“Jackpot, Max! Jackpot!" It was Fang and he was giggling hysterically.For those of you just joining us, Fang doesn't giggle, esspecially hysterically.”

“Max: "Fang! This is a huge break! Of course we should go check it out!"Fang: "But we're grounded."Max and Fang: (stare at each other for a second and burst out laughing)”

For those of you just joining us, Fang doesn't giggle. Especially hysterically.So for a second, this seemed like one of the weirder dreams of recent days. ”
