[ he reaches into his pumpkin ]Dad: Now, this… is a peanut scotch-taped to an M&M. Because that’s just how my mind works.
Dad: Now, this… is a Ring-Pop. I told my wife it was a ruby, and she was like, “Can we not? Please.”
[ he reaches into his pumpkin ]Dad: This little guy is a Pez dispenser with my head on it. To make it accurate, I filled it up with what I ate last night. Don’t worry — I just had PEZ!! Diego? What’s going on with that pumpkin?
[ cut to Diego holding a pumpkin with a huge hole in the middle ]Diego: I made the mouth too biiiiig…

Dad: Now, this… this is the movie “Cars 2”. But look what happens when you open the case: [ he opens the empty case ] No DVD! NOW who’s in control? [ he reaches into his pumpkin ] This is Baby Ruth. And this is Adult Ruth.
[ cut to a grown woman ]Adult Ruth: I’m Ruth.
Dad: Whoa-oa, Diego. What happened?
Diego: I got Tee-Peeeeeeeeed!
Dad: [ sighs ] Diego thought he saw a ghost last night, but it turned out it was jsut a sheet over a dead corpse. [ he reaches into his pumpkin ] Okay, look — Now these are razor blades. But they’re still in the PACK! So this time, they’ll have to arrest me for GENEROSITY!
[ he reaches into his pumpkin ]Dad: This… is a Klondike Bar. And what would I do for a Klondike Bar? I’d suck ANYTHING you put in front of me, I’m serious, I don’t care! I LOVE… Klondike Bars.
[ Adult Ruth hands over a glass ]Dad: Ooh! Is that a Candy Corn Mojito? [ he sips it ] Oh, that’s yummy! I guess I’m giving that Two-Year Chip back!
