I haven't got any change tonight; and anyhow, I'd like you to eat a whole lot. I'm on a diet, and I want to see everybody else eat.

I don't like to be paid for taking letters to your friends, Mr. Wanning, she said impulsively.
human
I can run personal letters off between times. It ain't as if I needed the money,
gpt
Get along with you! Anybody who is eighteen years old and has a sweet tooth needs money, all they can get.
human
Let me have that letter before lunch tomorrow, please, and be sure that nobody sees it. He stopped and frowned.
gpt
I don't look very sick, do I?
human
I should say you don't! Annie got her coat on after considerable tugging.

Why don't you call in a specialist? My mother called a specialist for my father before he died.
human
Oh, is your father dead?
gpt
I should say he is! He was a painter by trade, and he fell off a seventy-foot stack into the East River. Mother couldn't get anything out of the company, because he wasn't buckled. He lingered for four months, so I know all about taking care of sick people. I was attending business college then, and sick as he was, he used to give me dictation for practise. He made us all go into professions; the girls, too. He didn't like us to just run.
