Origami!
I apologise for the shortness:

The rest of what Kryten said was lost on Cat. He was styling his hair, running his hands through the gorgeously sleek locks with pure contentment.
"Bud, I feel so alive!"
"That's great sir, could you possibly help now?"
"Do you even have to ask?"
"Thank you sir!"
A few moments later:
"Sir - if I may ask you - why aren't you pulling?"
"I told you before – I'm not doing any manual labour, I'm a cat! It'll ruin my suit!"
…….
Lister had his eyes closed, and was leaning heavily on what was left of the wall.
"We're never gonna get out…" He whispered, almost to himself, "We're trapped in here."
Rimmer walked over to him, eyes shining with a worry he was not sure how to feel, "Lister, don't worry… we'll get out I promise."
Lister didn't even have the strength to look at him, he barely opened his eyes. The deep brown orbs dull. "I believe you."
…….
"Look bud, I am not pulling that door!"
…….
"Cat!" Rimmer shouted through the door, "if you don't help right now, I'll do something very bad!"
Cat ignored him, "I'm hungry! I haven't eaten for ages, where's the monkey?"
"I'll do something bad to your suits!"
"Oh yeah, how would you do that? You're locked in there bud."
"I have my ways!"
"Whatever, where's the monkey?"
"They'll be no monkey if you don't pull this damn door!"
Cat thought about this, "No monkey?"
"Just pull you stupid moggy!"
Rimmer didn't need to look at Lister to tell he wasn't going to last long. He was coughing. The dust was too thick; it was caking the air, choking his lungs.
"PULL!" Rimmer shouted
"I am pulling!" said Cat, he had given up on not pulling; meanness didn't suit the particular shade of green he was wearing. He smiled and as an afterthought added, "And I look nice doing it too! My suit's nice- my hair's nice!"
Rimmer cut out Cat's self-loving. There was only one thing he could do. They'd never get through in time otherwise. Lister needed help. The dust was just worsening his breathing. And his breathing was already bad. His ribs were broken.
Rimmer sighed; this was not going to end well. But Lister had done the same for him. He was only repaying the favour. Repaying the favour.
Ah smeg.
He smashed his light bee full force at the debris.
Dust flew out into the corridor, spattering Kryten and Cat.
Cat dusted his jacket, "Green and grey! Green and grey? Hey, I think I can pull this off!"
Rimmer's light bee was cracking. He could feel it
The last thing he saw was the rubble tumbling out of the way, and a bloody Lister collapsing by Kryten.
The last thing he thought was: 'well isn't this just tickety boo'.
