There is a difference between "doe toch niet" ("oh well, don't bother, who cares), and "doe tóch niet" (actually, never mind). In the latter case, "toch" has a well-defined meaning: "alsnog" ("still"). This is also the case of the sentence in the text.
Line 17: ** ''Wil je '''soms''' wat drinken?'' ("Do you occasionally want a drink?")<br>''Soms'' here conveys a sincere interest in the answer to a question: "I'm curious if you would like to drink something?" * Frustration ''Doe het toch '''~~toch~~ maar'''.'' ("Do it nevertheless, however.")<br>''Toch'' here indicates anger and ''maar'' lack of consideration: "I don't really care what you think, just do it!" ''Ben je '''nou''' nog niet klaar?'' ("Are you still not ready yet?")<br>''Nou'' here denotes loss of patience: "Don't tell me you still haven't finished!"
