Transcript:

She isn’t stupid. You are, Rat. You said that if she couldn’t find it, you didn’t have it. Then, you called her stupid. If her being unable to find it means you don’t have it, she must be smart enough to find any book in that bookstore, meaning she isn’t stupid. If she isn’t smart enough to find any book in the bookstore, she was intelligent enough to realize she couldn’t find it and ask for help. You’re stupid, not her.
