Quote #7
MICHAEL: Where's the playground?
ELLIOTT: It's near the preschool!
MICHAEL: Where's that?
ELLIOTT: I don't know streets! Mom always drives me!
MICHAEL: Son of a b****.
Look: Michael and Elliott may have commandeered a federal vehicle, but they're still kids.
Quote #8
ELLIOTT: He's a man from outer space, and we're taking him to his spaceship.
GREG: Well, can't he just… beam up?
ELLIOTT: This is reality, Greg.
Duh, Greg. The matter-of-factness of Elliott's explanation, as well as Greg accepting it wholesale, reflect their youth. It also shows a change in the power structure. Up until this point in the film, Greg (and all of Michael's friends) treated Elliott like a pain in the butt. Now Greg's in the annoying little brother position.
