0:01:14 > 0:01:20I am Diogenes of Sinope, and I am looking for an honest man.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23- Are YOU an honest man? - I don't know.

0:01:23 > 0:01:25- I think so.- No, he isn't.

0:01:25 > 0:01:30He took my snowball. He's lied about it for years.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33- Delta Omega, I did not... - Don't listen to him.

0:01:33 > 0:01:38I know where you can find what you're looking for.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41SHE WHISPERS

0:02:06 > 0:02:12I am Diogenes of Sinope, and I am looking for an honest man.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15- Any honest men in here? - GRUNTING

0:02:15 > 0:02:19- No, just honest Tibble. - A lantern! Let me see!

0:02:19 > 0:02:22No, it's mine! I saw it first!

0:02:23 > 0:02:28Oh, why couldn't I have looked for the meaning of life instead?

0:02:32 > 0:02:34Aargh!

0:02:34 > 0:02:40Kevin was taken into the spaceship, and the alien took his ice cream.

0:02:40 > 0:02:45- Kevin knew the alien wanted more ice cream.- But he didn't have any.

0:02:45 > 0:02:51- He tried to give the alien gum, candy...- Little pieces of cheese.

0:02:51 > 0:02:56- But it was no good.- The alien took him. It was the last we saw of HIM.

0:02:56 > 0:03:00- All that's left of Kevin now is... - SNIFF!

0:03:00 > 0:03:03- ..this pencil!- Argh!

0:03:03 > 0:03:09Hey, wait a minute. If you never saw Kevin again, how do you know this?

0:03:10 > 0:03:15A bird told me. The aliens can turn into animals.

0:03:15 > 0:03:22If you listen closely, you can even understand what they're saying.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25TWEETING

0:03:26 > 0:03:30Can you hear them? They're saying,

0:03:30 > 0:03:36- "Ice cream!" - BOTH: "Ice cream! Ice cream!"

0:03:36 > 0:03:41Aargh! Here, tell them they can have it.

0:03:44 > 0:03:49- Mmm! Strawberry.- Hey, how come you get the first bite?

0:03:49 > 0:03:53- My stories were better than yours. - Were not!- Were too!

0:04:00 > 0:04:02Look, a Bionic Bunny doll.

0:04:02 > 0:04:08- I saw a commercial for it. Did you know it can fly?- Watch this!

0:04:08 > 0:04:11Hey, Vacita, how's your pony?

0:04:11 > 0:04:17- I don't have a pony.- You don't? We got two ponies for Christmas.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20No, Timmy, it was THREE.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23Mom sent one from, er, Las Vegas.

0:04:23 > 0:04:27Yeah, you're right. We DO have three ponies.

0:04:27 > 0:04:33I forget about Thumper. We never have time to ride and brush him.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35I'll take him. Give Thumper to me.

0:04:35 > 0:04:39I'll take good care of him. Please, please!

0:04:39 > 0:04:43- Please, please! - OK. Just give us the doll.

0:04:43 > 0:04:49But that's Alberto's. I'm not even supposed to be playing with it.

0:04:49 > 0:04:55- Uh! Oh, well, I guess we'll just have to give Thumper to DW.- Wait!

0:04:58 > 0:05:02TWINS: One, two, three! Fly-y-y!

0:05:07 > 0:05:09Uh-oh!

0:05:09 > 0:05:13We thought he could fly, like on the commercial.

0:05:13 > 0:05:17Yeah. It's the TV's fault. The TV lied to us.

0:05:17 > 0:05:21Like you lied to my sister, promising her a pony.

0:05:21 > 0:05:25How do you propose to pay Alberto back for the toy?

0:05:25 > 0:05:28It cost 17.95.

0:05:28 > 0:05:34- You could have this cow. It moos if you squeeze it.- It doesn't break

0:05:34 > 0:05:36when you throw it out the window.

0:05:36 > 0:05:41I'm 13. Do you think I want to play with a plastic cow?

0:05:41 > 0:05:45How about this? If you promise never to lie again,

0:05:45 > 0:05:49you don't have to pay me back right away.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51BOTH: You can count on us!

0:05:51 > 0:05:56Then he said Timmy and I were the most smartest kids ever.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58He did?

0:05:58 > 0:06:03- Maybe he didn't use THOSE words. - But that's what he meant to say.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06OK, we have enough rocks.

0:06:06 > 0:06:12- What are we gonna do?- Play rock ball. Hit it as hard as you can.

0:06:12 > 0:06:18- Here.- Are you SURE we're allowed to play this?- Oh, Grandma doesn't mind.

0:06:18 > 0:06:21She just doesn't want us to play baseball,

0:06:21 > 0:06:25but this game is a whole different ball game.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27Batter, on!

0:06:28 > 0:06:32Ow! ..Uh!

0:06:32 > 0:06:34Uh!

0:06:34 > 0:06:37But it's not OUR fault.

0:06:37 > 0:06:41- DW did it!- Whose idea was it to play baseball with rocks?

0:06:41 > 0:06:44You could really hurt someone.

0:06:44 > 0:06:49- I wasn't playing baseball. Were you, Tommy?- Nope.

0:06:49 > 0:06:54- I'm not allowed to play.- I don't even know how to play.- Me neither.

0:06:54 > 0:07:00Telling the truth is more than just changing words for things. I tried.

0:07:00 > 0:07:04I wouldn't be surprised if you two ended up in jail.

