When he's in trouble, he never thinks, oh, Oscar would know what to do about this. When he has a role to fill and an obligation that needs exstellar serving, he never thinks, oh, Oscar's the man for the job - yes, indeedy, he's the man, he's our man, and if he can't do it, no one can.

Felix does not depend on Oscar's advice, on his strong opinion, on his stronger capability and his strongest unwilling impreside.

Felix does, however, in every chest-thrumming way, depend on Oscar, to be his load-bearing mass, to be the dear insulation within his scaffold.
