Max has been outside since before sunrise, practicing his marksmanship. When he walks in at around 11 o'clock, he's carrying in a stack of paper targets, all of which have been shot straight through the center.

He looks Very Smug.

"Bar? A raspberry lemonade, please."

Ben looks up. It's Max.

Ben resumes reading about Sayid.

Max hasn't noticed Ben, just yet. After the trade off of targets-for-lemonade is done, he turns on his heel to lean against Bar and observe the goings-on.

And that's when he notices Ben.

Hmph.

Two can play at the 'LA LA LA I'M IGNORING YOU' game!

Ben closes that newspaper, reaches for another.

Really, except for Sayid and Kate's trial, the Oceanic 6's lives are boring.

Hmph.

Max is just going to be over here, looking at everything BUT Ben and gnawing on his straw.

Gnaw. Gnaw. GNAW.

And now that Max has obliterated his straw, he has nothing to distract himself with, so...

"YOU CAN'T IGNORE ME FOREVER, BEN."

Ben looks up quickly, sharply at Max, and --

-- resumes reading about the Oceanic 6.

Grumble.

Men.

Max finishes off his lemonade, drops a $20 on Bar to knock his tab down a little bit, then folds his arms and resumes his leaning-and-watching position.

Yep, Ben's gonna continue to ignore him unless Max walks over and does something drastic. Like kick his ass, kill him, or snog him rotten.

Yeah, those are three options that haven't crossed Max's mind just yet.

Um, thankfully.

"Ben."

Ben is:

a) not going to dignify that with a response
b) run into Max's arms, weeping and begging for forgiveness
c) a ninnyheaded ninkapoop

If you guessed a, you win a cookie!

Max's guess would have been C.

A little louder: "Ben."