0:07:04 > 0:07:11- Wow! We didn't get punished at all. - Yeah, and we didn't even lie...

0:07:11 > 0:07:13kind of.

0:07:14 > 0:07:19- Tommy, what's jail?- It's where they put grown-ups who've been bad.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22I saw it on TV.

0:07:22 > 0:07:27You sit in a room with metal bars and you can't leave,

0:07:27 > 0:07:29not even to see your grandma,

0:07:29 > 0:07:35- and sometimes you have to stay there for ten years.- Ten years!

0:07:35 > 0:07:40I had a time-out for ten minutes once, but ten YEARS!

0:07:43 > 0:07:48- I can play that louder than you! - It's still my turn.

0:07:48 > 0:07:52- Let go!- Let go!- Give it.- It's mine! - I had it first!

0:07:54 > 0:07:59- Sh! - Hey, Tibbles, you got a vistor.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01Look, it's the two half-truths.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04PRISONERS: Tell any good lies? Liar!

0:08:07 > 0:08:11Hello, dears. How have you been? Is the food OK?

0:08:11 > 0:08:16- No, it's terrible.- We haven't been able to eat a thing.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19I brought you this cherry pie.

0:08:21 > 0:08:26But what if you're lying again? What if the food is quite good?

0:08:26 > 0:08:31- How do I know you're telling the truth?- We ARE, Grandma.- We promise!

0:08:31 > 0:08:34- SOBBING:- I wish I could believe you.

0:08:39 > 0:08:44Do YOU like cherry pie? It's home-made.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46BOTH: No-o!

0:08:46 > 0:08:51- I don't wanna go to jail. - Me neither.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53From now on, I'm telling the truth.

0:08:53 > 0:08:58The whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me, Grandma.

0:08:58 > 0:09:03- Ow!- Ow!- Ow!- Ow!

0:09:04 > 0:09:07BOTH: Cookies!

0:09:07 > 0:09:10BOTH: Mmm! Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!

0:09:10 > 0:09:13Did you eat all those free samples?

0:09:13 > 0:09:17We cannot tell a lie. BOTH: WE did it!

0:09:17 > 0:09:21They were THAT good? Have some more?

0:09:21 > 0:09:23- I like telling the truth.- Me too.

0:09:23 > 0:09:27DOORBELL RINGS

0:09:27 > 0:09:33Hi, Tommy and Timmy. I bet you want to borrow my Mary Moo Cow tapes.

0:09:33 > 0:09:38No, we just came by to tell you you're too bossy.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40And you sing Crazy Bus too much.

0:09:40 > 0:09:44Hi, Mrs Read, your house smells like dog.

0:09:46 > 0:09:52- < You've a funny name.- You'll never get a pony. They cost too much.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55SHE BAWLS

0:09:55 > 0:09:58Your head is too big.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06- You believe anything.- I do?

0:10:08 > 0:10:10Your nose is too small.

0:10:12 > 0:10:18- ANGRY VOICE ON PHONE - Uh-huh. ..Sorry you feel that way.

0:10:18 > 0:10:20- 'Goodbye.'- Bye.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23Emily never wants to see us again.

0:10:23 > 0:10:29That's what DW said, and Vacita. Who are we supposed to play with now?

0:10:29 > 0:10:33- I don't know. Er, how about Kevin? - No. He's not real.

0:10:33 > 0:10:37- We made him up, remember?- Oh, yeah.

0:10:37 > 0:10:43Your idea about always telling the truth wasn't such a good one.

0:10:43 > 0:10:47- MY idea?! It was YOUR idea. - No, it wasn't.

0:10:47 > 0:10:51- Yes, it was.- No, it wasn't. - Yes, it WAS.

0:10:51 > 0:10:56You make me so mad, sometimes I wish I didn't have a twin,

0:10:56 > 0:10:58and that's the truth!

0:11:01 > 0:11:05- Wait! - TOMMY SOBS

0:11:07 > 0:11:13Hey! What, no rock ball today? I wore my bike helmet for nothing.

0:11:13 > 0:11:17Alberto, I'm never gonna play rock ball again.

0:11:17 > 0:11:23- I'll probably never play anything with anyone ever again.- Why?

0:11:23 > 0:11:27Because everybody's mad at me for telling the truth.

0:11:27 > 0:11:31- Timmy said he wished he didn't have a twin.- I was angry.

0:11:31 > 0:11:35- It was the truth.- Look, just because you are being honest now,

0:11:35 > 0:11:38you don't have to say everything

0:11:38 > 0:11:41- that pops into your heads. - BOTH: We don't?

0:11:41 > 0:11:48No. Why not try telling the truth and being nice at the same time?

0:11:48 > 0:11:51Most of the time, I like having a twin.

0:11:51 > 0:11:55In fact, you're my best friend in the whole world.

0:11:56 > 0:12:01- You're so nice. - Yeah, and really, really generous.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04When you have candy, you always share.

0:12:04 > 0:12:08I want to be just like you when I grow up.

0:12:08 > 0:12:12Really? Wow! I'm a role model.

0:12:12 > 0:12:18You want some gummy eels? TWINS: Mmm! Yum! Mmm! Yum!

0:12:18 > 0:12:21I like being nice AND honest.

0:12:21 > 0:12:25Me, too. Is that what grown-ups call flattery?

0:12:25 > 0:12:28I don't know, but it works like a charm.
