Can I help you, please?
gpt
I'm from the starship _Valhalla_, Alan said.
human
I'm returning to the ship. Would you take me to the ship, please?
gpt
Of course.
human
I guess this is the end of the line, Max. You'd better not go out on the spacefield with us. I--I sort of want to thank you for all the help you've given me. I never would have found Steve without you. And about the bet we made--well, it looks like I'm going back on my ship after all, so I've won a thousand credits from you. But I can't ask for it, of course. Not after what you did for Steve.
gpt
If I owed you the money, I'd pay it to you, the gambler said.
human
That's the way I work. The seven thousand I paid for Steve is extra and above everything else. But you haven't won that bet yet. You haven't won it until the _Valhalla's_ in space with you aboard it.
gpt
You'd better convoy your brother across the field and dump him on his ship. Save the goodbyes for later. I'll wait right here for you. Right here.
human
Sorry, Max, but you're wasting your time by waiting. The _Valhalla_ has to be readied for blastoff, and once I check in aboard ship I can't come back to visit. So this is goodbye, right here.
gpt
We'll see about that, Hawkes said.
human
Ten to one odds.
gpt
Ten to one, Alan said.
human
And you've lost your bet.
