Flashback:
Malina’s Mother: Shh. We're gonna be safe
Young Malina: [Weapons fire overhead and Malina screams]
Wumba: [Neron's Qandhar army round up the Snake/Naga humanoid people] Choose a side or die. One side a revelation, the other an honour known only to a few.
Neron: [to a young Malina] What's wrong little one?
Young Malina: My mother. Where's my mother?
Neron: What's your name?
Young Malina: Malina.
Neron: You're quite the fighter Malina. Come, let me help you. [Walks Malina away from the people being rounded up] Look. [Pulls out a doube edged switchblade] Pretty, isn't is? [Balances it on his index finger] Perfectly balanced, as all things should be. Too much to one side and the other...[Hands it to Malina] Here, you try.
Wumba: [to one half of the Snake/Naga humanoid people about to be slaughtered by the Qandhar] Now go in peace and meet your maker.
Neron: [Malina turns to see what the fuss is about] Uh-uh, concentrate. There, you got it.
Flashback ends.

Carl: Why'd you pull me out of ???
Max: As punishment for blowing up the McCraw's mailbox with M80s.
Carl: I was 13. *That* you remember. *That*!
Max: Oh, old enough to know better.
Carl: You didn't come to my high school graduation or college. Why?
Max: [Overlapping] Oh, boo-hoo. "Why?" Plumber business, truancy, I don't get to reward anything! None of your business!
Carl: I graduated from *high school*, for crying out loud.
Max: As opposed to what? Dropping out? Let me tell you something, okay? I put a roof over your head, money in your pocket, clothes on your back... *food* in your *mouth*! Who paid for that college education? I never showed up to kiss your sorry bottom, but Sandra? She's a house wife! Why couldn't you swallow your pride and just come home to her? You tell me why!
Carl: [On the verge of tears] You know, you'd invite people at the end of their parole back to the Plumbers... You'd *recognize* those who did their time, turned their lives around, made something of themselves. Everyone in the Plumbers applauded, and you made sure they did! Tell them how *proud* you were... Proud of strangers!
Max: Is that all you wanted, Carl, was a kind word? An 'atta boy? Then to use your words, you should have *come* the home! Me and Frank waited, *quietly*, but you never came. Okay? And I was the one your mother would blame, because you wouldn't come home. Me. Now, was I tough on you? Yes. How'd you turn out, Carl? Waiting tables? A bum?
Carl: You put me in ???... you sent me to ???!
Max: [Interrupting] No, no, no, no, no, you put yourself there.
Carl: Did I?
Max: Yes.
Carl: The ??? recommended ???. That was *your* call!
Max: No, no, no, it wouldn't have *helped* you!
Carl: I didn't need *help*, I needed *you*!
Max: You were high, you rode a car without your son in it! He had a major league career ahead of him, a 90 mile-an-hour fast ball, and he won a trophy for his team! You ditched him, you denied him encouragement, and you call *me* a pain in the neck?
Carl: What do you want from me? I was around my 30’s when that happened. I was *???*.
Max: Oooh, "I was 13, I was ???." You were headed down the wrong path! I did what I thought was right.
Carl: [Holding back tears] You know, I didn't just graduate from high school, I graduated first in my class... I was *first* in my class... I did *really* well, dad.
Max: You're welcome. [Walks out of the room]
Carl: [Grits his teeth and clenches his fist; he sits at the kitchen table, speaking in a barely audible voice] Uh...this house... the heck with this *stupid* house...

Trivia:[]

King Neron has the same appearance and voice actor as the Mad Titan, Thanos, only difference is that it is more robotic.
It is shown that Ben and Max have settled their differences, because Ben knows Max was always like a father figure to him, and that he would forgive him no matter what, and it is also shown Max now looks to the future instead of the past.
