human
A report? In the _Sun_?
gpt
Half a column, Mr. James. Would you like me to fetch the paper? I have it in my pantry.
human
I should say so. Trot a quick heat back with it. This wants looking into.
gpt
I overestimated my powers. It can't be done. Have you any important duties at the moment, Bayliss?
human
No, sir.
gpt
Perhaps you wouldn't mind reading me the bright little excerpt, then?
human
Certainly, sir.

human
Lord Percy Whipple, Mr. James.
gpt
Lord who?
human
Lord Percy Whipple.
gpt
Never heard of him. Carry on, Bayliss.
