1. If we're talking about the specific Bob example, then Alice is Bob's Protectorate.
We can never truly eradicate the coronavirus, but we can suppress its threat like influenza
You're Nothing Without Me: A stock phrase where a character claim that without them the other person would be worthless.
I Didn't Mean it: When a character delivered a "The Reason You Suck" Speech and immediately regret it.
Example: Bob: "You always scold me for being apathetic and heartless, for never being there when you need me, but the truth is I am constantly saving you, and you would've been dead ten times over if it weren't for me. From the hand of the bandits, from jaw of the orge, from the edge of the cliff; From your own foolishness, from the danger you get into for your 'heroic action' and your 'just cause'. You constantly berate me for being useless, but the truth is: You're nothing without me, you're just a worthless hero wannabe." and Bob sees Alice is on the verge of crying and he goes: "I... I was... I didn't mean to..."
But alas, Alice run away crying before he gets to finish.
