This was my dinner, dork! Pete: You had cookies for dinner?! Louis: Yeah, man. I get hungry -- I get my dad's propane torch and fry up some slice-and-bakes in the garage. No big deal! Pete: Wow. Friend 2: That has got to be the weirdest lie I've ever heard, Maltby. Louis: Hey, come over for a torched burrito sometime.
