Sample text:

"Harlan? Store's closed, bruh. Come back tomorrow," he said, already closing the door.

"Dave, wait, just listen for a minute."

"Okay, what? I just smoked a bowl, I'm trying to chill…"

"Do you know Funelli? Nicolo Funelli?"

"Funelli?" the store owner blinked sleep from his eyes. "Sure, sure, of course, he put the 'fun' in B-horror. That's a terrible tagline, by the way. Doesn't even sound the same. It's Foonelli not Funelli, and two, Funelli's more like D-horror. Or F. Funelli puts the F in fail." He grinned proudly at the joke, scratching his sparse black goatee. "Did you wake me up just to ask me about Funelli?"

"No, Dave, I just really, really need your help. This is gonna sound crazy, but Funelli's trapped Vicky, my girlfriend. He's trapped her inside the TV or, or something… and I just need your help to get her out. Please. I'm desperate, man!"

Dave narrowed his eyes. "Are you doing a Vine?"

"This isn't a Vine, Dave," Harlan snapped. "This is real life."

"Dead directors don't drag girlfriends into the Phantom Zone, Harlan, not in IRL. You've been watching too much Funelli, and I am way too baked to talk movies with you right now, okay?"
