No, I-I know, that... wasn't great. I shouldn't have said that, I'm sorry. Really sorry.
[The apology, at least, sounds sincere enough, and he makes sure he sounds calmer when he continues.]
Of course I do, and... I know you want to help, and that's not a bad thing. I just - it's not that I don't think you can handle it, but there are a lot of people who aren't already hurt and probably wouldn't mind helping, either. You know? I mean, i-if it was anyone other than yourself, you wouldn't want an already injured person to get hurt even worse, right?
