Max Rockatansky
- Max Rockatansky: You know, hope is a mistake. If you can't fix what's broken, you'll, uh... you'll go insane.
- [first lines]
- Max Rockatansky: [Narrating] My name is Max. My world is fire and blood. Once, I was a cop. A road warrior searching for a righteous cause. As the world fell, each of us in our own way was broken. It was hard to know who was more crazy... me... or everyone else.
- Max Rockatansky: I am the one that runs from both the living and the dead. Hunted by scavengers, haunted by those I could not protect. So I exist in this wasteland, reduced to one instinct: survive.
- Max Rockatansky: Here they come again... worming their way into the black matter of my brain. I tell myself, they cannot touch me. They are long dead.
- Imperator Furiosa: You never gonna have a better chance.
- Max Rockatansky: At what?
- Imperator Furiosa: Redemption.
- [Max proposes turning back and claiming the Citadel]
- Keeper of the Seeds: I like this plan... we could start again, just like the old days!
- Max Rockatansky: Look, it'll be a hard day.
- [points to the horizon]
- Max Rockatansky: But I guarantee you that a hundred and sixty days ride that way... there's nothing but salt.
- [points back]
- Max Rockatansky: At least that way we might be able to... together... come across some kind of redemption.
- [He holds out his hand. After a pause, Furiosa takes it and clasps tight]
- [Max appears and heads off Furiosa, the Wives, and the Vuvalini. They brake to a stop, and Max shows Furiosa a map]
- Max Rockatansky: [points to the Citadel] All right. This is your way home.
- Imperator Furiosa: [incredulous] We go back?
- Max Rockatansky: Mmm.
- Toast: [incredulous] Back?
- Max Rockatansky: Yeah.
- The Dag: I thought you weren't insane anymore.
- Imperator Furiosa: Hey. What's your name? What do I call you?
- Max Rockatansky: Does it matter?
- Imperator Furiosa: Fine. When I yell "fool," you drive out of here as fast as you can.
- Toast: [Max returns after killing the Bullet Farmer] Are you hurt?
- Max Rockatansky: Huh?
- Toast: You're bleeding.
- Imperator Furiosa: That's not his blood.
- The Valkyrie: It'll take two weeks to skirt the wall of mountains.
- Max Rockatansky: No. I suggest we go back the same way we came. Through the canyon.
- Toast: [after a pause] It's open - we know that, right? He brought all his war parties through.
- Max Rockatansky: So we take the War Rig and charge it right through the middle of them. We can decouple the tanker at the pass, shut it off behind us.
- Keeper of the Seeds: [she and the Dag make the same gesture] Kaboom!
- [laughter]
- Nux: [sneaks up from behind Furiosa and strangles her with his chains] Filth! You traitored him!
- The Splendid Angharad: [Furiosa holds up a knife to Nux's neck] No unnecessary killing!
- Imperator Furiosa: This War Boy wants me dead!
- The Splendid Angharad: We agreed! He's kamakrazee! He's just a kid at the end of his half-life!
- Nux: No! I live, I die, I live again!
- The Splendid Angharad: Hold him!
- Capable: Tie him up!
- Imperator Furiosa: Throw him out!
- The Dag: Chuck him out!
- Max Rockatansky: [to Furiosa] You got more friends.
- Imperator Furiosa: Bullet Farmer. They're coming from the Bullet Farm.
- Nux: It's over. You can't defy him!
- [Furiosa spits at Nux, who spits back at Furiosa]
- The Dag: Just watch us, mate!
- Nux: He is the one who grabs the sun!
- Toast: Look how slick he's fooled you, War Boy.
- Capable: He's a lying old man.
- Nux: By his hand, we'll be lifted up!
- The Splendid Angharad: That's why we have his logo seared on our back! "Breeding stock"! "Battle fodder"!
- Nux: No, I am awaited!
- Capable: You're an old man's battle fodder, killing everyone and everything!
- Nux: We're not to blame!
- The Splendid Angharad: Then who killed the world?
- [throws Nux off the War Rig]
- The Vuvalini: What's there to find at the Citadel?
- Max Rockatansky: Green.
- Toast: And water. There's a ridiculous amount of clear water. And a lot of crops.
- The Dag: It's got everything you need, as long as you're not afraid of heights.
- Keeper of the Seeds: Where does the water come from?
- Toast: [re: Immortan Joe] He pumps it up from deep within the earth. He calls it "Aqua Cola" and claims it all for himself.
- The Dag: And because he owns it, he owns all of us.
- Keeper of the Seeds: I don't like him already.
