Quote #4

I know it's okay; he's not flipped out because I picked him up and put him on my shoulders like he was a little kid. (6.27)

This is true friendship if we ever saw it. When Max and Freak come together physically, it solidifies the emotional relationship they've already formed.

Quote #5

There's nowhere to go but into the pond, like Freak wants me to. (7.25)

Talk about a literal leap of faith. Max has to trust Freak enough to run into a nasty pond. And you know what? He takes the leap, and it pays off.

Quote #6

Freak is still holding tight to my shoulders and when they ask him for his name, he says, "We're Freak the Mighty, that's who we are." (7.44)

And Freak the Mighty is born. Does giving their bond a name make it any stronger? Does it change the way they think about each other? Or is it just a cool way to refer to themselves?
