power move: breaking the fourth wall in real life
want to get out of a conversation? this isn’t plot-relevant, I’m out
trying to encourage someone? you’ve got to push the narrative arc, my dude.
someone questioning your divine presence? plot hole, probably.
I always thought “you’ll have to speak with my legal counsel” was good for dodging mundane but awkward questions (why were you late?) but this is clearly superior.
ooh, in that vein, I’m fond of ‘that’s classified.’
I love telling people “Your security clearance isn’t high enough” too!
