:02:02
I didn't do it.
:02:06
Punish him!
:02:13
What happened to your friend Steve?
Do you remember, Mr. Miller?
:02:17
What do you mean?
:02:18
He was expelled from school
two days later, isn't that right?
:02:22
I thought he left on his own.
:02:24
What's the point?
:02:25
I'm looking at the results
of what you call a courageous act.
:02:30
Mr. Miller might have acted bravely
in class...
:02:33
...but we just watched him crumble
a few hours later, and why?
:02:37
At the threat of no television?
:02:38
I was ten years old. Television is
everything to a ten-year-old.
:02:43
It's like heroin. You can't just pull it away.
:02:46
I never wanted to watch.
:02:48
My parents made me because they wanted
to go out and I got hooked.
:02:53
Miss Foster and I
have had this argument before.
:02:56
I think the act itself is what's important.
:02:59
She wants to keep enlarging it
until everything loses meaning.
:03:03
If I fixed a flat tire on your car and
two years later I lose your garden hose...
:03:07
...according to you,
I won't get credit for the flat.
:03:10
I'm just the dummy who lost the hose.
:03:13
Let me suggest this.
:03:15
Did we ever consider that
this boy had a bond with his father?
:03:20
It had nothing to do with his friend.
:03:22
I just think Daniel couldn't lie to his dad.
That's all.
:03:27
You're nodding, Mr. Miller.
Does that mean you agree?
:03:32
I had a bond with my father.
I pretty much never lied to him.
:03:37
You never lied to your father?
:03:39
Would you like to see
at least 500 examples?
:03:43
I said, "pretty much."
I didn't say, "never, ever lied."
:03:47
You have to lie sometimes...
:03:50
...in an emergency.
:03:53
It doesn't mean that the bond is affected.
:03:55
If you've got the bond,
the bond's always there.
:03:58
Even if you lie sometimes,
you won't interfere with it.
