At Wheatley's encouragement, Chell ignores it, but the Sentry Turret politely says "thanks anyway" with a hint of shattered hopes. In one scene in Portal 2, an Oracle Turret is seen stuck inside the Aperture Science Pipe Network, who attempts to get Chell and Wheatley's attention. They will even forgive Chell for knocking them over. They have a strangely polite demeanor, which is in direct contrast with their deadly behavior.
