Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I was surprised when you called me Max.

It's normal for people to call other people.

I know that

but you usually do these hiking trips on your own.

Thought it would be cool.

It's cool.

You don't mind being so isolated?

No, I love it.

Hey, the trail crosses right over this ridge.

What?

The trail crosses just over this ridge.

The hell was that?

What do you think happened?

Could be a weather satellite.

No, those don’t just go down

without anyone noticing.

Max.

So it survived re-entry

10,000 degree heat and that crash landing.

And there's not a scratch on it.

What are you?

Are those military?

You think they're after the box?

Shut up, Ok?

I'm trying to think.

Alright, we need to go.

We need to go.

Get your shit.

Come on!

Ben pack it up, let’s go!

I am, I am.

Hurry up!

We shouldn't have taken it.

Were you going to give it back?

Who knows what they could have done to us.

Arghh!

Shit.

C’mon, do that again.

We come in peace.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Slow.

Hello.

[Phone Ringing]

Hello.

[Ben] Hey, Max. Do you still have the box?

[Max] Yeah.

Of course, I still have it.

No, no, I did not...no.

Hey, look, I gotta I gotta go, okay?

I gotta take care of something again. I'm in the middle of something right now.

I got it. Okay. I'll talk to you later. I got to go.

Okay. Bye.

[Knocking on door]

Maxwell Hopkins

[Knocking on door]

[Knocking on door]

Open the door now or we’re forced to assume you are resisting arrest.

[Max’s Voice coming from the Box] Hello?

What?

[Max’s Voice coming from the Box] We come in peace.

[Door breaks open]

No, please!

Please, let me see it!

Let me see the box!

I need to know. I need to KNOW!

Let me see the box.

It’s all I have.

Please let me see the box.

I need to know!

Please, I NEED TO KNOW!
