About this episode

Compare things, talk about the past & comparative and superlative.

Paul sets up the date with Laura. Grandpa is still going on about former times. He starts talking about books that were banned in the GDR, former East Germany. That's when he remembers THE book. Paul lies again: he says the book is at home. He had lied to his mother about his job choice before, and now he feels that he got caught up in a web of lies with no way out. Will he find a way out of his web of lies, or end up offending mom and grandpa?
