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?

1:20:00
You're 11.
1:20:01
I think it's time for you
to start writing something

1:20:04
other than notes.
1:20:06
Like what?
1:20:07
You'll think of something.
1:20:09
Can't you come back
for just a little while?

1:20:12
Oh, no, I never go back.
Only forward.

1:20:16
And you know what else?
1:20:18
Good friends are one
of life's blessings.

1:20:20
Don't give them up
without a fight.

1:20:34
Replicate.
Replicate.

1:20:39
Stupid spores.
1:20:40
Hi, Janie.
1:20:42
Look what you made me do.
1:20:44
This stuff is going to eat
1:20:45
right through the floor.
1:20:47
Three months of incubation
down the porcelain pee hole.

1:20:53
If you roll the rug over it,
it won't show so much.

1:20:57
Oh, so next time you
can ruin the rug?

1:20:59
No.
