Not only is Max a Special Agent with the FBI, he's also a lawyer, a graduate of Vanderbilt, and (along with 5 of his six brothers) was adopted after his own parents were tragically killed in an accident when he was 5. His older brother is a quarterback in the NFL and, in his spare time, he talks little boys down from the ledge because he has a "special touch" that apparently no other law enforcement officer in all of St. Louis possesses.
And Ellie? Jesus.
This paragon of perfection is like fucking super woman, people. She's a prodigy genius who started high school at ten years old, schooled math geniuses as a pre-teen, saves choking men in restaurants, and discovers melanoma on gang bangers in police stations just whilst "passing by."
She is also so drop dead gorgeous (of course) that every man present notices her (unbeknownst to her, of course) and was so captivating as an 11 year old that she picked up a stalker from whom she has been running her whole life. And while she's not earning prestigious medical awards that haven't been given out in over a decade prior to her awesomeness, she's giving prenatal advice to wives of FBI agents via phone, and threatening doctors to give people without insurance medical aide.
Holy shit, someone give me the Heimlich Maneuver, because I'm choking on the pretentious bullshit that is this character.

"there are some people who have sold various bugs and viruses for a lot of money."
