Transcript[]
Percy: "I lied for you today at 4:15."
Arthur: "That's not good, Percy. You're rubbish at lying."
Percy: "I was a good liar today!"
Arthur: "Who did you lie to?"
Percy: "Mrs. Boyle."
Arthur: "Mrs. Boyle came here?"
Percy: "Her face was all red. And her voice was like Mum when she's angry. And I thought that you would ask me why she is angry."
Arthur: "Why was she angry?"
Percy: "I decided that she was angry... But I decided that she was angry because you were up the tree next to Sally Boyle's bedroom window last night at 8:15 p.m."
Arthur: "Oh... Bloody hell. What exactly did you say?"
Percy: "I told her that I was in the tree."
Arthur: "Oh, Percy, that's very bad!"
Percy: "No, Arthur, it's brilliant."
Arthur: "Why is it brilliant?"
Percy: "She won't make me be in trouble. Because I'm slow."
Arthur: "You... You didn't have to do that."
Percy: "She told me not to do it again."
Percy: "So I promised I wouldn't."
Arthur: "Thank you."
Percy: "I love you, Arthur."
Arthur: "I love you too."
