Although lying is a trait more associated with villains, even heroes can lie.
They only lie for trying to escape from a dangerous situation or for misleading a villain; lying can be just as good as it is bad.
Here's a few things why heroes had to lie:
- About where they are.
- Pretending who they really are.
- Saving themselves.
- That they're working with the villain since the beginning.
- To protect the people they care about.
- What they did wrong.
Here are the examples:
| “ | Swear to me that everything you said about the Fireflies was true | „ |
| ~ Ellie seeing through Joel's lies |
| “ | No book is ever going to make my daughter sad. Time for me to do what I do best: lie to a child. | „ |
| ~ Homer, about Lisa's Angelica Button book. |
| “ | "Rule number one- the Doctor lies." | „ |
| ~ River Song stating that even the Doctor lies sometimes. |
| “ | (Oscar hides behind the dead shark Frankie) (Ernie: Oscar!) (Bernie: Did you kill that shark?) (Oscar looks down at Frankie, then comes up with an idea) Uh...yeah. Exactly how it looks; that's how it is. | „ |
| ~ Oscar lying that he killed a shark, making him become the famous Sharkslayer. |
| “ | Yeah. Two Big Monsters with big green eyes. | „ |
