 Dishonesty is sometimes the best policy.

Do you think I'm beautiful?

[lngwer.livejournal.com]

Absolutely lovely. You'd look wonderful in a skirt.

You'll have to separate me from my pants, first.

If you ask nicely, I could not only help with that, but get you a blouse to match.

Oh good. I'm often dishonest, haaaaa!

[lngwer.livejournal.com]

It all depends on the situation, but I think dishonesty is easier and far better.

[He's squinting at you.] ...Victoria?

[She raises a brow at him, amazed at that difference in name from her own. Of course, she's just as amazed at his unchanged face over the years.]

Try again, little boy.

There's nothing wrong with the occasional lie. Honesty is only good policy when all policy has failed.

But then the best policy is "sometimes lie, sometimes tell the truth". That's hardly catchy at all.

[Because that's what matters the most, right? Rhyming is more important than anything else.]

[You're speaking to the guy who named his fail-safe de-vamping device the 'de-vamper'. Does he look like the type who'd dwell on something like this, Ellie?]

"Lie whenever necessary, speak your mind and be brutally honest at all times when it's not."

[Considering this is Ellie, she'd just say yes for the sake of argument. She does think that "de-vamper" could have a better name. Possibly something rhyming.]

That's not catchy. I don't like it. Try again. "Catchy policy, take three".

Maybe sometimes. But generally I think honesty is just kinda... less exhausting than lying.

You'd be surprised. If you're used to being dishonest, it's easier to continue to lie. That's why it's so easy to be honest if you're used to it over the years. Sometimes it's... just better.
