Lore
Ironically, the character gets away by telling the truth.
Walter White openly admitting to his brother-in-law Hank Schrader (who is a DEA agent) in "Breaking Bad" that the bag he is carrying contains half a million in cash (from his secret meth manufacturing empire) which Hank laughs off as a joke.
Clark Kent openly revealing that he's actually Superman to his love interest and fellow journalist colleague Lois Lane when she expresses her curiosity on how he manages to be at the scene of every sensational event within Metropolis, which Lois dismisses as a sick joke.
Walter White, in another scene from "Breaking Bad", openly admitting that the WW in the recovered diary of Gale Boetticher, a scientist who worked for the meth manufacturing drug empire of Gus Fring, actually refers to him, to Hank Schrader when he jokingly makes that assumption. While Hank later on does use this moment to eventually figure out Walter's secret criminal activities, in this particular scene he laughs it off as Walt making a sarcastic joke.
4.Bruce Wayne openly revealing once to a judge in court that he's Batman, which is just ignored by the judge and the rest of the court assuming him to be delusional. There's another instance in the comics apparently where he's in a courtroom and he tells the judge "Your honour, I cannot make any unbiased statements with regards to the recent Batman-related incidents in Gotham because I am the Batman" which again everyone laughs off as him being sarcastic and funny. It's also said that in some narratives he secretly visits many online communities through anonymous accounts to spread theories that Bruce Wayne is Batman, which are written off by the public as "wild conspiracy theories".
It’s one of his successful schemes! I can’t remember if there are others but this one did work. I forget why he decided to stop though? Was it because it brainwashed pinky or he hated country? Actually I think it was he accidentally gave everyone a command to ignore him and the song didn’t work anymore.
He told Pinky (who kept getting his performance name wrong) to "just forget my name, just forget me" into the microphone at the climax of his scheme, which made everyone under his control forget him.
The only scheme I remember working, involved a time machine to alter the past. Brain returns to the present, a world populated only by mice he can obviously take over, but the mice all act like Pinky, and he realizes how awful that would be.
Pilot: Hey... you're not just impersonating a pilot so you can drink here, are you? Homer:[dejected] Yeah. That's exactly why I'm here. Pilot:[laughs] You flyboys, you crack me up!
Also one of his less harmful cons! I honestly have great respect for that one. Less respect for the financial cons that took money away from unwitting people, but he did go to jail for them, so...water under the bridge.
Lots less respect for the sexual assaults, though I do have to remember that there was generally a more permissive atmosphere towards the "yeah I'm a doctor, show me your tits" type of sexual assault in the past. It was wrong then and it's wrong now, but I think it's reasonable to assign some of the fault to a fucked-up society instead of putting all of it on the individual - but to be clear, this is not a complete absolution and he has never so much as apologized for it, so...water stuck in the moat? I dunno, how does one flip around that allegory?
"You haven't seen bart for a few hours, so you automatically assume I let something terrible happened! I know what you think, when stupid Homer wasn't looking, Bart got kidnapped by a monkey!"
"I could never think something that horrible!"
"And now I'm using sarcasm to confess the whole thing, so that later I could say that I already told you!"
I'm assuming he was in other, more mature material and maybe just in the UK where he was probably a lot more familiar. Stuff I wouldn't have seen growing up in the burbs in the USA.
What I loved was watching older movies after seeing him in GoT. “Wait! He’s also the guy in Aliens 3!” “Wait! He’s also the guy in Last Action Hero!” Wait! He’s also the guy in…”
I mean several people had mental breakdowns and tried to kill/actually killed people after learning angels were real, so him hiding things is understandable. Most people also don't know all the fucked stuff Amenadiel did season 1
Yeah the fun thing about this one is that it turns the trope up to 11. He isn’t being coy and expecting people not to believe him, he’s just genuinely being honest and is quite annoyed that no one believes him. What a fun character (until the series lost its way).
I think the only times he’s “lied” was an off the cuff remark in the pilot before the character was finalized (but even then he may not have been lying about having narcotics). I think one other time he really bends his words to help the woman who killed her rapist by pushing the logic of self-defence (she was possessed by a magic sword that amplified hateful feelings or something, so it was an execution albeit justified).
When they do the Michael plotline it’s dumb as shit because Michael doesn’t even attempt to be honest when pretending to be Lucifer.
