Defending Your Life1991

Bob Diamond:
Did we ever stop to think that this young boy had a bond with his father? I don't think it had anything to do with the friend. I just think Daniel couldn't lie to his dad. That's all.

Lena Foster:
You're nodding, Mr. Miller. Does that mean you agree with Mr. Diamond?

Daniel Miller:
Oh, yes. I had a bond with my father. I pretty much never lied to him.

Lena Foster:
You never lied to your father? Would you like me to show you at least 500 examples?

Daniel Miller:
I said "pretty much" never lied. I didn't say I never, ever lied. You have to lie sometimes... in an emergency. But, ah, it doesn't mean the bond is affected. If you've got the bond the bond is always there, and if you have to lie occasionally you're not going to interfere with the bond. You know, the bond can wait for a little lie and... in the end it's there for you. You know, sometimes in the middle of a lie I found that the bond would kick in... maybe squeeze a little truth out.

Bob Diamond:
Psst, wrap it up.

Daniel Miller:
I'm through.
