Ford was obviously distressed. Part of wondering why Ford was asking for a Dodonus-related favor was wondering who, exactly, Dodonus was to Ford — and the further they got into this conversation, the more Cash was starting to think that he had a good idea of that.

"I can try," Cash said. He added, with a shrug, "I mean, we'll see if he tells me." Cash didn't know Dodonus well, and therefor it may be difficult for him to tell if the man was actually fine — but at the very least, he could get some form of proof of life for Ford.
