  [he cocks the gun; Sam bursts in] 

  Sam Winchester : No don't! Don't! Please! Please, Max. Max, we can help you. All right? But this, what you're doing, it's not the solution. It's not gonna fix anything.

  [pause] 

  Max Miller : [quietly]  You're right.

  [He swings the gun around and shoots himself in the head] 

  Sam Winchester : No!
