Did I hurt you much when I fell on you tonight, Teddy?
gpt
Hurt me?
human
Yes?
gpt
You knocked the breath out of me. But don't let a little thing like that worry you. I thought the tent had fallen on me, or at least a center pole. Lucky I was there, wasn't it?
human
It was.
gpt
You might have received a bump that you wouldn't have gotten over right away.
human
I might have done so.
gpt
I saved your life, didn't I?
human
Perhaps you did. I had only a few feet to drop, you know. I was ready to drop on all fours lightly when you happened to get in the way--
gpt
When I happened to get in the way?
human
Yes. Didn't you?
gpt
Well, I like that, growled Teddy indignantly.
human
Here I run in and save your life, willing to sacrifice my own for you and you say when I 'happened to get in the way.'
gpt
Of course, I appreciate your wonderful self-sacrifice. It was very kind of you to get in the way and let me fall on you. Nothing like having a soft place to fall, is there, old chap?
human
That's right; insult me. I'm only a clown and--and a life-saver--
gpt
And one of the best fellows a chap could have for his friend, eh? I was only joking, Teddy.
human
I accept your apology. My hand on it, answered Teddy condescendingly.
gpt
Next time you can fall on the ground or any old place. I don't care. I shan't try to catch you.
human
If I remember correctly, you could not very well help yourself in this instance. You did not catch me. I caught you--caught you unawares. There is Mr. Sparling and there are the boats. Don't they look fine, all lighted up inside, their signal lights burning on the outside?
gpt
They look wet to me.