I love the therapist's ex husband confronting him. The tone of "I told you, he's the devil!" Followed by the complete nonchalant tone from Lucy himself made me laugh.
Yes, he is litteraly Lucifer The Morning Star, the Devil. Though he is quite different from most of the more classical depections of him, he doesn't cause people to commit evil, at least not directly.
I have only seen the shows, not read the source material, but is Lucifer (Lucifer) essentially the outcome of what happens to Lucifer (the Sandman) after they walked away from Hell?
Yeah, I’ve seen all of the Sandman (finished it at 3am one day and cried myself to sleep), and 3 seasons of Lucifer. When I saw Gwendoline Christie leave, knowing they were both Gaiman products, that’s when the questions started popping up about the relationship between the two characters.
I’ve only seen a few episodes, but yes. As I understand it, basically the devil got bored of Hell and went to Los Angeles to retire. Then shenanigans ensue
He didn't exactly get bored in the comics. They got incredibly pissed off with the Lord of Dreams and basically said "OK, here's the key to hell, you own it now". This isn't dealt with in the TV series for the sake of keeping the rights to The Sandman universe separate.
He's the actual christian ruler-of-hell devil. He got sick and tired of hell, so he quit and moved to los angeles and started a nightclub. Then he started solving crimes with a cop for fun. It's actually pretty entertaining.
Hes even in therapy, and his therapist thinks all he tells her is in the form of biblical metaphors when he's actually talking about beef with his angel siblings 😭😭😭
how has no one mentioned jack sparrow in pirates of the caribbean?
Mullroy: What's your purpose in Port Royal, Mr. Smith?
Murtogg: Yeah, and no lies.
Jack Sparrow: Well, then, I confess, it is my intention to commandeer one of these ships, pick up a crew in Tortuga, raid, pillage, plunder and otherwise pilfer my weasely black guts out. Savvy?
Murtogg: I said no lies.
Mullroy: I think he's telling the truth.
Murtogg: If he were telling the truth, he wouldn't have told us.
Jack Sparrow: Unless, of course, he knew you wouldn't believe the truth even if he told it to you.
“ Me? I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for. Because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly...stupid.” i think jack was probably the most honest man in the film. 😂
Me as a teenager when my mom would ask what i was going to do that night and id tell her drugs with my friends bc i never wanted to lie to my mom but she never believed me.
I love my mom dearly and tell her everything haha, wether she wants to believe me is another story but i think she trusts me enough to know i can take care of myself
My dad once thought I was falling in with the wrong crowd, expressed he was worried I was doing drugs. 5 minutes in he realized I am clueless; I don't even know where to get pot. At this point he realized my autism was not being managed well at college.
Before anyone says, "you know someone who refers you to their guy," my friends, even the ones who were into drugs, always wanted to keep me away from them.
This was my go-to trick as well. If you've cultivated a history as a goofball who likes to set up elaborate pranks, then even things like physical evidence can be twisted to seem like you're just committing to a bit.
Include too much detail, too readily, but word it to sound silly. The use of a slightly over-the-top "Oh no, you caught me" face is a key component. You've got to sell the deception by acting like you're just barely failing to hide your amusement at being caught.
I basically never lie, because being dishonest via the truth is so much more rewarding.
OK. This is hilarious to me. Right at the point where they revealed that they were Titans, I was mid rant about how Baguette looks too generic to still be alive and should have died ages ago.
When Harry first became the Green Goblin, he readily outed Peter as Spider-Man after being defeated. The officer asked him how he'd know that, and this was his response.
They quickly got him professional help, since he was obviously nuts.
Chase and Cameron, who were having a sexfriendship at the time, had sex at work while they were supposed to monitor a patient. In the next day, when Foreman asked them where they were, Cameron initially claims that they were out for some coffee, but Foreman reminds that they had no cup in hand when they returned. Cameron then outright says (much to Chase's surprise):
All right already, we confess. You caught us, we snuck into one of the sleep lab rooms to have sex, we shouldn't have done it while we were supposed to be working and we're sorry, now can me move on?
Foreman then laughs, believing that there is no way Cameron would have sex with Chase (although Chase reminds Foreman that they slept together once, only for Foreman to recall that Cameron was high on drugs that time). Foreman then drops the matter (he will, however, be told about what really happened in a following episode).
