550
01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:58,900
Let me explain something to you.
In America, we have this thing called bosses.

551
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:02,980
Sometimes they're just assholes. And they
have too much power for their tiny brains.

552
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:07,620
And they get angry when you don't follow
their orders. But you have to put up with it...

553
01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:12,420
because you need money to live
and to eat and to go to school.

554
01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:16,100
So I'm gonna try and get you more
job interviews. It's not gonna be easy.

Having all read <i>Huckleberry Finn</i>,
can anyone tell me what "the good lie" means?

577
01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:41,500
Huck uses lies to survive
in undesirable situations.

578
01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:47,364
Exactly. But later in the book,
the lies change. How so?

579
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:52,489
They change because Huck changes.

580
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:54,970
Yes. Keep going.

581
01:04:55,200 --> 01:05:00,540
When he tells the slave hunters that
he has no slaves, his lie is credible.

582
01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:03,580
So he lies well.
But what is more important...

583
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:07,060
is that it is an unselfish lie,
because it saves Jim.

584
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:11,763
Jim's freedom means more to Huck than
the money he would get for turning him in.

585
01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:14,725
So it is a good lie.

586
