It's good, he said, and his voice trembled a little.
gpt
I--suppose your time machine worked?
human
Surprised, are you, Uncle?
gpt
Yes, yes. But I see your situation, Ted. You, of course, can't afford to hold these for thirty years. Now--ah--I can. And I'll be glad to help you out by taking them off your hands. Naturally I have to hold them a long time, so--let's say twenty dollars a thousand?
human
Let's not say that. I took the bill from his hand.
gpt
I figure fifty is a fair price. There'll be lots more, Uncle. And, as you say, I am always broke and cannot afford to put them away for my old age. But running the time machine is expensive and I can't afford to take less than fifty.
human
All right, Ted, I realize there are expenses. Thirty-five.
gpt
But I want a promise, he said emphatically.
human
I'm to be the only one you sell these bills to!
gpt
You reach me, o-uncle. I handed him the bills.
human
You're deep, man. Real deep!
