Home Improvement, Season 2

Tim:
Jill met my girlfriend.

Wilson:
Well, I can't say that I approve of that.

Tim:
No, my old high-school girlfriend.

Wilson:
Oh.

Tim:
She's kind of annoyed about something I didn't do years ago.

Wilson:
A sin of omission.

Tim:
It wasn't that bad. When I broke up with this girl, I never called to tell her.

Wilson:
So, you lied to her?

Tim:
No.

Wilson:
Well, according to Robert Louis Stevenson, you did. He said, "The cruelest lies are often told in silence."

Tim:
Hm. But didn't Calvin Coolidge say nothing he never said ever did him any harm?

Wilson:
Very good. Thomas Mann once said, "A harmful truth is better than a useful lie."

Tim:
Not bad. Wait, wait, wait! Turkish proverbs was, "He who tells the truth will be chased out of nine villages."

Wilson:
Excellent. But I believe the final word would be Heywood Broun. "For truth there is no deadline."

Tim:
Oh, that's three to two. You beat me, Wilson.
