Jazmine: Have you picked a Halloween costume? Huey: I don't celebrate evil. Jazmine: Halloween isn't evil. It's fun. Don't you like candy? Huey: I can buy candy at the store. Jazmine: Well, while you're there, see if you can buy a childhood. Bye. Huey: Yeah? Well, uh... Ouch.
Huey makes a good point about the candy and he knows Halloween was founded by the ancient Celts who viewed dead spirits with fear whereas Huey’s ancestors were comfortably connected with the Spirit World.
