Dinner at Trent's Beach House, Explained：grinding on
Duncan is handed off to Peter and then dropped into an adults' dinner that he cannot enjoy. At the table someone mishears a lyric as "Carry a laser," and Kip introduces himself as the one who is not grinding on anyone. Everyone else is having fun; Duncan is not.

What's really going on
The chapter is a study in a boy being out of place. Duncan is passed from one adult arrangement to another, introduced as a son and then ignored while the grown-ups perform. The comedy hides a small cruelty: the lines about Peter's action figures, about his eye, about who is grinding on whom, all come at the expense of the people least able to fight back. "I told you. Your eye makes people uncomfortable" is the chapter's coldest line, and it comes from his own mother. The song nonsense is funny, but the film keeps the discomfort in view. Duncan's defence is silence, and the camera notices it.
Theme
Family conflictDuncan is handed between adults and mocked, including by his own mother, at a dinner party he cannot escape.
LonelinessSurrounded by adults performing, Duncan is the only person sitting still and saying almost nothing.

このシーンについての質問
Why is Duncan made to spend time with Peter?
Both boys are on the same holiday and about the same age, so the mothers arrange it. Duncan is reluctant and says he needs to check with his mom.
What does 'grinding on' mean?
It means pressing and moving your body against someone, usually on a dance floor. Kip uses it to joke that he is the one not doing it.
Why does Pam say Duncan's eye makes people uncomfortable?
She offers it as a reason he should cover it up, but it comes out as a casual criticism of her own son in front of the other adults.
How does Duncan behave during the dinner?
He mostly stays silent and watches. When Trent asks about a dent in the car roof, he answers briefly and lets Pam smooth it over.
Why do the adults keep joking about 'Carry a laser'?
They mishear the lyric in the song playing at the party and find it so absurd that they keep repeating it, which becomes the table's running joke.
