How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?

What is even happening?

That would do it. Also, you could say, "If I were to ask you which door leads to freedom, what would you say?"
The trick is that you have to get meta.

How does this solve it? You can only ask one question. I feel like I'm missing something. I'd still ask him to open the door.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Those are nice shoes. Where did you get those shoes?

"If I were to ask you which door leads to freedom, what would you say?"

I don't get why the meta aspect of this would yield up a result you could trust.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

moving down the street sounds like a bite in the ass. Moving at all sounds like a bite in the ass.

And, still, arguing with my slumlords -- also ass bitey. I suspect toothmarks are my future.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I had a cat. She died. I had another cat. He died. No more cats for me. They die.

Get a parrot.

They pine.

They pine.

They'll be pining for Cindy when her grandkids inherit them. The things live as long as people in captivity.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

How does this solve it? You can only ask one question. I feel like I'm missing something. I'd still ask him to open the door.

Well, if you asked the liar, he'd tell you the wrong door. But if you asked him the hypothetical question of what would he say if you asked him, he'd lie about the lie he'd tell if you asked him directly.

But how do you know if you're asking the liar or the truth teller?
