Mrs. Little: Alright, George, where is he?
Fredrick Little: And this time, the *truth*.
George Little: I'm not sure.
Fredrick Little: [sternly] George, it is *never okay* to lie to your parents
George Little: But is it okay to break a promise to your brother?
Mrs. Little: It's wrong to promise your brother that you'll lie to your parents.
Fredrick Little: George, listen to the tone of my voice. I want you to tell us where Stuart is.
George Little: But it was a promise, brother to brother.
Fredrick Little: George, I understand. I have a brother. But whatever I promised him, if he was in danger, that would matter more to me than the promise.
Mrs. Little: George, how would you feel? How would we *all* feel if anything happened to Stuart?
[pause]
George Little: He's at the Pishkin Building.
George Little: [as they all prepare to leave and find Stuart] Dad?
Fredrick Little: What?
George Little: Am I in trouble?
Fredrick Little: No, son. You're in *big* trouble.
[George cringes when he hears this]
