Tommy, said Nick,
gpt
Go back! Not much!
human
Well, I shan't go any farther until you do!
gpt
Then you'll have to hang on by your eyelids till I get past you!
human
Tom, don't be a fool!
gpt
Don't you, neither.
human
Tom, you're the darnedest obstinate cuss I ever saw in my life. You'll tip over backwards first thing you know.
gpt
Nick, if Emerson was here it would sure be his judgment that we-all can get to the top of this cliff. So you shut up and go on.
human
I tell you I won't do it till you go back! Darn your skin, I wouldn't be as pig-headed as you are for a hundred dollars a minute!
gpt
Well, I wouldn't be as big a fool as you are for a thousand!
human
Tommy, if you-all don't go back, I'll be no friend of yours after this day!
gpt
Well, if you don't go on and shut up that fool talk I don't want to be friends any longer with any such hen-headed, white-livered--
human
Tom!
gpt
Well, then, shut up and go on, or I'll call you worse names than that!
human
You obstinate son of a sea-cook, I tell you I won't go on unless you go back!
gpt
Nick, it will take me just about half a minute to get near enough to push you off. And I'm goin' to do it, too, if you don't hold your jackass jaw and go on.
human
Well, anyway, Tom, don't you try to take a deep breath or that belly of yours will tip the mountain over and make it mash somebody on the other side!
