I'm sorry to interrupt,
gpt
Not at all, Malone said.
human
It's a pleasure to have you. Come again soon.
gpt
Doctor, she said,
human
New?
gpt
The poor dear thinks she's going to get out of the hospital now, Miss Wilson said.
human
For some reason, she's convinced that the FBI is going to get her released, and--
gpt
What's wrong?
human
Miss Wilson, Malone said,
gpt
Of course, Mr. Malone,
human
Miss Wilson, Malone said,
gpt
Barbara,
human
Lovely, he said.
gpt
Well, Barbara ... and please call me Ken. It's short for Kenneth.
human
I thought it might be,
gpt
Well, Malone said softly,
human
Ah, Malone said.
gpt
Yes. Of course. Well, Barbara ... well, that's just what we intend to do. Take Miss Thompson away. We need her--badly.
human
She couldn't possibly have heard us, he muttered.
gpt
That's a soundproof door. She couldn't have heard us.
human
But you can't take Miss Thompson away,
gpt
We have to, Barbara, Malone said gently.
human
Try to understand. It's for the national security.
gpt
She heard us thinking, Dr. Harman muttered.
human
That's what; she heard us thinking. Behind a soundproof door. She can see inside their minds. She can even see inside _my_ mind.
gpt
She's a sick woman,
human
But you have to understand--
gpt
Vital necessity, Boyd put in.
human
Absolutely vital.
gpt
Nevertheless--
human
She can read minds, Dr. Harman whispered in an awed tone.
gpt
She knows. Everything. She _knows_.
human
It's out of the question, Barbara said.
gpt
Whether you like it or not. Miss Thompson is not going to leave this hospital. Why, what could she do outside these walls? She hasn't left in over forty years! And furthermore, Mr. Malone--
human
Kenneth, Malone put in, as the door opened again.
gpt
I mean Ken.
human
Now, now, Barbara, she said.
gpt
Don't you go spoiling things. Just let these nice men take me away and everything will be fine, believe me. Besides, I've been outside more often than you imagine.
human
Outside?
gpt
Of course, the little old lady said.
human
In other people's minds. Even yours. I remember that nice young man ... what was his name?
gpt
Never mind his name,
