before our first ride,

with Bill.

You're very lucky.

Bill is an excellent coach.

He will teach you to go beyond

the complaints of your bodies.

Running gives us stamina.

Makes us into

excellent riders.

( horse whinnying )

Mrs. G:

Good morning.

Bill:

Good morning, girls.

- This is Franny...

- Hi. Bill.

- Becky...

- Hi.

and Jenny.

I'm so happy

to meet you.

Jane has already told me

a lot about you.

So, here we go.

Jane, why don't you run scout,

I'll run gunner.

We'll see how everyone does,

and then we'll switch it up

in the middle.

- Mrs. G:
Come along, girls!

- Bill:
All right.

Bill:

I am Nouga and you are Neets!

When I say Nouga,

you say Neets!

- Nouga!

- All:
Neets!

- Nouga!

- Neets!

- Nouga! Nouga!

- Neets! Neets!

- Nouga!

- Neets!

Okay, Franny,

you're doing great.

- Just walk for a few minutes.

- Okay.

Jane?

Mrs. G:

Good girl, Jenny.

I'll walk with them.

Meet you at the top.

- Nouga!

- Neets!

- Nouga! Nouga!

- Neets! Neets!

- Nouga!

- Neets!

- Nouga! Nouga!

- Neets! Neets!

Martin?

Franny?

( tapping keyboard )

Jennifer:

Funny how you live with people

in your mind.

Inside of you,

they're always the same.

And you live

with them happily.

Never wanting

anything to change.

Jennifer:

As documentarians,

you all have been developing

your own unique skills,

unconsciously,

since you were born.

I'll speak from my experience.

I was a super-shy kid.

I felt invisible.

At home, at school.

So I learned to adapt.

I taught myself the skill

of being a chameleon

so that I could fit

into people's worlds,

their environment...

and have some friends.

( laughter )

Let's try something.

Joe, how would you like

to be a guinea pig today?

Sure.

Everybody say hi to Joe.

All:

Hey, Joe.

( applause )

So, we learn about the truth

by reading people, right?

It's how we get

to know them.

So, what about Joe?

His body language--

it's defensive.

- Well, you're--

- ( students laugh )

Let's change it up, Joe.

All right, so there's a point.

We learn a lot

from people's bodies.

They tell us a lot.

So let's keep investigating.

What else?

Are you depressed, Joe?

No.

Do we believe Joe?

Do you believe yourself?

A little bit.

So, good point.

So that means he didn't

tell you the truth.

Right?

So how do we get to know?

How do we go beyond

what the person is telling us?

- Yeah?

- How do we know when

- we've crossed the boundary?

- ( cell phone vibrates )

Excuse me.

One second, guys. Sorry.

Keep talking to Joe.

( cell phone vibrating )

Hey, Franny?

Franny:

Jenny Fox, is that you?

Hi! How good

to hear from you.

So surprised

to get your message.
