My mother said... you should always thank people who help you... and always apologize for inconvenience...

[As she talks it trails off into a pale attempt at a cough, but she's too weak physically to really gather the strength for a full force cough... for better or for worse. Carefully, trying... she tries to stay up just a bit longer, trying to disengage from A2 and grope around clumsily for... Pod's "hand".]

Can you... help me with my skirt...

[A2 was a girl, too, so she's not embarrassed beyond needing help for such a simple thing. She's not so sure about Pod, though.]
