How goes it?

Heavens to Betsy, Isobel Cunningham said with a grin,
human
Ice?
gpt
Brother, you said it, she told him.
human
Where can I change out of these rags?
gpt
On you they look good,
human
That's enough out of you, wise guy, Isobel told him.
gpt
Why doesn't somebody dream up a role for me where I can be a rich paramount chief's favorite wife, or something? Be loaded down with gold and jewelry, that sort of thing.
human
Your clothes are in there, he told her, motioning with his head to an inner room.
gpt
It wouldn't do the job, he added.
human
What we're giving them is the old Cinderella story. He looked at his watch.
gpt
If we get under way, we can take the jet to Kabara and go into your act there. It's been nearly six months since Kabara and they'll be all set for the second act.
human
Be with you in a minute.
gpt
Not that much of a hurry, Cliff called.
human
Take your time, gal, there's a bath in there. You'll probably want one after a week of living the way you've been.
gpt
Brother!
human
That's a fine girl. I'd hate her job. We get the easy deal on this assignment.
gpt
You said it, Nigger. How about mixing me a drink, too?
human
Nigger! Jake said in mock indignation.
gpt
Look who's talking. His voice took on a burlesque of a Southern drawl.
human
Man when the Good Lawd was handin' out _cullahs_, you musta thought he said _umbrellahs_, and said give me a nice black one.
gpt
Where do we plant poor Isobel next?
human
I don't know. The kid's been putting in a lot of time. I think after about a week in Kabara we ought to go on down to Dakar and suggest she be given another assignment for a while. Some of the girls, working out of our AFAA office don't do anything except drive around in recent model cars, showing off the advantages of emancipation, tossing money around like tourists, and living it up in general.
