:37:01
- Monster Max!
- You came to play catch?
:37:06
l'd like to, but l can't.
l gotta talk to you.
:37:08
Your mommy told me about that wish
you made last night. lt came true, Max.
:37:12
- Really? You mean you
have to tell the truth?
- Yes.
:37:15
- No matter what?
- No matter what!
:37:18
- ls wrestling real?
- ln the Olympics, yes.
On channel 23, no.
:37:21
- Will sitting too close
to the TV set make me go blind?
- Not in a million years.
:37:25
lf l keep making this face,
will it get stuck that way?
:37:28
Uh-uh. ln fact some people
make a good living that way.
:37:33
Now listen, Max.
You've gotta do something for me.
:37:36
l need you to take back that wish.
:37:39
- So you can lie?
- Yes.
:37:41
But not to you.
You see, Max,
:37:45
sometimes grownups need to lie.
:37:50
lt's hard to explain,
but if--
:37:53
Look, here's a good example.
When your mommy was pregnant with you,
:37:57
she gained 40 pounds;
there was nothing she wouldn't eat.
:37:59
And Daddy was scared.
But when she'd ask me, ''How do l look?''
:38:02
l'd say, ''Honey, you look great.
You're glowing.''
:38:06
lf l had told Mommy she looked like
a cow, it would have hurt her feelings.
:38:09
- Understand?
- My teacher tells me
real beauty's on the inside.
:38:12
That's just something
ugly people say.
:38:16
Max, no one can survive
in the adult world if they
have to stick to the truth.
:38:20
l could lose my case, l could lose
my promotion, l could even lose my job.
:38:23
Now, l need your help, Max.
:38:25
(Sighs) Okay.
:38:28
Okay. Do whatever
you did last night,
:38:32
only this time,
make it an ''unwish.''
:38:44
l did it.
:38:46
Excellent!
:38:48
Now, l just need
a little test.