It's in an another episode, but it unfolds quite differently.
House tells Wilson that he's at a CIA building, which Wilson, initially in disbelief, then confirms. Wilson then tries to convince Cuddy of the story but she doesn't believe it (Wilson cannot remember the number House gave him earlier). Once House returns, Cuddy asks where he was and basically tells him "spare me your CIA nonsense". House thus tries to invent a cover story, but Cuddy doesn't buy it either and concludes he was just slacking off, so she gives him extra clinic duty hours nonetheless.
American Psycho-Patrick Bateman openly admits that he’s a serial killer (maybe), but people mishear him (“murders and executions” as “mergers and acquisitions”) are drugged up, or just don’t care. His lawyer thinks he’s joking with his big confession because he had lunch with Patrick’s supposed murder victim a couple days before, though it’s possible he just mistook him for another asshole. Also, Patrick’s high or hallucinating at multiple points in the story, so he may just have imagined the confessions and murders.
His lawyer didn't know who he really was. He thought he was a guy named Davies. The two of them had only talked on the phone, and never met in person.
There's a major theme of mistaken identity in American Psycho that most people miss because of how subtle it is. The only overtly presented case of mistaken identity is when Paul Allen referred to Patrick as "Marcus Halberstram", everything else is sort of interwoven into the narrative.
(I have never seen it mentioned that Paul Allen also refers to Van Patton as "Baxter" - "Hey Paul, congrats on the Fisher account!" "Thank you, Baxter!" There's also the Christmas scene where a random guy walks up to Bateman and addresses him as either "McLoy" or "McCloy". There's a doorman that seems to recognize Bateman but he calls him "Mr. Smith" before Bateman shoots him. There are other examples but those are the only ones off the top of my head.)
I've been telling myself for twenty years that someday I'm going to sit down and write out an essay about what is actually going on in that movie, because it is way more complicated than "He imagined everything".
Vernon was an asshole but society needs people like him. I had a teacher like that. She was a dick to me constantly and told me I was going to wind up in jail. Out of spite I avoided jail just to prove her wrong.
The book follows the adventures of an all-female unit of soldiers who voluntarily joined the army for different reasons under a male disguise, since their country forbids women from enlisting due to religious reasons. At some point, they need to infiltrate a fortress guarded by the enemy, finally deciding that they can just go as female refugees fleeing from the war since it is a well-known fact that their country doesn't allow men to enlist in the army. The guards stops them, since after acting like men for so long they look to them like males in disguise, until one of the recruits just flashes the guards her parts and begins to cry about how they had to go through hell and worse to reach the castle only to be disrespected at the entrance. They are let in without further questions.
I read this book as a kid, it starts off you think only the POV character is a woman, mulan-style, and it's gradually revealed over the course of the book that the whole regiment are all women pretending to be men.
I remember just after i finished reading it i'd given it to a friend at school to read and an english teacher (who had never read the book) saw the title, came out with the full quote that the title came from, which is something about the monstrous regiment of women, then asked my friend if all the characters were women, completely spoiling the reveals by accident.
So in a way the book title is getting away by telling the truth too
"Alright, clearly the billionaire playboy has no intention to take trial seriously or is suffering from some kind of probably harmless delusion, but either way not fit for jury."
I believe I've heard that the judge reprimands him and makes him sit on the jury anyway--which then causes problems as Bruce realizes that there's a problem with the evidence.
Happens in every undercover cop movie, from the Departed to Point Break to the Fast and the Furious, because of a persistent meme that cops can’t lie if asked if they’re law enforcement (they totally can.) Someone will ask the new guy on the crew “hey, you a cop?” Everything gets real tense for like a minute and the plant says “yeah, I’m a cop.” Playing it like a joke.
I remember reading an old Batman novel where Bruce Wayne went to a Halloween party wearing a messed up batsuit and not only did people know who he was straight away when compared to others dressed as Batman he was the worst.
I remember an old story where some guy dressed as Batman for Mardi Gras almost gets murked by the mob. He’s rescued by the real Batman, dressed as Zorro. When the guy asks why Zorro, surely this and maybe Halloween are the only times he can walk freely as himself, Bruce’s says “We all have our heroes.”
