Bigger Fatter Liar Page #3

---

Uh-huh. So, some guy hits you with his

limousine, then stole your homework?

Look, I know how it sounds...

Actually, Kevin,

I don't think you do.

But I'm telling you the truth.

Maybe I lied a few times

in the past... A few?

Okay, a lot!

But this time,

you have to believe me.

Please!

Enjoy summer school, Kevin.

Economics.

The fundamentals of economics have

remained unchanged for centuries,

with the simple idea

that supply and demand

is the foundation of all commerce in

all fashions all around the world,

wherein, if supply equals "X"

and demand equals

But if we are to understand

that "Y" is greater than "X",

we can invert

the equation and reverse...

Yes!

Yes to economic theory?

Thank you. I agree.

Namaste.

One with the floor.

Respect your center.

What?

Do we have a problem, Mr.

Shepard? Yeah!

That jerk stole my game!

You really expect me

to believe this?

But it's true, Dad.

You can look him up.

His name is Larry Wolf, he's

from Highcroft Electronics,

and he took my social

studies assignment.

Are we back to that lie again?

I'm not lying! Oh, wait a second.

Let me see.

Are your lips moving? Yes.

That means you're lying.

That hurts, Dad.

How do you think I feel, Kev?

I can't even trust my own son.

Now, I'll be back from

New York in three days.

This should tide

you over till then.

And this is for

emergencies only.

You got that?

Got it.

Say it with me. For...

Emergencies only.

Emergencies only.

Your mom was always so proud

of you, Kevin.

I can't help but thinking how

disappointed she'd be with all of this.

I know I am.

But, Dad...

Please...

No more lies.

Highcroft Electronics.

How can I direct your call?

Yes, I'd like to speak to Mr. Larry

Wolf in your Interactive division.

Can I ask who's calling, please?

My name is Kevin Shepard.

And, Mr. Shepard,

what is this regarding?

It's regarding my game, Big Fat

Liar, which he stole from me and...

Please don't call back.

Hello?

Kevin, you've called four times already.

Give it up.

No, not until I talk to Wolf.

Do you know how many crank phone

calls they must get there every day?

From people just like you,

who say they had their idea

for a game stolen?

You might as well forget it.

Okay.

I won't call anymore.

Good.

I'm gonna go see him in person.

What?

Think about it!

He can't hang up on me when

I'm standing in his office.

San Francisco is, like,

2,000 miles away.

My dad said for

emergencies only.

This is an emergency.

So wait, you're just

going to walk in there,

all by yourself and

try to meet this guy?

You're right.

I can't do this alone.

Me? No! I can't go

to San Francisco.

Give me one good reason why not.
