Mommy I'm Not Lying
Category
🎥
Short filmTranscript
00:00Mom was obsessed with science-based parenting, so when my twin sister Mia and I were born, she strapped truth
00:06bands on us.
00:08Green light meant truth, red light meant a lie, but Mia's band, always green, even when she lied.
00:18Mia! What are you doing?
00:21Mom!
00:25What?
00:27Lily!
00:28Was it you?
00:28I saw her, Mom. It's Lily.
00:31No! Not me! Look! It was Mika!
00:37Mom, please! It wasn't me, I swear!
00:40Mom, Lily's lying. Look, my band green. I'm telling the truth.
00:44I know, sweetie. Tech doesn't lie. You're an honest girl, and she's full of it.
00:50You broke it and tried to pin it on Mia. Bad behavior has a price, Lily.
00:54No, Mom. I'm sorry. Please don't...
00:58Bad behavior has a price, Lily.
01:01No, Mom. I'm sorry. Please don't...
01:07Mom, I swear...
01:10It wasn't me.
01:12Clean it up. Every single piece.
01:15Or you don't eat today.
01:17I'm Mommy's favorite daughter.
01:27Mom, I wasn't lying. Why don't you believe me?
01:33I think it's really good.
01:35It is.
01:41No treats for liars. You get the greens. Here you go, sweetie. Your favorite.
01:48Thank you, Mom. I love you.
01:51But, Mom, these make my stomach hurt like it's burning. Do I have to, please?
01:57So, you mean you're allergic to broccoli now?
02:03Show me your band.
02:05Show me!
02:09It's red! Lily's lying again!
02:11I knew it, Lily. Why can't you just be honest like Mia?
02:14No, Mom. I'm not lying. I promise it's true.
02:19I'm not...
02:20Enough! Eat it! Every single bite. I am so sick of your lies.
02:25She doesn't want to eat. Just leave it.
02:27Are you serious, Eric? The band is red.
02:29She's lying to us.
02:30No wonder Lily's turned out so bad.
02:32This is all your fault.
02:34Evelyn, are you serious?
02:36You're always too indulgent with her. No wonder she's so disobedient.
02:39Indulgent? I'm just trying to give her a...
02:41Lily, this is all your fault. You made them fight.
02:44Mom, Dad, stop. I'm sorry.
02:47I'll eat it. I'll be good.
02:52I told you she was faking. She's completely fine.
02:56I can't say anything else. If I do, they'll just start fighting again.
03:04Mom, hurry! I don't want to miss the fireworks!
03:06Lily, what are you doing? Hurry up!
03:09Mom, I think I'm going to puke. My stomach is killing me.
03:13Mom, I think I'm allergic.
03:16Give it a rest, Lily.
03:18Please. Mom, I need a doctor.
03:22You mean it?
03:23Lily! Where's your truth band?
03:27Wait, you took it off? Are you trying to cover it up?
03:29No. I was just washing my hands.
03:40Okay.
03:42The stomach ache.
03:43Truth or lie?
03:46It's true.
03:49Unbelievable!
03:50You're faking being sick just for attention?
03:54Mom, I'm telling the truth!
04:01It hurts! Mom! Mom! Please stop!
04:04Payne is a good teacher. You're grounded.
04:07Stay in your room until that band turns green.
04:13Mom.
04:15Help.
04:20Mommy, did you come to save me?
04:27I almost forgot Mia's gloves.
04:30You done yet?
04:32You really have to ruin tonight?
04:34I'm not lying, Mom.
04:36She's pale.
04:37Maybe we should take her to the-
04:38Impressive, isn't it?
04:39Give her an Oscar already.
04:40Too bad the data says she's full of it.
04:43Fine.
04:44Let's just go.
04:45Mom, don't go!
04:47Mom, don't go!
04:48Mom!
04:49Mom!
04:50Mom!
04:50Mom!
04:56You stay put.
04:58Don't you dare come out until that light changes.
05:01Mommy, please.
05:03I'm really hurting.
05:05It feels like I'm dying.
05:07Okay.
05:08Then go ahead.
05:12You're such a disappointment, Lily.
05:20All right, everyone.
05:22Let's go.
05:23We are not letting her ruin New Year's Eve.
05:26Finally!
05:27Fireworks!
05:31Mom!
05:32Help!
05:34Mom is right.
05:35I must be lying.
05:37I'm not really in pain.
05:38I'm fine.
