Max: I didn't realize it was such an honor to go trick-or-treating with you.
Dustin: Yeah, I mean, we know where to get the full-sozed candy bars. We figured you'd want in.
Max: That's presumptuous of you.
Dustin: ...Yeah. Totally. Uh, so, um... You'll come?

Dustin: We're meeting at the Maple Street cul-de-sac at 7:00. That's 7:00 on the dot!
[to Lucas]
Dustin: Presumptuous. That's a good thing, right?
Lucas: [sighs and walks away]
Dustin: Is it bad? Lucas, is it bad? Lucas? Son of a bitch, Lucas! Is it bad?
