How are you?
gpt
How's yourself?
human
I see you've got a skiff tied alongside,
gpt
Remarkable fine eyesight!
human
I'll give you a dollar if you'll put me aboard that steamboat yonder.
gpt
Why the Hell don't you walk aboard by the gangway?
human
Well, you see it's a kind of joke I want to put up on them. I want them to think they've gone off and left me, and then I'll show myself, see?
gpt
I never see nothing as don't concern me.
human
I'll make it two dollars.
gpt
I ain't running my head into no noose.
human
Oh, I assure you it isn't a hanging matter.
gpt
Nothin' doin', fella.
human
Well, look here; you be looking the other way, and I'll take the skiff, see? Then you won't know anything about it. You can recover it with one of the other skiffs in the slip here.
gpt
How do I know you won't make off down the river in my skiff?
human
All you've got to do is start your engine.
gpt
Nothin' doin'!
human
You get the two dollars first of course.
gpt
Hey, Jake! he cried to one on the pier.
human
Wait a minute! I got somepin' t' say to yeh.
