Max doesn't have to play a game. Nor convince the lawyers. It is an internal
sense of will that is stronger than those trying to make you play their games.
They will not be able to make you be a muppet.

You are playing a game to convince people that you are not trying to convince
them.

I am playing with you, but not in your game.

Not exactly a wallflower, you come to the dance for the ONE DANCE. Put your
groove on, then leave for the next gig. Its trick or treat, but one good dance
is worth the guessing.
