I was looking for you, boss. It's my time off, but I thought there'd be somepin doing to-night, so I just stuck around.
gpt
Good man!
human
On the level, was it you here this afternoon, made up like a bum taxi-driver and all?
gpt
That was me,
human
Gee! you're some sport, fellow. You deserve to get her! That was some chase you give them. We watched it from the door as far as we could see down the Drive. But the old man got her back off you. Tough luck!
gpt
Well, I'll have another try to-night,
human
Say, count me in on it, begged Frank.
gpt
I don't care if I do lose me job!
human
Much obliged, he said.
gpt
I shan't forget it. But I've already got my gang outside.
human
Gee! cried Frank.
gpt
Somepin doin' all right! I'm glad I didn't go home!
human
Is the family all up-stairs?
gpt
Find out who he's been telephoning to, will you? I suppose the operator's been listening in.
human
You bet we ain't losing nothing from that apartment now. I can tell you without asking him. The Spanish bloke's been telephoning to a doctor guy that runs a sanitarium-like on Eighty-third Street; I took down the address for you; it's Doctor Tasker, 411 West Eighty-third. Seems her old man's going to take her there to-night. He's trying to make out she's looney.
gpt
I know, Greg said.
human
Can I get up-stairs by the service elevator, and have a word with the maid?
gpt
She's fired,
human
The deuce you say!
gpt
Señor Soak-oater turned her out soon as he come home. She's down in the basement now, crying to the engineer's wife, 'cause she ain't got no place to go.
human
I'll fix that, said Greg.
gpt
Show me the way.
