Someone (usually, but not always, a woman) needs something from someone else (usually, but not always, a man). So Alice lays on the liplock, and when Bob recovers from post-kiss bliss, he finds out that his wallet, or key, or secret plans, or map, or weapon, has been stolen. Or his enemies have all escaped, or sneaked into the castle, or he's been chained to his chair. Of course in all this kissing, the kisser may get more than they were bargaining for and might get a little too into the kiss themself. Can be used to ignite or ramp up UST between two characters, or to indulge in some Dating Catwoman. Differs from the Fake-Out Make-Out because in that case both people are faking the kissing in order to cover up that they're united in trying to do something nefarious. Distinct from Distracted by the Sexy because in this case the sexy is not just wandering by but (quite literally) in your face. A favorite tactic of the Lovable Rogue, Classy Cat-Burglar, Gentleman Thief, Femme Fatale and particularly Affectionate Pickpocket. The target might have known something was amiss if he'd remembered The Schlub Pub Seduction Deduction. The Batman exception: This ploy is not likely to work on a kissee who is Crazy-Prepared or even just Properly Paranoid. In especially unfortunate cases may also be a Kiss of Death. Compare "Shut Up" Kiss and "Take That!" Kiss. Contrast Fake-Out Make-Out, which is intended to distract and/or hide one's face from other people. Also contrast Platonic Kissing, where neither party is romantically interested. |

Subverted at the end of the episode when he gives her a goodbye kiss and she quips: "Is your translator broken again?" | |

The Many Dates of Danny Fenton (Danny Phantom Western Animation, TV Series, and Comic Books.): Felicia kisses Danny twice as a distraction. Once to put a tracker on him, the other to remove it. To keep Katie from losing her temper, Danny reluctantly kisses her...which ends up working a little TOO well. |

Girl Genius displays an interesting version, as Martellus is kissing the body of Agatha while Lucrezia is controlling it. While he finds Agatha attractive, he is genuinely repulsed by Lucrezia, and it shows as he wipes his mouth shortly thereafter. A smoke knight is sent to distract another smoke knight who is trailing Agatha. How does she do that? By making out with him. |

Marian in BBC's Robin Hood uses this technique all the time on Guy of Gisborne. Whenever he's about to catch Robin or his gang breaking a law, outwitting the Sheriff, or sneaking into the castle, she would kiss Guy, or promise to marry him, or otherwise take advantage of his obsession with her. | |

In Orphan Black, Sarah uses this to distract Paul from the differences between her and her clone Beth while she impersonates the now-dead cop in the first episode. Notably, it doesn't end with just a kiss; because Paul and Beth were intimate, Sarah has no choice but to carry the charade all the way through. | |

Red 2. The protagonists are infiltrating the Kremlin, and Sara is left to stand guard disguised as a Russian female soldier. A nice-looking male soldier stops to flirt with her, but she can't speak Russian and can't bring herself to shoot him, so she snogs him instead. Frank is not happy when he returns in time to see this. | |

Pirates of the Caribbean: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest: Elizabeth kisses Jack in order to distract him while she shackles him to the deck of the Pearl when the Kraken is coming, essentially sending him to his death. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides: Captain Jack lands inside an aristocrat's (played by Dame Judi Dench!) carriage. To the lady's delight, Jack smooches her ear, then scarpers. Judi giggles like a teenager, then realises that her ostentatious jewelled earring is missing, whereupon we cut to Jack with her earring hanging from his mouth. Om nom nom. |

Doctor Who: In the episode "The Doctor's Daughter", while imprisoned, Jenny seduces a guard and grabs his gun during the kiss. In "Closing Time", the Doctor attempts this on Craig, to prevent him from noticing a Cyberman coming up menacingly behind, and momentarily succeeds in distracting him only by dint of his unusual behaviour. A book could be written about River Song's use of this technique, often accompanied by drugged lipstick for extra effect. If she kisses you, count your belongings. In her very first adult appearance (chronologically, anyway) in "Let's Kill Hitler", she plays an inversion of the game, distracting the Doctor with a variety of guns to keep him from realizing that her kiss is intended to be the fatal blow. |
