Zoey: So you told Danny Michael Davis to give me the job?
Max: I suggested it, and he ran with my suggestion.
Zoey: OK, so this job, the thing I am most proud of in my entire life I thought I earned with my skills and my merit, but it turns out that it was just handed to me because why, because what? You felt bad for me? Do you have any idea how embarrassing that is, Max?
Max: It’s not a big deal. I didn’t know I would ever see you again.
Zoey: It’s a huge deal and a pretty darn big secret to be keeping from someone who apparently doesn’t know everything that’s going on in your head.
Max: OK, you want to know the real reason why I told Danny Michael Davis to give you the job instead of me?
Zoey: Yes, please, please enlighten me.
Max: Because you deserved more than anybody. Because I saw your passion and intelligence from minute one and knew instantly that you belonged there because you are a great coder who is meant to be there. And I wasn’t gonna take that opportunity from you even if we had just met that day.
Zoey: That’s really very nice and something that I wish you wouldn’t have kept from me for six whole years.
Max: Now you know. I’m sorry you had to find out like this.
Zoey: Max, wait. I am going to miss you very much.
