• “It’s alright… I’ve got you.”
• “You are important to me.”
• “They won’t find you here.”
• “You’ve been crying… why?”
• “It’s alright to cry, you know.”
• “What would help right now?”
• “Shh, it’s okay. I’m right here.”
• “Please, tell me what’s wrong.”
• “We’ll face this together, alright?”
• “You’ve been strong for too long.”
• “You’re going to be fine, I promise.”
• “I wish I could take away your pain.“
• “I’m sorry that you’re in so much pain.“
• “We can stay here until you feel better.”
• “I brought you a hot drink and a movie.”
• “If you ever need a friend, I’m right here.”
• “You’ll kick this thing’s ass. You’re tough.”
• “Do you want some tea? Would that help?”
• “Tell me something: Why were you crying?”
• “I’m right here. And I’m not going anywhere.”
• “There’s no shame in crying when you need to.”
• “You are stronger than this. You’ll make it through.”
• “If you feel like talking, please don’t hesitate to call me.“
• “Here, you can snuggle under my blanket. I’ll protect you.”
• “You’re so much stronger than you give yourself credit for.”
• “Hey, hey, look at me, okay? Just breathe. You’re safe, now.”
• “I can’t imagine what it’s like for you. I just can’t imagine how hard it must be.”
• “I might not be able to understand what you’re going through, but I understand you need someone here for you.”

• “As much as I hate your guts, we’ll die here if we don’t work together.”
• “Let’s put our differences aside for now. There are bigger issues at hand.”
• “Why must I stoop so low as to cooperate with the likes of you?”
• “Looks like there’s someone else I hate more than you. Go figure.”
• “Alright… I’ll help you, just this once.”
• “Let’s get one thing straight here: I don’t like you.”
• “This is a one time deal only.”
• “Don’t get used to this. It won’t be happening again.”
• “I’ll kill you later, when our lives aren’t in danger.”
• “Look, we both want the same thing here.“
• “Hey, I’m on your side this time!”
• “It’s just a matter of overlooking our differences.”
• “What do you say?… Truce?”
• “Give it a break for once, this is more important!”
• “I’ll take the left, you take the right– No arguing.”
• “Stop yelling at me! I’m only trying to help!”
• “Ugh! I hate having to work with you!”
• “I’ll be glad to be rid of you once this is all over.”
• “’Hate’ is a strong word… let’s settle for a ‘great disliking of’.”
• “I don’t want to do this as much as you do… but we have to.”
• “If you want to make it through this, you’re gonna have to trust me!”
• “How can I trust you when not only five minutes ago you were trying to kill me?!”
• “I can’t take your sass. I’m calling this alliance off prematurely.”
• “Please, for once in your life, just listen to me! We’re all in danger!”
• “I don’t like you, but this is for the greater good.”
• “It’s either us or them, and quite frankly, I could kick your ass any day of the week.”
• “As much as I’d hate to admit it, we’d be powerless on our own against them.”
• “Just because I’m helping you doesn’t mean we’re friends.”
• “Don’t even think about calling me your friend. We’re not. End of story.”
• “Just this once, I’ll help… For a price.”
• “If I’m going to team up with you, I want something worth while out of it.”
• “I can’t wait til this is over… Then we can go back to killing/hating each other.”
• “If we’re gonna do this, we’re gonna do this right, and I won’t let your petty grudge against me ruin it!”
