I want to go home,
gpt
What! leave this beautiful world for the sordid one yonder?
human
Sordid it may be, but it's home. I can speak to and understand every man I meet on the streets there; there are the theaters and the club and the hunting and fishing and all that. Here it's nothing but pictures and concierges and lying cabbies. If I could collect all my friends and plant 'em over here, why, I could stand it. But I'm lonesome. Did you ever try to spread frozen butter on hot biscuits? Well, that's the way I feel.
gpt
Daniel, you are hopeless.
human
I admit it.
gpt
How beautiful the cypresses are in the sunshine!
human
The ten minutes are up,
gpt
Oh, I said let us be sensible for ten minutes,
human
I've been telling you the truth; that's sensible enough. Kitty, will you marry me?
gpt
Could you take care of me?
human
I have these two hands. I'll work.
gpt
That would be terrible! Oh, if you were only rich!
human
You don't mean that, Kitty.
gpt
No, relenting,
human
I don't. But you bother me.
gpt
All right. This will be the last time. Will you marry me? I will do all a man can to make you happy. I love you with all my heart. I know. You're afraid; you've an idea that I am fickle. But not this time, Kitty, not this time. Will you?
human
I can not give up the stage.
gpt
I don't ask even that. I'll travel with you and make myself useful.
human
You would soon tire of that.
