Okok I know when Travis grabs Max like a dog and calls him "good boy" it's supposed to be funny bec Max is a werewolf, but I also like to think of it in context of Travis. To Travis, being called a "good boy" is the highest praise his parents have ever awarded their sons. "A good boy takes care of his family", right?

So in the context of the scene, Max was resisting against Travis and asserting that Travis could question him right there in his cell, he was unwilling to leave Laura alone in the cells/be separated from her again for any reason. If Laura doesn’t stop him he keeps resisting! So I think that even though it was mostly a joke about him being a werewolf, I also think Travis was affording Max a compliment for his loyalty to/protectiveness of Laura even though he was in no position to resist.

#lindsay speaks #the quarry #// the quarry spoilers #i seriously think even though he had to remain removed and intimitating Travis heavily respected Laura & Max's relationship #i think they're a parallel to the hackett family. the hacketts are connected by blood but they're broken. the parents are backwards for #lack of a better word & bobby is just a huge man child. loyalty is the most important thing to them WITH CONDITIONS #you are a good boy IF you protect your family (do everything i say & never question me)#whereas with laura & max (on a good relationship route mind you) there aren't any conditions #let's just look through it here. max got them lost? that's okay they'll work together to get to the destination.#max literally crashes the car deep in the woods? to be fair he swerved to make sure he didn't hit the animal/person which was done #with pure intentions. let's do our best to fix the car & make sure no one was hurt.#laura said she called ahead but actually just left a voicemail? that's a really irritating detail to leave out but let's cool down &#figure something out. laura mistakenly tries to save someone & gets max injured & infected? that's okay she meant well!#laura snoops thru max's things? he forgives it within 5 minutes. max didn't tell her abt getting rejected from college?#laura understands that he was embarassed & empathizes with his situation reassuring max that he can rely on her #MAX LITERALLY GETS INFECTED BY A WEREWOLF & THE ONLY WAY TO CURE IT IS TO KILL SOMEONE? Laura loads a gun & gets ready to shoot #no matter what else he thinks of them; there's no way Travis doesn't admire the TRUE loyalty and love between Max & Laura #they ARE each other's family and they take care of each other. especially if Laura directly tells Travis she will NOT leave Max behind #we get a notif that he admires her dedication. i think that goes for a lot of Travis's relationships with both of them.#a good kid protects their family & they do just that. even when they escape Travis doesn't blame them (as long as Laura doesn't SHOOT him)#even if Laura kills Travis to reunite w/ Max in the end; i think Travis on some level would understand. he would do the same thing.
