As If He Were Awaiting My Next Order

Lots of imperfect subjunctive in the first issue of La Masa:

"Get back!  Please...Stop!  Eh?  He...He's stopped!"
"He's stopped still...silent!  I told him to stop and he stopped!"
"There he is, as if he were a robot! As if he were awaiting my next order!  I have to test it!"

Notes:
quedarse plantado is to stand still (as if one were planted), but dejar plantado is to stand someone up
