* '''Played For Laughs''': Alice and rest of her squad arrive to the bunker where [[BadassInDistress Bob was captured by enemy forces]]. When they arrive, Bob is making a cup of coffee. He turns, and asks "What took you all so long? These idiots don't even have acceptable coffee, let alone good" in a rather cranky tone of voice. The soldiers who captured him are unconscious and strewn about the room. Bob then complains about wanting to get back to his easy-chair, and walks past his allies who quickly follow him in bewilderment.
