Mi pensas, ke li volis diri "Vi ne povas elteni/elporti/toleri la veron!" ("I want the truth!" - "You can't handle the truth!") sed malbone tradukis "handle".

I read instead of veron- viron.

[NicolasGat19]

The mini lesson states: "Note: In English, sometimes part of a sentence is expressed in the present tense, even though the event actually takes place in the future. In Esperanto, both parts of the sentence are in the future tense, since they happen then. For example:
Kion vi faros, kiam vi estos gepatroj?
What will you do when you are parents?"

My question is: is it the same for the past tense? Should we have not "Mi diris, ke mi volis la veron!"? I wanted the truth in that point in time, which was in the past. In my opinion, the present tense would work if we had quote. For example:

Mi diris: "Mi volas la veron!"

In that case, the quote is stated as said in the past.

Any thought about this?

I want the truth, this is not a past action, but a current desir, an always valid demand.
If you say "mi volis la veron", then I understand that you no more want the truth NOW.
