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.

And this is why I never warmed up to Huey. The boy has absolutely no joy in his life, and he likes it that way.

On the other hand, Huey has been unfair with Jazmine occasionally. Yet, he once apologized to her for hurting her feelings.
