Truthiness

you know, boss, I love living in the city. don't you?
I do, paulie. always a lot going on.
it's much better than the suburbs, isn't it?
yes, except. . .
except what?
well, I occasionally miss my shopping malls.
boss, how can you say that? they're so sterile!
well, truth is, sterile can be a plus sometimes, paulie.
wait a minute. are you saying I'm not clean?
oh, I would never say that. not to your face anyway.
no? good.
but truth is, maybe you could consider it.
what?
you know, now and then.
oh.