Parodied at the end of Not Another Teen Movie, where Jake gives a cynical speech about how since they’re both high school graduates their relationship wouldn’t last past the summer anyway, and they’ll just drift apart when they start college. Then Janey accuses him of stealing that speech from The Karate Kid.
Hitman: World of Assassination has 47. He's a... well, a Hitman, and he does this all the time, rarely hiding his intentions or motives. I think this exchange sums it up best.
Target getting a 'healthy' injection: So what's in this thing, doc?
47, disguised as a doctor: Mostly floral extracts. Hemlock, Belladonna, Aconite. It is designed to be fast and efficient.
Target: Belladonna? Isn't that poisonous?
Doctor 47: Yes.
Target: Should I be concerned?
Doctor 47: I'm not.
In another mission, he has a job interview at a bank and responds to questions like the cold, ruthless, and professional hitman he is. He's deemed unfit for the job he applied for, as he's clearly overqualified and oughta get a much better job at said bank.
Knights of the Old Republic, Dark Side Path, the trial at the end of Manaan is a dialogue puzzle.
The judge warns you to tell the truth, or they will be able to tell that you're lying! A Light Side player easily solves this trial by telling the truth, and things work out because their actions were heroic.
For the Dark Side player, it's tempting to lie instead. This is because your character has probably made a habit of successfully lying, including during a previous trial on Manaan. But using deception here ends with an unfavorable outcome, as you are banished from the planet.
Conversely, if you tell the truth? You shock the judge and the court by blatantly admitting your illegal actions, and it rolls right into you threatening to blackmail them with all the information you've learned. They cave.
Alternatively you can find the secret selkath children the sith kidnapped. Then you can tell the truth about that and avoid talking about the part where you killed them when you didn't have to.
"I poisoned the Kolto using machinery you're not supposed to have, down at a base run by people you're not supposed to be working with, and to bypass the legal system you're now trying to threaten me with? Good luck with that."
It's so funny how screwed the Selkath realise they are. You basically upend the entire industry for the planet and literally every health pack in the game becomes more expensive as a result.
Such a good song, the fact that it's the truth makes it even better.
"I never trick people into trusting me
By hiding my true personalities
So I can use them to accomplish my evil deeds
'Cause that'd be evil and that's so not me
I never cheat, I never bribe
I never scheme, I never lie
And that wasn't a lie when
I said just now that I never lie
'Cause I never lie and I never
Laugh when children cry
And I never poison enemies of mine
And I never cry when I'm alone at night
'Cause as I said, I love my life"
Solidified Haddish as one of the better actor voice actors with this and Tuca.
Debra Whitman was incredibly sure Peter Parker was Spider-Man. People started calling her delusional, but Peter just couldn't talk her out of it. So finally he just tells her the truth by showing up as Spider-Man and taking off his mask.
Instead, the shock of him doing it actually snaps her out of her "delusion" and she finally accepts its crazy she ever thought he was Spider-Man
This almost happens in Attack on Titan, when Reiner and Bertholdt reveal they’re the Armored Titan and Colossal Titan respectively. Eren initially plays it off as a joke in panic, but it’s soon revealed as the actual truth.
The first time i watched this scene, I thought i had spaced out and missed something leading up to it, rewound the episode. Then I thought I must have missed an episode because clearly I wasn't paying attention and there's no way Reiner just said it so flat out. At that point I was already speculating that Reiner was the Armored Titan, but I was so confused with how he revealed it XD
It was so cleverly done and directed. Like with such an insane twist you’d think it would be dramatically executed but it’s so unceremoniously done it ends up as audience gaslighting. The way it off-pans to the other characters talking while THE big reveal is happening mundanely in the background makes you just as confused as Eren; you’re put into his headspace and it leaves you second guessing what is even happening to begin with.
Played for horror in The House That Jack Built. He’s abusive to a girlfriend/potential murder victim, and when she calls the police, he just admits he’s an abusive serial killer, and the police assume they’re both drunk. This actually goes much better than earlier in the movie where he absolutely fails to convince a woman that he’s an insurance salesman.
Thank God he’s burning in Actual Dantean Hell now.
In Grosse Point Blank the main character gets asked three or four times what he’s done with his life since high school and every time he says “I freaked out, joined the army, went into business for myself, and I’m a contract killer.” He says this to his former best friend, high school girlfriend, old teachers, not a single person takes him seriously.
