I wouldn't have gone.

[ Ash takes a step back. ]

The address wouldn't have been enough to make me go. I'd already decided what would have happened if I did go.

[ Max can read between the lines. Ash 'knew' he'd be rejected and decided not to risk it. He had, he's glad he had, so it's his way of saying thanks. ]

They're both the kind of guys who'll be here early so hurry up.
