Faking the Dead/Quotes

Agatha: It's a perfect plan! They do think I'm dead!

—Girl Genius

Yuusuke (mourning): I'm sorry, Kuwabara... it's all my fault...
Kuwabara: Okay! I think you've done enough groveling for one day! Though, it is pretty entertaining. Reporting for duty: Captain Faker! That's me!
Yuusuke: ..Wah.. why's that dead guy walkin' around!?
Kurama: Yes, well... I tried to inform you, but you were too engrossed in your speech.
Yuusuke: But... the heart! And the finger-poking!

Kurama: You're a moving public speaker, by the way.

—Yu Yu Hakusho (English version)

"Everyone thinks you're dead. Isn't that great?"

—Sokka, Avatar: The Last Airbender

"By the time your adversary races towards your 'body' to frisk you for cash and pull gold fillings out of your mouth, you'll already be behind him, poised for the killing blow."

—Dead Ringer advertisment, Team Fortress 2

Putzho: You faked your own death? And it worked?
Ulaque: It's easy, if you stay hidden long enough. The trick is to be dead for longer than your enemies are alive.
