Quote #1
Fractured images, memories, fear, pain, all came crashing together inside my brain. You think being a regular teenager with growing pains is hard? Try doing it with DNA that's not your own, not even from a mammal.
"I don't remember," I told her. It was a lie. (40.25-26)
Max doesn't want to lie to Ella and Dr. Martinez, but she can't help it—she can't very well tell them that she was created in a lab by evil scientists who combined human DNA with bird DNA… Right?
Quote #2
"To tell you the truth, I usually don't look at my patients' owners much. And I haven't seen any strangers around. As for unusual animals, last week I treated a cow that had a bicornuate uterus. She had a healthy calf in each side. Does that help?" (42.24)
Dr. Martinez may be a moral person, but she's not above lying when it comes to protecting Max from the suspicious characters that show up at the vet's office. She even tells them a weird and gross medical story to throw them off the scent.
Quote #3
"Your hideout in the mountain is nothing but ashes. Your pals keep having unfortunate accidents. You two are the last ones alive—and now we've got you." (44.6)
You simply cannot believe those Erasers. They'll lie to the flock members about everything—including the fact that all of their friends have died gruesome deaths. Ugh.
