I'm not sure about the punctuation at the end of the sentence. Should it be a question mark?

So far as I can see, it's a possible rendition.
http://idioms.thefreedictionary...ve+me+a+break!
Give me/us a break! (American & Australian informal)
something that you say when you do not believe what someone has just said 'You're going to run a marathon? Give me a break!'

Thanks, I changed it from
"Give me a break, will you?
To:
"Give me a break!"

As "Give me a break, will you?" already exists.