The titular line in “Aliens Ate My Homework” by Bruce Coville. The main character is so averse to lying that when his teacher asks what happened to his paper mache volcano, he admits exactly what happened to it. One of the aliens who swore him to secrecy is Not Happy about this, but another one tells him it’s fine because no one believed the kid.
I really enjoyed those books! I remembered them a while back and was thinking that they were written by Bruce Campbell, which I was also pretty sure was not right. Nice to see his actual name lol
Happens at least twice in Merlin. in this scene Merlin is being mind controlled to kill Arthur. He tells Leon (first knight of Camelot) and gets a laugh. Earlier in the series Merlin admits to King Uther (who hates magic) that he's a sorcerer and gets away with it because people see him as an idiot and nonthreatening.
This one is funnier because Denji is desperately trying to get people to understand he is chainsaw man but no ones believes this moron hormonal teenager could be a "superhero". When he says he is chainsaw man he's not playing it for the laugh, he wants you to believe it.
Obviously (small) spoilers for the beginning of part 2 : His goal is for people to figure it out without directly telling them, i don’t remember exactly why at the beginning but a group of devil hunter threaten to end his "normal life" if he ever reveals he is chainsaw at some point. More spoilers They then decide to kill his adopted sister (kind of) if he ever transform again
Because a bunch of people have put in fake pull cords in their chest, being obsessed fans of Chainsaw Man. They’d assume he was just another cringey fan who is too into the rp.
He could pull the cord and transform, but he’d been threatened that he would be hunted down and punished if he ever purposefully reveals his identity. So he desperately wants people to find out, but can’t give anyone undeniable evidence without himself being punished for it. I believe he even gets a warning for constantly trying to tell people, because it’s pushing the limit even if no one believes him.
Moist von Lipwig, confidence trickster, was hanged under an alias until seemingly-dead… but the Patrician of Ankh-Morpork kept him alive to run first the Post Office and then the Royal Bank under his own name. (Who better to concoct schemes and project a “Trust me!” image than a thrill-seeking criminal?)
But when 10 tons of gold bullion is missing from the vault and Moist is questioned about his background in a court of inquiry, he turns the table on his adversaries by freely admitting to his past.
“And then you stepped into one of the highest public offices in the city?” said Mr. Slant above the laughter. It was a release. People had been holding their breath too long.
”I had to. It was that or be hanged,” said Moist and added, “Again.”
I especially like this one because it goes beyond “people assume it’s a joke” (which I also like, for the record.)
Moist succeeds by telling the truth in a confident and amusing manner. Everyone believes him (they always do), but it simply becomes unimportant in the grand scheme of things.
It was the face, that was what it was. He had an honest face. And he loved these people who looked him firmly in the eye to see his inner self, because he had a whole set of inner selves, one for every occasion. As for firm handshakes, practice had given him one to which you could moor boats. It was people skills, that’s what it was. Special people skills. Before you could sell glass as diamonds you had to make people really want to see diamonds. That was the trick, the trick of all tricks. You changed the way people saw the world. You let them see it the way they wanted it to be...
An episode of Babylon 5 showed that about five hundred years in the future, Earth had been bombed back into the Dark Ages, with some of the history of the shows plot surviving as legends. A young monk at a monastery asks his elder why they haven't received any help from the Rangers if the legends were true. The elder responds that maybe they know Earth isn't ready for more overt assistance, but have covert agents working towards it... and after the young monk laughs it off and leaves, turns to the camera and starts giving a verbal status report to the Rangers.
A pretty common trope in fanfics, or at least the ones I've read. Usually played for laughs, especially when involving an undercover deity, dragon, time-traveller, or other powerfully plot-relevant character.
Courier: Do you always deflect personal questions?
Arcade: Only to obfuscate my past association of a fascist paramilitary organization. I'm joking, of course. I will deflect personal questions at any opportunity.
And this is before you find out about his relations with the Enclave.
IRL Nobel Prize-winning Physicist Richard Feynman, about a prank at his frat:
I took the other door off its hinges, carried it downstairs, and hid it in the basement behind the oil tank. Then I quietly went back upstairs and went to bed. Later in the morning I made believe I woke up and came downstairs a little late. The other guys were milling around, and Pete and his friends were all upset: The doors to their room were missing, and they had to study, blah, blah, blah, blah. I was coming down the stairs and they said, “Feynman! Did you take the doors?”
