“May I suggest that we find an alternative and acceptable solution to my phone problem Wall-e? And make me a cup of coffee, will you? A strong espresso.” He was the guest resident after all.
“Your vitals are good this morning, coffee is allowed and will be ready in a minute”, Buddy 111 said, connecting to the kitchen coffee machine via Bluetooth and launching the brew preparation. “My mission is to provide assistance Pasquale. If you would allow me to scan your phone, I would be able to fix it.”
Did he have a lot to hide anyway? This robot probably already knew every single detail about him and he really wanted to speak with his family. Not to mention that he wanted to hear all about this robot protest that was making the headlines on all the websites. On what grounds exactly could the self-proclaimed silver vest robots, named after the famous yellow vest protest that happened in France thirty years earlier, think they could claim a constitutional guarantee of robots rights?
“ Well, if it helps you feel useful, then I allow you to scan my phone, but on the condition that you erase all the information from your data bank after that.“
“You don’t have to mention that: here at Galactica resident home, we value your privacy. But… Wait… Pasquale I can’t log into your device. Why is airplane mode switched on? Did you want to save your battery life, or did you want some quiet time? You have no flight scheduled today.”
That was explaining a couple of things.
“To protect my privacy of course Gerty!” Pasquale got the phone back and switched the plane mode off. So, at the end of the day, that flight mode was not remotely controlling the drone he had received from his son Emmanuel that morning. “What were you saying about my metallic silhouette training KITT? If you would excuse me, I have a few phone calls to make.”

“May I suggest that we find an alternative and acceptable solution to my phone problem, Wall-e? And make me a cup of coffee, will you? A strong espresso.” Pasquale was the guest resident after all. ("guest resident"? - at first reading, I took this to be a continuation of Pasquale's thoughts, this part not spoken - and it didn't quite make sense. So now I take it to mean that Pasquale, as the guest resident, has spoken - and I've switched the pronoun to a name accordingly ... sorry if I misunderstood :( )“Your vitals are good this morning, coffee is allowed and will be ready in a minute”, Buddy 111 said, connecting to the kitchen coffee machine via Bluetooth and launching the brew preparation. “My mission is to provide assistance, Pasquale. If you would allow me to scan your phone, I would be able to fix it.”

That was explaining a couple of things.
“To protect my privacy of course, Gerty!” Pasquale grabbed (or "took", or whatever - as a style norm, many people try to minimise the use of "to get", since it is so handy that otherwise it can take over ...) the phone back and switched the plane mode off. So, at the end of the day, that flight mode was not remotely* controlling the drone he had received from his son Emmanuel that morning. “What were you saying about my metallic silhouette training, KITT? If you would excuse me, I have a few phone calls to make.”
* Your usage here is completely correct. But it might help to be aware that "remotely" is commonly used as an intensifier in modern idiomatic English. "I'm not remotely French", or "are you even remotely aware that this isn't possible?" or even, "do I imagine that Céline would even remotely care about that?"
