Had to have something in here.

What's the matter with real palms and ferns?
gpt
What would they cost, I should like to know? And how would I keep 'em looking decent? Look at them bay trees out there.
human
Those bay trees do look a little dejected, Everett agreed, smiling.

human
I don't s'pose your gardener'd do it for me now, would he?
gpt
Hardly. But he's not the only one in town. It might cost more, Tom, but it would pay, believe me. Your bar, now, is the real thing and in good taste. You ought to have things in keeping.

human
Hell!
