Sierra: Wow, Grandpa, you're pretty lucky.
Sarmoti: It ain't luck. I figured out their tells.
Sierra: Their what?
Sarmoti: Their tells. It's how they give away their hand. When Bernie's bluffing, he twirls a whisker. With Chaz, his tongue peaks out of his mouth. And if Duke has a good hand, he gets so excited, his mane shoots straight up like the Bride of Frankenstein.
Sierra: So, basically, you're cheating.
—Father of the Pride, "One Man's Meat is Another Man's Girlfriend"
Stop lying to me! You always do that fake giggle when you lie.
—Lloyd Irving, addressing Colette Brunel, Tales of Symphonia
Jean-Luc Picard: You have a tell.
Data: That is impossible, sir.
Picard: Every so often, you dilate your left pupil — ostentatiously, I might add — in an effort to cheat me into thinking you have a tell, but your true tell is: you don't have one. When your eyes are neutral, that's when I know you're bluffing.
Data: Hmm. Now that you have told me that, Captain, I am confused about which deception to employ.