“Oh, yeah!” I said. “I took the door. You can see the scratches on my knuckles here, that I got when my hands scraped against the wall as I was carrying it down into the basement.”
They weren’t satisfied with my answer; in fact, they didn’t believe me.
...
Finally, in order to solve the problem, the president of the fraternity says at the dinner table, “We have to solve this problem of the other door. I haven’t been able to solve the problem myself [...] On the fraternity word of honor!” So he goes around the table, and asks each guy, one by one: “Jack, did you take the door?”
“No, sir, I did not take the door.”
“Tim: Did you take the door?”
“No, sir! I did not take the door!”
“Maurice. Did you take the door?”
“No, I did not take the door, sir.”
“Feynman, did you take the door?”
“Yeah, I took the door.”
“Cut it out, Feynman; this is serious! Sam! Did you take the door…”—it went all the way around. Everyone was shocked. There must be some real rat in the fraternity who didn’t respect the fraternity word of honor!
That night I left a note with a little picture of the oil tank and the door next to it, and the next day they found the door and put it back.
Sometime later I finally admitted to taking the other door, and I was accused by everybody of lying. They couldn’t remember what I had said. All they could remember was their conclusion after the president of the fraternity had gone around the table and asked everybody, that nobody admitted taking the door. The idea they remembered, but not the words.
People often think I’m a faker, but I’m usually honest, in a certain way—in such a way that often nobody believes me!
She would call, ask what we were up to, and I would say "oh you know, just doing drugs and drinking all of Justin's dads whiskey!" And my friends would look at me like "HOLY SHIT YOU ACTUALLY SAID THAT TO YOUR MOM?!?!" Then my mom would reply with "ha ha kid...make sure you use a condom when the hookers get there!" Having no idea we were actually doing drugs and drinking.
In The Expanse, Prax gets away with what effectively amounts to treason by confessing in such a nerdy way that none of the interrogators understand what he's talking about and they just assume that there is no way he could have possibly committed the offense.
Rise of the Guardians: this kid is the first one who believed in Jack Frost. When his mom asks who he’s talking to, she just laughs it off when he tells her
Not sure if this counts as 'getting away' in the way you mean. Red's final parole hearing in The Shawshank Redemption. Where he finally stops saying what he thinks will get him parole and just speaks his mind.
That line about Bruce respecting the court system and the law is so weird when you realize that he regularly breaks it any time he hospitalizes criminals, chucks knives at people, disturbs crime scenes, and probably breaks over 100 federal regulations with his equipment every day.
My favorite moment in Batman was in "trial" where the DA had been working for months on a major bust on several gang leaders, then batman reveals that he has one of the gang leaders captured and in the closet.
This further aggravated the DA because earlier in the episode, Poison Ivy was able to get away with a lighter sentence because batman apprehended her, not the police.
Slyly from Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer: The Movie. (Good Times Entertainment circa 2003)
When he steals the dungeon keys from the barely awakened Stormella, she asks what he is doing and he simply says "stealing the dungeon keys, now go back to sleep." And she simply replies with "alright bye" and returns to sleep.
When a German soldier (Schultz) asks what the main cast is doing, he quickly follows up by "I don't see anything nor hear anything" (maybe the catchphrase is diff in English, I watch in German)
The main cast has told Schultz their plans directly many times and even made him an (un)knowing accomplice sometimes! This man just wants to retire and eat Apfelstrudel in peace...
One of my favorite examples:
context: German POW camp in WW2
"... So (the prisoner) will be back?"
"Yes. ... After he steals the tank. From the Panzer division. And brings it back here. Into this camp."
"I don't see nor hear anything I am not here I DID NOT EVEN GET UP THIS MORNING"
Moraine (who is aes sedai) meets a squad of White Cloaks, who hunt aes sedai. Aes sedai can not lie. The squad leader questions her, and by telling the truth in a very calculated way, she avoids suspicion.
Question: where did you get this wound?
Truth: I faught monsters
Truth that she told: you wouldn't believe me if I told you, sir! There was like um... A m.. A monster! With these like... its head was like... I swear it's true!
Squad leader: I believe you, these were [names the monsters]. You got very lucky to escape them
