It's from the movie 'Gummo'. The most shocking flick ever, BTW )
Tummler: I'm pretty smart, if I say so myself.
Huntz': Why is that?
Tummler: This afternoon, we walked into a fruit store, and the clerk thinks I'm some out-of-town hick. "Those apples will be two bucks each," he tells me. That's where I outsmarted him. I pass over a five. And as he's about to give me a dollar change, I say, "Keep it, we're even. On the way in, I stepped on a grape.
Is the point like, the boy pretended he's a millionaire? Or it has something to do with hi(s)m sniffing glue? )
A joke I didn't get )

the part about the grape is sarcasm. he is making an indirect comment about the price the guy was charging for apples ($2 apiece is about double what I pay nowadays and I live in a pricey area). 'outsmart' may not be the correct verb. If he were really to outsmart the seller, he would hand the apples back saying "No, thanks, your price is too high."
To answer your questions, no and no.
Also, it's not a joke, or, if so, a pretty lame one.
