The Invention of Lying Page #9
I'll love our children.
And who says you'll make a better husband
just because you come from
a more privileged family
She's a prize on your arm.
And your kids will be, too.
Anna.
If you tell me this is what you really want,
I'll go.
Is this what you really want?
Well, now, it's not up to us
to decide what we get in life.
-That's up to the man in the sky.
-I'm talking to her.
Why don't you just ask the man in the sky
what he wants for Anna?
-Surely he knows best.
-She knows what's best.
Just tell her
what the man in the sky wants, Mark.
Why don't you tell me
what the man in the sky wants for us, Mark?
Just please tell me.
No.
Are we married yet?
-Because I have plans later.
-There's a few...
Mark, wait!
Why don't you just tell me
what the man in the sky wants?
-I did a bad thing.
-It's okay.
-You're allowed three.
-No, you don't understand.
There is no man in the sky.
Why did you say there was?
I couldn't stand the look on my mum's face
when she was dying.
And things just escalated.
But how did you say something that wasn't?
I don't know, I just did. I just can.
But when I asked you if being rich
and successful and famous
changed your genetics,
why didn't you just say yes?
'Cause it wouldn't count.
Mark.
I know what I want.
I want little fat kids with snub noses.
I'm your man.
So that's it. I got the girl.
Anna and I are very happy together,
by the way.
She still doesn't fully understand
how I said or did all those things.
No one does.
I'm still the only person who can tell a lie.
Actually, that's not entirely true.
What do you think?
That looks good.
It tastes so good, Mommy.
-Your best yet.
-I'm so glad you like it.
Huh? Oh.
I don't know where to start.
Just start on the bread, maybe,
then work my way up there.
You eat that. You liked it so much.
Why don't you eat some more?
You eat that. You liked it so much.
Why don't you eat some more?
