Quote context

[...]

- Where's your mother?

- Downstairs.

- Now, remember, Alan, it isn't that I want you to go contrary to your mother. She's right about wanting you to be the truthful boy, but in a case like this, it's different.

- There are times when we have to make compromises with the truth. You know, give a little, yield a point in order to gain our end.

- Like getting your college education and helping your family out.

- I know what you mean.

- And remember, Alan, I love you just as much as your mother does, and I wouldn't urge you to do anything I considered out and out wrong.

- I understand, Dad, but Mom's going to feel awful bad.

- Alan, you could tell her your head started to hurt as soon as you got on the witness stand. She'd never know the difference.

- And maybe it will hurt when those lawyers start shooting questions at you.

- Well, I don't know.

- Loretta, come down and get Alan's tie.

- All right, Mother, I'm coming.
