Yeah right.
DAR
Really. Here they are.
He pulls out a sheet of paper.
MISS LAFF
That's a copy of the test.
DAR
I know. I broke into Zarcon's
computer yesterday and made a copy
of it so I would know what was on
it.
MISS LAFF
But that's cheating!
DAR
So what? It doesn't hurt anyone.
All I'm doing is making sure I have
a good job when I'm done.

Masters.

I want to be a Controller. That's
where the power is.

them in.

from Zarcon's computer?

No.

pants.
JUDGE
It says Liar. Did you steal the
test?
DAR
ABSOLUTELY NOT!
The truth machine flashes even bigger this time. LIAR! LIAR!
LIAR! FLAMES shoot out his pants. Dar dances around and puts
the flames out with a FIRE EXTINGUISHER.
JUDGE
The truth machine says you're
lying. Miss Laff saw you with the
test. And, The computer showed
someone illegally entered the
computer. Do you still say you're
innocent?
DAR
You want me to plead guilty. You're
crazy. You haven't proven
anything.
The truth machine flashes LIAR again. FLAMES shoot out again.
Dar squirts them with the fire extinguisher.
