Question number 4: "If you could do any job you wanted, what would that be?"
Liz grinned. Her answer is clear: neurosurgeon.
She glanced at Max and saw that he is not writing anything.
"Do you want to do something else?", she asked. "It seems that this game is more difficult than I thought it will be. I was wrong. We are not as close as I thought we are, if we can't answer these questions without struggles..."
"No! It's fine!", Max said quickly.
He does not want Liz to distance herself from him. Not now when they are by themselves, on a boat, playing a game which should be fun for both of them. He scolded himself, why is he thinking about Irene, or about his father? Instead of enjoying with Liz, he is creating this awkward atmosphere.
'Get yourself together, Max! Use this to your advantage!', he encouraged himself.