05:39It doesn't hurt.
05:40I need to write my apology, or Mommy will be angrier.
05:45I'm sorry.
05:46I'm a liar.
05:47I messed up.
05:49But it hurts so bad.
05:51I wasn't lying, really.
05:54Mom, why don't you believe me?
05:58Are you sure Lily's okay?
06:00It's an act, Eric.
06:02Seriously, who's allergic to broccoli?
06:03Ten seconds!
06:06Five!
06:08Four!
06:09Three!
06:10Two!
06:10One!
06:11Yeah!
06:14It doesn't hurt anymore.
06:16I'm cured.
06:19I'm dead?
06:21Mom, I'm really dead now.
06:23I wasn't lying.
06:25Can you forgive me now?
06:27Those fireworks were gorgeous.
06:30Especially the smiley faces.
06:31Just like my little Mia.
06:33Mom, I'll be a good girl.
06:35I promise.
06:36Just don't be mad at me, okay?
06:39Jesus!
06:40Did we leave a window open?
06:42Freezing in here.
06:43I'm sorry, Mommy.
06:44I forgot.
06:45I'm already dead.
06:48I'm sure Lily's learned her lesson by now.
06:51Just let her out.
06:52She better.
06:53If Mom finds out I'm dead,
06:55will she be sad?
06:56Will she regret it?
07:02Oh, wow.
07:03Nice try.
07:04What, you think playing dead's gonna get you a free ride to bed?
07:07Lily, you are ten.
07:09Not five.
07:10Act like it.
07:12Mom, I'm dead.
07:14Look at me.
07:15Touch me.
07:15I'm not breathing.
07:18Ugh, a professional sleeper.
07:21Still lying.
07:22I swear.
07:23She even lies in her sleep.
07:25See?
07:25Mine is green.
07:27Hers is still red.
07:28Typical.
07:29That's my good girl.
07:30Let her stay like that.
07:31Fine by me.
07:34Let's just put her in bed, Evelyn.
07:35It's way too cold to leave her at the desk.
07:37Why?
07:38So she can think she won this little standoff?
07:40Look at that light.
07:41She's still throwing a mental tantrum-um.
07:44I'm done.
07:44It's bedtime.
07:46We're visiting Grandma tomorrow.
07:50Mom, if you'd just come a little closer,
07:53if you'd just reached for my hand,
07:55you'd have felt it.
07:57I was already cold.
07:58If you never loved me,
08:00why have me at all?
08:06That's my favorite.
08:07Mom, is that for me?
08:13Mia, you're bacon and eggs.
08:16Liars don't deserve a nice breakfast.
08:19Mom, I'm dead.
08:20I don't need food anymore.
08:22Lily's still in there?
08:23She's got to be starving.
08:24She's spoiled.
08:25Let her.
08:26She needs to learn that her tricks don't work on me.
08:28Mom, Lily's room smells gross.
08:31Did she poop in there or something?
08:33What?
08:34Now Mom's going to hate me even more.
08:37Look at her!
08:38She actually sat in her own mess!
08:40Unbelievable!
08:41What a filthy girl!
08:48Lily!
08:49The bathroom is right down the hall!
08:52What is wrong with you?
08:53Evelyn, maybe we should just check.
08:56Not going to happen.
08:57Let her sit in that stink.
08:58It's the only way she'll learn.
09:02We should really check.
09:03What if there's a dead rat in the vents?
09:05Open it, Dad!
09:06Dad, please!
09:08I didn't soil myself.
09:10I'm dead.
09:11Don't make Mom hate me even more.
09:17What?
09:18Servers are down?
09:19Yeah, yeah.
09:20I'm on my way.
09:22Evie, massive emergency at work.
09:24Gotta go.
09:25Might be stuck there a few days.
09:26I'll call you when I can.
09:27Wait, but what about Lily?
09:28So close.
09:30They were so close to finding my body.
09:33Mommy, Lily stinks!
09:35She's gross!
09:36I swear to God, she won't win this.
09:38You like the smell?
09:39Keep it to yourself!
09:40You're not stinking up my house!
09:42Mom, no!
09:43At least look at me!
09:45Do you actually hate me?
09:48Come on, sweetie.
09:49Let's go to Grandma's.
09:51Oh, look at you.
09:55Mom is smiling.
09:57She never smiles like that when I'm around.
09:59Maybe it's better this way.
10:01I won't ever bother you again, Mom.
