    You mean like if I was talking about ,Forzare and put a comma there?

    I am confused.

    Like saying "Hey Bob" instead of "Hey, Bob."

    ...Unless I have somehow managed to get the grammar completely wrong...

    I think your grammar may be a bit off

    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.
    Yeah, you don't need to put a comma here.

    A comma goes where there is two syntactic units that share the same syntactic function- in this case, this would be the Subject.

    For example-

    "Hi Bob!" is correct.

    "Hi, Bob!" is not correct.

    "My partner Alice" would be incorrect.

    "My partner, Alice" would be correct.

    Oh. Well, I guess my internal grammar-o-meter is faulty. >_<

    Move along, move along, nothing to see here...

    That said, if you do put a comma in front of there, it doesn't exactly sound wrong, so while technically it's incorrect, everyone will understand your meaning anyway.

    Dialogue's nice and flexible like that (assuming we're discussing greetings, of course). It ultimately doesn't make a huge difference in that circumstance.

    Related: When transcribing song lyrics, I tend to put commas according to the music's rhythm rather than grammatical sense.

    For example:

    If you're lost, you can look, and you will, find, me...
    ...time af-ter time.
