Chapter 6 - The Professionals (seriously)

“Coach Z, get the phone.”
“Why do I have to get the phone?”
“Because I told you to.”
“That’s stupid. I shouldn’t have to take orders for you.”
“We should argue about the batteries again.”
“Why?”
“One word - continuity.”
“This story has no continuity. The description says we’re all humans, and yet the narrator still calls Homestar a no-armed whitey.”
“We have a narrator?”
“Apparently.”
“Right.”
“And I’ve been totally out of character this whole time. What’s up with that?”
“Quit talking about the story.”
“Why not? This is, like, fourth wall breakage at its finest.”
“Is it possible to break the fourth wall in a story?”
“Apparently.”
“Have you noticed that the writer keeps repeating certain short quotes?”
“That’s a bit hypocritical.”
“What?”
“You told me to stop talking about the story, but you’re doing it yourself.”
“So?”
“That’s being a hypocrite.”
“I don’t like you right now.”
“Why?”
“Because you keep proving me wrong.”
“But I haven’t proven you wrong.”
“See? You just did it again.”
“That doesn’t make sense.”
“Why does the writer keep writing chapters with only dialogue?”
“This is the first chapter with only dialogue.”
“Well, the previous chapter had mostly dialogue.”
“That’s different, though. It still had a scene setup.”
“This chapter had a scene setup. Just in dialogue.”
“What setup? You telling me to get the phone?”
“Do the readers even remember who’s talking anymore?”
“Well, they will now.”
“Why?”
“Because I told them that you told me to get the phone.”
“So?”
“Stop using one-word lines of dialogue.”
 “I’m allowed. I’m the writer.”

“So why did you call yourself ‘the writer’ earlier? You don’t usually speak like that.”
“Shut up, Coach.”
“No.”

“Coach Z, get the phone.”
