A Case of Please

Hello. Is it fine to put commas around the word "please" here?"

"Can you, please, just be quiet?"

Or is it only correct without the commas there?

Thanks.

Hi, They are not wrong. But do you feel you would naturally want to pause there if speaking? Most people wouldn't, in most contexts.

I think comma is used when you use PLEASE at the end of a sentence and even using of PLEASE in the middle does not sound good or natural.So better to use PLEASE either at the begining or at the end.
