That's over,
gpt
It was rather like any business deal, wasn't it? I opened a bank account once. It was rather like that, even more impressive,
human
That is about what we have done, isn't it? Opened a sort of mutual bank account?
gpt
That's what we think we've done,
human
Have we had any lunch?
gpt
I'm famished, and you must be, too. Let's go to the Brevoort and have a wedding breakfast, isn't that what they call it?
human
I don't know any of the things you like to eat, Jane. Do you want to order for yourself?
gpt
I would like roast chicken, a salad, and something sweet.
human
Coffee?
gpt
Yes, thank you.
human
To our experiment, Jane Paxton!
gpt
Do you feel married to me, Jane?
human
No,
gpt
How shall we announce it to the studio crowd? Shall we have them all in to-night, and get it over?
human
No. I'd rather meet them one at a time, if you don't mind. It will get about soon enough, and I don't want any fuss.
gpt
All right. Suit yourself.
human
I wish you would tell Miss Roberts first, Mr. Paxton.
gpt
Call me Jerry. Why should I tell Bobs first?
human
She is such a good friend; she would want to hear it from you.
gpt
I'm not so sure about that. We'll see. Are there some best friends you have to tell?
human
Only one--Martin Christiansen.
gpt
Christiansen--the critic fellow?
human
He is my only friend.
gpt
You've got good taste in your friends, Jane. He is one of the most sought-after men in this town. I suppose you know his story?
human
No; I am not in his confidence.
gpt
Hasn't he told you about his wife?
human
No. I did not know he had one.
gpt
That's rather queer, isn't it, if he's such a good friend?
human
I think not. Our relation is intellectual, not personal.
gpt
Jane, you don't believe in platonic friendship, do you?
human
Certainly, between some types of men and women.
gpt
The story is that his wife is a nervous wreck, who lives in hospitals. They say that he was deeply in love with her, that he has always been true to her.
human
Yes, he would be that.
gpt
Great chap. I'm afraid of him, myself. He doesn't think much of me, I imagine.
human
We have not spoken of you,
