What's really going on
The film ends by letting Duncan's two worlds touch in public. He introduces Owen to his mother with "This is Owen, my friend who can drive." For Duncan that line is a boast, because Owen is the first adult who treated him as worth something. Owen's reaction is to praise the kid to Pam rather than take credit for it. Trent is present but silent, and Owen makes sure to shake his hand anyway, which quietly marks how far Duncan has moved from being ruled by Trent. The goodbyes at the gate are the payoff: "Take care, Duncan. We're gonna miss you." That line says more about the summer than any speech could, because Duncan arrived as a nobody and leaves as someone the whole park wants to keep.
