1:07:01
Not a bad idea.
1:07:03
A bit subtle for me,
I'm afraid.

1:07:09
Are you married?
1:07:11
Yes.
1:07:13
Tell me about the last time
you lied to your wife.

1:07:17
Then we're even.
1:07:24
Well, we were...
1:07:26
we were having dinner
the other night.

1:07:28
It was
our wedding anniversary.

1:07:30
About halfway through the meal, I
drifted off the way that I do, you know.

1:07:36
She brought me back.
"What are you thinking?" she said.

1:07:39
I told her.
I'm thinking how...

1:07:43
how nice she looked,
how beautiful she still was.

1:07:47
And this was very pleasant, and we
should do it as often as we used to.

1:07:50
You were lying.
1:07:52
No, I was telling
the truth.

1:07:55
But in between thinking how nice she
looked and we should do this more often,

1:07:59
I was... also thinking
of a young woman...

1:08:03
on the other side
of the restaurant.

1:08:06
She was very pretty.
1:08:08
"Shapely,"
my father used to say.

1:08:12
But what struck me
more than all that was that...

1:08:16
she had
the most lovely smile.

1:08:22
Should I have told my wife,
do you think?

1:08:26
Would it have upset her?
1:08:28
Yes.
1:08:30
So, the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth...

1:08:33
isn't the truth?
1:08:51
Some things
are better left unsaid.

1:08:56
"Thank you"
isn't one of them.

1:08:59
Thank you.
