When I first read this, I took Cueball's statement to also have a double meaning. "Will you /please/ stop?" As in stop fighting, stop the war, etc. International Space Station (talk) 06:07, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
I read the title text as "my character" being Cueball. PoolloverNathan[talk]U•T•S•c 14:58, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
