Hi wrp396:

The character Golly (or Ole Golly), Harriet's nanny (played in the
movie by Rosie O'Donnell, advises Harriet that sometime people have to
lie.

Quote: "You may want to be especially aware of a pivotal scene when
Golly returns to help Harriet confront her problem. 'You have to
apologize and then you have to lie,' Golly says, advising Harriet
that, 'Sometimes a little lie that makes someone feel better isn't
really wrong.'"

quote: "Golly tells Harriet that she'll have to apologize and lie to
the other kids to get them to like her again. She says sometimes a
little lie makes people feel better."

Quote: "Most importantly, the sage Ole Golly resolves matters with a
piece of advice that takes on special meaning for queer kids:
Sometimes you have to lie. But to yourself you must always tell the truth."

Search Strategy (on Google):

I hope that helps!