10:06So many new clothes.
10:08I only ever get Mia's hand-me-downs.
10:11All packed, Mia?
10:12Yep.
10:13Three days' worth.
10:14All folded.
10:15You're going on a trip.
10:17Yes!
10:18They're leaving!
10:19They have to check on me now.
10:21They'll find me!
10:26Mom!
10:27You forgot me!
10:28I'm still in there!
10:29Hey!
10:30Look at me!
10:31Mom, Lily's still stinking up her room.
10:34Should we let her out to shower?
10:35Not my problem.
10:37Your dad can let her out when he gets home tonight.
10:39Come on, let's go.
10:41Mom, wait!
10:42Dad said he's gone for days!
10:48Mom!
10:52Why?
10:53Why can't I leave?
10:55Mom!
10:56Don't leave me here!
10:58Mom!
10:59Mom!
11:02Someone please find me!
11:08Snowball?
11:10Is that you?
11:11It is you!
11:13Wait, you can see me?
11:18No way!
11:19You can feel me too?
11:21That's amazing!
11:25I thought Mom sent you to the shelter.
11:29Give me the dog!
11:31Mommy!
11:32Snowball really didn't bite anyone!
11:35Mia is lying!
11:38Give me the dog!
11:48Mom!
11:50Mom!
11:51Mom, please!
11:52Don't send him away!
11:54Mom!
11:56Mom!
12:01Snowball, can you go get help?
12:03I'm trapped in there.
12:04And if no one finds me soon, I'm toast!
12:08Go!
12:09Get help!
12:10Mom!
12:11Mom!
12:13Mom!
12:15Mom!
12:16Mom!
12:18Mom!
12:19Mom!
12:20Mom!
12:21Mom!
12:23Mom!
12:26Mom!
12:27At least we have each other.
12:37Snowball!
12:38No!
12:41You're going to eat my body!
12:44What do I do?
12:50Evelyn?
12:52You home?
12:53That smell, is that me?
12:59Susan?
13:03Susan, what are you...
13:05Jesus Christ, the smell!
13:08What died in here?
13:10It seemed to be coming from your porch.
13:14What?
13:15It's definitely Lily.
13:17She must have made another mess.
13:19She's... what?
13:21Susan, sorry. Seriously, just got back.
13:24I'll deal with it, okay?
13:26Alright. Let me know if you need anything.
13:29That girl has gone way too far this time.
13:34Evelyn?
13:38What's that fung?
13:40Eric, are you really okay with this?
13:42Letting her turn our home into a lambsville?
13:45What are you talking about? I haven't been home in three days.
13:47What?
13:50About time.
13:54What?
13:54What is this?
13:56You locked her in for three days?
13:58No food?
13:59No water?
14:00Relax!
14:01She's completely fine.
14:02She stole my money, remember?
14:03Probably has a mountain of snacks in there.
14:05I didn't do it!
14:12Lily?
14:17Gross!
14:19Lily, what did you do?
14:21Lily?
14:22Hey!
14:22I'm talking to you!
14:24You hear me?
14:24What, we're playing dead now?
14:26Seriously?
14:27Get the hell up!
14:33Lily!
14:34Lily!
14:37Lily!
14:38Lily!
14:40Lily!
14:41Mommy, I told you.
14:43I wasn't lying.
14:45I proved it.
14:47Will you apologize to me now?
14:51Lily!
14:53No!
14:53No, this isn't real!
14:55What did you just say?
14:59She's faking!
15:00She has to be!
15:04Her truth band is red!
15:06You're crazy!
15:08You're fucking crazy!
15:10Mommy, even now that I'm dead,
15:13you still won't say sorry?
15:16Drop the axe, Lily!
15:18Get up!
15:18Get up!
15:19Get away from her!
15:20Get away from her!
15:24Is everything okay?
15:25I heard...
15:36Officer, officer!
15:38Ma'am!
15:38She lies!
15:40She lies about everything!
15:42Just check the truth band!
15:44Truth band?
15:44You mean this?
15:45Right!
15:46Give it to me!
15:48It's gonna turn green!
15:50Just watch!
15:51Any second now!
15:52My name is Evelyn!
15:54I'm Lily's mother!
15:59Hell no!
16:01That's impossible!
16:03Now you know how it feels, Mom?
16:08Lily?
16:09Mom, you can see me?
16:13See?
16:14She's alive!
16:15I told you she was lying!
