Harriet the Spy

1:18:00

All right.

1:18:03

"Turn around."

1:18:05

That's not a fortune.

1:18:06

Turn around.

1:18:08

Why?

1:18:09

Turn around.

1:18:11

Golly?

1:18:15

Golly!

1:18:27

Why, Harriet the Spy,

1:18:29

I believe you've grown
a full inch.

1:18:31

Nuh-uh.

1:18:33

You certainly have grown.

1:18:35

Oh, Golly!

1:18:37

So what do I do now, Golly?

1:18:40

"Beauty is truth,
truth beauty.

1:18:43

"That is all
ye know on Earth

1:18:45

and all ye need
to know."

1:18:46

John Keats.

1:18:48

What is that
supposed to mean?

1:18:49

It means you've
got trouble.

1:18:51

You wrote down the
truth in your notebook,

1:18:53

and your friends, who weren't
supposed to see it, did.

1:18:55

Now there are only two
things for you to do,

1:18:57

and you're not going to
like either one of them.

1:18:59

Like what?

1:19:01

Well, you have to apologize
and you have to lie.

1:19:05

But you said never to lie.

1:19:08

I know, I did.

1:19:10

Let me see how
I can explain this.

1:19:13

Sometimes a little lie that
makes people feel better

1:19:17

isn't really wrong.

1:19:19

You know, like,
you can thank someone

1:19:22

for a meal they cooked you,
even if you hated it.

1:19:24

You could tell a sick friend
that they look better,

1:19:26

even if they don't.

1:19:29

Sometimes a really small lie
can be a really big help.

1:19:33

They tried to squash me
like a bug.

1:19:36

It's too hard.

1:19:38

It's not worth it.

1:19:40

Aw, never say
that, Harriet.

1:19:42

You're worth it.

1:19:44

You're an individual,
and you know something?

1:19:46

That makes people nervous.

1:19:47

And it's going to keep making
people nervous your whole life.

1:19:50

My whole life?

1:19:51

Yep.

1:19:52

What do I do?

1:19:54

You stay true to Harriet
and you accept the cost.

1:19:56

Now, come on.

1:19:57

That's enough lessons
for today, okay?
