You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

“Not dead yet!”

Patronized is close to what I'm looking for. Man, I hate, hate, HATE this feeling. Words are usually at my disposal, but every now and again, I need one and it just utterly escapes me.

There's a word for that feeling but I can't remember what it is.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

They probably have a word for it in German.

I bet the Germans have a word for this belief.

I think that maybe affronted might work. It always has the whiff of "sensitivity" to it.

“Not dead yet!”

Yeah, I thought of affronted, too, but it didn't seem to be quite right. It's affronted with the slight whiff of paranoia that comes with patronized. The "You say you're working on my behalf, but I see no evidence of it," feeling.
