00:00I wasn't just the swat in the class. I was the person who would say, that person is copying notes from the other person.
00:06I was the tattletale in the class, like getting people into trouble.
00:10Because even then I hated cheating, because there I was.
00:13I wanted to be first in the class, and I've done all the work.
00:15And then there's some people who are copying notes, and so why should they get away with it?
00:19And so I'd raise up my hand. I remember there was this extraordinary day.
00:22I was in, I must have been about 14 or 15.
00:25And I said, he's cheating. I stood up in the middle of the exam, and I stood up and said, he's cheating.
00:28He's the one that's doing it.
00:30And that boy ended up getting expelled.
00:32And I didn't get praised for it.
00:34And I was a relatively popular kid at school.
00:38And people said, why did you do that? Why would you do that?
00:41And I said, because he was doing the wrong thing.
00:43And someone said, you don't belong here.
00:45That you don't know how to behave. You don't belong here.
00:47And I've heard that all my life.
00:49You don't follow the rules. You don't do what you're supposed to.
00:53You're always sticking your head above the parapet.
00:55You're too direct.
00:56You tell the truth when you don't need to tell the truth when you should pipe down.
01:00And I didn't belong there.
01:01Hang on a second.
01:03So you're 14 years old, and in the middle of an exam...
01:0514 or 15.
01:0614 or 15, you see a boy cheating.
01:08In the middle of an exam, in the middle of an exam hall, you stand up.
01:11And you snitch on this kid who's cheating, who ends up getting expelled.
01:16No wonder you're so unpopular back at school.
01:18You sound really annoying.
01:18I was...
01:19Do you know what?
01:21The people who did that sort of thing hated it.
01:24But someone did say to me...
01:26It was the right thing to do.
01:26Yeah, that you were the only person who would ever have the guts to do that.
01:29He's going to talk about the truth.
01:31He has been doing it.
01:32He wants to do it.
01:32He wants to do it.
01:33He wants to do it.
01:34I've got a good chance.
01:34He wants to do it.
01:35He wants to do it.
01:36He wants to do it.
01:38And he wants to do it.
01:39I'm sorry.
