When Max asked if there were bad guys in the jungle (a wooded stretch of road on the way to school), he said,
There is such a thing as bad guys. But there's not so many in our world which is Rochester. That'd be a weird thing.He told Max about birthday parties and then noticed a ghost lawn decoration, and told Max that Hallowe'en happens every day (??) and added something I couldn't quite understand about how trick-or-treaters who are old go up to heaven. I almost expected him to say they ask for candy from St. Peter, but he didn't get that explicit.
He got theological at one point:
Sam: That's a weird thing: how do you go up to heaven? Do you just rise or do you just lie on the ground?
Me, shooting from the hip: You lie on the ground til Jesus gathers everyone, then you rise.
He thought that sounded a little odd.
When he noticed I was writing down what he was saying, he said, Write this down: I love candy.
