You did it, but you'll never get away with it!

Johnson----
human
Never in the world! I've got Wilkins as a witness and----
gpt
Witness for what?
human
Don't try that baby-stare stuff on me, Fry, he said.
gpt
I understand now. Last night I thought you were off on one of your eccentric spells, but you were crazy like a fox, you were! But don't think for one minute that Beatrice is fool enough to drop into such a trap!
human
What are you talking about?
gpt
The thing you've tried to put over, to get me away from Beatrice! Johnson Boller thundered.
human
That's enough! Don't deny it! I know you don't approve of matrimony; I know you never wanted me to get married; I know that we haven't traveled around as much this last six months as we did in the twenty years before it--and I suppose you've been lonely, because nobody else in the world would stand for you. But by Heaven, Anthony, I never thought you'd try to break up my family by----

human

human
Knew!
gpt

human
You! You lovesick fool and your crazy imagination! You're too much in love to reason, but--what about _me_?
gpt
Well, what about you?
human
I, said Anthony,
gpt
Don't bah at me!
