Imagine that picture of Audrey Hepburn in that iconic picture from Breakfast at Tiffany's with a vape.

We wouldn't change that cigarette for anything, but it's still a bad lie.

The act of lying is a necessity that we need to use, and it's an act of social grace.

Oh, I love that present you bought me, thank you.

Your cooking tastes delicious.

We're actually very skillful in deceit.

What we need to get more skillful in is determining the difference between the acceptable and unacceptable lie.

We cannot vaccinate ourselves from lies, but by asking the question, who will benefit?

We can build resilience to deception.

I feel very bad to tell you all that we're all on the lion's train.

But the question is, are you going to get off on the good stop or the bad stop?

You're right not to lie.

That was a terrible analogy.

It was terrible, I'm sorry, but you get what I mean.

And I'd like to take this moment to say this is an absolute honor.

Thank you, Ted.

for giving me the greatest moment of my life.

No, no, no, sit down.

Sit down, love, sit down, love, that was a lie.

I'm sorry, it wasn't the greatest moment of my life.
