Pete and Simon in “Who Nose”

Pete

[in the hospital] Just go away.

Simon

I can't.

Pete

Why?

Simon

Because your mom thinks I did this to you.

Pete

Yeah. I let her think that.

Simon

I know. And it's okay. You must have been scared, and you had to tell your mom something. When you're feeling better, you can tell her the truth.

Pete

If I do, I'll get all my friends in trouble.

Simon

And that's better than getting one innocent guy in trouble. Look, under normal circumstances, I wouldn't mind taking the rap for a friend, but you and your buddies have to stop huffing, or eventually, they're gonna end up just like you, or maybe even worse.
