Their expressions ran the gamut from sheepishness to blank haughtiness. MacDonald bug-eyed. "Dean ... Rosetti ... the Temple priests burned you at the stake!" They grinned at him, shamefaced. "Guess not," Dean said. "We were kidnaped. We've been teaching basic science, in some phony monastery." Watson's face was white. "Joe," he said. "Yeah," Joe Chessman growled. "You sold me out.
It's a complete phony, but it's not something done on the spur of the moment just for our benefit. It's too good for that." "Maybe they've had it for a long time just in case somebody like us should come along." "It's possible, but I don't think that's right either," said Cameron. "I can't give you any reason for thinking so except the phoniness goes deeper than merely deceiving an investigator.
"And that phony wire you sent me yesterday almost gave me a plexus," I said bitterly. "Why did you frame up one of those when-we-were-twenty-one dispatches from the front? It sounded like a love song from Willie Hayface of Cohoes, after his first day on Broadway. Didn't you know that my wife was liable to open that queer fellow and put me on the toasting fork?"
She fell for the name all right, but there must have been something phony about the clothes.

"Are you beginning to doubt, Doctor?"
"The post you'll get will pay you very well indeed. As against the certain failure of your planned coup, the choice should be simple." Zorn eyed Magnan. "Offering me a job it sounds phony as hell. I thought you birds were goody-goody diplomats." "It's time you knew," Retief said. "There's no phonier business in the Galaxy than diplomacy." "You'd better take it, Mr. Zorn," Magnan said.

Didn't it ever occur to you that a battery which would do all that a battery which would hold a hundred kilowatt-hours of energy in a suitcase would be worth the million he was asking for it?" Colonel Dower looked startled. "Why ... why, no. The man was obviously a phony.
