Trick or Quote

Boba Fett and a monkeyDoc: This is very special. Usually we pick the candy when  trick-or-treaters come, but because you’re our favorite, we are going to let you pick!  Choose three for your bucket.

Owen carefully and slowly chooses three different candies and puts them in his bucket.  A few minutes later, Doc opens a Recess Peanut Butter Cup. Owen inhales deeply and loudly.

Owen:  Man, that smells good too!  (pause with a furrowed brow) But I just have to make my OWN decisions.  (turns away from Doc and the good smelling candy.)

Jack: Who’s eating that?

Doc:  I was.

Jack:  Are you going to eat ALL of it?
