Failure to make a concerted effort to keep me alive

You are REALLY struggling with that one, huh?
Hym "Failure to make a concerted effort to keep me alive. Me dying isn't going to save your. You haven't made a concerted effort to keep me alive and the bodily harm clause allows for ACCIDENTAL death (upto and including getting hit by a drunk driver). Now, it doesn't say anything about ME keep MYSELF alive. It says YOU have to make a concerted effort to keep ME alive. You motherfuckers really struggle with the YOU vs ME distinction don't you? So, killing me, letting me die, denying me care. None of that is going to stop anything. OK? You get it. MY thing IS going to work. YOUR thing is not. You don't do what I do. Me. You. Get it? OK."

A catalytic converter that was once functioning properly until Roger got his hands on the car. Now, thanks to his go-to diagnostic method of either hollowing it out with a screwdriver or flooding it with a garden hose.
“My check engine light came on, so I took my car to Roger. Now my exhaust rattles when I press the gas, I’m pretty sure I now have a rat-alytic converter.”
