I don't see any "please" in the original text.

Hej, var snäll och kom och hjälp mig! Man glömmer "please" vilket blir "var snäll"

Xini, Maggis message is very true. In Swedish we extremely seldom use the word "please". If you should talk real "Swenglish" then avoid all "Please".

"Give me a beer."
"Help me with this."
"Could you give me a hand."

Swedes are therefore considered rude by many English speaking persons. So I'll fight for the "please" in my translation. It is one of the rudimentary signs of the difference between a good and a bad translation to/from Swedish, I think.
