Quote #7
This is why we came here, so Freak could show me where he's been. The place is important to him. I understand this much. (9.46)
Real friends care about the stuff their friends care about. Does Max totally get this, or is he just along for the ride?
Quote #8
Grim is saying, "Let's give it a try, nothing else has worked, maybe what he needs is a friend, that's the one thing he's never had with all those special teachers." (12.26)
Grim totally gets it. Adults can try and try with Max, but what he really needs is a peer—someone who gets him. Since he doesn't have any siblings, that's going to come in the form of a friend. Freak, to be exact.
